This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

So wait, is Andor still worth a watch? If the ending is broken like you describe, is it still satisfying to watch until the end?

[–] Wafzig@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

The ending is great, don't listen to the haters. The decision to stop after a second season wasn't some penny pinching assault on creativity. Even when the plan was 5 seasons, some actors said they wanted their characters to be done after 2. Diego Luna was on Kimmel recently talking about his lack of desire to stay comitted to 5 seasons of a show that takes so long to produce a single season.

So instead of the typical stuff where streamers string us along with short 6-7 episode seasons, we got 12 total episodes that basically played like 4 small movies.

Very much so. It's the most gritty Star Wars since Rogue One (unsurprisingly since it's the same story).

I went back to watching the Mandalorian after finishing Andor and it isn't as good in comparison, it's too Disneyfied (I maintain that the show was created for the express purpose of selling Baby Yoda merch).

The first season of Andor is some of the best TV I have ever watched. Its incredibly well done.

The second season is still good, just not great. Apparently there were originally supposed to be 5 seasons, and it kind of shows that they compacted it all into two. The highs of season 2 are on par with season 1, but its just not as consistently excellent.

The ending isn't a grand finale, but it can't be. The grand finale is Rogue One. I didn't have a problem with it because I always had RO in mind as the last, extra long episode.

1000% still worth a watch. Easily the best Star Wars content to have come out in the Disney era by a mile.

The show is in the form of 4 3-episode arcs per season. So there's a lot of good show to enjoy. Just don't expect it to stick the landing.

Like, by s02e10, I was convinced I'd be throwing on Rogue One right after. And then I got to end and was not feeling it.
