New Andor Trailer is Here, Series Debut Moved to September 21 With First Three Episodes

Awesomeness.

 

To be honest I didn't like the first teaser, but this trailer is awesome. The visuals are stunning (probably because they didn't use the Volume as much). I'm also intruiged about the the politcal theme.

This could be the best SW show so far.

I'm tired of hearing this... if Andor sucks then what???!!! we wait for the next one, and hope its good... did anyone like OBI-WAN????.....

Looking forward to Saw Guerrera... and WAR!!!

 

Shouldn't you have the urge or goal to become bette and better? It's an on going progress. IMO the next show should be better than the previous one. Learning from your mistakes and experience. 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' was already better than TBOBF, now I want 'Andor' to be even better.

 

I hate to nitpick. But I can't ignore the apparently unmodified and easily recognisable AK-47, type weapon carried by the guy about 8 seconds into the trailer.

In the OT, WWII era weapons were modified to make them look like they instantly belonged in the star wars universe but retained some of the qualities of their original design to make them still appear viable. Tell tall signs of the original design though were usually disguised or incoprorated in a different way so as not to instantly give the game away.

The weapon seen in the trailer looks virtually indistinguishable from the one we've seen on the TV news nearly every night for about fifty years (and on the A Team). With the tell tale banana shaped clip loaded in the usual place, the way the barrel is configured and everything. You'd be forgiven for thinking they just slipped footage from a report on Ukraine when you see that shot. (apart from the actor's ethnicity making that seem unlikely).

Anyway. It's probably no big deal in the scheme of things but it distracted me right away when I saw the trailer the first time.

 

What if you don't get what you want... and it sucks? wah-wah! wah-wah!! Your avatar suits you well sir

Mando 3 is up next, Feb. 2023

Is it the really the gun, that takes one out of the scene, or is it the ethnicity? I wonder?

 

Well, then I won't like it. I will talk about my dislikes and likes and move on. What's the big deal? There's plenty content which I like AND dislike.

Because that IS actually me in that costume. Haha!

 

Yes, I know I watched your fan film... hahaha... it suits you

 

As I said, the ethnicity of the actor is what made it not immediately resemble the familiar IRL scenario that I described. The weapon in fact almost completely distracted me from the character the first few times. If you'd told me it was an alien species or a droid holding the rifle after the first time I saw it, I probably would have believed you.

 

I think it looks pretty cool, I'm game for it.

Regarding the weapons- idk, it doesn't bother me. I'd assume that Star Wars hasn't had the same progression of firearms as our world has, so having weapons that appear to be WWII and modern inspired side by side shouldn't be that jarring.

In fact, I kinda like the idea that different factions might use weapons symbolic of their struggles- and Saw's partisans using stuff more reminiscent of modern political conflicts seems like it could be interesting.

 

HAHA, if you say so, sir! As you so eloquently did... Just wondering, because that particular shot bothers many...

 

I'm not aware of it bothering anyone else. Are they bothered by the AK? If not and they are bothered about something else then that's them and not me.
