In view of how unwatchable Ashoka and Acolyte are, I had to write a review for Andor, because it is phenomenally good. This is an example of good story writing. Even without lightsaber or jedi, a Star Wars show can shine. This is difficult for me to say but, I actually think this show is better than the Mandalorian. It's one of the best of Star Wars, if not the best.

This show saved Disney Plus. Incredible story writing, and actor performance. Have not felt this good watching a show for a while.

As a Star Wars fan, this series fall far short of all the other series and expectations. It's all the illogical story plot devices, and changing of story lore which builds up to make the story so uncompelling and frustrating to watch. It breaks immersion when the story doesn't make sense. 1. The force is in everyone, but not everyone can use the force. The movies has built a foundation for it, why do you have to go and change it? Just train and focus? Not everyone is "chosen". I don't know if they are trying to push a political idea knowing it's Disney at this point or this is just another plot device. 2. If a Jedi just fought some droids trying to kill you for an orb, won't you at least send some guards even though Sabine ran off with it? Jedi with no foresight? Another plot device. 3. When there is fighting outside your ship and even made impacts on your ship, surely a Jedi would be able to sense it. Another illogical plot device. 4. A general sensed high energy build up from the enemy ship in front, and precedes to wait and watch. A general. No evasive maneuver? Another illogical point. If you don't have a good story to tell, then don't. Stop hijacking an IP for your own ego.

This is ironically the best Batman I've seen personally. The darker nature of the scene paired with the music was an awesome experience.

So, you have these multiple thousand years people wanting to find a way home, and they finally found it, but they blew it due to impatient by a day? They only won her trust, just trick her somewhere and you can still develop the story there on. And you killed the only gigachad who can fight multiple enemies in a confined space because he can't throw a dagger while jumping away from danger or something? What a plot device. Incompetent story writing. How did Marvel approve this? I can forgive Ms Marvel being a dreamy teenage girl who hasn't proven herself, with no skills whatsoever. The bangle gives her power, fine. But the plot just makes the entire show so much more worse.

Imagine this: your house got turn upside down, and the next thing you did is to return the letter to the supposedly intended owner, and moon over him? And you go on your life as normal? Irrationality can only go so far for this kind of show. Don't think you can slap the Disney brand on it and expect us to like/support it.

So, to save the prince from a very dangerous place, you form a party of 5 with 3 rookies who haven't proved themselves in actual combat before, one a princess and another a prince, and only 2 who are warriors? And the so called only hope is without any shadow guardian? Incompetent story writing. And you shove down your political agenda right away in Episode 1?

It's trying too hard to be politically correct that it deducted from the immersive Marvel story telling magic.
