#HonestTrailers
Cyril Karn is that character where you wonder "Why are you like this?" And then one breakfast talk with his mom later, you realize "Oh that's why."
Yes the Karn family situation was so good haha and it was a great mirror to the dynamic between Maarva and Cassian. Wonderful commentary on parenthood layered into a show about how peoples environment drives them to rebellion.
And that's why I think there's no way he and that Meero gal are going to hook up; can you imagine what would happen if those two WERE to meet? It'd be a question of who would kill whom.
RESPECT MY AUTHORITAHH!
The fact that even honest trailers couldn't roast this show means you know it's really freaking good
The only other thing that got that treatment was The Winter Soldier, I think.
The only real issue is it drags a bit. Especially the first 3 episodes could have probably been shortened to one or two.
Yea i mean the only thing they can really roast on is some of the episodes being slow and just spending a lot of time setting stuff up without much actually happening, but even those episodes honestly didnt feel long. The end credits always sneak up on you lol
@@greghannibal Nah removing any of the show would've made it worse imo.
It's what WE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN from star wars from DISNEY
A show so good, not even Honest Trailers has anything bad to say about it.
I was going to leave a like, but you’re at 66.

999th like.
Can we say his name? TONY GILROY. The writer of this masterpiece. So much love and appreciation yet his name is scarcely mentioned. Give the king his crown already.
Dan Gilroy, Stephen Schiff and Beau Willimon also made fantastic contributions
Gilroy also stopped production of Season 2 of Andor to stand with the workers in the writers strike. I’m a little bit disappointed, but it’s dwarfed by the pride I feel for the creator of a show with so much Marxist messaging to stand up for what he believes in. It’s a breath of fresh air in a world with so much corruption. You could call it… a spark…
@@breakingboundaries3950 Oh, he did? I was disappointed because I had heard otherwise. This is truly good news
@@breakingboundaries3950 He finished writing the scripts though!
@@breakingboundaries3950 I mean the way the security forces operated at the local level largely reminded me of China's fixation on GDP and how local leaders are incentivized to purely provide quiet, conformists report that tell the next level up what they want to hear, regardless of truth. And in most communist nations, unions are illegal. Its why mass strikes are so rare there. I found the messaging to be about the important of freedom and dignity for all, in general. I.e., against all authoritarianism and tyranny.
The prison break episode is one of the best things ever done in this entire franchise.
It's one of the best episodes of TV ever made.
i really like the heist ''arc''. The last episode of the heist had me glued to my chair and to the screen.
I cant.. I cant swim... What?! 😭😭😭
@@chipsfries5638 it really was. You were expecting stuff to go wrong the whole time. Only to do so in completly different ways of wrong.
Totally. I thought it was just gonna be another cliche prison break but it turned out to be one of best things I’ve seen :)
I really liked Rogue One because it was a solid war movie that happened to be set in the SW universe. Now Andor is a multi-layered, grown-up drama that happens to be set in the SW universe. I'm impressed they went that way.
Yeah. That's the best interpretive way to go. Way better to use creative freedom towards spinning out new character arcs, than just recycling well-known characters in vague, unsurprising, and downright boring ways (Boba, some of Obi Wan)
Because those protagonists are creative and they fight the status quo against the Empire, against mega corporations, and neoliberalism.
It made me more than ever want to see Gareth Edwards’ original cut which was said to more straight laced and even more war-centric before Disney made them reshoot it to add fan service and comedy.
Tony Gilroy happens to work in the SW universe
It’s not. It’s a boring sub par show with nothing one cares about, some ridiculous moments and by numbers scenes of talks. Meaningless boring characters and no relation to Star Wars.
“And a 3-episode prison-break sequence starring Andy Serkis, THAT IS SO F***ING GOOD-“ 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Best line. So much passion! And 100% truthful!
Absolutely worth at least 8 dollars. If anyone feels like Andor might be too boring, Episodes 8-10 are what I would sell the show on. Just get in, watch those three episodes, get out, and ask yourself if you wanna see more.
It honestly might be my sequence in all of star wars

@@Salem-1610 ONE WAY OUT!!!
