First reactions hail the Star Wars prequel sequence as visually gorgeous and really distinctive

It gained’t be lengthy earlier than the Star Wars prequel sequence Andor forces its means onto Disney+, and critics who acquired an early have a look at the show are lining as much as sing its praises. People are describing the primary 4 episodes of Andor as one thing “completely different” from different Star Wars-related tasks on the mouse-eared streaming platform. One critic even mentioned Andor rivals The Mandalorian relating to high quality, dept of story, and environment. Stick that in your space-aged hooka and huff it, Jabba!

Whereas I might wax rhapsodic about how excited I’m to look at the three-episode premiere of Andor when it arrives on Disney+ on September 21, 2022, I’ll let the advantageous people who’ve seen the present pump you up.

#Andor options the very best manufacturing values of any @DisneyPlus @starwars sequence so far. It positively had some intriguing moments…beginning in episode 4. It has a lot potential however the first 3 episodes transfer means too slowly and will have been 1 episode.

I am comfortable to say that #Andor is friggin’ AWESOME! The primary live-action #StarWars present to rival The Mandalorian however it’s soooooooo completely different. Pushed by temper, environment, & character – feels extra akin to a darkish Ridley Scott Sci-Fi joint. LOVED the primary few episodes! pic.twitter.com/EYIagLv6r2

#Andor is NOT what I anticipated. It is a mixture of STAR WARS UNDERWORLD and LORD OF THE FLIES, an odd pairing that works. Diego Luna, Adria Arjona, Fiona Shaw and Stellan Skarsgård give standout performances. It is action-packed, but a gradual burn and I am unable to wait to see the way it ends. pic.twitter.com/SVqfnhnfvq

A month or two in the past I watched the primary 4 episodes of #Andor and it is superior. High quality manufacturing design, lived in worlds, actual trying areas, and characters that really feel like actual individuals. It is the very best of Disney Star Wars thus far and far wanted for the franchise! pic.twitter.com/JOeUVkaCqP

#Andor is not like any @starwars story that we have ever seen earlier than. @diegoluna_ is on the middle of a surprising & harmful world in turmoil. It is gritty, mature, and essentially the most clever and well-informed story we have needed to date. Tony Gilroy is a genius. pic.twitter.com/pfZwlmZ0HD

.#Andor is completely lovely. The writing, cinematography, music, & performing had been phenomenal. There have been even moments of hilarity so it did not really feel like dread (the sensation of the empire & location). Assume Mandalorian ranges. It was so good. The path was simply 🔥🔥🔥

As a Latina, #Andor felt like coming residence in a means that no different Star Wars property has ever accomplished. And though you already know the place @diegoluna_‘s Cassian Andor finally ends up, you need to watch each second. You need to know every thing about @adriaarjona too. Belief me. Watch on Sept. 21! pic.twitter.com/FeOk1T9rgO

Andor will see the return of Diego Luna because the titular character. The 12-episode sequence will happen 5 years earlier than the occasions of Rogue One. On this story, the main target might be on the genesis of the revolt towards the Empire. Cassian Andor will discover himself on a journey the place he discovers he can turn into a priceless asset to this new motion wherein teams of individuals from completely different planets begin to come collectively and be part of the struggle. The sequence can even star Genevieve O’Reilly, Stellan Skarsgård, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, Fiona Shaw, and Faye Marsay. Tony Gilroy, the author of the Bourne film sequence, is the creator and showrunner.

Some days, it looks like Disney+ is pumping out Star Wars-related sequence like they’re going out of fashion. Fortunately, every challenge explores a distinct a part of a galaxy distant, including to the franchise’s mythology in thrilling methods. I’m wondering if and when the Star Wars bubble will pop. Then once more, the Star Wars Universe has lasted generations and presents extra range than ever.
