Comment on 'Andor' Season 2 Debuts to Nielsen Viewership High With 721 Million Minutes
cogman@lemmy.world 1 day agoAndor is a documentary about radicalization, resistance movements, and fascism set in the Star wars universe. It is VERY true to life and based on real revolutions.
It did an excellent job showcasing real politics and social dynamics. Tons of characters and they all had depth.
The first season is very good, the second season is, IMO, some of the best political drama ever produced. It’s also highly entertaining.

It was good at all levels - not only did the characters had real human depth as did the story, but it even had details like creating a Gorman language and an actual detailed Gorman fashion, so the Production quality matched the quality of the Script, Direction and Acting.
It’s unsurprising that some (maybe many) think this is the best Star Wars ever, at least adult Star Wars.
I saw Rogue One again just after the last episode of Season 2 and whilst they’re almost seamslessly linked, you can absolutelly notice the change of pace and story telling style from one to the other: you go from a story of people in the Rebellion to an Action rollercoaster with an almost symbolic bit of background story.
Mind you, both are a pleasure to watch in their own ways, though Rogue One is mainly “chewing gum for the brain” as entertainment goes whilst Andor is a far grander meal.

Dunno, the languages seemed AI-generated based on French and German, or something like that.
Would make them similar to Mando’a, so no complaints, not the first time in Star Wars.
But - for me it’s good because it resembles the old EU.
So if you have little acquaintance with the old EU and liked Andor - I recommend delving into it.
