Star Wars: Andor (April 22, 2025)

[goatchumby]

Watch the one Andor figure Hot Toys makes is Krennic just in new packaging

Given his aftermarket, I am totally ok with that.

I just want one scene between Krennic and Syril's Mom.

Krennic would run crying after being emotionally demolished

 

[Wor-Gar]

He might present a promising "prospect" for her and her son.

Cool video showing some of the best shots fully vertically.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I HATE vertical movies. The phone generation is odd indeed.

This is the way.

 

[Mondragon]

Yeah I don't get it, why butcher it like that?
Maybe made for this guy?

For the rest of us, several of the same beautiful shots here:

It’s different but not bad. The problem is other than our phones, nothing is viewed vertically. They don’t have sports this way and movies aren’t filmed this way (yet). So until that happens sticking to good old horizontal is best. I honestly don’t think the switch would ever happen but who knows.

And our eyes aren't placed vertically.

There is no horizon in a vertical world.

Though there was a vintage poster style which exploited it to great effect

I absolutely agree and very much prefer horizontal storytelling - however as somebody in the industry, I will say that about 80% of my work this year has been vertical projects. There is a HUGE and growing market for them - especially overseas. So I am riding that wave instead of trying to hold off on the inevitable. I don't think they will ever surpass traditional film/television in my lifetime, but it seems like they won't be going away anytime soon

 

[Wor-Gar]

Your work will be viewed on phones only.

I would never want to make a movie for a phone.

human vision is wide not tall so I don't think vertical will really ever take off. only the phone generation will support it. once folding smartphones are widespread and standard all will return to widescreen

Holy crap that vertical stuff is so wrong it hurt my brain I kept wanting to peek around the corner to see what I was missing.

Just what I always wanted to see in a movie, a ceiling!

Yuck!

 

[Mondragon]

Needs to make a comeback!

People in the US.

Are these new mando/andor/kenobi/wandavision Blu Rays (not 4k) region locked?

Or are they regions A,B, & C?

Sorry but I can’t answer right now i’m still in recovery from our presidential debate.

It’s Region Free!

When you play with your Cassian and Luthen, what scenes do you recreate?

Oddly, I can answer this.

Any scene invoking Andor killing to survive another day, be it an informant who he knows will break under torcher...

Some corrupt cop, now begging and appealing to a system, that Andor knows will never believe or take his side...

Some dreck, shamelessly out for the money, who he likely sees to much of himself in....

Going deeper and deeper into a darker place, haunted by his choices, surviving like a firkin cockroach, until there is no turning back... and only one choice left that will give his life any purpose or meaning.

While I wouldn't "play" with the figures the way I once did, yet having certain figures seems to invoke and becomes yet another visceral (still maybe childlike?) way, to connect with well created and beautifully developed characters I appreciate.
Even the lowliest.

Cassian and Luthens first meeting in the old warehouse building. That firefight was chefs kiss
