Cue that brassy fanfare! Trek has a thread, and now Star Wars does too.
A place to discuss any Star Wars films, series, books, comics, rumours, gossip, even your midichlorian levels!
This IS the thread you're looking for.

Adventure, excitement - a Jedi craves not these things.

So who's keeping up with Andor then? It's a different angle ont he Star Wars universe. No Jedi, lightsabers, space wizards or super weapons (so far at least).
It's small time stuff that's feels like it's building to something significant. Maybe that's the message of the series: that overthrowing the repressive overlords doesn't happen because of the super-powerful. It needs the small folk to rise up and act too.
What does anyone else think?

Yes I've just started this, only 2 episodes in and the tension is building. It has a real thriller quality to it. My son went up to uni this year and we are watching it together.

It's an unusual format for a series, GH. It has 3-episode "arcs" which effectively build into mini movies. You get a conclusion in episode 3 and, although ep 4 follows on from ep3, there's clearly a new story starting.
Are you missing the Force and the Jedi in this show?

I am loving Andor. And thanks for the thread. When I re-watched the entire lot of films recently I was struck by how interesting the politics was, and that has been continued, to a certain extent, in the Disney + spin-offs.
And I love Diego Luna.

Just watched Episode 6. Excellent! A bit more action than we've had for a couple of episodes, and it seems to have gone in a direction I didn't expect with the ending.
One of the things I'm loving about the show is how we're seeing more of the lower levels of the Imperial military. We're used to seeing Vader and Tarkin and their Admirals. We're seeing Captains and Colonels in Andor, stationed on minor worlds with small commands that they're just trying to get promoted away from. It's a very different angle to view the Empire from.
