Andor's 3-episode series premiere takes us to a brand new place in Star Wars, and succeeds in almost every aspect. But how does it succeed? By establishing realism in Star Wars like never before, namely through actions having consequences, and those actions being carried out by flawed people, through the use of vices by those flawed people including sex/alcohol/language, utilizing practical sets and leveraging regional accents, and finally, through organic comedy. I dive into the depiction of each and give some other outlying thoughts on why I loved the show. There is a small criticism section but its mostly about my queen Mon Mothma not being in any of these episodes...
Hope you enjoy!
