Comment on 'Andor' Season 2 Debuts to Nielsen Viewership High With 721 Million Minutes
untorquer@lemmy.world 1 day agoI wasn’t saying it was the first. I was just saying that THIS back story, Andor + Rogue One, makes it good in a way that the OT stands worse off without. Andor especially with just how god damn well researched, written, cast, and acted it is. The rebellion is given body, history, and character instead of just existing because it has to because the empire exists. The Jedi’s story is improved because of the story of the non-superpowered people on which their quest is given merit and a foundation.
I’m not a big enough SW fan in general to spend my precious little reading time on SW comics and books. I’m sure there’s lots of merit in them, but not for me when there’s so much else to read in far more interesting universes.

Yeah, well, your first paragraph reads so impressed that I’m certain you haven’t read at least X-Wing books (all my favorite, Stackpole’s ones are sometimes too comfortable, Allston’s ones are sometimes cringe in technical and logical regards), the Thrawn trilogy (the part of the EU usually recommended first) and the Death Star (to compare the old and the new). I liked Andor, once again, and I would like it without Disney’s dark years, but those things were very good and deep too.
To each their own.
