Star Wars: Andor (September 21st, 2022)

[Mondragon]

I am so *&^% off. .

Thought I'd gotten my obsessive-compulsive need to collect wrestled down.

Although trailer looks great, love all the set-up, tone, and story potential here.
And even with all the world building, Nothing still really jumps as a new figure I'd absolutely want, I think that's cause Gilroy is going for the very established familiar look, and it's not the easy gimmick, but the actual story that will stand out.
Maybe Andor in what appears his main recurring look, although at this point I'de still rather have his R1 look first. maybe Saw and Mothma and Skarsgård (Luthen Rael

Atleast we know where the Kenobi money went. This looks much better.

My message for this show after watching that trailer

 

[choombaz]

Some press from the last couple of days.

Tony Gilroy said:
"The freedom on this show was unprecedented," he said. "I've never had this level of trust, even with pictures I had final cut on." Diego Luna doubled down on the tone of the show being something special. "What we've made is insanely ambitious, dark and real," the actor said. "Even as Tony was pitching me, I was like, 'This is amazing. You are sick.'"

"Yep, we're old-school," said Gilroy, chuckling. "We didn't use StageCraft at all."

"In Pitlochry, Scotland, we had to walk for hours up a mountain to set up one shot. Huge effort. Really dangerous to get there. All you can see around you is sky, trees, rivers, lakes. Amazing! Like being on another planet."

 

[choombaz]

Any idea who the actress is? She looks vaguely familiar but I can't find any mention of her yet in cast listings...

I ***think*** it’s Adria Arjona from Pacific Rim 2.

I really hope that we do see Andor and the Rebellion get up to some shady morally grey (and outright ******) stuff. Rogue One established that he was the kinda guy to do whatever was necessary to get the job done and that the Rebellion wasn’t as squeaky clean as they’d have people believe.

I expect Saw to be up to his usual extremist shenanigans.

Not Adria Arjona (1st pic below). She's in the show, but I was asking about the other actress (2nd pic). Definitely not the same woman lol.

 

[svnmelter]

lol

Nobody even remembers this dude or wanted a TV show with him. This will fail.

Speak for yourself doofus

 

[jye4ever]

At least this show will resolve one of the biggest problems with RO which was the lack of Saw’s backstory with his gang of unknowns.

Will the flag smasher gang from Solo be involved in the formation of the rebellion.

I like Cassian's look, and the rest of the main cast. Of course, Cassian could end up looking like a mariachi player portrait-wise. Sometimes it's like HT falls over themselves to save their customers money. And since it now takes 5 years minimum for a new HT to ship, I guess I have time to save up the $6,068.59 that four or five figures will cost by then. But the DX Cassian will have a light up stand.

THIS is the Star Wars we need.
The production looks amazing.
I cannot wait to see Mon Mothma dodging in the Senate.
and I REALLY hope we see Palpatine in this!!
It does look might epic.
Got goosebumps seeing Whitaker in this,as that was well hidden.
Cannot wait.
3 episode opener...woot woot

I don’t want to see Palpatine in this.

I think it would work better if they mention but never show him.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I can see Tarkin and Palpatine in this. Maybe even Krennic.

They already said her name is Keyla..hmm (Keyla..Leia )

 

[a-dev]

If Leia were to appear surely it would be a Carrie Deepfake, not a recast.

KK said they wouldn’t be recasting any more legacy characters since apparently that’s why Solo flopped; not their awful handling of the production and marketing.

 

[sithocan]

The trailer looked like a movie trailer rather than a TV show production-wise. I hope the scenario will also have high quality.

Fingers crossed Andor actually will be a ruthless spy as at the beginning of Rogue One. I don't want to see another twisted arc like with Solo, give us a bad boy. You can't win a war being nice all along.

Is... that... a matte painting..?

Quite possibly, JaeHee Jung is credited as the digital matte painter on the show according to Imdb.
