      Andor was great because disney didnt oversee the production. The Gilroy bros were allowed to just make. They filmed in real locations. Had actual characters with personalities. The bad guys seemed like a threat and not just bland targets.

      When disney oversees production the entire set is CGI (“the volume”). All the characters are very bland and vanilla to appeal to the most amount of people. Antagonist are narrow and usually a joke in terms of a threat.

      I haven’t really looked into this series and how much disney is forcing the hand of the director.

        That, and it was a good story set in the Star Wars universe rather than a Star Wars story where entire universe is the same 3 characters and their friends - every. goddamn. time.

    Please don’t be bad. All I have ever wanted is Star wars to delve into all of their rich lore. That isn’t surrounding that like 60 year Skywalker period. We are forced to consume. Please don’t fuck this up disney.

        You joke, but “Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina” was legit great. Everything that I hoped would be on film when Disney bought Star Wars…

          Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina

          I loved that book as a kid! Tales of the Bounty Hunters, too. I’m excited for the possibility that Acolyte could be something like those, and branch out into some new territory. I also know Disney is terrified of the possibility of alienating even the most casual watcher, so I’m also emotionally prepared for this to turn into GONK: The Beginning or some other OT prop origin story.
