Brilliant.
Just watched the latest episode. Oh my word, it was beautiful.
I got to thinking that he’d make a pretty convincing ‘Bond baddie’.
Andor is fantastic tv.
Love it....With a cast of ex British soap actors and a good script/story line it totally shows up all of the other starwars universe shows. Maybe there's hope for the franchise yet?
I was sort of close with my predicted twist I suppose, shame there was no Darth Binks. Yet...
‘Hydro takes months to power back up’ dude not been to Dinorwic and heard about the 745pm kettle rush??
Cracking telly though. I love the Britishness, and would love to hear Diego Luna’s best Dick Van Dyke after filming that…
Was it just me?
I cant swim
What are you crazy the fall will probably kill you.

Loving Andor, just building and getting better and better.
Struggled with it to start with but now hooked with where it's going.
As for prequel/ sequel trilogy, the best tight saber fights are in episodes 1 and 3.
I liked the concept of episode 8 "forget the past..." Directly challenging nostalgia, but it didn't offer anything in return or an alternative direction.
Best things I've seen is some YouTube reviewer getting excited that the prison confirmed the existence of handrails in the star wars universe.

Haha, that's brilliant.
Bit slow tonight after last week's episode, Luthen's ship taking on the imperial patrol was good though. Hoping its building to major finale next week.
Luthen’s ship taking on the imperial patrol was good though.
Yup, that was brilliant! The Imperial ship's captain's face was a picture when he escaped; the actor is, I'm pretty sure, a British comedian - can't find his name.
Yep it was an admin heavy episode reminds me of the first couple which I nearly stopped at (but glad I didn't)
It would have flowed better if they ended last week on a cliffhanger - the prison break in jeopardy - and start this episode with the escape.
Next week is the final so more action I think.
This series has really grown, the bits I seem to enjoy less are when it reminds me we're still in the Star Wars universe, with fake aliens, although to be fair Luthen's ship is pretty badass.
It is though, still a WW2 spy story for the Y-Generation!
Great season finale. Nice post credits scene too!
I'll have to go watch that i didnt know there was a post credit scene!
Liked Andor better than any Star Wars series or film since the clone wars animated show
Quick edit after watching it, yes what was a very cool post credit scene
It feels so much more real, really get a sense of the evilness of the Empire, compared to the clown antics in the films.
I did check for the post episode credits this time - that's where the parts went.... as guessed
Luthen's ship was amazing at the end of E11. Need one.
👍 😁
Some interesting moments, the stabbing of the ISB undercover chap and the rescue of the ISB lady... More to follow on I suspect...
Great hologram speech. Another episode that made the Rebellion feel both essential and difficult.
and the rescue of the ISB lady… More to follow on I suspect…
Whoever posted before about the gender switch of Herr Flick and Helga really messed up that sub plot for me....
Really enjoyed the whole series, got the feel and atmosphere spot on. I'm not enough of a fan to get the links to other parts of the saga, but was quite happy with it as a stand alone series.
Season 2 release date is apparently "Sometime in 2024"
Bit of a wait. Actually too long of a wait, they should really have something like this as a series ready to go 6 months down the line. Tops.
Yes a lot of people will forget between now and then.
Troubled.
Andor is supposed to be set at the very beginning of the Rebellion, and yet at the very end...well I won't spoil it. So we're now to assume that all the events of the rebellion that is depicted in Ep4 - that it is in fact rather than a desperate group of rag-tag individuals, but an army with a command structure, weaponry, and all that goes along with that happen in between the ending of Andor and Ep4?
I think I'm complaining that yet again the need to supply nerds with easter eggs - in this case the things that they're building in prison are linked to something else...Really I don't care about what they're were building, it's unimportant. The constant urge that the makers of these series feel that they must signal to a group of nerds living in the parents basements really really gets in the way of telling decent stories.
It feels like the one bit of Star Wars that’s properly grown up. Best thing that’s come out of the Star Wars universe since the original trilogy for me.
Troubled.

Andor is meant to be set 5 years out from Rogue One / Episode 4, so I see this as either a flash forward so that we understand what the parts in the prison were being used for, ultimately the thing that kills Andor. Or that it is just an external shell at this point and needs a number of years for it's internal fit out.
Really enjoyed this series.
Meh, just pretend you didn't see the silly Marvel easter egg bit.
The episode was a fine end to an awesome series.
But was it just me that wondered how he found and got to Stellan Skarsgard's ship?
He parked it in the same place as the time he picked andor up from ferrix. When andor saw him there he knew where to go to his ship.
Really great series, enjoyed it hugely.
That was bloody brilliant. I purposefully avoided opening this discussion as we were late into it then binge-watched up to ep8, then had to wait and watch the last few week by week. Best series of the lot so far.
Need to go back and read this discussion now...
Cracking end to the series. Can't wait for the next.
Slow start, but was more me not really getting what it was all about until about half way through....I'd completely forgotten Andor was in Rogue one!! All suddenly made sense once I realized and I realized what they were making as well. Don't think we really needed the Easter egg at the end.
Just caught up with the last episode, fantastic overall a great series I thought. Hints at enough grown up stuff to keep adults in and still let kids watch...
Very good.
Intriguing ending.

Testing and commisioning, space trials, crew training, platform integration, human/alien factors assessments. Bet its an arsehole of a job getting a star destroyer into active sevice, nevermind a death star
Intriguing ending.
I was a bit befuddled by the ending, to be honest. Was wondering if there was 5 minutes they'd forgotten to edit in.
The Empire was there all along building stuff - storm troopers were about. The local enforcing lot probably joined/got zapped. All along there was some serious kit already there - the tractor beam ship ?
Loved it.
Early on in the season it was announced that the private local enforcing lot on Ferrix were to be replaced by direct control by the Empire, with forces on the ground.
I enjoyed it, much better than the other spin-offs.
Just finished it off. That was awesome. First series of Mandalorian was good but this was better. Nice and dark.
Echo a lot of the other comments - head and shoulders above the other Star Was spin off series that have come before. Enjoyed every minute of them to the point where I'm tempted to go back and watch them again...
Best series to go with the best movie (Rogue one, if not obvious). You could tell it was the same writer behind it too. Really enjoyed that, almost made up for the steaming turd that was Obi Wan

Meh, one out of context Easter egg doesn't really take the shine off the series IMO.
I think the thing I most like about the series is already knowing how and when Andor's life is going to end, where Mon Mothma finishes up etc, is the 'gap filling' for how they got there. Which is probably 'fan-service' but whatever, those gaps are one of the few bits left in that particular fictional universe where a bit of creative story telling can still happen, JJ pissed all over the later timeline, and George went and made the prequels...
What a fantastic series. It felt really nicely paced and not trying to fit X number of car chases or Y number of big explosions in per every 10 minutes. As above, I'm a tad confused as to how he found Axis and his ship at the end, perhaps the only part that seemed a bit rushed.
Overall, though, one of the best series I've watched. I don't normally make it past episode 2 of anything.
It's taken me a while to catch up but i really enjoyed that.
Very well written and acted. The character and world building was superb. Also, it looked amazing, set and costumes were movie level. I felt that Book Of Boba and Obi Wan looked pretty cheap and 'flimsy' ( thought they were ok, wouldn't watch again). This had a solid, lived in feel.
Loved all the stuff with the ISB, the gleaming white interiors and bureacracy. I felt this really expanded on what the Empire was.
And the prison break build up and finale was great. Andy Serkis is a terrific actor when he's not hidden by cgi...
The only negative was the lack of Saw Gerrera, more Forest Whitaker please. I'm assuming / hoping he'll have a live action spin off...?
