Star Wars: Andor

Dueling Vader with what? Did they make her Force sensitive?

Shotos iirc. Haven't read the comics just the YouTube recap.

Has been already -- Qi'ra has featured as a major player in the current Marvel storyline, set between 5 & 6.

Thanks for the word. I may have to look those up.

Dueling Vader with what?

Teras kasi, I think. She didn't win but she didn't lose, either, though the storyline is still ongoing and things don't look like they're going to go well for her.

Thanks for the word. I may have to look those up.

She shows up at the start of "War of the Bounty Hunters", back in May of last year.

I just watched the first episode. A slow start, but a nice setup. It's got the dirty, lived-in look that makes Star Wars feel so real. The characters come across as realistic too, right up to the officer who in today's world would be triggering those "what managers do v. what leaders do" lists that keep showing up on LinkedIn.

Finished the second and third episodes. It starts slowly, but by episode 3 it takes off. Excellent show so far. It takes its time to present the story and the characters. This might be even better than The Mandalorian.

A good first three episodes. That corpo officer has definite Inspector Javert vibes - I can easily see him either trying to join the Imperial military or going on his own little crusade after his superior inevitably fires him.

I think it was a smart move to release the first three episodes together. Without ep. 3, people would complain that it's too slow and nothing is happening. But they know that pretty much everyone who cares enough to watch on the first day will watch all three of them, so they get to build their world first and still give the fans an excellent and very tense episode that will keep them coming back for more.

Watching it now.

It's dark, bleak, and cynical. And I'm here for all of it.

 

[Rabulias]

It's off to a good start, IMO. Looks like we will get his childhood backstory in flashbacks spread out through the series, rather than a linear telling.

I do love the poor, earnest little red cube-droid (is his name just B?). He reminds me of B.O.B. from The Black Hole. Lying to people is so difficult he has to recharge afterwards? Just too cute.
