hey guys i finish andor it is soo good the best thing that Disney made with star wars and it is the best sw show
👌👌
^ “Andor’s getting the FYC push in LA! Fun to see the billboards around.”
I hope it does well and wins some more awards. Good to se Disney/Lucasfilm back it more now than they did before Andor aired too. Like some people have mentioned on here, it is baffling why there isn’t more in the way of “Art Of” type books, “behind the scenes” videos, or Disney Galleries and documentaries.

“Andor star Diego Luna & creator Tony Gilroy tease what fans can expect in @andorofficial’s second season” - 5 minute video:
The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

I am so glad you enjoyed it. The next season seems far away, estimated for a release around Autumn 2024 but that was before the WGA strike, so I’ll be happily re-watching this a couple of times until then.
The Acolyte series too.

I’ve been riding with this franchise since I was 12 back in '77.
Andor was fantastic.
If I have to wait a few extra months for more of it with the same quality level I don’t care.
I’ve already done lotsa waiting for more SW stuff. Couplea months is nothing.
Treat the creatives equitably and make another great season. Take your time.
thanks guys lets expect that ashoka is good too

Difficult to say. Totally different showrunner, etc.
2 videos and an article I enjoyed about Andor, so I thought they may also interest some fans here.

How ‘Andor’ Broke Star Wars Rules to Reinvent Sci-Fi TV
Showrunner Tony Gilroy and his cast led by Diego Luna break down how they pulled off two of the Disney+ drama’s most gripping, trope-busting sequences.

^ I enjoyed watching those videos, I wasn’t sure about the Hayden and Diego one before seeing it, but glad I did.
The article was an engaging read too.

Both satisfying watch and reads, thanks Emre.
The https://twitter.com/newsandor fan account you recommended is a really useful resource for anything Andor related too.

I can’t see it anymore. I’m not actually on Twitter, I just bookmark some accounts I liked. Twitter’s recent changes to the settings means only people with accounts can see tweets, accounts or information.
I hope that changes soon, another platform takes Twitter’s place, or AndorNews and others find another new home.

Ah, that sucks. Hope that changes too.
Master Samwise dropped another “Andor/Kenobi” comparison video a couple of weeks back. Well worth watching if you haven’t yet seen it. And thanks again for highlighting his channel and those writing/direction comparison videos.
The Pitch Meeting videos too; the Mandalorian, Kenobi, and Fett videos. I found myself smiling and nodding along throughout.

I was surprised that Genevieve O’Reilly didn’t get nominated for an Emmy in Andor. I thought she was superb throughout, and hope to see her get a larger role, or link up with the other characters more, for Season 2:

“Don’t tell anyone… but when ‘Star Wars’ first came out, I didn’t know where it was going either. The trick is to pretend you’ve planned the whole thing out in advance. Throw in some father issues and references to other stories - let’s call them homages - and you’ve got a series.” - George Lucas
Genevieve O’Reilly is a MVP on Andor.
As much as I lover her work as that character I understand her not receiving the nod, the attention on this really grounds with Cassian, his associates and Ferrix.
I suspect that she and Kleya are going to have larger roles in Season 2.
One vlogger I follow has a theory that Kleya is a former handmaiden of Padme’s.
And they revisited for filming season 2 a location that was part of Naboo in the PT.

It would be pretty weird for the queen of Naboo to have a Chanrillian handmaid, not to mention a strange and unnecessary connection to a dead character who has little to do with this storyline (yes, I know, Padme’s a part of the initial meetings that lead to the secret pact to combat the Emperor, but she then dies shortly thereafter)
We don’t need another of those connections that offer nothing except shrinking the Star Wars universe even more.
Let people just be random people. Like it was originally in 1977. Luke being a nobody from nowhere is far more powerful than him being the lost son of space Goebbels.

She’s not even a nobody! She’s Mon Mothma’s cousin!

I think it is time for another watch of Andor. I do wonder, after season 2 drops next year, if writing like this will ever be seen in Star Wars again?:

So many great lines, moments, feelings, throughout.

