Thank you to the YouTuber for holding the steelbook as far away from the camera as possible. So many of these videos give close-up views of the steelbook, which is always so annoying.
Other than Andor himself there's no similarities between Rogue One and this show. Rogue One was good, Andor is like watching paint dry
There are plenty of similarities in therms of vibe and world inhabited. I need some of that paint your watching...
If they actually want to release only the seasons that are at least a year old, they can't be doing them at this tempo.
Although looking at the list of their shows, they could release next:
Hawkeye
The Book of Boba Fett
Ms. Marvel
She-Hulk
But that would break the 2 Star Wars / 2 Marvel scheme, so maybe replace one of those with S3 of Mandalorian...
That's probable for this Christmas period.
Then all that will be left for next summer's set 4 of 4 is:
Ahsoka
Secret Invasion
Loki S2
and whatever is left from the previous one, like Ms. Marvel
Then they'll be running out of shows. By the end of '25 there's only going to be The Acolyte left old enough.
So with all this moaning that they're releasing too much, there isn't that much, especially compared to the networks 'of old', that had 24+ shows with 24 episodes each EVERY season...

See, that's exactly what I thought. Really liked rouge one, it's my 2nd favourite of the disney SW films, after TFA. He was far from the most interesting character though, and this series just didn't grab my attention. I should probably try to finish it, as it does apparently get better.
I thought Andor was excellent Star Wars all the way through. Watching The Acolyte, I've realized that I prefer SW series that are far removed from the Skywalker story (Andor, Acolyte, Mandalorian S1). As soon as a series gets bogged down with resolving minute details about Skywalkers and Clone Wars, that's what feels like watching paint dry to me.
I really wasn't planning on buying the Andor steelbook again, but I can't resist debossing.

Acolyte has been really disappointing so far, last episode was better but overall pretty poor.
I get that, and I'm not going to argue about SW series, since everyone has different preferences and expectations for them. I thought Acolyte was terrible in the first couple of episodes, but it has won me over. I rewatched all the episodes leading up to the current one, and I found that when I know where the story is going, the earlier episodes actually play much better. It's not perfect (the script sometimes...), but I appreciate that Headland is bringing a very different perspective to SW. For me, it's becoming a nice contrast to the endless Filoni-ism (and I once thought Filoni understands SW better even than Lucas, but really, enough with shoehorning Ahsoka and Clone Wars stuff into everything). Hopefully the last three episodes can keep the momentum going.
It's a very marmite show. There's plenty who like me found it a huge bore fest but then there are others who loved it.
I actually don't remember it getting better either, seem to remember the first few episodes being the only ones I found mildly entertaining
It divides into a few different "adventures," so I could see someone not caring for the opening arc but enjoying the heist or the prison break. Or not.
I guess I'd rather have SW series that are either loved or hated than ultra-bland (Boba, Kenobi, etc.). Make stories that provoke a reaction, not that rearrange fan-service moments to no purpose.Yup, US is glossy, UK isn't but is bossed. As to which is nicer? I've yet to see both together.
Oh man this one is debossed? I might have to upgrade my US one. xD
I felt Andor might have been one for the Gen Xers who grew up with only the 3 Star Wars movies for decades. Personally, I thought Andor was fantastic. Story is top notch and looking forward to the next series. Disney produce so much insipid dross though, I'm not sure Star Wars or Marvel will ever recover.
I'll have to rewatch, as i feel as though I'll buy it now lol i actually liked kenobi, even if it was a touch bland. I preferred it to ashoka. I actually like the new one, despite it being slated. It's kinda mysterious.It divides into a few different "adventures," so I could see someone not caring for the opening arc but enjoying the heist or the prison break. Or not.
