Wow just goes to show the west is lost to communism. Woke and broke, smdh.
This is good even for people that couldn't give a shit about star wars?
Yes it is actually amazing. Best star wars media since the original trilogy by FAR. It actually stands on its own very very well too as just a cool as sci-fi action/political thriller.
Story about the russian revolution piggybacking on Star Wars as a property in order to get made. It does not give a shit about being Star Wars and that's a good thing.
andor is the best star trek show in decades
Its legit one of the best shows of the last 10 years for me.
Ok, thanks, I'm going to give it a try.
You should pirate it. Disney + is under BDS boycott.
How dare you think that I would do different.

One of the beauties is that all the Star Wars stuff like Jedi, Sith, lightsabers, chosen ones, the force, etc are all missing from the show. The only thing you will see is the Death Star, but it's brief. It focuses on the politics between working class, rebels, and the Empire's version of CIA/FBI/DHS. There is also a little bit of "we must pass the Senate bill" type political stuff too. Since it's an undetermined past in a galaxy far, far away, they can freely borrow from real history without worrying about chronology. They mix a bunch of different elements like young Stalin, Cuban Revolution, Nicaragua, Manhattan Project, Battle of Blair Mountain/Coal Wars, all at the same time. Plus since they can just hop on a ship and go to another planet, real geography is no obstacle. There is a Nazi Invasion of France planet and a modern day American midwest planet where immigrants workers are harassed by space ICE.
Absolutely, if anything it's even better cause the people that give too much of a shit about star wars aren't into it cause it doesn't do fanservice bullshit. It tells a fantastic story
girl the boycott...
There's a boycott?
Disney is on the BDS list
Disney+ specifically I’m pretty sure, not even all of Disney
It's confusing since they only directly mention that Captain America movie. Maybe they've updated something, but I'm too stupid to find it.
Disney
The Disney-owned Marvel Studios (US) is promoting in the next Captain America film a “superhero” that personifies apartheid Israel. Both companies are therefore complicit in “anti-Palestinian racism, Israeli propaganda, and the glorification of settler-colonial violence against Indigenous people,” as Palestinian cultural organizations have stated.
That aside, I'd boycott the mouse 
What superhero?
Think her name is Sabra
Yeah she was named (in 1980) for the prickly pear, but there was a massacre at Sabra and Shatila in 1982 Lebanon of Palestinians and Shia-Lebanese by Christian militias aided by the IDF. Marvel never changed her name.
Sabra
The shitty hummus?
Some obscure Zionist super hero that has lots of racist depictions of Middle Easterners as terrorists https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Ruth_Bat-Seraph_(Earth-616)
Isn't Israel in the Middle East?
I'll give you a hint, they're not depicting Israelis as terrorists in those awful comics (despite being the ones committing a genocide)
sounds like people are forgetting about piracy... sad
I've got my pirated copy ready to watch
I am quite enjoying season 2, though I found the first two episodes sluggish, just like season 1.
I've found the while season to be kinda sluggish so far. I still really like it, but I'm feeling a bit let down, i like a slow burn but this seems like a lot of buildup to something we already know about without much excitement in the meanwhile. The intruigue is fun and good, but we'd gotten a full Aldani heist by this point with last season. I also feel like each 3 episodes being a year apart isn't really working since the 3 episode arcs are less distinct than last season and it feels like it could just be like a week or so between them, showing the overall conditions change year to year with background details etc make the passage of time feel like it. I still am really enjoying it but Season 1 set a really high standard and I criticize on a curve
I've been thinking of it as 4 Andor movies rather than a second season, tbh.
To me season 1 felt like that more than this one. There isn't much distinction between the arcs this time, I've found.
