One Year Later

So I finished rewatching the first season yesterday, and it was still as good as I remembered. Rewatching it makes the second season better because you realize how well they're continuing each character's story.

The episode starts with a great action scene to remind us once more that Andor is the best good-looking show on Disney Plus and has the best production value out of any show that has come out of this streaming service.

I still can't believe how good everything looks in this show. Every set looks practical and feels like a real place that characters are actually in.

The first episode of the second season does a great job of showing how each character is at this point from where we left off.

Bix still has PTSD from that awful torture she endured for days or even months, even after a year has passed, and I'm glad that the writers didn't forget about that and didn't just write it off. This is why the show is so good; actions have lasting consequences, and character development is here to stay.

They also do a great job of adding Krennic to the show with a pretty good explanation as to why he's here. The reason he's here actually makes sense and makes me excited for what's about to come.

The Ghorman scene reminds me of that scene in season 1 where the ISB is casually brainstorming about killing someone and making it look like an accident, and making up a story about it. But this time the scale is way up, and it's about a whole planet with multiple cities and thousands of citizens.

I thought Andor's plotline was good at the start, but became stagnant and predictable as it went on, and they maybe should've resolved it in the middle of the episode instead of stretching it to the end. But I guess it's all setting up to something bigger, and I have faith in the writing to turn this plotline into something amazing like the previous season.

Overall, it's a great season opener catching us up with each important character and setting up new plotlines. The only plotline I thought was repetitive throughout the episode and was predictable was Cassian's, but it wasn't that bad either. I'm sure the next episodes are gonna be even better.

After season one i was very excited for season two! It just felt good to actually be excited for something in the Star Wars universe! So far.. I am not disapointed!

The production and quality is still incredible! Every scene and setting looks amazing! It has that unique identity, thst puts It above just beeing empty background noise! Just like in season one, it helps create this world you just wanna immerse yourself in!

The tension and suspense was great too! I was on edge most of the time, fully invested as I felt The Empire breathing down my neck! Once again we get to see just how far The Empire is willing to go, to achieve there goal!

The action is explosive, well directed and heavy hitting whenever it is there!

As a Clone Wars fan, I even got a bit excited when a certain name was brought up!

So far, this season looks to be one amazing ride!

Nothing crazy happens but its a good introduction to this season and some very interesting topics were brought up. I didn't expect Krennic to show up so soon but I am more than happy that he did because he is a great antagonist and I look forward to get more from his character. I am very much looking forward to this season. If this season tops the quality of season 1 the way every one is talking about then I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being the best Star Wars project. Good start, not a whole lot to report on but seeing Bix healthy and normal again made me very happy. That is all, goodbye.

(very mild spoilers)

Bigger, faster, louder, and dare I say funnier. The first shot screams artistry, the 4BBY date is like a doomsday clock for Rogue One - and the end of the show for that matter.

Grips you immediately and doesn't let you go, I honestly would've been happier waiting week by week for each episode, this episode offers a lot to think on. Especially considering this episode DOES NOT take it as slow and methodical as the start of season 1 was.

What can I say that hasn't been said about Season 1? The writing is brilliant, translating into realistic and charismatic dialogue, the production quality all around is top notch - feature film level in fact. The action is riveting and the CGI blends in with superb sets and costumes. Cinematography wise I'd consider this an upgrade over Season 1, using carefully composited framing with wide angle lenses. Used particularly to great effect in this episode in an immersive 'oner'.

The Tie Avenger is awesome, this IS Star Wars.

So it again took a bit to adjust to a new Star Wars environment. Again a bit slow. But none of this is a bad thing.

Star Wars stretching past Skywalker, savers and tattoine is a brilliant move. This episode starts slowly to set the stage. A bit more drama than last but beautiful to behold.

A lot if the time my imagination is wondering where the path is going. The building character development is awesome. The succinct scripting but secretive about the plot captivates me. Just like this rebellion, not is just given easily. You earn the outcomes as a viewer. I can't wait to see what next episode holds.
