What an absolutely perfect depiction of this universe. I'm starting the second episode of season 1 now.

I went in expecting it to be bad (“Who the hell cared about Andor?”), watched the first two episodes and then sort of sat on it for a few weeks because it seemed so slow at first. Then I picked it back up and it was just awesome, it feels like something from a different era. It just builds and builds and it feels like an actual “mature” Star Wars story. It’s so goddamn refreshing given the string of trash that Disney has put out, actual good writing feels so rare now.

I've described the pacing of the series as like the T1000 chasing John Conner in T2. Starts out with a brisk walk, moving within a few steps to a jog, and before you know it he's sprinting as fast as a dirtbike at full throttle

Lol, they released the first three episodes together for a reason.

I loved that the Imperial officers and such, were mainly British, and many of them looked like actors out of 70s films, giving it that new hope feel when it was done with London actors
