Andor is Reds in space. No goofy shit, they don't use magic mcgiffins, the first big arc is them literally stealing gold from an armory that's sitting on top of a religious site for the locals that they forced out and into factories.
Andor's home planet is essentially a union town that organizes and rises up against imperial occupation after the blundering local cops try to raid them and get totally wrecked.
Yeah, it's good, it being part of Star Wars ends up being pretty secondary.
Absolutely. I'm not a big star wars guy either and I love it
I only like the original trilogy, mostly, and I liked it.
Yes. It’s good slop.
haha yeah imagine a star war where the protagonist is based on communism
Andor isn't even really like young stalin, he's a comintern advisor of sorts
Young Stalin is not a pro-communist book nor it is a historical book
I love how you can almost always tell by the BOLD TEXT and 
that the video is made by a worthless waste of oxygen grown adult spending their entire day hemming and hawing about TV shows
Next up, Pedro Pascal in, "The Mao-dalorean".
I didn't generate it. Nobody yell at me.
Putting four doors on a two door vehicle and an extra rear end on top of the car too. 
Disney has finally created an interesting story since the 1st trilogy and star wars fans will never forgive them for it.
Saw Guerera did nothing wrong
My YouTube feed just recommended the clip from Rebels where he tears into Mon Mothma for being a feckless lib. I guess the moral of the story is, if you can't read theory, huff rhydo.
Lol, Rebel RFK with anti-mask rhetoric, and rhydo 
. Smh.
Many people are saying this.
Stalins Biography is just on another level - dude Robbed Statebanks and walked back from Siberia long before the hole Sending People to Space and safing the world from facism arc , while still writing theory.
i dont even care for starwars that much but this shit makes me wanna watch andor
Andor is a secondarily a Star Wars show, which is to say that it's not concerned with its own lore and self-referential circle jerking like most other Star Wars media is at this point.
It is, first and foremost, a political thriller, and the story of one man's political radicalization into doing commie space terrorism.
If you like spy thrillers, heists, prison breaks, and stuff like that, you might enjoy it
It's good. Like actually good. They quote theory.
quote theory??? When??
In a few places but in the manifesto and also Luthen in The Speech.
Damn cool!
And the first arc is literally ACAB
An early character is carrying round/writing a manifesto
Ok this sounds convincing to give it a go
Disney has gone-a nutsen! Muy muy craaazy, like Stalino! It makes meesa berry berry mad!
Ok but episode one came out when i was like 11 years old. I thought jar jar was so funny and he's still my favourite
