Are they seriously doing an entire series about the dude from Rogue One? LMAO.
Part of that is due to the length of the series. Andor is slated for 12 episodes instead of the 8 for each Mando season.the really crazy thing is the rumor is that Andor's budget is over $250m, which is greater than both seasons of mandalorian
maybe they are shooting 2 seasons back to back or something
"Diversity consultants" have high salaries.
Since our introduction to the character is literally shanking a guy who just gave him info so the empire couldn't catch them both, I sure hope that's the tone for the series.I think the only thing about Andor is it has the possiblilty of being the darkest/grittiest of the SW shows so far. Also K2S0.
Rey is an absolute trash character. She doesn't have any progression or character development at all through the series. I don't hate the person or the acting, but the character/role was just the absolute fucking worst. Kylo is about a million times more interesting, and he's a retarded manbaby with force powers and a terrible character to watch. It's only the fact that he's the only character that seems remotely human that the audience is drawn to him as such.I liked Rey fine enough but definitely could do without.
Not that we really need to rehash that the Disney sequels ranged from mediocre remake (TFA) to actively bad (TLJ, ROS), and that was almost entirely due to the (re)writing, not the acting, but we need to be very clear here:
The reason Kylo Ren was the only interesting new character in the sequels is because modern liberal orthodoxy says that 'minorities' cannot possibly have any flaws, and thus can't change because they were perfect to start with and will always be perfect forever.
There are no grounds to think that orthodoxy will change anytime soon, and the only vote you have is with your wallet.
What was hilarious is how this was embodied/symbolized so efficiently in a scene within the movie.
Finn was the closest character outside of Kylo to have an arc. He was a coward and powerless at the start of the film due to being a victim of horrible torture and kidnapping. Slowly he becomes braver (And stronger). Then, at the ultimate moment when his arc might reach its zenith, and the man who tried to run away from the fight multiple times decides to be the hero who sacrifices himself for his friends by NOT running even when it seems hopeless and everyone else does....Right at that moment Social Justice personified literally rams him from the side and tells him "no, Finn. You were right, you never needed to fight them, you just need to 'save' what you already were!" (Forget the fact that this, of course, makes no sense...)
It was one of the most baffling scenes I have ever seen in a film. To this day I find the stupidity of this scene to be more stupefying than the entire sum of dumb scenes The Room. On a philosophical level, it is really that nonsensical and bad that it seems crafted expertly to be just that. (Which is actually quite amazing in its own right.)
