We obviously travel in different circles, because every Star Wars fan I know personally loves the show. And it’s got a ton of positive buzz online.We are fooling ourselves if we think we are getting much from season one. It’s a snooze fest. Maybe cassian and some troopers, but the show has zero buzz. Even friends who are Star Wars fans aren’t watching. The bad Blood from boba and kenobi turned off more people than they think. Also, while I like the character, cassian isn’t beloved like boba and kenobi. Casuals will give up early because not much happens so far. I’m giving it a chance, but not many visual options that will be exciting for hot toys. I just want cassian from rogue one.

It was, at one point. Nothing but respect for Lucas but the universe lost a bit of that hard edge as the years went on.
The show brings us back to some of the original space western aspects of the OT, alongside many other genres it’s been navigating very well.
you seriously haven't watched it yetGlad to hear! Sounds like Andor is another good depiction of the SW universe, I'll have to put it on my to-watch list.

Will probably work in your favour. The first few episodes, though good, are a "slow burn" and you'll be able to binge them if you wanted.Haha no, not yet. I typically am in no rush to see movies/shows right away, and usually will watch them well after if they pique my interest.

You'd be surprised about what kids are into. I didn't think my youngest (9) would like it, but he loves this show as much, possibly more than the other shows. For my 12 year old, it's his favorite show so far after Mando, and that's close. Kids like action and adventure, yes, but they are also far more impacted by mood, tone, pacing, and tension than we give them credit.Yeah, I saw "The Normies" reaction review on YouTube and the one guy instantly said Solo shot first.
I was thinking more in the sense of fun and dialogue.....should have elaborated. Lucas of course stated that his series was for kids, even though arms, heads were cut off or people were shot. Where Andor is concerned, I am guessing that children may not have as much interest in a series that is so serious.
It’s certainly be put slow. I’m glad I watched the first episodes in two daysWe are fooling ourselves if we think we are getting much from season one. It’s a snooze fest.

Ironically enough, I could see a Cassian figure release from "Andor" as the "Krennic" figure release from Rogue One...
Fan requests finally reaching Howard's ears.
The fact that there hasn't even been a tease of any figure from "Andor" does not bode well.
Kids are likely going to enjoy whatever their parents enjoy, at least at a young age. I myself have been forced to continue watching this series because of work and I must say I haven't experienced much of either (good) pacing or tension so far (The only exceptions being the scenes involving Andor's two kills). I also much prefer the show-it-don't-tell-it approach and this show has been 95% talk up until this point, much of which has been fairly repetitive stuff or altogether forgettable imo. Mandalorian is still the only Disney SW win for me and unfortunately I don't see how that's gonna change anytime soon.You'd be surprised about what kids are into.

Yep, perhaps if Andor and Mando had a baby it would be the perfect show ?I have found this series to be a refreshing mature piece of work so far and look forward to seeing more. I don't expect to see it take a negative turn.
Perhaps "BoBF" and "Obi-wan" lowered the bar so much for me that anything approaching mediocrity or above seems amazing but I've really liked the story telling and particularly the acting, so far. It has been gritty and more personal, as far as the characters go. No light-saber fights or sophomoric humor has been quite refreshing, too.

I was thinking more in the lines of when I was a kid and what kids were looking at in the 70s and 80s. Plus we didn't have streaming services, so we followed what was mainly popular at school and what we liked from the toy stores/sections.You'd be surprised about what kids are into.

I'm not saying this is the case for each and every family, but it is true to a an extent. Because of what I stated above, I wasn't influenced by my parents, as I gravitated towards sci-fi on the whole by myself. Star Wars, Buck Rogers, The Black Hole, Battlestar Galactica and others as well.Kids are likely going to enjoy whatever their parents enjoy, at least at a young age.
I expected it to be a serious series (seeing Rogue One) and I realized early that this is mainly different from a Lucas or Lucas approved story line. And yes, it has been really refreshing for me after being disappointed with BoBF and Obi-Wan.I have found this series to be a refreshing mature piece of work so far and look forward to seeing more.
