K2 has a lot of dumb lines throughout. Donnie Yen is similar but gets less to do, instead of being a truly spiritual figure. Vader shows up and also has a bunch of dumb lines. He doesn’t need to be in the movie. Then there’s a whole ‘Rogue One’ call sign thing that somehow works. I mean if the Alliance was consistently ruthless they’d shoot down the crew to avoid a potential security breach, right? At this point it veers into the old dress up gag because it’s SW and I’m supposed to care they all die?

I dunno I just think that Andor works but it cuts all this stuff and replaces it with more focus on things that matter. The Clone Wars was the same… it came together when it stopped being about dumb PT characters and focused on random villains and soldiers. Anyway, it has a lot of time to gain traction since season two is a long way off. Time will tell.
