Andor Characters

3. The plot - despite Cassian’s plot armour (unavoidable) there was sufficient challenge and jeopardy to present a series of engaging stories

Yeah plot armour is a great concept - until it lets you down. I’m still not quite recovered from SPOILER

Great reference, but surely it needs to be under a spoiler ?

Spoiler

Too many characters with not enough development given to them. Can you even list off all the first names in the season? I can’t.

Opposite problem for the main character. Andor is essentially the same person from start to finish, except the Empire finally beat him down enough for him to go rogue, as if losing his father before the series’ events wasn’t enough motivation.

Andor also lacked any meaningful decision-making in his story. I guess he just forgot about searching for his missing sister after e1. Writers should have given him a choice to make, either saving Bix at the cost of the nascent rebellion, or sacrifice her for the cause. He basically got both and was a non-factor at the climax of S1.

Lastly, the pacing was absolutely atrocious. When a significant portion of your viewers refuse to keep watching because they keep falling asleep, and going to movie aggregate websites leaving that feedback… do better.

Hopefully, CG has better inspiration for new toons than this group of snoozefest characters.

Rogue One and Andor are Disneys best Star Wars. @Hermitthedruid why don't you nitpick the other shows or the ST, there's much more to find lol.

I want Deedra. We need another Imperial Trooper to have 3 Teams with the new conquest Moff Gideon forming a Remnant Team.

The other shows or the ST are rightly ridiculed, they don’t need my help. But Andor is so overrated, I can’t stay quiet about it. Every time I bring up my issues from above, no Andor fan ever responds with a good counterargument. They deflect and ignore, like all of you are doing. :D

Something for both sides of fandom to consider, but you can just say that Andor wasn't for you. You can state your opinion on how you didn't like the pacing or forgettable characters.

As soon as you state that it's bad, it often just starts an argument.

These kinds of conversations are fun but very subjective of course. However I feel you can make an objective case for Andor being a good show. Here’s my 5 point case:
1. The concept - showing the Star Wars universe principally from the perspective of the lives of ordinary people - was a good one that carried through well
2. The acting - consistently good with some really stand out performances
3. The plot - despite Cassian’s plot armour (unavoidable) there was sufficient challenge and jeopardy to present a series of engaging stories
4. The moral ambiguity- unlike most SW offerings, Andor did more to blur the lines between dark and light - giving sympathetic moments to imperial officers or presenting terrorism as a ‘good’ action in response to oppression- and giving its protagonists more morally complex motivations- it was a grown up show in that respect
5. Stand out moments that didn’t rely on CGI - the production was properly dramatic and not just a cartoon being levered into a live action context

Now - you don’t have to like any of that and it’s great if you prefer Mandalorian or Bad Batch - but to say it’s not good is just inaccurate.

I think you often encounter people who deflect and ignore you because people have no interest in engaging with you.

But if you want to rationalize it’s because your perspective and argumentation skills are so incredible that people are unable to construct a response, well, that’s a nice world you live in.