I really like how Andor worked to show how and why the Empire was bad beyond just telling us the Empire is bad. The ISB was done very well too, loved seeing an enemy force that was competent. Like, yeah the ISB kinda loses in the end but not because they were stupid. Lastly it was nice seeing physical sets again, and how they embraced the 1970's sci-fi aesthetic. It really feels like you wouldn't be able to tell this was made 40+ years after if they added the correct video and sound filters.
the best part is they show us that the empire isn't some nebulous amorphous thing, the empire is *PEOPLE*, sometimes it's your neighbors. The easy thing is to get a job with a uniform with an imperial logo on it and sit in a cubicle and say "I don't talk about politics" whenever anyone mentions an atrocity. MOST people would do this.
I mean they tortured chick and killed billions of people by blowing up a planet in the first movie so I’ve had trouble understanding why people never felt they were evil. Andor is a great show though.
Plenty of real-world countries have tortured people and killed lots more. Perhaps they had good enough reasons, perhaps they didn't... People still work for those governments, and live in those countries and abide by their laws.
I have to admit, Stellan Skarsgård is amazing in everything he does, and this show was really an adult Star Wars. Well done.
The whole Skarsgård family is pretty impressive.
Love me some Boris
Was he good in Thor 2 though?
His children are awesome actors too
He's also in every franchise ever. Star wars, marvel, Dune, pirates, mamma Mia!, etc
He may be the third lead in Rogue One but Diego Luna is one of the strongest actors in any Starwars rendition, I'm just surprised Disney recognized this fact.
Third lead, maybe, but he was also the BEST thing about Rogue One (aside from the droid and the Vader scene) since the actual lead was a boring one dimensional character.
Who's second though? Krennic?
And then they went and cast Serkis and Skarsgard and again made him third best haha
I thought he was the second lead after jyn?
@@Will_ParkerAh come on it’s called Andor! Though I did think mon and skargård were on screen enough to be co leads. And amazing ones at that! God I love this show, it says a lot when I think it was the best show of the year!
I do love Ferrix's strong commitment to the percussive arts.
That scene where everyone was banging pieces of metal to distract the cops was where the show came to life for me.
@@alanpennie8013 And then at the very end OUR HAMMER LAD spartan kicking a tool of the fascist state off his damn tower to his untimely demise. Magical.
@@alanpennie8013 It's the strongest display of real culture in star wars yet. Ferrix is a complex world with a population that are proud to be of it. Its people have commitment to their community that is not often shown.
@@Blisterdude123 fun fact, he's the throat singing guy during Sardaukar ritual in Dune
@@edba1.037 Did not know that, top lad
Leia: "The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers." Andor series: "Let's watch it happen." ...Best Star Wars series ever and we haven't even wrapped things up in season 2 yet.
A show that was better than it had any right of being.
That's what I say about Rogue One.
@@biffyqueen wasn't a show
@@SmegulonPrime sure was
@@SmegulonPrime Well screen name checks out
@@d.leesheppard7607 rogue one was not a show
This show was everything I've always wanted Star Wars to be: rebellious, mature and compelling. Can't wait for Disney to get scared of being too original, drop the ball and end season two with a climactic lightsaber fight on Tatooine between Mace Windu and Darth Maul, wherein it is revealed that Cassian Andor is actually the child of Qui-Gon Jinn and Anakin's mom.
That is exactly the complex, original, creative, action packed idea. I hope Disney takes notes on this amazing plot for season two /s
Actually, S2 ends with Andor boarding his ship along K2-S0 going to the Ring of Kafrene
Please no
Why would you put this out into the world
ROFL
If you think about it, it makes sense that Andy Serkis is such a master of motion capture, he has amazing facial expressions, posture, voice, and understanding of characters that he has to bring to life. Which all translates to a damn good actor
Truth!
Reminds me of Brad Dourif (Wormtongue) and Robert Englund (Raymond Beaumont - Wishmaster). Both were excellent in what the script demanded of them. And Wishmaster is underrated
At the end of the episode before the prison break when Andor asks Kino how many guards was so hype. The way he asked before and Kino completely shut him down but then when they found out what The Empire did to entire level kino says "no more than 12". So good.
