@Nog: Is that a bad thing? There is a minimum, but they reveal the characters, their plan, and you feel all the tension. Or is it necessary, as in other TV series, that in one episode there should be a plan of action in 30 seconds, an invasion of some base, and at the end an escape with the death of nooname, who was introduced at the beginning of the episode?

Xs, but it's better to let Disney produce such series, not Bob Fet and Kenobi. Compared to them, Andor is almost a masterpiece in general (just like Rogue One is much better than the new ZV films).

@kobiii: as for the deaths of the nounames, how not to remember the "famous" Wade from the fourth episode of "Obi-Wan", who distinguished himself with absolutely nothing, but for some reason deserved a dramatic minute from the main characters.

@Nog: Action is not all that is important for the series. On the contrary, I am amazed at how well the creators were able to make every remark relevant to the character, revealing the world

the soldiers did not complete the task because they helped to move furniture in the commander's apartment. a captain who wants to be a prefect just for the sake of the title, although it is not materially reflected in anything. a woman from the headquarters (I didn't remember her name and rank), who in another universe would be the main character of a police series, who does her job incredibly cool, despite the stupid bosses. workers who are being released from security to watch the starfall

what difference does it make that it doesn't affect the outcome of the robbery? these are not Ocean's 11 friends. Andor, like Rogue-1, exists to reveal the universe, to show the insides of the empire and the resistance. those parts of everyday life that are not visible from the height of the Skywalkers' position

@cherik-cherik: I agree with you. I get great pleasure from those strokes with which the characters are drawn: Mon Mothma's husband has minimal screen time, but for a couple of lines the viewer is made to understand that he is a real asshole, who, it seems, also managed to turn his daughter against his mother. Or absolutely colorful maman Cyrilla, in whose view nepotism will save the world) everyone is endowed with some characteristic features, it's interesting to watch everyone

@TristisOris: In this case, you need to watch episodes 7-8-9. The reference links turned out.
It's a pity, of course, that the films came out completely failed.

@cherik-cherik: How exactly you packed everything. The idea was also born that in what other series was it so plausible: the team is preparing for penetration and working through everything to the smallest detail (how to march, how to hold a weapon to pass for their own, etc.). This is not an Obivan, where you can hide under a cape (and it will do!).
And all such little things are important, they make up a whole

@TristisOris: so that's the point, that you are not a STAR, but an Andor. Yes, it's in the universe of stars, but it's not them. This is a different series, with a different tone, atmosphere, pace of narration. Star Wars movies are about action and big events. But the ZV universe is not just about that. The ZV universe is just a setting in which there can be action films, and slow Andor, and adventure a la western (in the first season) Mandolorian

@Nog: At the same time, it flies faster than in other shows with active action) I hope this is not the last Disney series in this vein.

@Nog: do you want them to rush to work immediately after accepting a new member into the group? Will they explain all the details along the way? And believe me, this is not the most fucked-up thing that Disney+ filmed. Although there is no special action here, it is much better than Obi-Wan, or, if we take the Disney+ series as a whole, then nothing happens at all in Miss Marvel and the Hulk Woman except for the last series.

Another great series, flew by unnoticed, there was no desire to see how much was left. And in general, one of the best projects on SV in recent times.

Well, if there are more than one such series in a season, it is clear why there are 12 episodes. No progress of the plot, but the disclosure of the characters (but not all, probably not all of the rebel team will survive, and if they do not survive, then there is nothing to say about them). It's a little surprising that Disney has such a series with such episodes.

I plan to adopt the phrase with which Skin finished his story to Cassian about his brother:
"That's as close to an apology as you're gonna get"

Dray milk... You can live on it... You may question your existence after a few days, but... )))

(and how Andor's facial expression changes while Nemik gives it all away - it's also worth a lot)

@the_rollingstone: And to me his words that they are "too dependent on imperial technologies" seemed strange. The Empire has existed for only fifteen years, and before them there was a Republic for thousands of years. And in such a short time they managed to suppress the Republican legacy and get everyone hooked on their technology?

@vin: The Empire is a transformed old Republic. Perhaps the technology of the latter is also now considered imperial.

I really like the atmosphere and how different it is from other TV series. Cassian was also good in this series, I'm starting to feel him normally as a character, his cautious need to connect with people. I was impressed by the moment of recognition. But after a small disclosure of other rebels , thoughts appeared that not everyone would survive this case :(

Sure. Because you can foresee everything except the behavior of people. Therefore, the life of the garrison is also shown to us - that everything is there in time, too. Someone is missing somewhere or walking in the wrong place, someone went out to breathe and so on.

Nemik is so cool, I'll miss him when they kill him.
Mon Mothma's family, of course... There are no enemies with such close ones.
In general, yes, the series finally conquered me with these characters, now it's not so bad without action, it's fascinating and so.

Throughout the series, I caught myself thinking that if some Jedi appeared in the frame, it would be wild and inappropriate.
We are being told some other story. Yes, a good one, but will it be Star Wars?

У меня только один вопрос: кто такая Клея? В смысле она дочь Лютена или выкормыш? На просто самоходную соратницу не тянет, а общение у них, похоже, тесное. Вел похоже как будто дочь. Короче, вопросы только из серии Санта-Барбары пока =))

Я сначала сомневался чуть-чуть, даже скорее не смел надеяться, но после этой серии можно уже уверенно сказать что получилось очень хорошо. Дух вселенной чувствуется, а не желание продать новые фигурки и игрушки.

Как же круто они нагнетают, хоть на некоторых персонажах и надеты бронежилеты с надписью "приквел", но всё равно искренне переживаешь, что будет дальше. Чувствую, что в следующих сериях начнётся прям самое интересно. Гилрой, конечно, моё уважение🔥
