This show is so fucking boring. It might be good, but its not Star Wars. Even shitty Starwars is generally never boring. Two episodes of nothing happening outside of the alley murder (which gave me hope for a darker take on SW) and I could not fucking stay awake. I am tapping out on this and might revisit it if you guys say it picks up. I don't mind slow boil, but for fucks sakes this is Star Wars. SOMETHING should be happening. The thick as hell accents in the show are probably not helping either, because a lot of the subtext gets lost.

Did you guys not watch the third one? It's certainly not boring.
The second episode could have easily been 20 minutes shorter and merged with the first.
Beyond that, I'm absolutely enjoying the vibe. We've gotten a mountain of stuff that looks, sounds, and feels like Star Wars over the past 20+ years, and most of it sucks. This is refreshing. The editing and pacing isn't great but so far it's been well written, directed, and acted.
My prior concern remains, though. The tone is not conducive to the more lighthearted and fantastical elements of Star Wars. I don't know how they're going to effectively make that transition. If Darth Vader popped up leading a Baltimore drug ring in The Wire, it would be laughably bad, and that's kind how it feels like the Empire as we know it would play out here. Rogue One struck that balance well, but so far this show has gone way deeper into the srz bznz side of the spectrum.

For a tv show that leads into Rogue One the pacing and feel of this show isn't even right for the lead into Rogue One. Rogue One feels like Star Wars where this does not. They feel completely different. Boba Fatt was complete trash. Yes this is well written, directed, acted....yet at the same time boring, and way slower then it needs to be. Like I said something in between this and your usual Star Wars stuff and you might find the right mix.

So finished all 3 episodes, this is a well made show. Everything is week done, great locations, sets, etc…well written and well acted, by far the best made Disney+ Star Wars tv show.
That said, it’s definitely slow which I don’t mind when setting stuff up, hopefully they are mostly done with that with how episode 3 ended. I hope the rest moves more like the 3rd episode which I think was much better paced than the first 2.
I’m looking forward to seeing more, I think they have an interesting story to tell with Cassian joining the rebellion.
I hope we get to see more of the girl because she’s damn gorgeous.

Empire stuff should start trickling in now as we move past the first level of the bureaucracy. As i mentioned in my last post every three eps of this season are a somewhat contained mini arc, so i expect the stakes will rise quickly as we move along. In the latest Rolling Stone interview with Tony Gilroy he basically says they designed this to be a continual escalation for the whole season.
Also, after a few rewatches i am doubling down on B2-EMO's personality/memory chip becoming the one that Andor uses to reprogram K2 next season. Way too many lines he said sound almost exactly like K saying it.

is it possible that they released the first 3 episodes at once because they knew the first 2 were boring? would everyone here be just as excited if they only put out the first episode and made you wait 2 weeks for something to happen?

I actually really enjoy this show. Feels almost as good as mando s1. The relatively low stakes of it all in terms of the galaxy was actually a plus to me. Some random shithole security team vs some work-class drunken part time thieves was perfectly fine for me.
It's not the best thing I've ever watched, but solidly in the worth it territory.

It's the build up to the Empire coming to the scene. That shit will feel like the devil himself landed if we see a ANYTHING resembling a Sith/lightsaber.

yeah the corpos were great, i loved the older boss whose seen all this shit, knows the only reason his stupid shitty job exists is cuz its cheaper for the Empire not to deal with bullshit and outsource it all to SpaceChina, and then the young faggot comes around when his boss is out and decides to figure out the truth and fucks EVERYTHING up.
CorpoBoss is gonna be super pissed, "YOU LOST 30 MEN, DOZENS OF PEOPLE ARE SUING US IN SPACE COURT, AND WORKERS ARE TALKING ABOUT STRIKING!!! IF THE EMPIRE HEARS ABOUT THIS THEY WILL HAND OVER OUR CONTRACT TO SCHLOMO SPACE INDUSTRIES, THOSE FUCKING SPACE JEWS ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO STEAL OUR BUSINESS YOU GODDAMN RETARD"

I bet the other leader who supported him hard backstabs the shit out of him and all the soldiers go with it cause they like him, and creepy autism officer actually becomes a hero after the system fucks him in the dickhole... or I guess at least join's andor's team.

You're probably more close to right, cause he is an expendable white male. Our gentleman's bet to see if this show is woke as the rest of star wars is on.