God, that had me yell out loud and excitement. Andor is genuinely a masterpiece.
*never more than 12
You could just read the internal conflict on his face so well.
LOVED that scene!!!
facts
This show was so far beyond the last few Disney+ Star Wars shows it's insane. So well put-together
You mean all other Disney+ shows.
You mean *any* Disney Star Wars, right? ;)
@@Theratron can you name any other “show” (not full movie) that comes close? Clone Wars had a lot of great moments, but like Wagner it was great moments and bad quarters of an hour.
Agreed
@@Justanotherconsumer when it comes to what Disney has done with Star Wars? No ;)
We always said, that if they hurt B2, we riot, what a satisfaction it was that characters on the show did just that.
And I loved how that guy brained imperials with Maarva’s brick
To quote Tony Gilroy B2 is essentially an old dog. Nuff said.
@@erakfishfishfish so finally she was part of the rebellion, killing Imperials
Ahahah yeah I said literally that myself. IF ANYONE DOES ANYTHING TO B THEN SO HELP ME SATAN...
After seeing this, not letting Cassian interact with Jabba before the end of Andor would be criminal. 😂
I had no idea Diego Luna is so obsessed with Jabba - it's kind of adorable 😆 Cassian better get to touch Jabba's belly, is all I'm saying.
And Cassian calling Jabba "Yabba" would be perfect.
@@BlueHooloovoo Yabba the 'Ut.
Well no he's saying Jabba but he has a dialect where he softens his J's.
@@sparco956 I think it’s because he’s mexican, the letter “j” works different in spanish.
man 2:02 was already a tear jerker. Cassian saying to Jyn that her father would have been proud of her but now we know that even Maarva and Clem would have be proud of their son 😭
*would have been
This was some excellent commentary on this show! Also, Diego's obsession with Jabba is super unexpected but hilarious haha.
Sorry but it’s Yabba lol and it truly is hilariously cute
Oh he was saying Jabba? I kept trying to figure out who yabba is and thought he meant Yoda lol
@@hkiller57 Yes, he's saying Jabba - it's just his accent. You can hear him say the "j" more distinctly at 5:10
I hope they let him touch Jabba and film his reaction.
Apparently it was a thing for an interview and he’s really frustrated by how much it sticks around.
The monologues delivered in this show were incredible.
Nemik's speech in particular gave me chills: There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.
Marvaa’s speech was beautiful
Calm. Kindness. Kinship. Love. I’ve given up all chance at inner peace. I’ve made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there’s only one conclusion, I’m damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they’ve set me on a path from which there is no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time I looked down there was no longer any ground beneath my feet. What is my sacrifice? I’m condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else’s future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see. And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude. So what do I sacrifice? Everything!
@@oldRighty1 I had to watch that scene multiple times it was so good and so well written!
I've never seen a show with so many incredible monologues. Even stoic Brasso's last line to Cassian on behalf of Maarva "Tell him I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong". This show stabbed me through the heart so many times I think I need a new one.
Still kills me that we had to watch a droid go thru the five stages of grief ;.;
I know, man! I wanted to hug him so bad, and tell him it was going to be okay.🥺
Mon Motha’s totally relatable problem of spending way too much money on Star Wars had me DYING. My Black series and Lightsaber hilt collections were laughing, too.
I've got to admit that was a good Star Wars joke.
Frickin loved Mon Mothma. The way they fleshed her out was just so believable and inspiring.
She's horribly cold and pragmatic at points, which works. She's one of the good guys, but she isn't NICE. (accusing her husband of gambling JUST to cover up the fact she spent all that money, even though she knows he didn't. Setting her daughter up with a mobster's son....)
@@BlackLiger788 They have to make sacrifices, and this nails it. Also, nobody says she has to be good.
@@BlackLiger788 Luthen and Andor would kill someone if they were being an inconvenience. Everyone in the show has flaws and that’s why it’s so good
@@BlackLiger788 Man Mothma (not my joke, but hilarious) kinda had it coming.
