Andor spoilers
We watched the finale. As usual, Disney has smeared all the excitement of a 2-hour Star Wars movie across a 10-hour series and I WANT MY 10 HOURS BACK!
In the words of Mon Mothma's husband, "Must everything be boring and sad?"
Save for a few action scenes, it was almost entirely padding. There were episodes where nothing happened. None of the characters developed. We just switched back and forth between three repeated scenes:
Mon Mothma: "I'm very elegant. I sure hope I don't get caught!"
Dedra Meero: "I'm very evil. I sure hope I catch somebody!"
Cassian Andor: "I'm very rugged. I sure get caught a lot!"
The mumbled dialogue didn't help.
Note that there is a post-credits scene for the last episode, but even I had guessed what is "revealed" there.
Other thoughts:
In the prison/factory, they made a huge deal of everybody holding their hands away from some dangerous step in the operation, but Chekov's OSHA Violation never went off.
I kind of hope Denise Gough, who played Meero, has fantastic range and has portrayed, say, a giggling heroine in a musical romantic comedy. Her Wikipedia page suggests this might be the case.
Do IRL right-wingers identify with the rebels or the empire? (I've read that they are more likely to play as the empire in Star Wars games.) Do they realize that Lucas originally intended the empire to represent the US army and the rebels the Viet Cong?
I've heard good things about Tales of the Jedi, but then you all told me Andor was fantastic, so I'm dubious.
