    I was crucified so hard back on Reddit for saying this, that I loaded up Lego star wars, and set up Andor as the P2 character and just kept killing him for twenty minutes.

    I don’t even hate the show. I just hate all the people trying to Gaslight me into believing that I’m some kind of moron who is incapable of understanding the Brilliance of the show when in reality I understand “Empire Bad” just fine… and also it’s not exactly new information… I merely find it incredibly boring. I don’t respect the show enough to hate it.

    By that I mean it doesn’t stir half emotions within me for me to even bother thinking about it beyond my initial impression.

    Meanwhile I can tell you on every level how book of Boba Fett was a grand disappointment that served no purpose outside of assassinating the character of Boba Fett and hyping up the third season to a show that ironically I didn’t watch because of how bad book of Boba Fett butchered every character not nicknamed Mando.

    As for Andor, it’s not even bad.

    I don’t mean that it’s not bad, it’s that I can’t give an opinion on the show that doesn’t also apply to watching paint dry, because that is also defined by the three fundemental remarks slow, boring, and not Star Wars.

      Ahahaha

      Brutal! But, based on the handful of episodes I watched, on point. Just such a weird choice. “You know that universe, famous for laser sword fights, exciting space battles and dialogue that winks at the camera? Let’s strip out all that joy and make a not particularly well written serious drama there!”

      I basically agree with you on Boba Fett but I have to admit, getting super baked and (spoilers) watching him destroy stuff while riding a goddamn rancor was like watching my childhood sandbox dreams come to life.

        I get the feeling this was written by a guy who really wished he was writing a Game of Thrones knock-off, but somehow failed upward and now he has to do that beloved franchise that prints money… Apparently in interviews he admitted to not liking Star Wars… Given how long it took for Stormtroopers to show up instead of “Guys in generic military uniforms”, I could kind of tell.

        Launchs my friend, you’re kind of alright.

          Ballsy thing to admit but you’re right, that absolutely tracks.
