Star Wars "Andor'' is the prequel to "Rogue One a Star Wars story" that follows Cassian Andor's life during the spark of rebellion.
"Andor '' Is very well made production wise. Lucasfilm chose real life sets for this show, unlike "The Mandalorian" or "Obi wan" which both used the new dome screen technology. It's great to finally have a Star Wars show that is up in runtime too. Each episode is about 50 minutes and makes it feel like a real show.
But with these improvements from other shows, it sadly has a huge problem with its pacing. The story is very boring to say the least and has too many characters. It's always good to have new characters to further the plot, but many of them are unlikable and don't seem to have a reason in the show, other than to lengthen the run time. With a 50 minute runtime for each of the 12 episodes, the show can really drag at times. There are countless scenes where characters chat for long periods of time and it doesn't even help to further the plot.
Sadly, in the end the show is very forgettable to me. There are some great moments, but with so many slow scenes and unlikable characters it's just no fun. And maybe that's the reason for all this bad Star Wars content right now. Star Wars used to be fun. Likable characters with a fun plot of good versus evil. Simple even. Lucasfilm is complicating Star Wars and changing it from the childhood innocence that George Lucus intended. Maybe the days of good Star Wars content are gone for good. Somewhere in a galaxy far far away.

Thor Love and Thunder continues Thor's story after "Endgame" as he seeks to find meaning in his chaotic life. When Gorr "The God Butcher" starts killing all of the gods of the universe Thor must put together a team to destroy Gorr along with his magic Necrosword.
The movie, Directed by Taika Waititi (Thor Ragnarok) is filled with many jokes and is overall intended to be a fun film. Taika's humor is filled left and right throughout the film, but surprisingly he adds a bit of heart as well. Gorr is a well written character and is played wonderfully by Christopher Nolan who delivers a believable and creepy villain. With all the films so far none has given Thor a good ending. The movie created a perfect surprising ending that just works really well for Thor's character.
Unfortunately the film is far from perfect. Some of the jokes tend to fall flat when pushing a little too hard for a laugh. For a film that the whole family should enjoy, there is quite a bit of unneeded content as well. The story line was good but we've seen Thor so many times it can feel kinda bland.
Marvel seems to be at a stand still. Ever since it reached its peak with endgame it seems the storytelling has been quickly falling apart. Love and Thunder is definitely one of the better Thor movies but at times it can be just plain meh. Unpredictable. Kinda like thunder itself.

Ten years after the events of "Revenge of the Sith" on the desert Tatooine, Obi-Wan lives a slow life as he keeps watch over young Luke Skywalker. But when events occur involving the Inquisitors, Obi-Wan must re-awake his Jedi ways to save Princess Leia and confront the ever powerful Darth Vader.
The show works well in following the story of Obi-Wan and keeps you intrigued as every episode goes by. It does well in showing us new characters as well as a bunch of familiar ones. Filled with action there are some great epic scenes between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan that any Star Wars fan will enjoy.
Although it's a good show it does have some issues. I've noticed a trend with some Star Wars shows/movies. The writing. At times Lucasfilm decides to make a project just because a character is popular, when there isn't a good story idea to tell. Take "Solo" or "The Book Of Boba Fett '' both which had big story issues. Sometimes no matter how good a character, there just is no story left to tell. Obi-Wan has a few plot issues, and Reva's character seemed a bit forced at times. (no pun intended) Not everything is explained, leaving viewers to guess, which is not always a good thing.
Out of all the Star Wars shows so far this one has a more movie-like feel. It keeps a good pace and thankfully stays away from filler episodes. It's by no means perfect, but as a whole I would recommend it to all my fellow Star Wars fans out there.
