Andor is great television. I would try hard to shed your Star Wars apathy and give it a shot.

I'm still working my way through Bad Batch season 2.

My biggest issue with it is that I have to watch it in a nearly pitch black room or I can't see what's going on. That limits the times of day I can watch it, especially in the summer.

Politics aren’t keeping me from watching andor and bad batch 2. I was going through my divorce when they came out. They were both shows I would have watched as they released if not for bad timing


Sorry to hear that man, hope everything works out for you.

I completely understand not being excited about Star Wars, I have zero interest in any new movies and don’t even know what Bad Batch is

Andor however is a great show,

If they cast this person and basically said that it was part of a race of people that had no sex or genders and essentially bred asexually, it would be just part of the universe.


No way, man. That’s Star Trek shite. It’s the equivalent of exploring whether Chewbacca has a regular penis or one of those red rockets.

How can you be Non-Binary if you’re Transgender?

Non-Binary means you’re neither.

Transgender means you were one and became the other.

Did he/she start to transition and quit mid way through?

British actress Abigail Thorn is due to play Ensign Eurus in The Acolyte, making her Star Wars' first-ever transgender actor in a non-minor role.

Thorn joins an exclusive list of transgender actresses who have starred in a Lucasfilm project, becoming the second-ever trans actor after Talisa Garcia was cast in Wilow.


Women just keep losing to dudes.

Yes. The initial 3 were released at once because it’s setting up the rest of the season. Episode 4 starts a 3 episode heist arc. Give those 3 a shot and see if you like it better.

I believe you’re thinking of James Mangold’s recently announced movie.

Andor is like four 90 minute (3 episode) movies. It is a very slow build. I really pays off.

It really does. The season is kind of made in 3 episode clusters, and the first is definitely the slowest.

Star Wars jumped the shark with JarJar for me, haven't paid much attention since.

The Oracles of YouTube assured us that this series was dead.

No, one YouTuber said that it was a rumor and others said they'd wait for confirmation but they'd heard nothing through their various grapevines. A couple said they doubted it given all of the press and marketing they'd done for the show, including an hour long presentation at a major con.

Although, I think it's funny that people all over the internet were celebrating the mere rumor that she had been fired. Nice legacy, fatty.
