One Year Later

So I finished rewatching the first season yesterday, and it was still as good as I remembered. Rewatching it makes the second season better because you realize how well they're continuing each character's story.

The episode starts with a great action scene to remind us once more that Andor is the best good-looking show on Disney Plus and has the best production value out of any show that has come out of this streaming service.

I still can't believe how good everything looks in this show. Every set looks practical and feels like a real place that characters are actually in.

The first episode of the second season does a great job of showing how each character is at this point from where we left off.

Bix still has PTSD from that awful torture she endured for days or even months, even after a year has passed, and I'm glad that the writers didn't forget about that and didn't just write it off. This is why the show is so good; actions have lasting consequences, and character development is here to stay.

They also do a great job of adding Krennic to the show with a pretty good explanation as to why he's here. The reason he's here actually makes sense and makes me excited for what's about to come.

The Ghorman scene reminds me of that scene in season 1 where the ISB is casually brainstorming about killing someone and making it look like an accident, and making up a story about it. But this time the scale is way up, and it's about a whole planet with multiple cities and thousands of citizens.

I thought Andor's plotline was good at the start, but became stagnant and predictable as it went on, and they maybe should've resolved it in the middle of the episode instead of stretching it to the end. But I guess it's all setting up to something bigger, and I have faith in the writing to turn this plotline into something amazing like the previous season.

Overall, it's a great season opener catching us up with each important character and setting up new plotlines. The only plotline I thought was repetitive throughout the episode and was predictable was Cassian's, but it wasn't that bad either. I'm sure the next episodes are gonna be even better.

I strongly encourage you all to watch the recap of the first season of Andor. It's been a long time since the last episodes aired on Disney+.

Because you will be given no time to catch a breath. I hardly knew anymore how much happened in the first season of Andor. It's great to see old characters - and also new ones. The eerie feeling you get when the intro appears. Great acting, great scenery, great music. Like in the previous season, there's so much happening - I can't and I won't describe any of it to stay at the no spoiler side of reviews. I just wish you all a great time finding your way back into Andor. The wait is over, and it definitely was worth it!

Strong Start to a new Season. Superior production, superior actors and superior writing compared to any other Star Wars Show (And most tv shows tbh)

Intense/action filled start leading into a strong episode setting up the story for Season 2.

Introducing new interesting characters and bringing back the incredible Ben Mendelsohn as Orson Krennick is very exciting. Diego Luna, Adria Arjona and the legend that is Stellan Skarsgård Are obviously also reprising their roles for Season 2.

I also have to say that I love that we Get 3 episodes every week, essentially working as a «new» movie every week.

We Are so lucky to have the incredible Tony Gilroy write/create this btw... Thank God for Tony Gilroy!

But, for Disney to take their 'best of all time' and kill it off after only two seasons is quite insane.

The production is very good, acting superb, direction and pacing quite wonderful. A truly compelling start to season 2.

The rag tag rebellion is painfully real, idiotic, childish in so many ways, just as it would be in many cases. Excellent stuff.

The opening scenes, also, prove the writers understand what it means to start something you might not survive in the long run, e.g. Rogue One.

Season One was super, a truly worthy beginning, a confirmation of Lucas' vision. I loved every second.

Flawed? Not. Exacting and reflecting the truth of Rebellion: Definitely.

After season one i was very excited for season two! It just felt good to actually be excited for something in the Star Wars universe! So far.. I am not disapointed!

The production and quality is still incredible! Every scene and setting looks amazing! It has that unique identity, thst puts It above just beeing empty background noise! Just like in season one, it helps create this world you just wanna immerse yourself in!

The tension and suspense was great too! I was on edge most of the time, fully invested as I felt The Empire breathing down my neck! Once again we get to see just how far The Empire is willing to go, to achieve there goal!

The action is explosive, well directed and heavy hitting whenever it is there!

As a Clone Wars fan, I even got a bit excited when a certain name was brought up!

So far, this season looks to be one amazing ride!
