Just binge watched both seasons of Andor followed by ROGUE ONE and believe I have found Nirvana. (lemmy.world)

I know — I’m late to this party but if you have the traditional Star Wars background and you suddenly gain full access to Andor… just do it! It’s likely in the top ten of all televisions series by itself, but when you top it off with Rogue One… it’s sublime. True art in its finest manifestation! The pairing is simply breathtaking.

I saw Rogue One in the theaters and clocked it as the finest of all the Star Wars movies — and to rewatch it after Andor and ten years… just one of the finest media viewing experiences of my life.

And Rogue One experts: is the director of Rogue One directly referencing Blue Velvet’s Frank when Sol Guerrero hits his gas?? How did I not notice this the first time. It’s amazing — and like Frank, the gas makes him crazy. It’s too close not to be intentional. Anyway… forgive me — I’m having a media high. Just want to share that! Go… do this… and may the force be with you.

you talked about the Andor being a cold blooded killer moment at the beginning of Rogue One. I need to reply to what you are calling “conflicting scenes.”

Now… it’s obviously that you have dropped a load of hate on a movie I am telling you I now love.

I hope you have patience to hear me out.

I will refer to the television program ANDOR on all caps, and Andor the character like that.

So… ANDOR explained to me why he seems cold blooded to kill his rebel confederate. Why? ANDOR shows us the Republic has a tool that extracts the truth from rebels about the whereabouts and identities of all the rebels he has ever known.

When Andor shoots that useless turd in that first scene, it’s because if he allows him to live, the rebellion is finished.

Other folks who have watched ANDOR will bear this out.

Now… as to his not shooting Galen Irso… at the end… well… this is Andor’s humanity. Why he is a lovey character. Why the movie works so well. The girl, whose name escapes me, the daughter of Irso is ripped from irso at the beginning of the movie — Andor knows she has one chance to meet her dad, and he cannot take this from her because he loves her. That’s what’s going on there. Human love.

Is the move better after the series?? Hell yeah… so I won’t argue with you about it sucking, despite that I considered it the best of the SW movies when I saw it in theaters. Perhaps the fact that the director what not into the whole SW universe really helped.

Anyway… I’m hanks for chiming in. I hope you will watch ANDOR and rewatch Rogue One after… your perspective will change.
