Daughter of Ferrix

The poker face of the Star Wars universe. This show was always playing the long game, I was going to fold, it had me fooled. It's a drama that kept getting better and better and this week we had a huge emotional gut punch, a heart wrenching performance from a droid, characters being captured by huge nets made of tripe, the pieces all coming together for the Empire snd the rebellion and a cheeky little space battle. Everything about this show improves week on week, setting up a 'well im not sure' for next week as the story will go on for 12 more episodes soon after. Can't wait for its hand to be played, I'm going all in.

I am really enjoying this series! It's hard to believe this is connected to the overarching Star Wars storyline. The spy craft can be treacherous, muddled and the end game is not always clear. These characters keep me coming back every week and I am really loving the world building these storytellers are crafting. I don't think I would recommend this series for kids, but if you're an adult who grew up with SW like I am there might be something here for you. I hope the production crew and writers can keep this show going, and I also hope that Lucasfilm keeps them on retainer for future SW material!

Andor got the brunt of the sword and it is really disheartening. Obi-Wan Kenobi and BOBF turned a lot of people off unfortunately.

Andor is the show that the adult side of every Star Wars fan yearned/yearns for. This is a real show with chalant characters; intelligent writing with a large dose of rationale. Everything makes sense. Nothing makes you scratch your head in confusion.

If you are reading this, and you HAVEN'T watched Andor yet, I urge you to check it out. Sure, it's slow, but I like to use the term focused. And that focus gives the action exponentially more weight when it comes. The payoff is potent.

This episode was no exception. Luthen is becoming one of my favorite characters in Star Wars, and it was cool to see more aliens. I also can't wait to see what happens with Mon Mothma, Cassian and Syril.

Can't wait for next week!

This show has built itself a really great scope of paranoia and intrigue. I think what is particularly satisfying is how so few of us saw this coming. It makes it such a treat. We've got back to the Empire as this terrifying force in the universe. It's a really great reminder to fans of what was so deftly constructed in the original trilogy and it's great to discover how Tony Gilroy truly understands the background landscape of those movies that we all love so dearly.

It's refreshing to be afraid of the Empire once again. The final shot is quite contemplative and has some symmetry with Rogue One.

11 episodes in and this series continues to deliver week after week, episode 11 Daughter of Ferrix was on one hand an emotional and thought provoking journey and the grief associated with loss and on the other the dilemma of a decision on whether or not the needs of the many are indeed more or less important than the needs of the few or in this case 31.

Gilroy has crafted an original, grounded and gritty Star Wars similar to The Mandalorin but distinctly different at the same time, it feels in some respects like a more adult story somehow far and away removed from Disney / Lucasfilm's most recent attempts. Andor stands head and shoulders above both Kenobi and The Book of Boba Fett and is certainly worth while watching and very deserving of a second season. Good Star Wars at last!
