Andor (2022)★ 8.5/10

Peak. This is what Star Wars should strive to be.

Episodes 6, 10, and 12 are truly outstanding, surpassing the average quality of the "Star Wars" series in my opinion. The grand scenes are meticulously designed, blending passion and romance, allowing the audience to overlook the slow build-up and fully immerse themselves in the preceding episodes. This show is arguably the best in handling ensemble drama among the current "Star Wars" spin-offs. It successfully brings depth and possibilities to all the main characters.

This show is a delightful surprise. The script is exceptionally well-written, effectively portraying the mindset and motivations of characters from different social classes. Characters like Andor, who may be considered insignificant, adds depth to the narrative. However, depicting Andor's journey towards resistance would have been more impactful, as he seems like someone who's an underdog within any societal system. Overall, the story is complex yet cohesive, and each character feels well-rounded.

Personally, I find the entertainment value of this show to be much lower than that of "The Mandalorian”. The first three episodes really drag on, and from a narrative perspective, I don't see much personal charm or character development for the male protagonist. Additionally, while much time is spent developing the male antagonist, I'm not entirely clear on his overall significance to the story. The pacing of the fight scenes is decent, but the same "Star Wars" weapons just don't seem powerful enough.

Apart from a few climactic events, the pacing in other parts of the show is a bit slow, falling slightly below my expectations. However, the focus on the theme of resistance against imperial tyranny and the desire for freedom truly expands the scope of this epic series, which is highly commendable.

I'm really having a tough time getting into it... I've been trying so hard to enjoy this show, but none of the characters or relationships are really pulling me in. I catch myself just focusing on the planetary views and spaceship designs. Even watching some pilots slurping blue noodles is more interesting than the characters themselves.

It’s so incredible. Nobody's born a hero. This sci-fi spin-off delves into intricate political and everyday details, capturing the complexity and harshness of reality, and showcasing the voices of ordinary people in this war from personal angles. This low-key series totally surprised me by being so incredible. It's not just the best "Star Wars" series, but one of the top shows of the year.

No puedo decir que es el mejor título de Star Wars, pero entiendo porque lo llamarían así. Es de las pocas veces que la franquicia ha evolucionado y aborda a profundidad los temas más relevantes de la franquicia. Además, se da el lujo de ser técnicamente perfecta.

La mejor serie live action de toda la saga de Star Wars.

La segunda live action de SW en serie. Puede parecer un poco lenta pero es imperdible.

'Andor' es una serie increíble que se separa del género característico de Star Wars (ópera espacial) al plantear un thriller político, con drama y acción. Personajes profundos bien desarrollados, sin importar su tiempo en pantalla, y grandísimas actuaciones en las que todo el elenco destaca de gran manera. Un excelente guión, diálogos, dirección y construcción de la trama y desarrollo de las subtramas. La rebelión se construye en dos temporadas, a base de luchas y sacrificios, en una guerra de guerrillas, en conspiraciones y en movimientos en las narices del Imperio, mientras este investiga y escudriña, masacra y destruye, en busca de los rebeldes y de completar sus propios objetivos. La mejor serie de Star Wars, hasta la fecha.
