Cassian Andor: [Points gun at Kravas] Tell me now! Tell me what to do! Let's hear it boss! Get up. Get him up. Get him up! Move!
Kravas: [Breathes shakily] He's not breathing.
Cassian Andor: No.
Kravas: Verlo! Verlo!
Cassian Andor: He's faking!
Kravas: He's not!
[Whimpers]
Kravas: You killed him.
[Guard gasping]
Kravas: You didn't mean it. He fell. We had a misunderstanding and... we'll go in together. We played hard in hitting and you didn't understand it. He tried to grab you, and... and he fell, and he hit his head. We'll go in together. We'll tell them what happened.

- ConnectionsFeatured in Disparu: Andor Review Episode 1 - Disney DESTROYS Star Wars (2022)
Fast paced, light on plot. Explosions, light sabres. Useless storm troopers, more explosions. Character development...nah don't need that. More explosions. New light sabre. Floating rocks. Callbacks callbacks callbacks.
With that In mind I set my expectations pretty low for Andor. But wow. This is completely different, in fact it's good, very good...
Andor sets the tone right out the gate. It's gritty and dark, it has a sense of desperation. This is achieved through the visuals but also through the very natural dialogue. (This is a massive step up for star wars) the characters in this show talk like real people. They seem to have real problems and motives. In terms of tone It sits somewhere between the original trilogy and bladerunner. The result of solid dialogue is that it grounds the show in a sense of realism. Real world, real characters, real consequences. This is a recipe for real tension! Which is great for fans. One of the pitfalls here though is we already know the main character survives. Which is difficult to work with as a director when your job is to put the audience on the edge of their seat. It will be interesting to see how they work with this.
In terms of story we get a basic introduction to a few of the characters. (New droid is pretty cool) Some will argue it's "boring" but that's not the case. What the sequel trilogy and many of the spin off shows lack in the extreme is proper character development. And that's what this show is building. It respects the audience's intelligence and it's taking it's time with a more mature approach. It shows a different side to the star wars universe. Something "Solo" touched on but was never fully realised.
Overall I'm very pleased to see them produce something with this level of care. The practical effects, the slick dialog and believable characters sure there are easter eggs mixed in there but it seems for once the characters and the story are front and centre.
It really is a massive step in the right direction. I look forward to more.
