Why are you morons discussing the possibility of this shite? It was first brought up to continue to show how stupid the last Jedi was.


And I’m liking the show, but damn it’s slow moving. 6 more episodes. You think they are waiting until the finale to execute this mission, geez.

The show is pretty much set up in a 3 episode story arc style. Obviously next episode has the mission.

Idk how anyone watched television shows. Nobody can handle build-up to anything anymore.

I am really loving this, even the pace is fine. When we first saw the Rebellion, it was fully formed with warships, generals, and even political leaders. But every movement has to start with a random group of people, each with their own selfish grudge, coming together for a cause greater than themselves. Andor is the story of how that happened. I’m giddy thinking of what kind of hardware and manpower the payroll from an entire Imperial sector can finance, transforming the rag tag terrorists into The Rebellion.

I prefer the slow burn and the character development to whatever the frick was going on with the Obi-Wan show.

It's like the people writing Obi-Wan said, 'Every episode needs to be on a different planet, I don't care how dumb the writing needs to be to get them there and out in 30 minutes'

Episode 6 was amazing!!!

It reminded me of the bank robbery in “Heat”.

That may me the best scene ever in the SW saga (all movies, shows, etc)

Really great episode this week. The tension was high throughout, and the escape was awesome.

It’s wild they did this episode in the middle of the season. I’ll be interested to see how they move the story forward.

I really enjoyed this episode, that heist was fantastic.

I had to go check that this wasn't the finale once it was over. I can't wait to see what happens next.

I'm just sitting here laughing after watching Episode 6. The gap in quality between this show and Obi-Wan/Bobba Fett/Mandalorian is just downright colossal.

Where the hell has this level of quality been? We get rushed garbage like Obi-Wan, which might very well be one of the worst shows I have ever seen, and then a few months later we get this. It's like a kid that has been failing every exam all semester suddenly pulls out an A+ on the final.

This is a damn solid show so far.

No kidding, this is the best product they have out out so far and it's not even close. Clearly the rogue one crew should be paid to make more

Just finished the episode. I'm curious to see where it goes on the back half, and I imagine Mon Mothma and a major rebellion plot line will be in full swing from here on out.

For all the people saying it’s too slow, I ask you to just slog through episodes 1 and 2 while you read TD and half pay attention. Because if you do, you will be rewarded in episodes 3-6 with some of the best Star Wars you’ll ever see. And they are doing it without gimmicks. There’s no baby Yoda, no one with the last name skywalker, and the story isn’t even set on tatooine. It is just really good storytelling.

I liked the episode, especially the idea of doing what was basically a bank heist in the Star Wars universe.

But one thing that kind of bothered me was the fact that some of the "rebels" were using AKs. At first I thought it would be an interesting idea to have the rebels having to resort to actual bullet fired weapons. Maybe it was what the indigenous people of this planet used or something? But no, once they started firing the AKs they were blasters. So I guess the props department forgot to buy some blaster looking guns, and had to use some AKs from another movie set to something. It was kind of distracting once I noticed it.

Most military weapons in Star Wars are just real guns with an extra tube built onto it or a scope removed, with a few extra bolts glued on or something.

The clone weapons are an exception, I believe they took the E-11 as a base for them at some point but was all digital.

They couldve dresses these up a little bit. But some of the sequel and Rogue One weapons are from AR/M-16 weapons when you look close enough.

That was pretty cool seeing the Senate chamber again.

Maybe, but they never stood out like these did in this show. Heck in this last episode when the fighting broke out, one of the female "rebels" was waving it around, and it really stood out that it was an AK. You didn't even have to look that closely to notice it. They didn't even try to dress them up on this show other than maybe painting them black.

Again, for a minute I thought it would be a kind of cool idea to see bullet firing guns being used by worlds with less technology. But no, they fired actually laser blasts. I get that they might need to use real looking gun props, but all I'm saying is at least take 15 minutes to dress them up a little bit so that they don't standout as an AK.
