One Year Later

(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.

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.

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.

But, for Disney to take their 'best of all time' and kill it off after only two seasons is quite insane.

The production is very good, acting superb, direction and pacing quite wonderful. A truly compelling start to season 2.

The rag tag rebellion is painfully real, idiotic, childish in so many ways, just as it would be in many cases. Excellent stuff.

The opening scenes, also, prove the writers understand what it means to start something you might not survive in the long run, e.g. Rogue One.

Season One was super, a truly worthy beginning, a confirmation of Lucas' vision. I loved every second.

Flawed? Not. Exacting and reflecting the truth of Rebellion: Definitely.

Well, here we are after 2.5 years of waiting! There has been a year time jump, and things pick up right away.

Andor has been the best thing to come out of Disney Star Wars, maybe even ever. I am being ecstatic to see where this goes.

New developments arise as the rebellion grows. New mysteries reveal themselves and I can't wait to watch more.

This was a solid start to the season. Good acting, good pacing, the music was also good. And I must say, the set design and special effects are already great. I am interested to see how they tie this arc up in the next two episodes. On to the next.....
