I have the commercials version of Paramount+, and as long as I'm using a browser to watch, uBlock Origin nukes them. But it does restrict me to using the browser, leaving mobile devices etc out.

Hmmmmmmm

Yeah i got the premium on Paramount + too do do away with commercials plus get showtime as well.

Let's just say that given the themes explored in season 1 that season 2 is dropping in during uhhh interesting times.  

Nemek's speech is upsettingly salient. It makes me sad to see surlyites supporting our real-world PORD.

"It's so confusing isn't it? So much going on, so much to say, and all of it happening so quickly. The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it and that is the real trick of the imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind forty atrocities than a single incident."

Too bad media literacy is dead.

There's a Mando and Grogu moving coming out in May 2026. Is the show continuing after that is anyone's guess. Ahsoka is getting a 2nd season. That's probably it for Star Wars TV for a while. Tony Gilroy mentioned that there would be no Andor without the Mandalorian and Grogu and how Kathleen Kennedy and Bob Iger both protected Andor the entire time it's been in production. Pretty obvious when you see Andor cost more than any other Star Wars movie. So let's enjoy it while we can. There won't be another one in today's financial climate and clamping down of budgets.

so the show that last aired 2 years ago has a movie coming out in 13 months? sweet.

The movie was in lieu of a new season, I believe

Star Wars can be done after this as far as I’m concerned. This is as good as it gets. There won’t be anything better than Andor. I hope I’m wrong but I just don’t see how anything could be bette than this has been.

Correct. I believe Iger wanted it to be a movie instead of another season like he did with Moana 2. I'd imagine the strikes played a hand in that as well. 

It maybe a good move.  Another Mando season probably wouldn’t move the needle much on new or returning subs since those fans probanly subscribe year round, but if it makes a few hundred million in theaters from Mando fans, it pays for itself before it hits D+.

It's really not hard - stop putting fucking space wizards in everything.

You seriously have 3 intergalatic civil wars across 9 films. There isn't a need to focus solely on the mythos of the galaxy. Of the recent stuff, their best properties kind of focused less on the mythos of a Galaxy Far Far Away and more about the grit. Andor - duh. But look at the Mandalorian, their best stuff is when they focus less on Mandalore and really focus on Din Djarin doing his bounty hunter stuff and fighting the empire.

I feel like they throw Jedi in and the vocal fans aren't satisfied. Too much this or too much that, girl jedis are icky! This guy is not Jedi enough! Etc. It just seems to get them in the weeds.

I have been asking myself this. I think I’m done soon. 

I mean I can see value in the ESPN+ bundle but why do I have to get Hulu too?

I’m on “The Axe Forgets” now. I just keep thinking this can’t be as good as I remember from my last rewatch, but it is! It is absolute perfection!

10 Ways that Disney could Ruin Andor for Everyone

 

  • Introduce a new kid-friendly character who only says "Coogoo Gaga!" in every episode.

  • Have no overarching plan for multi-episode storylines

    • Episode that undermines everything the Rebellion stands for to deconstruct standard tropes

    • Reel back from 2a by going too far, nothing but fan-service

  • Replace standard bad Star Wars writing with Even Worse Star Wars writing; no character behavior makes sense other than "because the plot requires them to do this now"

  • Try to work Harrison Ford in as Solo somehow, even though he's 50 years too old for the role

    • Try to work Solo in with some actor who isn't Harrison Ford

    • CGI Young Harrison Ford

  • Expand the series by using time travel (The "Star Trek Discovery" approach)

  • The Empire Really Isn't So Bad Now! What's wrong with these Rebellion punks?

  • Special Musical Episode

  • And Now A Very Special Episode where Captain Antilles' best friend's son turns out to be addicted to Pog Collecting. Challenging and educational for the whole family!

  • Have Dave Filoni do that thing where the first several episodes are world building before things get good, but stop before he gets to the "things get good" part

  • Yuuzhan Vong Cameo

Didn't they already sort of do the time travel thing with Ahsoka and Rebels?

World between worlds is a completely different facet of Star Wars from what Andor has been exploring. I hope Andor keeps mysticism and the mytho-poetic on the shelf - I think they will. 

There's a nice added benefit that the show has a very definite ending and knows where it's going. I'm cautiously optimistic and 10000% looking forward to basically four feature length films in a row.

I saw this on Reddit too - some SW fans actually want it to be ruined so they can continue to just bash Disney/KK

I'm going with a blackout on my board. Maybe Syril lives because of course the little, bootlicking weasel would be the only one to survive.

I need to watch a recap, but did Syril flip? If not I can see him flipping to the rebellion. 

Syril is a true believer and wants to bone Dedra. He didn’t flip.

what even is the point of Hulu

There are shows on Hulu that aren't on Disney, thus we have to keep it for the wife.

Yeah, but not "We've run out of timeline so let's send them off to the distant past/future so we can keep the franchise going" levels. like Discovery.

Yeah, that was me.

I think the shut-ins on Reddit did not get the joke. Star Wars remains Serious Business.
