I've seen all the episodes as my kids watch. Their only comment after the first season was over was when does Mando come back on.

But go ahead and fanboy this Disney grift dumdass.

Go watch some Andy Griffith Show, grumpy Boomer. This isn't for you.

Disney grift? It's literally one of the best shows that came out in 2022 on any service.

Also, this show isn't for kids. Also doesn't appear it is for you either.

This certainly explains a few things.LMAO

Andy Griffith still better than anything D + has or ever will put out.

Why shouldn't a 16 and 14 yo not watch if they want? Some stupid Canadian rule?

Whats it explain dumbass stumper. Your post explains you are just as stupid as ever.

Anybody can watch anything, but very few teenagers are going to like a slow-burn political drama like this. It's effectively Michael Clayton in Star Wars form (which is not surprising considering it is made by the guy who wrote and directed Michael Clayton). Excellent show and unlike anything that has come before it in this universe.

You didn't hurt anyone's feelings. You're giving yourself way too much credit here. Like I said, go watch some titties and 'splosions.

I kind of forgot about this and binged the last five episodes last night. I must admit that I was a bit put off when he was arrested and thrown in prison initially. However, I ended up absolutely loving how they handled it. Can't say I like it more than Mandalorian, but it may be just as good; kind of like how I personally prefer Godfather over Godfather Part II, but when I watch Part II I have to admit that personal preference aside it's pretty much equal. The idea of a nuts and bolts Star Wars series minus any reference to the force or the Jedi being this good is really amazing. Story, acting and production values are top notch. Still a real head scratcher how EVERYTHING Star Wars related is vastly superior to the last six numbered movies.

I guess I can understand how it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it was definitely mine. As KCC said, it's Star Wars for grownups.

There were a couple of minor characters who were driving me nuts, because I knew I'd seen them in other things but couldn't quite remember what; the old guy from the prison sequence and the blonde resistance fighter. I noted that BL identified the blonde as the waif from GoT. My brain kept going to Amanda Plummer but obviously that was wrong. And the old guy was the doctor from Fifth Element, as well as one of the punks that Keaton's Batman roughs up in the first scene of the original '89 movie.

Anyway, well done. :clap: As I've said before, I wish this bunch would rescue Star Trek the same way they've saved Star Wars.

And that post credit scene - holy balls. To think that Andor personally worked on assembling small parts of the very device that ends up killing him.... that's some seriously twisted shit.

You seem very butt hurt:LOL:

Put that turdish troll on ignore. Clearly has a very small penis and needs to pee on things others enjoy despite zero knowledge of the subject at hand.

It's just weird to go into a thread to tell everyone the thing the thread is about sucks.


Like, I didn't enjoy Sex Life of College Girls and frankly I found the title misleading.

You don't see me in that thread, wherever it exists, telling people that once Mindy Kaling lost weight and got plastic surgery she stopped being able to tell jokes.

:spock:


Why shouldn't people be posting negatively about movies/shows/music they didn't like? Is this forum supposed to be just a bunch of people shilling?

Because the dumbass didn't even watch the show.

Boomers: America’s Sorriest Generation.

People who dish it out on here very rarely can take it.

This sub forum offers some things of value, but the ridiculously over-positive reviews of most things is definitely not one of them. And I'm not saying that's the case here, but jumping on someone with the word choice that was made seemed to require some push back and questioning.

Offering criticism is a pretty far cry from swinging on through saying still watching this garbo, losers???

I wouldn't call that productive conversation.

What's wrong with tities and splosions? Maybe your more into hairy butts and dangling balls.

Tits and explosions couldn't have helped Star Bores Andor.

A Raiders fan is synonymous with small penis.

Cry more youngster life gonna get a lot harder. Soon you will really have something to cry about.

What generation lies about going to Belize with some girl pulled off google images?

Must be the Crave Johnson generation.

Seen them all dumb ass I guess Raider fans never learned to read. Go figure.

When I think I show sucks, I might say it sucks once and stop watching. What I won't do is come back and repeatedly troll a thread full of people who actually enjoy the show. Seems like there's a bit of a difference there.

Still ignoring that dipshit said he didn't even actually watch the show?

Expect no less from you. You often ignore facts that contradict your beliefs.

You seem to lack perception. Or...you're just stupid. Are you the guy who was claiming that the Earth is egg shaped a while back?

That would be unsurprising.

I'm pushing 50 you moron

Put that reerun on ignore.

Pretty good watch.

All the LucasFilm execs that can influence decision making also. Nothing groundbreaking, but effectively articulates why it is good.

Your reading comprehension really needs work.

No, yours does. He stated early in his trolling he didn't watch the show.

50 going on 12.

It sounds like he'll be dead soon anyway

He stated that he hasn't liked the Disney star wars (and pointed to having seen it with his kids), and you jumped into something that I hadn't directly addressed in the first place (notice that I didn't respond to your first response at


http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showp...&postcount=256. Again, your comprehension is the issue here.

