The Star Wars franchise has been rubbish… until now and Andor 11:28 - Oct 20 with 1711 viewsunstableblue

As a kid I obviously loved the original 3, although viewing again they were very much family action films, apart from some dark elements in Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Everything since has been rubbish, derivative or low quality. Rogue One had moments, but just starting rehashing. I gave Boba Fett and Kenobi a go, parts of the Disney + spin-offs. and they deteriorated into low budget and poor scripted dross.

But Andor is great, it’s everything Star Wars should have become. Looks great, brilliant acting, well scripted, dark, but ultimately it’s about a fascist regime and the growing resistance. By episode 6 and 7 it really goes into another gear.

Recommend.

Yes, very good. Binged it fairly quickly, when's the next season out?

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

It’s fantastic. Len Deighton/John le Carre/Graham Greene doing Star Wars.

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

Madge and I started watching the films is timeline order a while back. Enjoyed The Phantom Menace, Clones Wars and Revenge of The Sith.

Then we tried to watch Solo and we both got about 30 minutes into it and thought it was crap. Might give it a revisit and then on to the original trilogy when we get time.

Not seen any of the TV stuff yet.

Used to be a big deal when one was released.

Also loved the originals when I was a kid, had the books too and all that.

But now they seem to knock them out every five minutes, there's loads and I don't know where they've all come from.

I doubt I've seen half of them and there's some I'd not even heard of.

Don't fully agree with everything you have said as there are some quality star wars viewing to be seen outside of the original 3. Mandalorian was very good for example

There has been a lot of average stuff but as a keen Star Wars fan I am always keen to see the universe now expanding

Completely agree Andor has been brilliant. The first two episodes I wasn't sure but since the third I am hooked. Lots of potential storylines to explore, just hope they don't rush to the Rogue One timeline too quickly

Is there a definitive list anywhere for which the order the whole lot should be watched?

For the completely lost but reasonably interested.

Maybe I need to give it another go then as I stopped watching after the first two episodes, was of the impression it was the worst release of the Star Wars franchise thus far!

Funnily enough when it first came out I wasn't interested in it at all, looked like a Boba Fett rip off, without the cool jetpack. Ignored the first series but only when series two was close to coming out I gave it a go. (Even if just to find out who this fooking Baby Yoda character was). Similar to Andor didn't click straight away but since then it's got better and better. Series two is better, with the season finale being a great Star Wars moment (don't want to say too much)

Main (ie not ewoks films, or the Christmas special) Star Wars things ranked IMO. Doesn't include Andor as I've only just started it - very promising so far though.

Empire Strikes Back
A New Hope
Rogue One
Return of the Jedi
Mandolorian
Solo

The new ones were were well made, but ultimately pretty terrible story wise.

The prequels were laughably bady made/acted etc, but the actual storyline was decent. Just so hard to give the story credit though when the films were so utterly awful.

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

Andor improves as it goes along Dubster, the last two of the currently released block are strong… proper Empire fascism, politics and secret police
