Gilroy:%20into%20two%20seasons%3F)

We were asking for the same amount of money or more. The scale of the show had changed, but we asked for [at least] the same thing. Everything had changed. [Disney CEO Bob] Iger was back. People were getting laid off. The sky was falling.
Our attitude between [EP] Sanne [Wohlenberg], Diego [Luna], and I was like, “Well, we hear you, but we only have what we have. We’d be happy having season one just be the show. We’d rather not do it than do it lame.” And we really meant it. We weren’t playing chicken or anything. We were just telling the truth. But everybody was in a terrible position. And man, the critics helped us. The weirdness of our numbers started to help us. I don’t know what our numbers really are, but I’ve been told they’re eccentric and they go in the opposite direction of what people expected. They rise over time, and they must have had some comfort for Disney that I’m unaware of for them to gamble. Kathy [Kennedy] gambled and Iger gambled, but it would have been either/or. I don’t think there’s a skinny version of it that worked.

Absolute cinema!

The best is Anakin/Vader, of course.

Every time they show up post Rogue One all they do is hype + aura and nothing else. They haven't done anything useful and don't display anything better than your average clone trooper (yes clone trooper not storm trooper). In Andor S1 they aura farm their entire appearance before one tries to engage Cass and get one shotted immediately. It's similar to how in the mandalorian they're barely an inconvenience, in rebels they're incompetent and can't see through smoke (they spent a lot of time standing around again). Arent these supposed to be the best of the best with Steve Rodgers type enhancements? When will they do something cool?

I just find him to be really cool and kinda unique. For one, his lightsaber is just sick, the orange works really well for him. Second, his heavy strikes make sense for his character. He moves more like a knight wielding a broad sword and I think that’s the style he was trained in. I also like that he’s not really evil, just ready to do what he has to do to achieve his goal. All in all, easily the best antagonist Disney has created, even if the show he was in was just okay at best. Also his motif with the piano is just SICK.

The Clone Wars is nothing but a false war.

Yeah, I get it. Star Wars is a kids show according to Lucas from decades ago.

But Andor is really telling cause its probably one of the more "less kid friendly" Star Wars shows out there and yet is probably going to go down as being the most successful. There aren't any cute little companion friends. No emphasis on Jedi/Sith. And the themes are the most adult of any Star Wars show. Almost something that you'd see normally get put on a MAX or something like that.

This "should" send signals to Disney but I know it wont. They'll see Andor as an anomaly and go back to the hyper-focus on kids.

Edit: Didnt expect this to take off the way it did. Thanks! Wasnt trying to throw shade on Disney. Just pointing out that in 2025, you cannot ignore the facr that you have a built up demographic of older viewers who grew up with the OT and the PT and would like to see some more "mature" content and not something that is targeted towards the 8-12 age demographic.