You're wasting time with this Lawrinsefader reading not important to those folks.

He wants a thread full of nothing but ooh's and ahh this shit is the greatest. Take one look at his trolling in the Missouri football lounge thread you will see what this pussy is all about.

I most likely outlive you Hollywood. Now run along and inhale a cloud of Fentanyl .

Isn't watching the show:

Angry boomer is angry.

Of all the subforum threads to have an old troll I didn't expect this one.



roasted me!

Season Two promises even more locations and interesting characters, introduced after a time jump that places the series right before the events of Rogue One. "What's amazing about dropping back in for this season is the time gaps that are going to be instituted to take you up the full five years before coming into Rogue One at the end," Soller revealed.

-snip-

Showrunner Tony Gilroy told The Wrap that we could expect Andor Season Two sometime in 2024. Until then, don't think Disney is pumping the breaks on Star Wars content hitting our screens. 2023 will see the release of The Mandalorian Season Three, The Bad Batch Season Two, Star Wars Visions Season Two, and the highly-anticipated, Rosario Dawson-led Ahsoka series. As always, as Star Wars's real-life cinematic universe expands, so does the galaxy, far, far away.

https://www.esquire.com/entertainmen...cast-episodes/


I'm looking forward to Mandalorian and the Ahsoka series.

What's funny is if the guy was a big Star Wars fan and found himself disappointed in the show then pointed out why, that would be understandable. I felt the same way and did the same thing in that Rings thread when Amazon shit the bed. But this guy is posting as much as Gochiefs in a Star Wars thread and he isn't even watching it. Sad boomer is sad and he wants you to be sad too.

LMAO

And I had no idea that was Yennifer from Witcher!

I love that they can't even find anything to rag about. So they rightly rag on the rest of Star Wars not being up to the standard

Actually that's not exactly what he said. He said "I've seen all the episodes as my kids watch." Which is curious wording, why not just say you watched it with your kids? I see a lot of stuff on TV that my kids are watching, but I'm not paying very close attention to it.

If I actively am watching a show with my kids I wouldn't say " I saw all the episodes while my kids watched" I would say "I watched that with my kids" The fact that he had to use 2 different words to describe how he & his children viewed the show tells me he wasn't actively watching.

This isn't the type of show that you can have on in the background & just watch the action sequences.

Ok this show was ****ing great because they went back to the story telling of Rogue One.

The Rebellion was Morally right but did MORALLY horrible things.

Late to the party, but I'm really enjoying this so far. I watched the first 5 episodes this weekend. I didn't even think it was that slow (the biggest criticism I heard.) I enjoyed Rogue One so it's probably not surprising since this strikes a similar tone. I'd certainly rate this way above Obi-Wan, which should be a wake up call to someone at Disney (but obviously won't be.)

You haven't even got to the parts that hit yet. Stick with it.

My buddy missed it so I'm re-watching it with him. Definitely recommend that. I missed a PILE of shit, little details and dialogue that weren't critical, but added to the story.

I guess what I'm saying is it's worth a rewatch.

It's really good IMO.

It makes me sad the obiwan came out before this because there are serious lessons learned in this series that could of helped them tell a more compelling story

I DEMAND A CAD BANE SERIES GODDAMMIT!!!

I haven't heard anything official, but a podcast I listen to absolutely loved it. LOVED IT (rightfully so), but they were complaining that not enough people were watching it.

So if this thing doesn't track well....you can bet there will be more Obi-Wan and less Andor. And much much much more sadness from Buehler445.

I'm hoping Andor has a strong performance during review season. Disney loves accolades, and they could decide to have their "popcorn Star Wars" and their "Star Wars for award season" (which would have felt ridiculous to type out 6 months ago).

Unfortunately, the latter part of that is why Andor might not get seriously considered. Andor getting nominated for Best Drama and Best Actor at the Critic Choice Awards might bode well for the awards shows that follow, though.

He such a ****ing killer actor

I'm not saying that it can't happen with Andor, but, just a reminder:


Disney's bleeding cash, and Iger's running out of rival companies he can buy to mask the decline. So don't count on too many pet/specialty projects getting long leashes, regardless of how many awards they earn.

This isn't the era of Hill Street Blues.

Finished episode 7 last night and something struck me. I don't know if this is accurate or not, but this is the first episode I think I've seen any non-humans. I didn't give it much thought previously but it suddenly felt very obvious to me.

1st scene of episode 1 has a female alien bartender, but she only has 1 line I think. Also in episode 1 there is a giant salamander looking thing that the black guy brings along as intimidation to try to get Andor to pay him whatever he owes.

Yes, correct. I remember that now. I wonder if they didn't have the budget for the typical Star Wars alien diversity? Or maybe they didn't want to bother.

