With that attitude, we never would have gotten Andor.

I’m talking about Manny Jacinto’s character, who was there through the whole season.

@PunchingWood

That’s about right. It was mediocre. Which is to say, I had fun watching it with my kid. They introduced a solid villain. I hate to see that story dropped.

@dornad
It was one of the Green Men from the Isle of Faces.

Was it not an astounding setting when Arya was there?

@dornad I genuinely fear for Rhaenyra when her and Daemon are alone in a room together.

@dornad @Coffee_Addict He is very consistent with his disregard for his daughter’s emotional well being.

@TallonMetroid @Lyre The prequels were largely saved by the the Clone Wars animated series as well. I don’t see how that happens for the sequel trilogy.

@Klanky @setsneedtofeed

We won’t get something as good as Andor until we do. That is, you can’t plan on it. It will happen eventually, but Andor was a hard to match high water mark. (I also would have appreciated Acolyte more as a mystery.)

@Reach Lol, I sat through the whole thing a year ago, because I was haunted by it from my childhood. It is truly awful.

@Reach @downpunxx

Then I would name you a liar, Ser Reach!

Just kidding. You can like it all if you want. I love that modern Star Wars is basically a big buffet where you can take what you want and leave what you don’t want. If you want to gobble down everything on the buffet table, have at it.

@Emperor I actually like that line. I think it works for the character. In a movie filled with bad dialogue, I don’t understand why that is the line so many people bring up.

@Shyfer @kalpol

Serious agreement. A better director, and to be fair to Lucas, a director than wasn’t busy dealing with all the new special effect technology, and a bit of work on the script to sell Anakin’s fall to the dark side a bit better and we would have had a solid trilogy.

@Shyfer @NeptuneOrbit

I think Rogue One and Andor are better entry points for people who like grittier more socially realistic fantasy/sci-fi. If she likes BSG and GoT, she is far more likely to be into Andor than other Star Wars.

@pelletbucket @Oneeightnine

Tywin’s fragile ego is a bigger character flaw than his political savvy could ever compensate for. This is why he ends up eating a crossbow.

@paddirn @Blaze

I want to say it lacks grit, too smooth. It needs texture. The game trailer looked better.

@Oneeightnine
Probably Civilization or Crusader Kings at this point.

@Odo @Oneeightnine I had a pretty similar experience, tearing through the books between seasons 1 and 2. Reconciling Ian Glen’s charisma with the book version Mormont, creeping on a teenage girl, was hard too.