She’s been awesome
“If you saw New Hope in theaters, you’re 50. It’s time.” This feels like a personal attack. 😂
I was 5. A New Hope was the first movie I ever saw in a theater...or probably ever, frankly.
Raises hand.
I feel seen.
I was 12. I'm 56 going on 57. This is spot-on.
@@CanadaMatt I consider it my first memory, since it has a date stamp on it.
3:55 for those that missed the reference, Stalin and a group of other Bolshiviks robbed bank(s) when the party needed money to fund their revolution.
You know the show/movie is good when Honest Trailer won't make fun of one single character or plotline.
HISTORIC
I mean they slightly did about the isb guy crush on woman imp officer but overall this is the first honest trailers that wasn't 100% comedy
Agree it’s perfection
@@swagswagsenate they didn't make fun of the people who create those characters, those characters were designed that way. That's what I mean though.
You could really tell this was the one show that nobody expected to be good, and thus Disney execs didn't meddle in it. I fear for Season 2, and its inevitable meddling.
I'm hoping that they already finished writing the script for season 2 before season 1 ended and they're just working on filming, editing and vfx.
@@HarmonicWave Studios can interfere with scripts, filming, editing and vfx if they are not satisfied with the output
Supposedly both seasons were written around the same time. Just gotta hope Disney doesn’t strongarm any changes or rewrites in.
@@SuperSpasticNinja though that usually depends on the relationship between the one behind the wheel and the one who own the car in the passenger seat
Tony Gilroy won't allow that, he'd walk away first.
Not the show we wanted, but the show we needed
You needed.
The show fans didn’t ask for, but the show we deserved
@@haydo-9916 Yep, but some people deserve more.
My favorite part is how they just brought the stark 70s feel of a new hope into a modern day series, the outfits, hair, locations, weapons, it all felt like Star Wars.
The fact that this Honest Trailer is the first I have ever seen that is constant startled praise, goes to show how absolutely exceptional this series is. Finally, Star Wars evolved for us 90s Star Wars novel fans that excels past its origins.
and how exceptionally bad the other disney's star wars contents are
Speaking of the 90's novels, the show's writing honestly feels a lot like Timothy Zahn's excellent work with it nuanced characters and portrayal of institutional politics.
This
@@gregorymaus6289 looks like I'm not alone in the feeling that Andor gives off Zahn's novel vibes and it's awesome
@@alfaseeds13 the bad batch was also really good
Aw. After "strong commitment to the percussive arts" I was hoping for that awesome shot of Brasso braining a trooper with Maarva's brick. Symbolic, comedic, and totally metal all at the same time.
should have been a shot with the band too
The empire shouldn't have brought guns to a dead old lady brick fight. Best meme of 2022.
Maarva's Ghost: "Hit Em Again!"
I know it is a bit of a footnote and probably nobody else cares, but for some reason I really like the fact that they have brought Genevieve O'Reilly who had played Mon Mothma in Revenge of the sith so many years back both in Andor and in Rogue one.
She is so good in this too. It helps that the script is really good, but she really nails the performance.
yep. there is something inspiring about an actor getting cast in a bit part that ended up on the Cutting room floor. Then 20 years later being offered the Chance to reprise the role and just nailing it so thoroughly it makes me wonder where she has been for the last 20 years. just goes to show how much unseen talent is out there.
Its surreal how good this show was. Im super glad we finally get the mature story we all wanted for years and years.
Andy Serkis absolutely *owned* this role. I never realized what a phenomenal actor he is. Now, I'm a huge fan!
Absolutely! His performance was in his eyes. He could say so much without talking.
He's great in Black Panther too.
@@ASChambers If you like that then you should see him in his Planet of the Apes movies.
@@mori1bund I have done. He was superb. It was nice to see him without cgi this time
@@thatoneguy466 I just love the cuttlefish exchange in Avengers 2. My favorite scene in that movie.
Finally watched the finale. Been avoiding spoilers since it dropped. Damned good show. They need to get more writers like this.
