Joan reminded me of my vow to NEVER watch another Star Wars movie when I brought this up...
She said "remember all the time we wasted on the last one ?"
Me: "the movie ?"
Her: "Yes"
Me: "You mean ... two hours ?"
Her: "Yes"
I said it would be a tough sell...
It's not a movie.
Did you see Rogue One (the movie)? Best Star Wars film since the originals, this series is written by the same guy, and the Andor character(Rebel spy) debuted in that movie. All the other Disney Star Wars movies are terrible, as a lifelong diehard SW they make me angry and sad. So I don't blame you on that.
Here's a challenge: watch Rogue One (the movie). Or even go watch the trailer. The film is really good, the audience in the theater i was at were cheering when the credits started to roll, it's nothing at all like the other Disney SW films. If you don't like it, don't watch Andor.
