    Bravo Toby!

    Terrific opening episode. Star Wars has never felt as real as it does now, not even in 'Rogue One'. It's relatively slow, yes, but it's not a problem at all. I like it when shows take the time to establish their characters, so when the stakes get elevated, it's all the more rewarding and suspenseful. This is clearly going to be a deep character study, so we must get to understand the characters first and see the world from their perspective. The first two episodes aren't boring at all, and if they would have been mashed into one episode along with the third one, as some have wished, everything that comes down in the third would not be even nearly as intriguing or satisfying. This is going to be one hell of a show. Bravo Toby!

    Solid Beginning to Something More

    The premiere episode is a fairly good start to the series. I usually don't expect much out of the very first episode of any series. This episode was not a dynamic or an explosive episode for me, and I'm okay with that.

    Beginning with the critical feedback, I'm not entirely sure where this series is heading despite being the first episode. I also was caught off-guard on the shortness of the episode runtime. I seriously didn't realize the episode was concluded until the ending credits rolled.

    The first act of the episode was the strongest in my opinion. The suspense in one particular scene really showed Andor's threatening nature very well.

    This episode only marks the beginning and I just look forward to more episodes in the future.

    This ain't about to get lower scores than Book of Boba or Kenobi under my watch.... Nope!

    I'm sorry, but no. This has the best acting, writing, visuals, directing, and atmosphere out of any recent Star wars project... There ain't no way the fandom is gonna unanimously agree on everything, I get it, however this has some of the most care I've seen outside of the animated projects put into it. This FEELS like a team of people that spent time and effort on every little thing and it's really a shame that there are some individuals that would rather see 30 plus minutes of mindless action than watch a story start to unfold into something greater. I feel like for the first time in a long time that Star Wars is growing up... I only hope some of the more critical of this show will too.

    Shaping up Not Only to Be the Only Competently Written D+ Show Next to Mandalorian...

    ...But also, the only D+ show that actually feels like a real TV Show and not a 2-hour movie split into parts, and not bound by the weird 6-episode-only formula of MCU shows that surprisingly makes the writers both drag the first half of the show and also rush the ending with lots of lost potential.

    This episode is the opener of the season and is obviously gonna be an introduction with fewer big events or explosions and action and all that, and I think that's why they released 3 episodes first and I'm assuming the 3rd is gonna end on a cliffhanger or something. The point I'm trying to make is that the show seems a slow burn and I actually like they're going this route and laying their plot this way instead of rushing or giving us pointless action just to keep the kids' attention span on the screen.

    And that's also why I'm giving it a 7 because it is a competent start but nothing mindblowing or amazing yet.

    This show's writing also continues the way of Rogue One's character building and giving characters backstory which I really liked about Rogue One as opposed to the Sequels. Even though this is like the simplest and most clichéd way of characterization, doesn't mean it's not gonna work and is definitely better than wasting 3 big movie budgets and +6 hours of our lives on a character with no name of family or backstory. And I am in no way trying to say that a character without flashbacks and backstory about his/her parents/siblings doesn't work at all, it's just that they went out of their way to find the most horrible way to implement this point about that character. This was the reason why many people liked Jyn and not Rey, cause her story was personal and she had the least amount of characterization and something that made us care about her character.

    So like I said, they actually give backstory to the protagonist here and make the story personal just like Rogue One. One of the main reasons Star Wars became so huge was because of this personal storytelling and characters being each other's sons and sisters. It's space family soap opera after all.

    So it's a competent start and did a good job of reintroducing Cassian Andor and giving him a competent backstory. Though I am getting a little tired of seeing flashbacks all the time in these shows. So let's hope these were the only ones or at least.

    And also here's hoping the show is actually what it's looking to be and won't be incompetently written like every MCU show so far or the horrible Obi-Wan show written by a 5-year-old, and isn't rushed in the last few episodes, which by the looks of the number of episodes, it doesn't seem that way.

    Finally good Star Wars

    Andor is unlike anything we've seen from Star Wars before. Cassian Andor is a complicated character - something special in the otherwise superficially drawn Star Wars world.

    Andor is set before the events of Rogue One and before the Rebellion openly opposes the Empire. So these are dark times - Andor can best be compared to Rogue One but The series expands the star wars empire with more emotion and variety. Its completely different to all Star Wars movies and series befor but gives the whole umiverse a new touch of emotion, depth and will to be something emotional and worth watching beside popcorn cinema.

      Timm mentions a "Wobani run." This was the planet on which Jyn Erso was being detained at the start of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) and the name Wobani is an anagram of "Obi-Wan."

      At around 30 minutes, the character Bix walks past a bald man heaving a coil onto a box, and goes through an open door. She then walks past the same bald male, heaving the same coil.
    • Quotes

      Chief Hyne: This case appears to bear all the hallmarks of what I like to describe as regrettable misadventure.

      Syril Karn: Sir?

      Chief Hyne: Two dedicated Pre-Mor employees caught in the sad orbit of a rare calamity.

      Syril Karn: I don't understand.

      Chief Hyne: I want you to conjure a suitable accident.

      Syril Karn: But...

      Chief Hyne: And let's make sure it's on the far side of the plaza. Let's get it outside the Leisure Zone.

      Syril Karn: But they were murdered.

      Chief Hyne: No. They were killed in a fight. They were in the brothel, which we're not supposed to have, the expensive one, which they shouldn't be able to afford, drinking Revnog, which we're not supposed to allow. Both of them supposedly on the job, which is a dismissable offense. They clearly harassed a human with dark features and chose the wrong person to annoy. I suspect they died rushing to aid someone in distress. Nothing too heroic. We don't need a parade. They died being helpful. Something sad but inspiring in a mundane sort of way. You look stricken, Deputy Inspector. Are you absorbing my meaning here?

      Syril Karn: Trying, sir.

      Chief Hyne: When I said bad timing, I wasn't referring to the fact that you spent all night worrying this. I meant that I am on my way this very morning to an Imperial Regional Command review, where I'll be asked to make a report about our crime rates, and the goal of that speech, should you ever be asked to deliver it, is brevity. Minimizing the time the Empire spends thinking about Preox-Morlana benefits our superiors and, by extension, everyone here at the Pre-Mor Security Inspection team, which at the moment includes you. Don't put your feet on my desk in my absence, and let's have an accident report waiting when I get back.