Agreed. Tony Gilroy needs a full time job at Lucas Films
Did the same. Worth the wait!!!
To me, everything about Andor is grand, the writing, the acting, the sound, the soundtrack, etc. Just a great show. And I love the structure of it all!
I studied some Russian history, just the course of the Russian empire and it's eventual fall to the Bolsheviks, and it was very interesting to feel themes of the Russian Revolution's struggle cross over with Andor. I think it's the heart of fiction to be able to take real experiences and feelings and make them seem grander and more exciting, while still preserving their underlying meaning, and Andor certainly delivered on it.
Tony Gilroy talks in his interviews how he actually studied history of various revolutions, including Bolsheviks. Finally someone who learned history not from the comic books.
There's also modern parallels with the riot cops
@@ilyaliThe Aldhani heist is very reminiscent of the storming of the Moncada barracks in the Cuban Revolution
It's every revolution, I feel like. It's Irish being killed in Bloody Sunday. It's American colonialists dunking tea in the Boston harbour. It's Sun Yat Sen being imprisoned, Gandhi organizing the Salt March... There are so many parallels in history that Andor resonates with.
This show is so freaking good. I hope Disney realizes that fact and understands that we, the fans, want more of this
The trick will be if they realize why it was good. Just knowing that it is good isn't sufficient, that can just lead them to trying to turn it into a cash cow. They have to see that relatable characters that actually face adversity that they struggle to overcome is what makes an interesting story.
Only some of the fans. Seems like there’s a sizable subset that would prefer a Michael Bay outing with more explosions and less of that annoying plot stuff.
Agreed
Sadly, by the time it aired, most fans had given up on DIsney SW so hardly any saw it!
@@cwam1701e I have to say, that was almost me. I didn't bother with Kenobi and only watched Andor because I saw good reviews from people I trust.
I had no idea about Diego’s obsession with ‘Yabba’ that’s hilarious. And actually now *I* want to feel Yabba Jabba too
This is the first official Star Wars content that made me consider dropping the OT down a slot in my "best Star Wars content" list. That's how good it is. It really feels like Star Wars written for people with brains capable of rational thinking instead of constant nostalgia bait and key-jangling at every corner. AND the show still has its cool spectacular moments ! See people ? We CAN have both.
The 'cousin' bit cracked me up way more than it should've 😂😂😂😂😂😂
someone watched "the bear"
this might be my favorite line ever in an honest trailer, "with a relatable problem. She spent way too much money on star wars!"
So true.
Followed by "The little droid that could"...
An honest trailer that doesn't rip into the source material for 5 minutes straight? A rare thing! Andor was so flipping good!
This also i think the first honest trailer that wasn't just 100% comedy.
I don’t think it has any flaws ;)
That’s when you know a show is good
Right on about Serkis too - he was mesmerizing in that role. He's always good.
Wait, there was source material?
“Respect my authoritah!” That part hella got me 😂😂😂
I’m having trouble getting into any other shows after Andor because none of them measure up. The writing is just unparalleled. I’ve always loved Star Wars, but Andor is on a whole other level!
⬆️⬆️⬆️ congratulations You won🎁
There are other great shows out there.But if you mean other Star Wars shows then yeah I get it.
The expanse is prolly up your alley then. Thats the only show in this genre that can measure up. Its pretty realistic.
The fact Andor is an interesting character AND an incredibly well acted one at that while also being one of the most boring characters in the show tells you how good the show is. Andy Serkis and Skarsgard in particular REALLY knocked it out of the park in this.
Most of the characters were boring
@@Stevie8654 go watch Kenobi and come back when your over 16
@@Stevie8654 Your definition of boring is different than mine. What kind of characters would you find interesting? Knights with impenetrable armors and gadgets, with magic kid sidekicks, or heroes with superpowers?
