Andor: Announcement (2022)
A refreshing new direction for Star Wars
What a refreshing direction this show is going in. Star Wars for grown ups, and something that kids can look forward to enjoying when they're a bit older. The acting and writing in this series, and particularly in this episode, is a very high standard. My inner nerd would like to see more of the goofy tech/droids scenes like the kitchen chef-droids in Boba, but overall this really is a brilliant show. If someone would've said to me five years ago that Disney will be rolling out a bunch of Star Wars TV shows, I probably would've cringed, said it wouldn't work, and mumbled something about staying loyal to the movies. Dare I say it, I think these shows are better than any of the movies.

The future of Star Wars
Was pleasantly surprised at how good this series is. Everything Star Wars has tried and failed to do in the past. Love the slow paced storyline, interesting characters, edgy music, beautiful landscapes and subtle humour (droid kicking the animal out of the way while learning to drop a box, or Carl Weather and Yoda's 'do the hand thing' moment). Episodes 7 and 8, in my opinion, features better content than any of the new prequels and sequels. Maybe Rogue One comes close. Very excited for the future of Star Wars if this is how it unfolds. Well done to Waititi and Favreau for breathing new life into the franchise. I hope others agree!
