Star Wars: Andor - A Gritty, Grounded Masterpiece | Review & Thoughts

Post by SADAF234 »

Hey fellow Star Wars fans!

Just wrapped up watching Andor, and I have to say — this series completely redefines what a Star Wars story can be. Far from the Jedi lightsaber duels and Skywalker legacy, Andor dives deep into the rebellion’s early days, showing the gritty, morally complex world that birthed the fight against the Empire.

🔍 What Stood Out

Storytelling: This isn’t your typical Star Wars tale. It's methodical, mature, and incredibly well-written. The political and social layers are rich and relevant.

Cinematography: Easily one of the best-shot Star Wars shows to date. Every frame feels like a piece of cinema.

honestly, the supporting cast (Stellan Skarsgård, Fiona Shaw, and Kyle Soller especially) elevate this to a whole new level.

Tone & Pacing: It’s a slow burn — more espionage thriller than space opera — but once you’re in, it’s hard to look away.

🛑 Not for Everyone?
If you’re expecting lightsaber battles, Force ghosts, or droids with comic relief — this show might feel too serious. But for fans craving something new and daring in the galaxy far, far away, Andor delivers.

🌟 Rating: 9/10
This is Star Wars for grown-ups — mature, thought-provoking, and full of tension. It doesn’t rely on nostalgia, it builds its own identity. And it absolutely works.
