Watching the first season again in anticipation of the second, and it's every bit as great as it was back when it first was releasing. Doing it in three-episode batches, too. And I do feel it would have worked had that been how it released. First three episodes work as the start of a new chapter of Cassian's life. The three of the Aldhani heist show Cassian's resistance to rebelling. Then the aftermath of Aldhani and the imprisonment on Narkina 5 giving him the same will to fight, to show he means something to the Empire, as Maarva. The last three providing the culmination of the journey, from prison breakout to Ferrix riot.

I'm also noticing things I never did on that first watch. The subtleness of Cinta and Vel's affection, for one. Ghorman being brought up with Mon Mothma's introduction episode. Even noticing Luthen's spy in the ISB, which I completely missed when that was revealed first time around. I love how character focused this writing is, building relationships between characters to make the climax of these various events impactful in a way they wouldn't be if the series tried to rush through the plots it wanted to tell.

Seriously, I can't wait for the second season.

 

I wonder what arcs we would have gotten if they stuck with doing 5 seasons of Andor

 

Mutch more Corucant Political drama

 

at this point Raddus deserves his own show

 

Raddus should be the one to build all future stories around - he’s the chosen one.

 

As long as he doesn't encounter any traps, he's unstoppable.

 

Everyone needs a kryptonite and for Mon Kalamari - its traps.

 

He must be a great spy if you don’t notice him even after he’s outed!

I was just thinking how different Return of the Jedi would have been if Vader had accidentally added Ackbar to the “Operation Trap the Rebels Over Endor” group chat.

 

Can't wait for this show!

 

Just Heard rumours season 2 clocks in about 10 hours

 

An average of 50 minutes per episode. Me likey, if true.

 

Auralnauts dropped a country song about Star Wars as an April Fool’s joke, but it clarifies that we at least have two seasons of Andor

 

And…”Skeleton Crew is pretty darned good too.”

 

Apparently between 42 and 58 according to a YouTuber... About what I thought

 

These are the same guys that do synthwave remixes of the Disney Plus themes with fake 80’s intros. Well worth checking those out.

 

New teaser with lots of new footage. But I can only find it on Reddit...

 

I saw

Something new on Facebook shorts

 

That stealthy Tie Fighter hijacking scene will take up a whole episode I bet.

 

Any Skeleton Crew love is a good thing. Should have added a line about TCW making the PT tolerable.
