I worry for Thrawn; I really don't want Disney to ruin him.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

I can't see how they can do anything much interesting with Andor. I just feel it'll be a dull story where Disney is not prepared to actually show the rebels doing questionable things.

 

[Matt the Radar Tech]

Agreed.

I'm also surprised it's meant to have a 24 episode (2 seasons at 12 apiece) run-time. That blows my mind. Will they be 40+ minutes? <20 minutes?

 

[Matsu Ike]

considering mando, boba and kenobi weren't even 12 episodes that would be a feat. if anything the seasons for the shows have been getting shorter.

though maybe 24 episodes if they did it like the clone wars minisodes or shudder forces of destiny

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

They're not going to make that many unless they're tiny in size.

Or if they did there's nothing to justify even a half or a quarter that much.

 

[Raziel]

I'd rather they took a style/classic format and bolted some SW aesthetic to it like mando, than take a known IP and try and bolt some vague plot to it again. My expectations for Andor are rock bottom.

I loved it. Cheesy. Forced plots. Rehashing the same characters. Whatever, doesn’t phase me. Whatever keeps the new generation coming in and devouring, the old generation of fans somewhat palatable, and marching us towards Taika’s comment of new and fresh stories, whatever it takes. Another show devoured, more on the horizon, Kathleen closer to stepping down, we still got Filoni, dontcare give me more nostalgia to munch on in anticipation of brand new hotness. It was a good show. My copium is high, expectations low, and age rising.

I want the new new, I’ll lapdog up the old old for now.

Yeah, Thrawn is too good for Disney.

Yeah, Thrawn is too good for Disney.

Is he though? He was fine in the original trilogy, but Zahn really, really loves him to the point that everyone in the galaxy loves/fears how incredible Thrawn is.
Similar in the Rebels show, he's the evil Marty Stu until it's time for him to lose.

Welcome to the Sherlock conundrum.

Masterminds - good or evil - toe the line of being stupidly intelligent (ironic) and all-knowing, but I think it's more viable for a villain than a hero, simply because villains aren't typically the point of view for narrative, nor are they necessarily written as the character to relate to.

Good point but I have a practical one of why it wouldn't work... Thrawn is a guy... anything with him in it would introduce some new female under him who points out the flaws in his plans.

so far the only good live action thing has been Mando.
boba was dull. honestly rancor vs scorpron droids and i was bored.
