@TheDaddyBottom @drgurner @MNateShyamalan Gish gallop?

@42istheanswer @Darren_Mooney I enjoyed the start because of the mood it set, and the measured pace for setting up characters and locations.

It’s definitely slower than just about all other Star Wars media.

@_manderson20 @SheevTalks @quinlanbossig @realswtheory Why what?

Why was Andor more expansive and have more episodes?

Maybe the vision for OWK was limited and just relied on fan service because the studio thinks that’s what fans want.

[Sean Alexander Bart @SeanAlexanderB2]

@_manderson20 @ItzKrism @ripcristo_meth @ILikeCorghis @quinlanbossig @realswtheory It’s salvageable because of the quality of its writing, acting and production values? Well, that’s an indictment of the other shows.

If the only thing the Boba Fett and OWK shows have going for them is baked-in emotional associations from the fans, then…

@big_cheddars @scumbelievable Honoring that it’s Gilroy’s whole team that deserves credit; writing, directing, design is shared and passed around.

[Sean Alexander Bart @SeanAlexanderB2]

@realswtheory @HenriDMorales @Darren_Mooney So Andor captures the spirit of the original trilogy. True!

A little more character building, better dialogue, more measured pacing, which is boring for some people.

@loucottonballs @mmedeiros @FPWellman Chesebro also pleaded guilty to a felony.

That’s 2 out of 4.

@gabe_sandoval55 @DoubtfulKang @JustinFreeves @Fi_Atreides Can you explain “we already know everything about him already”?

I really don’t understand; from Rogue One we knew essentially nothing about for example his background or his journey, how he got involved, what role he had in previous events such as Aldani…

[Sean Alexander Bart @SeanAlexanderB2]

@gabe_sandoval55 @DoubtfulKang @JustinFreeves @Fi_Atreides I’m a fan.

Clearly not as comprehensive a fan as you are.

I haven’t loved all the shows or movies, largely due to the quality of writing, acting, directing and production design. And some plot choices felt lazy or dumb.

I do care for the story and plot, and Andor adds to it.

[Sean Alexander Bart @SeanAlexanderB2]

@gabe_sandoval55 @DoubtfulKang @JustinFreeves @Fi_Atreides None of the series are needed. That has absolutely no bearing on the quality and value of the show to me.

The show adds substance to the franchise, with new worlds, new ideas, deeper dives into multiple essential aspects of the driving dynamic.. and elevated production values.

[Sean Alexander Bart @SeanAlexanderB2]

@gabe_sandoval55 @DoubtfulKang @JustinFreeves @Fi_Atreides I’m not passionate about the story elements of the sequel trilogy, so that isn’t as meaningful to me as the substance —philosophy, world-building, production design, acting, writing, interesting characters… — of Andor.

Also, Andor gives plenty of material for future linking.

[Sean Alexander Bart @SeanAlexanderB2]

@gabe_sandoval55 @DoubtfulKang @JustinFreeves @Fi_Atreides As far as I’m concerned, there’s plenty in Andor that fleshes things out; adds context, detail, and connections; introduces great new characters, types, worlds, ideas and institutions — all linked to existing franchise elements in various degrees.

It expands the possibilities.

[Sean Alexander Bart @SeanAlexanderB2]

@gabe_sandoval55 @DoubtfulKang @JustinFreeves @Fi_Atreides I don’t quite understand what you mean by “adding something that wasn’t there”

They’re almost all new characters; there are new planets and fully-realized societies; portions of the Empire and its dynamics we’ve never seen before; more depth and detail to the Rebellion

So wdym?

@Shelley_Wilmoth @FarrierTheFirst “Let’s Get Small” has some of the best stand-up I’ve ever heard.

[Sean Alexander Bart @SeanAlexanderB2]

@Shelley_Wilmoth @FarrierTheFirst Ugh, what a great bit that is
