Wow, I know I'm late to the party, but Andor is literally what I've always wanted from Star Wars. (sh.itjust.works)

What an absolutely perfect depiction of this universe. I'm starting the second episode of season 1 now.

I can't want to have my wife watch it before season 2. I think she, the generally ambivalent to the Wars, will like it a lot.

Yea, I thought halfway into episode 1 this isn't a good Star wars show, this is just a good show.

Brethren I thought it was going to be a 3 episode series, so when episode 3 ended I told my GF at the time "give this man ALL the Star Wars, I need moooore!" only to discover there were 9 more episodes coming!

The best Star Wars content in YEARS since Rogue One, which, ironically, was directed by the same guy.

Ironically? Nay, purposefully.

Mine definitely enjoyed it. She's patient with my sci-fi viewing habits, as I am with her RomComs. But she said if all of Star Wars were like Andor she'd watch them with me

If my partner is ambivalent about Star Wars, but liked Battlestar Galactica and Game of Thrones, will she like Andor?

@Shyfer @NeptuneOrbit

I think Rogue One and Andor are better entry points for people who like grittier more socially realistic fantasy/sci-fi. If she likes BSG and GoT, she is far more likely to be into Andor than other Star Wars.

Thanks! That's good to know. Maybe I can trick her into watching with me with these recommendation quotes in hand lol.