After I watched the series and loved it, I made my wife sit down and watch it with me the second time. She loved it and said she wanted to watch more of Cassian. I said, well you know there is a movie that he's in, but you probably don't want to spoil this good feeling right now.

She insisted we watch it. She cried and yelled at me that I'm a jerk, and why would i ever suggest watching it.

So, my wife, who doesn't give a shit about anything Star Wars, loved this. And genuinely cried when she watched Rogue One. It's just a good damn series.

I just finished a rewatch also.

I've been absolutely amazed at how good it is. I was working while I watched some of the episodes and I obviously missed some little bits that really didn't matter, but added a lot of color and depth to the series. Like the part where Marva hurt herself trying to see if the tunnel is still there under the hotel so the rebels can get in. Throw away line, nothing nowhere, but on the rewatch wehn Bix said it I was like the Dicaprio Hollywood meme. ROFL

I was considering it, and I don't think Gilroy is a Star Wars fanatic. Some of the stuff I've watched some of it you can tell they're doing it BECAUSE it's Star Wars, and they focus on the Star Wars stuff and not the story or the filmography. Both Rogue One and Andor are ****ing TIGHT. No extemporaneous bullshit because Star Wars. He's telling the story that happens to be in the world of Star Wars.

Whatever, Gilroy rules.

Finished the other day. Incredible show. Really hoping they keep it going. It doesn't redeem all the other garbage they've made but it's nice to actually be excited about a SW production again.

The 3rd act of Rogue One is the best “Star Wars” ever put in film. Why didn’t you show that to her before now?

She's watched it before, she just didn't remember. It's one of those times where she says she'll watch a movie with me and sits at the end of the couch half paying attention while she scrolls through FB or tik tok. She just wasn't emotionally invested in it because it was Star Wars.

Best SW movie overall, IMO.

I know that. Couldnt get her to watch the new Star Wars stuff until Baby Yoda showed up.;)

Finally getting around to watching Andor.
So. Good. This is how you do Star Wars.

Buckle in and enjoy! It's a slow burn, but soooo worth it!

I binge-watched Eps 1-7 last night, 8-12 to be completed tonight. Excellent writing, direction, acting, and effects. Andor, IMO, is the best live action Star Wars content since Empire Strikes Back. (only reason to qulaify it to "live action" is the KOTOR and Jedi Knight games were phenomenal)

Its exactly what people have been asking for Star Wars to be for years.

How Disney keeps missing the ****ing point is beyond me.


BTW

SOLO was much better than most people admit, it just came out at a shit time and in between the RABID hate for the last three (Which made me appreciate the prequals)

This show is ****ing amazing. For a bit of inside baseball, Beau Willamon is on the writing staff. He adapted Homeland for American TV. That's like having Sean McVay as your offensive coordinator.

Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton) created it, writing the pilot and finale. His brother Dan Gilroy (Nightcrawler) split the other episodes with Beau. this just in: Great writers write great.

the direction, however, was the first thing that sucked me in. Just absolutely spectacular.

Not in my opinion. They blew it from the very first scene. They had a chance to open up with Han Solo being Han Solo and they skipped to him running away home instead. From there on it was a hodgepodge of bad storytelling decisions with decent effects and adequate actors slogging through a weak script. It could have and should have been much, much better.

That's pretty harsh. Personally I really liked Solo. It's certainly no Rogue One, but it's better than all of the shitty numbered movies made since the 80s, none of which I have the slightest desire to ever watch again. And as I've said before, I felt it came the closest to capturing the fun, swashbuckling style of the original '77 Star Wars.

Even The Empire Strikes Back would have been harshly received had it shown up on the heels of the dogshit that was The Last Jedi.


*no, I am not saying Solo is on par with TESB, I'm just saying.

Agreed. Solo got targeted almost exclusively because of the lingering hatred for Last Jedi.

Kind of reminds me of the reception The Postman received. It was a post-apocalyptic movie starring Kevin Kostner that came out after the odious Waterworld. While it wasn't a great movie, it certainly wasn't bad, but the critics blasted it and it bombed. They, and apparently most moviegoers, were still pissed about Waterworld. Wouldn't have mattered if it was Citizen Kane.

I know people say The Last Jedi is the most divisive Star Wars movie. But honestly, after Rise of Skywalker bombed, I think the grand majority of people you talk to argue that the movie was a disappointment (and it gets wrapped into the overall trilogy).

Solo, to me, is actually the most divisive SW movie. I thought it was great, but every person I talk to seems to have a different take on it.

The Postman is a decent movie. Only barely recognizable from the book the movie was made from. If you haven't read the book, I recommend it.

Solo got targeted due to the trash that was Last Jedi, and got the Obi Wan movie canceled.

Solo is a pretty good movie.

I think a lot of people let their hatred of Last Jedi color their view of Solo. They watched it expecting to hate it and made it so.
