 When it was announced Disney Plus was gonna have a new TV series based around the most boring character from Rogue One, I instantly thought, wow, is it possible to make something lame-er than the book of Boba Fett? If any show can do it, and or can. But then I made like a Jedi and forced myself to watch the first three episodes. And now I gift you my opinion. Let's begin. Some of you might have Disney Plus fatigue, I know I'm suffering from it, so a video like this is really nothing more than to encourage you to give this show a chance. Unfortunately, no, Goofy didn't show up at my house with a briefcase full of cash. Not that he could get it here in one piece anyway, as the guy's a clown. I just genuinely enjoyed this show. Subscribe for honesty. I also like that they gave us the first three episodes because here's what's been happening for me, as of late. I tried watching Miss Marvel. First episode had me on the hook. Second episode, a little worse, but not too shabby. Third episode completely gone. Lost me. I would have video out saying the show's worth watching after the first episode. If I had watched all three, I would have said don't waste your time. Because we didn't finish. The same applied to Moon Knight. So at least with Andorra, I have a little bit more information to go off of and I can say, hey, you know what, it's starting out great and it's staying consistently good. And the third episode was actually the best of the bunch. And as that third episode started to wind down, I found something very peculiar happening...internally. I was feeling things. I was feeling emotion. Something that's been missing in a lot of these MCU properties and in Star Wars properties outside of Mandalorian. That shows a treasure. As the title suggests, the show follows Cassian Andor, not to be confused with Andor. We're that lazy. We can't even come up with unique names. We have to nerf him from planets. I do stand by my opinion that Cassian is kind of a lame character. He's pretty boring. That doesn't mean his life is, though. That doesn't mean his struggles aren't real. And the show does a great job of really letting you connect with this character. And in another sense, it's almost refreshing that this character is different than your standard Han Solo or your Luke Skywalker or these other larger than life individuals. And that's how this show is from top to bottom. It's not like Star Wars properties you've seen before. It's intentionally slow. Not a ton of action. Haven't seen a saber yet. We do have a cute robot. That's, I think, Paramount for Star Wars? And another thing this show is doing that Kenobi kind of tried to do but failed for me is show what's going on from the perspective of the Empire. That stuff's great. That's some of my favorite stuff because we're getting up behind the scenes and how these guys operate. How they're really not that professional at all. There's a young rookie who's trying to make a name for himself. He's over his head. But he's following things by the book. He wants to be the best at his position. One of the sergeants in this outfit is played by Alex Ferns. He's the guy with the really funny voice from the Batman. I instantly recognized him. That voice is so fantastic. I love it. Love him in this. Mandalorian, specifically season one, was a very pretty show. Definitely had high production values and or I think might even surpass that. Beautiful looking TV show. Definitely budgets put into this. The lighting. Everything looks great. Music much like the performance is here. Very subdued in the background. You don't have that bombastic Star Wars theme song. There's nothing very intense going on. I would actually like if the music was a little bit stepped up going forward. I don't know if it's because the tone is more serious or because the tone is so somber. Maybe it's the dusters people are rocking, but I'm getting a Blade Runner vibe from this as well. And that's always a good thing. Again, we are only three episodes deep, but so far I got really no complaints, opportunities in this as well from Harry Potter. Anytime I can see a Potter family member, I'm all in even if it's a trashy one. A lot of good supporting characters coming and going throughout this. Last thing I will say, and this is just an all around observation, don't be fooled by runtimes on Disney Plus. I say this often, but the show will say it's 30 minutes. In Andorra's case, it's like 40, sometimes 45, but you can shave off like 10 minutes. There's like eight minutes dedicated to credits. You have the previously on. You have the intro title sequence, which is a slow reveal of the Andor logo. Very nice logo, but I mean, it takes like freaking 25 minutes to come up. I'm being a little bit over the top here. My point is, show's not as long as you think. You can get in and get out pretty quickly with this one. I would give it a chance. Honestly, this is coming from someone who had no interest. I like Rogue One a lot, but the character is just like, really? This is where we're going? But fantastic show. So do yourself a favor and check out Andor. The Star Wars prequel to Rogue One, which was a prequel to Star Wars Episode 4, 5, and 6, which were sequels to Episodes 1, 2, and 3 that came out later, so technically were considered prequels. And let's not forget that sequel trilogy, 7, 8, and 9. You know what? We can forget that. Hey, thanks for sticking around. If you haven't, maybe subscribe to the channel and like this video.
