The three episode premier or Andor airs tomorrow 9/21 (or tonight at midnight Pacific time for the hardcore nerds ).
This thread is for discussing the show and, unavoidably, general bitching about the direction Disney is taking the franchise. Based on the trailers and how awesome Rogue One is, I have high hopes for this series. It can't be worse than Book of Boba Fett, right? ....Right? Like an abused spouse, I’m ready to be hurt again. Please keep the discussion to aired episodes. If spoilers get leaked about upcoming episodes, keep that shit out of here. Likewise, if you want to talk about how people shouldn't be giving money to Disney, feel free to start your own topic about that. I don't pay for Disney plus and frankly I'm tired of hearing about it. episode 1- 39 minutes episode 2- 35 minutes episode 3- 40 minutes episode 4- 47 minutes Andor | Official Trailer | Disney+ |

I just rewatched the haulcraft scene at half speed. The beams definitely do not look or sound like lightsaber blades

Star Wars Rebels - B-Wing vs. Imperial Blockade [1080p] Doubt it's a sith ship or lightsaber blades, I also doubt Luthen in a Sith or a Jedi or force sensitive. I'm willing to bet it's a form of Composite-Beam Laser cannon powered by the ship's hyperdrive like the Prototype B6 that was built by Quarrie on Shantipole and was the precursor to the A/SF-01 B-wing Heavy Assault Starfighter that would eventually be manufactured by Slayn & Korpil. The production B-Wings did not have the Composite-Beam Laser cannon, only the prototype. But it's entirely possible that technology was added to the Haulcraft used by Luthen. |

Show is terrible. Women in charge everywhere showing the males up, female leaders hyped up by the beta males, then they go lesbo. Then they kill off the minorities. Seems like they watched FireFly and liked the light sky scene and how Mal would just walk up and shoot you, no hesitation. Cassian dude is like a short statured, short tempered ritalin popping thief that like murdering. What's next, Cassian does a job for Jobba the hut and Han and Chewie fly his somewhere, ie, the cargo they lost is Cassians? May as well, because he dies in the other movie by that time.
