I know — I’m late to this party but if you have the traditional Star Wars background and you suddenly gain full access to Andor… just do it! It’s likely in the top ten of all televisions series by itself, but when you top it off with Rogue One… it’s sublime. True art in its finest manifestation! The pairing is simply breathtaking.

I saw Rogue One in the theaters and clocked it as the finest of all the Star Wars movies — and to rewatch it after Andor and ten years… just one of the finest media viewing experiences of my life.

And Rogue One experts: is the director of Rogue One directly referencing Blue Velvet’s Frank when Sol Guerrero hits his gas?? How did I not notice this the first time. It’s amazing — and like Frank, the gas makes him crazy. It’s too close not to be intentional. Anyway… forgive me — I’m having a media high. Just want to share that! Go… do this… and may the force be with you.

    Yeah I have been watching older shows and films. Even if they are not great its not costing me anything and its at least in general original.

        I have been watching a lot of broadcast tv and things like son of sven and many movies are just kinda interesting. Like this how to make a monster has sorta a different take on horror but I saw “Quigley Down Under” again and I have seen that few times and like. I mean its not great like lotr but its just kinda different and its from the 90’s but feels like it could have been made much earlier. Im not even big on westerns.