@@glendarjj3991 : who doesn't like my preshussssssss? Relax smeegol
@@kmjkmjkmj oh yeah I thought he was great, but when compared to Luthen or Kino he was a wooden plank. Which isn't a snub at Diego he's just cast alongside Stellan and Andy and that's just not a fair comparison haha
Andor is without a doubt the greatest Star Wars work in over a decade and a top 3 one of all time. Just absolutely amazing cinematography and direction. I’m one of those people who doesn’t like things that don’t have Jedi, sith or force stuff, like I don’t normally care about normal people in Star Wars but I couldn’t help but fall in love with these characters.
In over a decade?! I’d say it the best ever. Even better than the originals
Idk about over a decade... I really like star wars the clone wars. But it's definitely up there
@@darthnephilim nah episode 3 and clone wars still top but best since then.
@@rain9001 clone wars was a decade ago.
@@MariNate1016 it depends. I thought some episode came out in 2014. Apart from that, the last 4 episodes of Clone Wars season 7 in 2020 are peak
The best part about Rogue One was getting some depth to what life is actually like under the Empire, instead of just focusing on the monks and psychopaths at the very top. Andor wins by leaning into that aspect for the length of a series.
I love that this Honest Trailer struggles to actually make fun of anything, and most of the humor just comes from being surprised that it's so good (and Syril)
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an honest review with nothing but positive things to say and that’s a testament to what a miracle this show is
Absolutely flawless
Thought the same. This seemed more like a recap. Well done show.
The flaws are sooooo minor. Space AKs. Slower pace than expected. That’s it
@@TonyTylerDraws Not a thing wrong with space AKs. The real flaw is Cassian's childhood flashback/origin. It makes no sense and leaves too many questions unanswered. That's about it.
@@TonyTylerDraws The slower pace is a life-saver for this show.
The show is so good that you ask what's their favorite character, and some will say Dedra, others will say Mon Mothma, others Luthen, others Andor, others Kino. Very few will point they don´t like a character or plotline. Maybe Syril, but just because his arc is incomplete in the first season (but the way it ended, surely there will be a purpose on season 2)
He’s not my absolute favourite, but I’m so intrigued by where Syril is going in terms of his character. I also love how his poisonous relationship with his mother compares with Cassian/ Maarva, and I’m fascinated by this new obsession with Dedra. Perhaps he’s going to only ever be defined by the strong women in his life. It’s a great show that can make you empathise with the antagonists so deeply.
@@colleybri8912 He's... kinda creepy, but i can understand why he is the way he is because of his interactions with his mother
Andor, just came out of nowhere, was amazing because nobody expected anything of it so it had freedom to really go places the more market friendly series couldn't.
_Andor_ came out of nowhere and left every other Star Wars show in the dust. Quite impressive, and I can't wait to see what they do next.
I hope it sets the standard that you don't need pandering in every show.
best thing about this series, is all characters felt important. even the peeps with 1 line or scene. oh hell, the clock tower Duke Might Boot kick was amazing.
percussion tower*
This. All the characters had depth, you felt they had real lives beyond what we saw in camera
I mean, his name is 'The Time Grappler'. So cool...
This! Is! Ferrix!
I love that everyone was saying no one asked for this show and it's pointless, only for it to be the best of all the shows.
Andor is truly a gem, I actually felt every episode, felt the fear and control the empire exerted, the loss and the suffering, the risks and high stakes and the sacrifices the characters are making, the life they're giving up just for the sake of a hope of freedom. Truly phenomenal!
Massive appreciation for referencing Ebon’s role in “The Bear”, the other spectacular genre drama of 2022
The Bear needs it's honest trailer.
Be kind - this was an epic series!!
@@pyrofan80 I love every minute of it.
Haha! I’m glad I wasn’t the only who noticed that
I mean the Bear was incredibly intense, but the finale made absolutely no sense to me
Interesting that Rogue One & Andor, the best Disney's Star Wars movie and show, have little to nothing to do with the Skywalkers. I hope they become the blueprints for future projects.
The Star Wars Universe is full of potential to explore new, cool and interesting ideas. It's just that essentially all the 464 Star Wars shows and movies so far never had any interest in doing anything but reheating the old triology nostalgia 😅
Mandalorian is way better than this crap
Best is subjective and Disney will definitely continue to make Jedi related content since it prints money. But if that money goes to fund projects like Andor, I am happy! Hopefully they will continue to fund great shows alongside the ones that are more entertainment than philosophical.
