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

That's how i found it, so stopped lol i watched all of mando, but can't say id rewatch any of it. Lots were very meh to me. Ashoka was better, but i preferred kanobi. The new series i like, it's a decent mystery and a pre Republic story, of a time i haven't visited before.

Very surprised to see this is embossed... The character is embossed and logo within is debossed. Looks like zero finish. Photo pinched from fb. Unboxing from around 3:10 on yt.

Great looking steelbook! Wonder what made them only do this one and not the others.

Besides Mando 1 (and 2ish if it wasnt for the forces member berrie) the only good SW thing that came from Disney. And the best SW anything ever. If you think this is a bore fest you dont know what you're talking about and need to watch it sober or without checking your phone every 5 secs. Rewatched it last week and it's incredible. Can't wait for this to arrive but it's still a month away

What are the discs in the UK edition? It looks like the label says 4K + Blu-ray, but it's only two discs, so only 4K?

They're stacked in European releases, one of the reasons I bought all 8 in US. Two of both per side.

6 discs. 3 of each format. Stacked each side. Only way to make it work with that many. The other D+ steels have all be 4 discs in the UK (2 of each format), and had individual hubs.

It is the only one of the D+ steels that didn't have a micro person in the middle of the artwork though (symbol instead), and the central character is quite a bit less cropped than mando etc.. so I guess it's more emboss friendly, if you like... god knows though, clutching at straws lol

Only with this one, afaiw. All others have been 4 discs, with 4 hubs. No complaints from me there. Don't love stacked though.

Oh, now I see where the debossing came from - the hubs paid for it...

I don't know how true it is but I heard that Andy Serkis went method on this one & was involved in floor managing production. He was quoted as saying “I’d rather die trying to take them down than die giving them what they want.” when asked to produce a matt finish no-frills steel for Andor.

Just what I heard. I think they ended up using that line in the show believe it or not.
