What a Festive Evening

This series really does get better and better from story arc to story arc. The build-up is insane, the script is perfectly structured, the dialog is fantastic and the acting from EVERYONE involved is just great.

This is peak Star Wars!

Andor proves that with the right leads in front of and behind the camera, it's still possible to tell great and not forced stories in the Star Wars universe and I'm so grateful that this show exists and hopefully Disney will finally take a cue from the quality of this show for the future of Star Wars.

Tony Gilroy has created something truly wonderful here.

PS: Gohrman is so detailed I could cry.

This is a strong conclusion to the second trilogy of episodes with standout moments.

There is little information about the plot I can reveal without spoilers but it is safe to say that this is a pretty tense and eventful episode that contains compelling moments on both Ghorman and Coruscant. Characters like Syril, Dedra, Luthen, Krennik, Kleya Marki, Vel and Cinta are all use well by the filmmakers.

For me the highlight is the final scene, which I can give no details about, other than it was unexpected to me and a satisfying moment given the build up involving the relevant characters. What the fallout will be is quite intriguing. I hope when the time jumps to the next three episode arc that it will be shown as having a significant impact.

For me all actors are on top form and the visuals are amazing as ever.

For me it is an 8.5/10, but I round upwards.

If you don't like this show up until now, this arc won't change your mind. But if you love this show as much as I do for its writing, tension, characters, and intrigue you will absolutely love this arc. Don't expect loads of action or a huge flashy finale like The Eye, but expect a masterfully crafted and tension filled thriller of an arc where every character gets to shine.

The time jump works wonders for these episodes, letting us jump straight into the plot while smoothly catching us up on events from the lost year.

Certain characters meet that you would have never thought would meet and it's wonderful. The music absolutely holds its own even with Britells abscense. And finally props to the show for making a new language for the Ghorman.

Just go watch it.

Another fantastic arc.

The sets, costumes, effects, acting, cinematography and dialogue are all otherworldly. Truly the best we've seen in Star Wars.

The arc comes to a satisfying conclusion. I was on the edge of my seat this episode. It's amazing what the writers are able to accomplish with minimal action. It reinforces the action because there has been so much buildup.

The only thing I'm slightly disappointed by is that I wish there was more.

I think it was a good call to have 3 episodes release a week. Having this stretched out over 12 weeks would be hard. Can't wait for the next episodes!

The score, the visuals, the effects, the acting, the directing, the writing, the editing - every element is a masterclass in this arc.

Even though there wasn't much action, I was still on the edge of my seat at the end of this episode.

The characters are smart, there's not a single mistake or irrationality in the writing, each actors and actresses deliver absolutely phenomenal performances.

One criticism I would say is that the last scene may have been rushed a little bit, a short scene where the characters get informed and discuss their next move which was displayed in the last scene may have helped in my opinion.

Still, the other Disney plus series can't even compete with "Andor", this show is on another level. Sadly I feel we will never get this good Star Wars ever again after this show ends, but I'm grateful it happened.