I just want an Atton Rand series, maybe up to and including the events of KOTOR2 from his perspective (he can conveniently be left on the ship during most of the combat grind).
although two skywalkers do show up in rogue one.
Andy Serkis did truly shine in this. Loved every scene he was in
Andor is so good and when Andy Serkis showed up.. that was the chief's kiss cherry on top. This show needs.. no.. it deserves more recognition.
This show was so good that after watching it I've just been binging videos that talk about how good it is and why it's so damn good and just nodding along and thinking "exactly!". I never thought that in this day and age I'd be recommending anything Star Wars related to anyone, but I've been doing just that because it really is worth it.
I only saw it last week, and I've been doing exactly the same 😅 already planning a rewatch, just can't get enough.
Andor deserves an Emmy award in every category :)
Nah., this year was too good for a sweep. Saul, hotD, severence come to mind. But it certainly deserve quite a few.

The monologues in this show alone are worthy of every award!

The honest trailer we all wanted for Andor. Nothing but praise, and it's well deserved. Well written, superbly acted, top-notch production design, excellent camera framing, and the sounds and score... it's all just really, really good entertainment.

I just love how they melt so seamlessly the bright, chromey aesthetic of the prequels with the grimey, old and worn aesthetics of the original trilogy, and a hint of the Empire's minimalistic decor, giving each of them a reason to be and a sense in the Star Wars Universe. Back in the day, I always found it jarring how amazingly different the design was in the prequels, and these intermediary shows are helping a lot in explaining why and how both trilogies looked so different.
This show is so good that the honest trailer that actually describes the show straight.
Honourable mention goes to Anton Lesser playing Major Partagaz "Thesis, please" (Also Qyburn from Game of Thrones) Definitely the casting dept wanted that Peter Cushing Grand Moff Tarkin gravitas. Great writing + great acting. Season 1 gave us: A cool bank heist, tense prison break, spy thriller, WW2 french resistance style action. Basically Sci-Fi for grown ups. Tony Gilroy has set the bar very high. Also beautiful production in the UK from some very talented people.
Chills every time Serkis was on screen. Top notch performances.
Incredible.
It's probably a bad idea, but I was waiting for a reveal that he was a precursor to Snoke who died and was resurrected by Palpatine. I don't think they should have done that, but why else would they cast an actor that was already in this universe, even a great one like Serkis?
@@coolnerdlll6053 lol are you on weed?
I don't think there's any better endorsement than a show Honest Trailers can't make fun of.
How about the Cartman wannabe?
@@BadFluffy I like the read that has final scene was him having an “are we the baddies?” moment.
We needed this show. We really did.
I've been trying to convince my friends to watch this for like over a year now... its so sad they're offput by general starwars show, its honestly so good
That last episode was poetry. The music, the acting, everything.
when i saw that death star all of my body shivers
@@helldronez Being built by the droids constructed by the slave/prison facilities.
@@helldronez that was literally the least important or emotional moment of the entire episode - it was just an Easter egg like ????????
@@1998rg do you watch the series? it is literally what they built in prison camp so it is important plot
Not the Star Wars we deserved but the one we needed.
Andor is the most grown up thing Star Wars has done
When the honest reviews actually only has praises, you know it's good
It's amazing that a show in Star Wars where everyday people from low ranking soldiers, to workers, to rebels just do their stuff with relatively little action is so entertaining.
Making an honest trailer for the movie "Nobody" is super easy, barely an inconvenience. You guys should do it.
I see what you did there
Wowowowow
@@anthonycerulli1423 😁
Making references to other KZhead channels that make fun of movies is tight!
Now I'm going to have to ask you to get ALL the way off my back about that 😆 (yes, I'm also a Ryan George fan)
I loved Andor…Rogue One was my favorite Star Wars movie, because of the way the ending illuminated the beginning of New Hope. It feels so genuine. Your review was perfect!
I've just recently watched The Bear and now the "Cousin!" joke finally makes sense!
