I thought they were planning on about 4 seasons?

They were, but Gilroy decided he didn't want to be tied to a project that long. So they took the story ideas they had and condensed them down into four 3 episode chapters. Each chapter will be released per week

Solid first 3 episode chapter. Nothing explosive, but a lot of subtle, character driven stuff. The settings and cinematography are gorgeous.

I just finished the second chapter yesterday.

Organa’s story this season BETTER be important. I hate recasts, but I especially hate them if they are just lazy. And this one just feels lazy so far.

Damn. Episode 8 is just as good, if not better, than One Way Out from Season 1.

I am just watching ep 7 right now. The season is slow going, but still pretty good. I think I may do a full rewatch when this season finishes.

I gotta finish ep 9 tomorrow to complete the chapter, but so far its been the best chapter by a long shot not that the other were bad. So far my opinion is I wish they amended their idea of doing chapters. I know they didn't want to do 5 seasons as originally planned, but if they could have met in the middle and did 3, that feels like it would have been better. The events of the first 6 episodes could have been spread out and expanded upon in Season 2. Then Season 3 could have been whatever episodes 7 thru 12 entail

And maybe they wouldn’t have had to recast Senator Organa.

Finished it.

Wow.

The first 6 episodes (or two chapters ever how you want to say it) are a little slow but still good. The final 6 episodes though? Fan fucking tastic.

The final 2 episodes were REALLY slow, but they had a lot of weaving to do to tie the show into Rogue One and the original trilogy. I would have liked for them to show more of Andor interaction with the guy he killed at the start of R1, but I guess, at the end of the day, that wasn’t really needed. We saw that he had become fully invested in the rebellion, and he learned that level of cut throat from dealing with Lucien.

I am disappointed with the lack of story given to Organa. Why do a super awkward recast if you weren’t going to use the character more than what they did. If he weren’t there, would the story have really been any different?

And they totally dropped the love-lorn-lesbian character after the first chapter. Very oddly handled.

Who was the old chic Andor was making eyes with at the very end as he was leaving Yavin? I got the sense we were supposed to know her, but I couldn't place her.
