@CodyFandom_ If it weren't for that magic moment, all those gay dreary rebels would have failed and died even quicker. Sad!
English
This is a very childish way to look a universe where a 19 year old teen obliterated a space station of a couple million people on it and celebrated with his friends.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Andor's grim portrayal of homicidal rebels was dumb. Screw Luthen, Saw Gerrera, and Andor himself. Star Wars is a fairy tale. The good guys are good. Han in ANH and Lando in ESB is as gray as they get (which is to say, not very.) To say that the ends justify the means misses the entire point of Anakin's fall.

@IMAO_ Don't worry, they wrenched the IP from the creator's hands and delivered a gay Disney trilogy just for all the whiny Gen X complainers. You can watch it on Disney+ right now!
English
I forgot how the special editions were the warning signs the prequels were not going to be good. I still don't understand the thinking of Greedo shooting first and especially the addition of the Jabba the Hutt scene to the first Star Wars, which made no sense against Jabba the Hutt's later characterization. It's like George Lucas just thought it was nifty to finally finish that scene but didn't care that it no longer made any sense in the scope of the trilogy.

@ct_girlie "my bland gray Netflix show is better than your bland gray Netflix show!"

already seeing lots of complaints about tmag being nothing like andor. first off, no shit. second, why does that always have to be such a bad thing? why has this fandom become so incapable of letting any other story escape the shadow of andor? it's weird. and really annoying.
English
@hercAICN @griffschiller Yet that Clone Wars movie is much better than the two movies that gay hack critics put on top of this list
English
@griffschiller The Mandalorian And Grogu is Dave Filoni’s second movie.
His first, 2008’s The Clone Wars, was the lowest-grossing and most critically-reviled motion picture in Star Wars history.
English
THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU is...fine? An inoffensive, technically impressive spectacle that's kinda a snooze fest. Very much structured like an abridged season of the tv show which unfortunately plays like watching the cutscenes of a Star Wars video game instead of playing one. The expansion of the canvas unfortunately exposes the weaknesses in the writing and lack of emotional connection I've felt for much of the series. Favreau has the touch...if only someone else wrote the script.
That being said, it's a nice return to the pulpiness and simplicity of the first two seasons. Ludwig is working overtime to deliver the goods. If you love the show, I'm sure you'll have fun.

@Darren_Mooney True, but I also think it has the potential to play less like a Star War and more like all these very kid-friendly near-or-actual-billion-dollar grossers we've been seeing lately, like Minecraft and Lilo and Stich and whatnot.
English
I will say, in conversations with casual movie-goers, every time I have brought up the “Star Wars” movie that is opening next week by title, the response has been, “Isn’t that a Disney+ show?”
bailey@baileylikemovie
Crazy how the first Star Wars movie in 7 years comes out next week and nobody gives a fuck

@BalderdashianLA @vikare06 only retarded commies pretend to like those "characters"
Bronx, NY 🇺🇸 English
@vikare06 Some might argue that likable, relatable characters you really care about like Rey, Finn and Poe--something the prequel trilogy completely lacked--also has something to do with the existence of cinema.
English
Roughly 20 years passed between the original trilogy and TPM and this truly felt like watching something completely new. Whatever criticism you make of Lucas or the prequel trilogy you cannot deny that he really put effort and succeeded at showing you something truly new and different.
Roughly 20 years passed between TPM and Disney's Star Wars and nothing they made ever felt like watching something new, nor it ever felt like they have this intention.
It might not be evident but the existence of cinema is thanks to people like Lucas

スターウォーズ ファントム・メナスのバトルドロイドが出てくるシーンめちゃくちゃ好きなんだよね
English
@F1R3Commando @HowlingCalvin0 @PalmyrPar Droids cost money, which the Empire has. Slaves are cheaper. R2 and 3PO are, according to Luke, able to do the season's work on the Lars farm themselves. Autopilot is ubiquitous but unable to do precise maneuvers.
English
@garnierfructis_ @HowlingCalvin0 @PalmyrPar Droid use in Star wars is VERY inconsistent
Why do we have human pilots? Why does Luke have chores on his uncle's farm instead of a legion of droids? Why does anyone work? Why do slaves exist?
The slave underclass status of droids never being explored is part of the series
English
I think Andor is the best Star Wars can get without Lucas. You’re not going to get the unique genius of the original auteur, and trying to recreate it has been a ridiculous disaster. The best you can do is this sort of grim, new wave interpretation of an existing world that’s good as its own thing.

@fandompulse Star Wars has always been bland gray Netflix shows about raping illegal immigrants, Di$ney DNC programming has nothing to do with it.
English
D&D Enthusiast Kevin Lamb calls out Star Wars: Andor for having the wrong tone:
"I don't know who needs to hear this, but Andor's grim portrayal of homicidal rebels was dumb. Screw Luthen, Saw Gerrera, and Andor himself. Star Wars is a fairy tale. The good guys are good.

Is he right about this show?
English
@F1R3Commando @HowlingCalvin0 @PalmyrPar Why cant they use droids? I thought it was Star Wars. Why can't the evil Empire just enslave as many workers as are needed? I thought it was Star Wars.
English
@garnierfructis_ @HowlingCalvin0 @PalmyrPar They were there illegally because they moved there illegally in an empire that doesn't allow free movement. It doesn't fit the modern narratives about illegal immigration because it's not the same situation as economic migrants illegally in another country to make a quick buck
English
@HowlingCalvin0 @F1R3Commando @PalmyrPar not stupid enough to pretend a Disney Iger Netflix show is Star Wars
English
English
@F1R3Commando @HowlingCalvin0 @PalmyrPar As "illegal immigrants?" I was under the impression the Galactic Empire enslaved worlds and species to work for them? instead of worrying about there being too many farmers working to feed the population of Coruscant? But that doesn't fit "modern narratives" about immigration
English
@garnierfructis_ @HowlingCalvin0 @PalmyrPar That's not even close to the first time we've seen squishies working bullshit jobs in the star wars universe
English
@F1R3Commando @HowlingCalvin0 @PalmyrPar The Imperial officer makes a big evil speech about it before he attempts to rape our Rebel hero girl, saying that the planet is short on labor and that the Empire allows illegal labor to work on the planet because it's a Netflix show and they forgot about droids and slaves.
English
@garnierfructis_ @HowlingCalvin0 @PalmyrPar Iirc they are mostly working as mechanics and technicians not as literal sharecroppers

English
@garnierfructis_ @HowlingCalvin0 @PalmyrPar They didn't get permission to move, mostly because half of them are indeed rebels or criminals
Ergo they are there illegally and are getting paid under the table
They're both
English
@HowlingCalvin0 @F1R3Commando @PalmyrPar The core drama of Andor S2E2 revolves around the Empire searching farms for "illegals" and checking their "visas," though our "heroes" are rebels posing as those "illegals." The reasoning presented in the show is illegal labor, which is impossible in Star Wars, because of droids.
English
English
@F1R3Commando @HowlingCalvin0 @PalmyrPar so they're Rebel terrorists on the run from the law, not illegal immigrant sharecroppers as the show portrays.
English
@garnierfructis_ @HowlingCalvin0 @PalmyrPar A restriction of movement between internal states (or in this case planets) to control the population and stamp down on rebellion is pretty common in authoritarian states, the soviets famously did it
They're from a planet that recently rebelled, the empire wants to keep tabs
