Andor | ST | Bodhis upon the gears
[incoming transmission]
Sup rebels.
I noticed a severe lack of discussion about the best Star Wars content under Disney thus far (imo), so I decided to create an ST.
As of now, the latest episode to air was Episode 9 - Nobody's Listening! and I'm dying to discuss it.

Why does this show feel so different from the other Disney+ Star Wars tv shows?
I'm not sure, but it very well be an intentional creative decision by those in charge.
According to an interview with Andor showrunner and head writer Tony Gilroy, he had asked everyone participating in the creation of the show to let go of their reverence for the property and just write what they know to be good. According to an interview with The Hollywood Reporter:
“In every department, we’ve had all kinds of people come in, and they know it’s Star Wars, so they change their behavior. They change their attitude. They change their thing,” Gilroy tells The Hollywood Reporter. “And you go, ‘Wait, no. Do your thing. You’re here because we want you to be real.’ So it’s a testament to the potent power of Star Wars. It really gets into people’s heads, but to change the lane and do it this way, it takes a little effort.”
Rules for participating in this ST
Also, I'd like to lay down a couple ground rules:
1. Please don't get too carried away comparing this show to the other Disney+ Star Wars tv shows. I want to think about Andor!
2. Spoilers for content up through the last episode aired are free game. However, please hide spoilers for upcoming episodes under spoiler tags.
