Hate it. So the message of Andor is it's ok to commit murder as long as it for the benefit of the cause. So the ends justify the means. Great Messaging Disney. That is not what Star Wars is about.

Probably the best disney star wars show to release since the mandalorian.

If you liked 'Rogue One', you'll likely enjoy this prequel (set five years before Rogue One).
Some familiar people, places and creatures, but also some unfamiliar ones.
I personally love the flashbacks to Cassian's childhood. It helps to flesh out his character and explain how he became the person that he did.
It's gritty and realistic with great cinematography.
Some might say it's slow, but do yourself a favour and watch the first three episodes in close succession... as they really do fit together as a movie length introduction to the series.

Great show so far, I do have problems with the Rebel's morals but I am enjoying so far!

The one and only Star Wars TV/movie story that is actually good and not just a visual spectacle. Yeah, I said that. Don't fight me though. 

I have only ever watched Star Wars shows and movies for the visuals and fight scenes. Never have I actually been captured by the stories.

But Andor... it's just on a whole different level. Well done to the writers here. Some of the best non-movie visuals ever as well!

"Star Wars: Andor" takes a different approach to the galaxy far, far away. It's not about lightsaber duels or epic space battles, but rather the gritty reality of rebellion. This series delves into the everyday struggles of people fighting for a cause, and it does so with a refreshing realism that resonated with me deeply.

As a Star Wars fan, I've always been drawn to the core philosophy of the franchise – the constant struggle between good and evil, the reminder that life is about making choices and aligning yourself with one side or the other. "Andor" embraces this theme, but instead of showcasing grand battles and heroic deeds, it examines the everyday compromises and sacrifices that fuel a rebellion.

Cassian Andor, the series protagonist, is a welcome change from the typical Star Wars hero. He's not a Jedi with supernatural powers or a charismatic pilot with a knack for the Force. He's a man driven by personal loss and a deep sense of injustice, forced to make hard choices in a brutal, unforgiving world. He's flawed, relatable, and his Latin background adds a distinct layer of cultural richness to the story.

"Andor" doesn't shy away from the darker aspects of the Star Wars universe. It explores the bureaucratic machinery of the Empire, the moral compromises people make to survive, and the devastating consequences of war on ordinary citizens. This level of detail and realism gave the series a powerful sense of immediacy, making me feel like I was truly a part of this world.

While I appreciate the epic scale and grand adventures of the Skywalker saga, "Andor" offered something different. It provided a nuanced and complex exploration of the political and social forces that shape the Star Wars galaxy. It gave me a deeper understanding of the sacrifices made by the rebels, the price of freedom, and the enduring power of hope in the face of tyranny.

If you're looking for a Star Wars story that goes beyond the lightsaber battles and focuses on the human cost of rebellion, "Andor" is a must-watch. It's a compelling and thought-provoking series that reminds us that the fight for freedom is a complex and often messy struggle.
