yeah this is greatthe policing aspect feels like oldschool brit procedural and i LUV it also aesthetically- love the color pallete, all the browns & oranges… also it needs to be said that star wars universe outerwear is chef’s kiss always

Am saving the third episode for the weekend but yeah loving it so far.
The universe feels lived in and the characters for once appear to be driven by human-level motivations - misplaced ambition, jealousy, laziness, spur-of-the-moment thoughtlessness. People actually talking like people, instead of just delivering exposition. No one is just going round going from place to place completing RPG quests (which is what Obi-Wan/Mando sometimes felt like).
also hell yeah, blue ramen

Andor truly the Star Wars show for anyone who ever wanted a Star Wars without Jedi, lightsabers, action, cool spaceships, iconic designs, John Williams music, or things happening at all, but get really excited about scene after scene of intensely whispered exposition— Matthew Perpetua (@perpetua) September 21, 2022
It's amazing how this guy is just wrong about everything. I knew the second I saw this tweet that I would love the show.

I enjoyed the first few episodes of Andor, so now I'm going back and checking out Kenobi, and holy shit, I never realized how brutal the recruitment process for RHCP was.

big ACAB energy so farare my eyes deceiving me or was the police bus thing that brought the cops down to the planetary surface the same sort of vehicle that the jawas bundled our droid friends into on tattooine? as if the jawas had found an old junked spaceship of this model and repurposed it into a sand crawler?i wasn’t thrilled by the horizon zero dawn shit but at least it’s out of the way. that really could have all been told in a line or two. the way cas was “adopted” was fairly… horrific?! like okay maybe you’re right that he would have been in trouble or even killed later, but who put you in charge
― Tracer Hand, Sunday, 25 September 2022 00:11 (one year ago) link
Oh I very much like the idea that the 'adoption' wasn't nice, pleasant or even desired!

the cop transport was similar to a clone wars-era troop transport from the starwars 2 movie

Mull of Kenari
― Stevolende, Sunday, 25 September 2022 07:49 (one year ago) link
Am at least semi enjoying this though am aware taht whatever background is being set is pretty temporary no matter how in depth it's being set up as so intrigues between side characters probably not as important as might seem. I take it we do know the ultimate end of the story arc anyway & it ain't no frog chorus. THough possibly set up to show attitudes to loyalty and a few other things. Though he do seem a tad shady and stuff. Trying to work out why the kids clothing on Kenari looks so manufactured when they seem to have been returned to a primitive level though not sure how long before. THought clothing would be more natural/simple not as textured or complicatedly finished. KIds look more dressed than scrabbling by having to make clothing or whatever from local materials.
Is this like a footnote to a footnote if the main character is someone whose til now main arc was inside a film that sets up some of the action in one of the original films.
― Stevolende, Sunday, 25 September 2022 08:59 (one year ago) link
Yes definitely - backstory to the backstory.Interesting point about the clothes. Maybe they’re still getting by on the remains of what the mining colony left (maybe 100 years earlier? Hard to tell)I wonder if Dudley Do-Right policeman is going to “break good” at some point
― Tracer Hand, Sunday, 25 September 2022 09:05 (one year ago) link
The situation on Kenari was relatively recent. There’s that line in the third episode about how Cassian saw his father hanged by the imperials in the town square as a kid! The implication is that the adults were killed or were absent for other reasons. I think the bouncing between his past and the present day sets up the parallel of circumstances molding his path. He didn’t choose to leave his planet but that became his life, much as he isn’t actively trying to become a rebel agent but he’s stuck with another foster parent figure again. Orphans make the best agents, you know. I kind of hope they follow through on that, and his diminished sense of agency, as he gets groomed as a spy and assassin

(I mean, it seems incredibly likely they will with Gilroy reusing some of the backstory markers from his Bourne series screenplays)

Yeah this was really sharp. Just the way this show easily introduces characters, switches scenes and modes while maintaining mood.

getting to the end of Obi-Wan Kenobi, there's certainly some good stuff here, I like the new bad guys and Darth Vader of course, but the retcon level is so high as to make it rather aggravating

(i've never been to england) i like how the first three eps of andor are set in some sort of blighted northern england post-industrial mining village! perhaps the next star wars series will be how the same planet gave birth to the post-modal nodes band the max rebo twelve and their label sandcrawler records?
― 龜, Wednesday, 5 October 2022 03:32 (one year ago) link
great show if your favorite part of star wars were the scenes of imperial officers sitting around a table bitching at each other or if you were curious about the lives of all the construction workers and contractors who died on the 2nd death star

xp I actually am glad after the last set of Star Wars shows that we're getting a bunch of new/different planets and ecosystems, especially after Boba Fett. (We got like, two or three newish locales on Obi-wan, but eh.) Even "new" Coruscant was fun to see.

i thought the same thingyes his mom is great. strangely for such a diverse and motley set of beings she’s one of the few real “characters” in this showi was psyched for the heist but now i’m very much enjoying the slow burn. “clem” a bit jumpy, not just a strong dude for us to identify with but a dude with problems. “we all have our own rebellion” - loved that. will our double agent’s moment of sentimentality - allowing the men to watch the cosmic happening - come back to bite them? i don’t know but i loved that we got to see that little grin
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 7 October 2022 08:23 (one year ago) link
maybe didn't follow the plot but felt like that smile was showing that he played them, got them to think he was giving them what they wanted when really he cleared them out to not be paying attention during the heist or something?
I'm enjoying Ebon Moss Bachrach. I HATED him on Girls, where he played a truly odious character. Then when he showed up in the Bear I was like ugh this guy again, but then I was like well he's playing an asshole, do I hate the actor or just his characters? Then by the end of the Bear I was like, aw I like this guy, and now here he is again! And he's enjoyable. ANd I can erase his Girls character from my memory.
― dan selzer, Friday, 7 October 2022 17:05 (one year ago) link
I've had almost the same opinions as you regarding that actor; they did too good a job making him an asshole on Girls and it's taken a few years to rectify. He was also in one season of Damages
― Vinnie, Saturday, 8 October 2022 00:58 (one year ago) link
same, his character was so convincingly awful in Girls i thought maybe i hated his face lol but i dig him so mich in Bear & Andor
