It’s also very much Andor’s story, which makes sense given that this is a show called Andor. Sure, it’s a little slow at times, only really picking up in the excellent third episode, but at least it’s not a jumbled mess that doesn’t make any sense. The story is also far better than Obi-Wan’s. The sets are slick and well-realized and brimming with aliens, droids and futuristic machinery. The cinematography is terrific with lush camera shots perfectly complimenting a rousing original score. It’s very bizarre to see such a massive gap in quality between the two.Īndor feels expensive. Everything from the CGI to the world-building to the fight scenes and, perhaps most importantly, the script is far, far superior to the clunky, confused Obi-Wan show.

Andor himself is a relatively unimportant character in the big scheme of things, yet this is a TV show that has clearly been given a much more skillful and loving treatment than the famous Jedi’s own Disney+ outing. Indeed, just about everything in Andor is far superior to just about everything in Obi-Wan Kenobi, which is very odd. I won’t go into too much detail, but the third episode’s action sequences are top-notch, a far cry better than anything in Obi-Wan Kenobi, which managed to make a lightsaber duel between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader boring somehow.
When the security guards touch down and begin searching for Andor, the entire workforce comes alive, banging on anything that will make a sound, alerting everyone to the danger. What follows is a fascinating clash between the workers and the fascistic security forces that operate as little more than an extension of the Empire. In the present timeline, Andor is betrayed by his friend Bix’s (Adria Arjona) boyfriend, Timm Karlo (James McArdle) and soon Karn and his corpo goons are after him. When he’s separated from his companions and knocked unconscious, a woman named Maarva Andor (Fiona Shaw) takes him with her off the planet and adopts him as her son. He’s part of a primitive culture that seems to be entirely comprised of children (the whereabouts of the adults is a mystery, though I suspect they were pressed into slavery by the mining company, or killed off). In the backstory flashbacks, we discover that Andor comes from a little-known planet that was destroyed in some mining accident long ago.
