There are a couple of scenes I can think of that make the lower points in the rest of the series more than worth it IMO.
But yes, Andor actually surprised me. Some people say you need to give it a couple episodes to really get the hooks in; the first 3 episodes are one narrative arc, so it feels kind of like a film if you binge them, and then it all comes together.
Obi-Wan does have those “scratch the itch but not exceptional” vibes so far. Which is good enough.
Andor is definitely next on the list, and I’ll give it some time to ramp up.
Something kind of amuses me. I’ve never been a really big Star Wars fan, but somehow, something to do with that has made it easy for me to enjoy most of the Star Wars releases that have come out. The new main entries into the movie series I have enjoyed a lot.
While I haven't watched any of the TV shows except for Kenobi, I did get round to finally watching Tales of Jedi.
The Ashoka episodes were okay, but nothing special. I did enjoy the Dooku focused episodes, because I've always seen him as a wasted character that could have had so such depth if he hadn't been reduced to a one-note villain.
Not groundbreaking, but worth a watch if you're a big Star Wars enjoyer.
I have the great and magical power to kill any thread I wish, merely by commenting. Do you have such power?
I am a big time Starwars fan. I have enjoyed them all, The Mandalorian, Obi Wan, The Book of Fett, and Tales of the Jedi. I am currently enjoying the new season of The Mandalorian, it is pretty good so far.I have watched most of the shows except for Andor.
I have seen first two seasons of Mandalorian (veers between strong and some slight dragging, but also the baby ensures one keeps watching), Bobba Fett (a little underwhelming by the end) and Obi-Wan (fine but also felt afterwards any real point of watching it). I'll less a Star Wars fan then I am a Trek or a Marvel fan so that may skew it from my end
I have been watching Ahsoka. It has been pretty good so far, I have really been enjoying the new villains Baylon Skoll & Grand Admiral Thrawn. Excellent job by both actors.And there are cameos of Hayden Christiansen/Anakin/Vader. A solid entry into the cannon timeline of Starwars history.
