Being back in a version of Star Wars where people act like this, talk like this, think like this, is simply too exciting to get slowed down with splitting hairs. The party’s kicking off, and the bolts are flying: I’m simply humming with excitement to see where Andor takes us next.
All the performances are outstanding — O'Reilly has played Mothma in various movies and series for two decades — but the ones that'll knock your socks off are by Kyle Soller and Denise Gough.

Wow. I am absolutely blown away by this show. This is the best Star Wars story I have ever watched. This is a story about the people of the galaxy building and creating the presence of the rebellion against the authoritarian nightmare that is the rebellion. There is no sith, jedi, or force in this show. Just excellent writing and incredible story arcs. Andor is the prequel show to the movie Rogue One, and if you have yet to see Rogue One, you should watch Andor first. It will attach you deeper to some of the characters.

Surprisingly brilliant series. It surprised a few of us, showing that Disney are still capable of writing a good show. Had a slow start, but once it got going really impressed. This and Rogue One is finally a good Star Wars story from Disney.

Thrillingly intricate, suspenseful, tragic and hopeful, it fulfills the promise of the galaxy far, far away, telling a uniquely nuanced, mature, and gripping story that’s at once distinct from, and yet inherently wedded to, the Skywalker Saga upon which it’s founded.
In its first few episodes, Andor has established an exceptionally immersive world and put the pieces in place for a tense, thrilling story underpinned by big ideas. By returning to some of the series’s core principles rather than merely recycling old parts, Andor might be the most exciting new beginning the Star Wars universe has enjoyed since those giant yellow letters first crawled up the big screen to invite us into the galaxy far, far away.
There is no Skywalker heroism here – this is the desperate, last-ditch resistance of ordinary people left with no choice. Andor is Star Wars’ earthiest instalment yet.
These characters offer a fresher take on “Star Wars” lore than Andor’s story, which is a rote rebel mission. If the series finds a way to further blend familiar storytelling with the more-unusual-for-“Star Wars” vibe of palace intrigue, “Andor” might yet prove itself to be a favorite among fans much the way “Rogue One” has become embraced in the eight years since its initial theatrical run.
There is barely any shape to these first four episodes. Three of them don’t even build to any kind of real climax, but just seem to stop at a random point. ... The third [episode] is the one where things finally start happening, as well as the only one that actually has something that feels like a conclusion to one phase of the story. It’s a shame, not only because Luna’s Cassian Andor occupies an interesting place within the larger Star Wars universe, but because Andor gets off to a promising start before things quickly begin to drag.
This show is a monumental galactic snoozefest. I was recommended this show by several people and had already given up on Disney’s take on Star Wars long ago due to too many flops. The Lucas Star Wars movies—even the prequels—tower over any of this Disney rubbish, yet I hoped this one would be different given all the praise.Well, let me tell you—it was not different. It’s another motley crew cast of diversity hires, none of whom actually feel like whole characters. The protagonist seems like he doesn’t even want to be there most of the time, and the plot is more complicated than solving a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded. I mean, what was Disney thinking?Also—no Jedi? It feels like a space version of Mad Men with mediocre acting, confusing plot lines, and the occasional decent episode. But seriously, when I see episodes rated 9 or 10 on IMDb, I wonder: who are the people giving it these scores? Are we living in the movie Idiocracy, where average is the new exceptional—or am I missing something? At best, I’d say it’s above average for a modern TV show, and well above average for a Disney Star Wars show—but nothing to write home about.