I'm so glad you did one of these on Andor! It's such a great show and sadly doesn't get the attention it so very deserves.
Thats cause Disney shat in peoples faces with their woke agenda infiltrating everything that they've been putting out
I keep telling my friends that have been hurt by starwars over the years this one is actually AMAZING! But, they're too scared to be hurt again!
I can understand when people say they don’t want to give anymore 💰 to Disney Destroyer of Dreams but if we don’t reward them when they do good how can we ever expect to see those IPs again?
I was there. All the recommendations finally got me started and it's so damn good.
Agreed. After the shitshow that has been most of Disney SW I to was worried about watching Andor but I’m very glad I did. What an amazing show.
Let them see the fan reactions.
Andor was so surprisingly excellent even they gave it its propers here. What a sleeper hit!
Andor was so damn good. They need to make more content for those of us that watched in the 80's.
RoJ was the first live action film I ever saw in theatres. It’s perfectly fine to have “kids” star wars, but the audience is large enough for mature content
This series gives me hope for Star Wars.
Best Honest Trailer in a while. Especially loved the bit about how Andor constantly needs to get out of wherever he is until he stops to sit down for a sunset. Died laughing. Great show, though.
When I first heard of this show I thought, "Why do we need a show about Andor? I can't even remember which guy from Rogue One was Andor." Now I think that Andor is one the best thing that Disney has put out. After dealing with mediocre shows like Boba Fett and Kenobi, Andor being so good feels unreal.
Agree I don’t think there was any excitement for the show but it ended up being incredible
I thought Andor was a planet 😂
@@captainlockes2344 I think it is. I think the rebellion has a base of the fourth moon of Andor, right?
@@jakobgeigelclermont That’s Endor lol
It’s the best Star Wars ever sorry to the og trilogy but it’s true
Andor is a FANTASTIC series. If you haven’t seen it, you are doing yourself a disservice.
I saw New Hope in the theatre. I am 50. I loved Andor. 😂
That's the thing... real legit Star Wars universe fans are the majority grown ups. We needed this show more than anything, the world building, the writing, the complexity put on how the Rebels started and how terrifying the Empire can be. Its amazing. A show that respect its viewers. I want more of this universe like this ASAP!
There already is one. Disney threw it away and called it “Legends”.
Star Wars has always been for children. It’s the same story over and over. Adults watch Star Trek.
@@suneelj93 Two different beasts. And after the clear quality of Andor you still have this opinion? Well, at this point its a just a choice or ignorance. Andor just proved it can clearly be successful in different ways.
@@suneelj93 No, I have never liked Star Trek. Probably because of its theatricality. .
@@GuiiBrazil Star Wars started in 1977. Congrats on making something good for adults finally in the year 2022.
I was blown away by how incredible this show is. More people really need to talk about this show!
The first two episodes didn't manage to catch me and my friends at all. So we ditched it. Terrible beginning for a supposed "great show".
@PhobosDDeimos That's too bad. I guess the show isn't for everyone, and that's okay. I think you are definitely missing out, but it's not my business to decide what shows you do or don't like.
This show is in my Top 10 of all time, and I was dreading its release. It just makes me sad, thinking of the Star Wars sequel trilogy we could have had.
I hope that Disney takes the right message from Andor's praise: we want character driven stories, not dark and edgy stories.
Andy Serkis was so outstandingly good in this that it broke my brain.
I love how the show I was least excited about ended up being the best.
Since it was made by the same people who did Rogue One I knew it had a chance of being good. Rogue One has been the only decent SW movie Disney has managed to make.
@@braxxian I completely agree.
This honest trailer proves just how unbelievably good this series is
by being better and being more dynamic than the actual show was? What could have been told within a span of one movie was stretched for 12 episodes\8 hours.
1:05 - 1:21 - The contrast between the two tones will never not be funny to me 😂😂😂
The Empire probably could have turned so many people to their side before they triggered that war by turning over that droid if they offered people the incentive of occasionally flavored food and water tubes that were located right next to their beds.
Literally and figuratively began to hit different
