Absolute cum stain of a film, ruined an already brutally stupid premise set up by TFA. Eat my whole ass hexbear, I’m not going to hitch my ride to this shit because it tripped half way into making a good point with some vaguely sucdem rhetoric.
Just trash all around, its sequel was king trash only because this bullshit laid the groundwork for trash. A fucking structural engineer had to design a solid trash foundation for that steaming pile of shit ROS. Most boring movie I’ve seen in theaters. 3+ hours of diahrrea o stg if i see another post praising this movie I’m going to eat my shit. Shape the fuck up, this movie sucks.
I’m so fucking annoyed with star wars making it so difficult to get people to watch Andor.
The dirge in the last episode makes me feel emotions. Feels like real solidarity, real people, real pain I’ve shared before, and real outrage stemming from that pain.
They should just do what I did and pirate that shit lmao
Great show though; by far the best Star Wars-adjacent piece of media I’ve seen.
The problem is getting them to believe there’s good new Ster Wors worth watching.
I really don’t think you should be this upset over a Star Wars film
I really fucking should be, the fuck
You’ve convinced me
Congratulations on waking up from your coma.
counterpoint: the bit where they hyperdrive 9/11 the imperial fleet looked fuckin sick. like when Kirby flies the dragoon in Subspace Emissary (high point of both video games & cinema)
Is that the one where Luke skywalker sucks blue milk out of an alien cow udder and makes le good shit face at the camera?
yeh
Yeah that movie is bad.
i almost woke people up laughing at this post
The last Jedi was a good movie.
Six years of TLJ discourse :flattened-bernie:
Star Wars should’ve ended with Return of the Jedi. The entire franchise should’ve just been three movies and a bunch of novels and videogames.
Yeah shit was a fucking joke. No rules applied to anything. Honestly some truly embarrassing nonsense.
The shit surrounding Luke had the potential to be a good movie if they committed to it. Instead it was a bunch of hash.
Somehow the next one was worse though lol. By now I have 100% checked out of Star Wars and Marvel. I came back for Andor which was dope af, someone finally did what I’ve been waiting for someone to do, but I’m back to not giving a fuck until Andor season 2.
the prequels had a coherent vision through Lucas. He had an inkling of what story can and should be told, and on paper it had all the ingredients of a good film series. He just could not deliver. In contrast, the Disney sequels were likely written and directed by hacks who only know how to make films but not stories.
It came out six years ago. Who cares.
Laura Dern isn’t Asian.
Even hotter take: Andor was okay in theory but filled me with such intense Capitalist Realism that I struggled to enjoy it (probably a me thing, but still)
idk if I’m reading this correctly but the themes of the show work in tandem with the meta knowledge that they do manage to overthrow the empire in the end, like it’s a foregone conclusion that the Capitalism Ain’t Real
their struggles are overwhelming and seem pointless, and Andor and so many others don’t live to see the fruit of their efforts, but it’s a in-universe examination of why these people fought despite that, with us knowing that they were all important even if they didn’t at the time
the intended angle isn’t “imagine even trying, the empire will never fall and all of the idealists get owned”, it’s more like “yeah even the relatively small act of throwing a brick at a stormtrooper during an IRA funeral was vital to the destruction of the death star and by extension the empire”
It wasn’t “good”, it’s blockbuster slop. I didn’t mind some of its ideas though, trying to take Star Wars away from “hey everything important that happens in this galaxy with a trillion trillion beings living in it revolves around this one family”. And then the 3rd sequel shat on that from a great height lol.
There was some cool looking stuff. The hoth remix with the red salt was cool. When the admiral blows up the whole fleet is cool. The lightsaber blowing up. I even thought the sequence where Luke “comes back” was kinda dope. However it also had some terrible action stuff like the horse race scene or whatever. And the plot was a contrived afterthought.
all that being said the sequels taken as a whole are a disgrace and this makes up a third of that disgrace so it’s hard to say it’s good, lol. It’s better than RoS by an order of magnitude, but that is literally one of the worst films I’ve ever seen.

That’s BECAUSE OF THIS HUNK OF SHIT.
I really don’t think so lol. The first five minutes of RoS is all the characters saying “hey the last movie didn’t happen, palpatine’s back, time to go on a quest for the 7 maguffins”. It’s not like JJ followed up any of the stuff TLJ was railroading the plot towards.
I enjoyed it, but episode 9 literally killed any remaining spark of joy I got from star wars to the point that I gave up completely on shows, games, or movies immediately after leaving the cinema
