>>723 this but with syril and dedra

Andor feels like Imperial propaganda the rebels are all incompetent, retarded monkeys that violently squabble over every little thing and hide in the shadows like snakes and the members of the imperial army are righteous upright citizens doing their civic duty to uphold imperial law and order.

>steal a prototype tie interceptor from Sienar; the empire's shipyard that makes millions of tie fighters >2 tie fighters respond fucking retarded

>>969 The whole sequel trilogy is about how incompetent and depressing the rebellion was and how it accomplished NOTHING of value.

That island girl tech person with the enormous ass is CUTE bros she's CUTE I want her to CRUSH me

>>997 TFA was Jar Jar Abrams (boot sniffer) arguing that Lucas failed and only Kathleen Kennedy could save the galaxy. TLJ was Rian Johnson arguing fuck you Abrams, fuck you Lucas fuck you Disney and especially fuck you fans. GIVE ME MONEY There wasn't a third movie. Abrams just filmed some bullshit to get out of the contract.

On a scale of 0 to Irreversible, how was the rape scene in Andor?

>>969 Midwit take. >>1047 Guy barely manage to actually touch the girl. The struggled and she won.

I barely understood the Tay/Mon storyline, and had to google what was going on there. Is Star Wars above my head?

>>1065 >Mon marries her daughter off to finance the rebellion with money from a known crook, Davo >Tay oversees this >the rebellion's activities negatively affects Tay's financially >Tay gets closer to Davo seeking financial opportunities >Luthen is afraid Tay talked to Davo about rebellion business >Luthen wants to silence Tay permanently >Mon isn't happy about this

This show feels like a fever dream. It's schizophrenic how frequently and abruptly it cuts back and forth between the plotlines, each scene just barely inching forward its respective plotline. The dialogue feels fucked up and obtuse for no good reason. I struggle to care about a single character in this show. I never gave a fuck about the Ferrix people, I don't care about Cyril and Dedra's weird autistic relationship, and I've grown to absolutely hate their version of Mon Mothma. I want to like Cassian, but the writers can't decide on how competent he is, so he randomly turns into the unluckiest bumbling schmuck in the galaxy at interval. God, I feel insane thinking about how much time was spent on Chandrilan wedding ceremonies across 3 fucking episodes. The writers must've thought the juxtaposition between the dark shit happening on the farm world and sporadically cutting to Mon Mothma rave dancing was the height of kino. Look, I was expecting a drop off between seasons, but I wasn't expecting the directors/writers to just completely lose it.

>>1065 Lutheran bought in Tay, a wealthy yet crooked banker, to be Motha's family fund associate, where Andor stole millions from the armory in S1. Mon Motha's assets were frozen, preventing her from coalescing the rebellion's network to be durable. So she had to scapegoat her husband with the gambling attack. That is as consistent as this without the wizard magic. I'm sure I get everything wrong.

>>1047 Nothing substantial, he just acts creepy and then starts getting handsy and then it turns into a struggle until she eventually clocks him a couple times with a wrench or something. Afterward she explicitly calls it an attempted rape. Hearing someone actually say "rape" in Star Wars was really weird. I'm sure that's very deliberate and the intended effect on the audience, but I'm not impressed by it. It just makes me feel tired of watching this show.

>>1067 >>1082 God the Mon Mothma plot is tedious, but we're supposed to clap and call it kino because the actress makes a good anxious expression after each dry conversation.

>>1086 I wouldn't mind seeing more of Coruscant, but all her scenes are in the fancy mansion.

My main issue with S2 was that pretty much none of the characters had any real drive. They were all dependent on Cassian, who was also thrust into some bullshit on the rendezvous with some random nobodies (who were pretty bad at acting). Cassian, for the most part, had to sit still for the duration of these 3 episodes, which trickled down to Bix and Brasso on the grain planet, and to Luthen who was stuck(?) at the wedding (he didn't have to be there). This as opposed to S1, where we were following Cassian as he was being hunted, because in the first episode, he killed two police officers. Additionaly, we were also following Syril who was activly persueing Cassian as he was getting closer to catching him. Characters were doing things, there was stakes involved. First 3 episodes of S2, I don't feel invested in any of the characters situations at all. The only "investment" I had was waiting for Cassian to get off that bullshit planet (which felt terribly contrived how he's gotten in that situation), and the moment Bix gets raped that I was hearing about on this app (nothing happened). My thoughts throughout the show wasn't "I can't wait to see what happens next", I was thinking "when does this part end". Almost every scene I couldn't care less about.

>>1130 Luthen wanted to be at the wedding, he was schmoozing for intel. Structure-wise it definitely seems much looser and less coherent than S1 so far. Everything in S1 feels like it has a causal link to everything else, you could tie any one thing that was happening to some other thing that was happening. But in these three episodes everything is atomised and nothing is good enough to stand alone. The time spent on Grain Planet is completely pointless. Cassian's time with the shit rebels didn't serve any purpose except maybe to convey that the rebellion is very poorly organised right now (which could have been accomplished in a single scene, much less three episodes). The wedding feels like treading water, I don't think a single person in the entire world cares about Tay being assassinated. The Dedra Ghorman stuff is probably closest to the main plotline of the season and they barely brushed off it. I'll reserve judgement until the other episodes are out, maybe it'll coalesce together somehow, but so far it feels like a real step down.

>>1131 >Luthen wanted to be at the wedding, he was schmoozing The writers wanted him to be at the wedding, and I can't think of any "Intel" he gathered besides maybe the mention of Ghorman, but I'm not sure what he could have gained from that interaction, as presumably the plans for that planet was made only a day prior (unless I missed something). I did like every scene with Dredra and Syril, however I do think it was a weird choice for them to get together. It's the obvious choice, but I thought it was so obvious the writers would subvert it in some way. Don't mind it, but expected more. I do think the show will pull itself together later on, but this was a terrible re-introduction to the characters.

>>980 One thing that peeves me that I found very silly was that apparently all the controls on the new model are now backwards? Imagine you're building a new prototype iterated off the old design, you have millions of soldiers who are trained on said old design, and for the new model the doctrine is completely changed and no one knows how to use the damn thing yet because the controls are now complete different. Absolutely moronic.

>>1170 I mean, it's just supposed to be a test ship, so it's probably loaded up with prototype features that would probably never make it to production. You know, overzealous engineers fucking around and throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks. That said, it is pretty absurd that the control system is apparently so utterly obtuse that those rebels couldn't even begin to figure it out after days of fucking with it, even if those guys were chucklefucks.

>>1177 Checked

>>1083 It's entire purpose is to draw attention to a dying franchise. Andor season 1 had the lowest viewership of all star wars shows, season 2 is going to be even lower.

>>1086 >we Clap for the system. Or for the 'underdog.'
