Watched them over the weekend, & I agree they were very good. [Reply]

I really like Count Dooku. I imagine I'd be a lot like him if I was a Jedi...fed up with all of the BS and assholes [Reply]

Yeah these were excellent, particularly for giving more depth to Dooku. [Reply]
Three episodes in. It's good, but still maintains this strange sterile feeling I get from watching The Mandalorian. I assume it's going to get much better. [Reply]

Stick with it, its much better than The Mandalorian IMO.
Another boss episode. Watching the old guy deteriorate was excruciating,
Spoiler!
the change in attitude from the Andy Serkis character at the end was just superb build up and writing.
The tension in this is fantastic, a true vision of a dystopian nightmare. [Reply]
The one thing that has me preferring Mandalorian to Andor is that, while Andor is almost certainly a 'better' show - I really have to pay attention to it.
I can sorta watch The Mandalorian while I'm doing something else; making dinner or catching up on sports news here or there. I can have it on without intently watching it and not lose track of anything.
With Andor, I find myself having to read recaps fairly frequently to get myself back up to speed on stuff I didn't pick up in real time.
Again - that doesn't make Andor worse; it probably makes it better. It just makes me prefer Mandalorian to it because it's less involved viewing. [Reply]

I'm the same way. In fact, I've turned on the closed captioning because I've been missing key details in conversations. I'm not able to multitask by listening while checking sports score on my iPad. [Reply]

I agree 100%.
This is higher quality, but the Mandalorian is also just more fun and enjoyable.
They're both great though, and in the same category as the original trilogy and Rogue One. [Reply]

It depends on the mood I'm in. I am enjoying this I think as much as Mando, but you're right it is an intense watch.
I do hope they continue to churn out this type of content. I posted before that this is the first production in Star Wars history that isn't at some level made with kids in mind.
And it's fucking heavy. And fucking bleak.
I hope it doesn't turn people off and the suits shy away from future stuff. [Reply]
i love this show just for the camera shot when she put the torture headphones on, cutting away to the floor outside the room as a booted imp walked by :-)
DIRECTLY out of A New Hope when Princess Leia gets the mind probe [Reply]

Its just a cheap change from what Francis Scott Key Heard from General George Washington " American Christian apart from all other people in the world is he will die on his feet before he will live on his knees." [Reply]