I would expect this quality of writing never to show up again. 😔. They only hired Tony Gilroy because he mastered the Rogue One script…then they wanted him to helm the show about Andor. But it’s too good…looking at the writers for BOBF. Kenobi, Ahsoka and Mando…that’s what “they” want amd I’m sure we’re going to get WAY more of that…Andor will just be a diamond in the rough. 🤷♂️
Andor got nominated in 5 categories of The Saturn awards:
Best Science-Fiction TV Series
Best New Genre Television Series
Best Actor In A Television Series: Diego Luna
Best Supporting Actress In A Television Series: Genevieve O’Reilly
Best Guest Star In A Television Series: Andy Serkis
“Winners will be announced February 4, 2024”
https://deadline.com/2023/12/saturn-awards-nominations-list-movies-tv-1235654052
A little surprising that Stellan Skarsgård didn’t get nominated too? Maybe they can only have 1 nominee in each category?
Regardless, I hope Andor wins them all. And at the Emmys too in January.

Speculation because it’s fun:
When Luthen’s bolsheviks are inevitably split from Mon and Bail’s mensheviks, I think Mon will do so in part by leveraging religion as the basis of the Alliance.
We know that the younger generation of Chandrilans (esp on Coruscant) are more conservative than Vel and Mon’s generation, and the Empire is starting to stamp out local customs in the wake of Aldhani. Leida’s mystic tradwife fixation - as negatively as that is portrayed - is still a rebellion in this context (wouldn’t be exempt from PORD), and I think Mon will begin to take advantage of that. The Force and other fundamental mysticism could become a political tool for a religious [or more broadly, cultural] revolution against a coldly secular Empire; rebellion gaining favor and involvement from younger generations like the Chandrilan youth, even students (similar to Nemik) opposed to Imperial seculonationalist hegemony - sorta like the Iranian revolution.
“May The Force Be With You” becomes a common rebel refrain. A wider populace is definitely onboard by Rogue One, not just the convicts, criminals, or tragically displaced that we [mostly] started with in Andor.
Importantly, Mon Mothma’s vibes between BBY 5 and BBY 0+ are very different. If the old ways of Chandrila are the deal with the devil she makes in season 1, I think she will continue to make that deal as a political face of this rebellion. The frumpy modesty of her ROTJ look might now read as martyrdom in old Chandrila’s tradcatch ideology; she’s renouncing the materialism of an Imperial Senator, re-committed to the Old Ways.
My theory is that this will be a big source of the sectarian rebel tensions in the lead-up to the Alliance. Like I alluded to above, Luthen is basically a bolshevik accelerationist. Revolution on his terms is dirty, brutal, and spearheaded by a professional vanguard of gangsters and spies. Mon’s canonical call for Open Rebellion is the inevitable clash with that clandestine exclusivity, but I think what’s added to it with the development of a culture and religion rally, is that for once there might be a tangible, coherent ideology to the so-called “Alliance to Restore The Republic”, one that addresses what exactly makes The Empire more evil than the Old Republic.
It’s always been a fandom talking point that Palpatine’s Clone War Republic was already The Empire, but this route would clearly define “A Republic” as an intergalacticist aspiration, not just a misguided return to what failed before. The Force unifier as culture commonality, not just faith in Jedi or magical will. Empire dilutes and destroys heritage and identity, that’ll be the populist throughline of the rebellion, pre Death Star.
Andor’s already made a really solid examination of imperialistic genocide in real terms (displacement, culture loss / limit) and not just overt violence with everything that happens on Aldhani and Ferrix. My hope for season 2 is that those threads are picked up in a real way further, the pieces are all there.

Diego Luna Says the Second Season of ‘Andor’ is Almost Done Shooting on the Emmys Red Carpet
a 2 minute video at the Variety YouTube channel, taken from Diego being at the Emmys last night.
Andor didn’t win in the 8 Emmy nominations it received, but it was really pleasing to see a Star Wars series battle it out with some highest quality TV shows around.
I’m still a little surprised the actors didn’t get more recognition in the way nominations: Diego Luna, Stellan Skarsgard, Andy Serkis, Genevieve O’Reilly, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller and others were all up there in terms of quality with any of the others shows nominated. Maybe for Season 2? I hope so.
