Andor S1 was the best Star Wars ever made. This trailer looks extremely disappointing… I hope I’m wrong.
Why disappointing? I think it looks promising,lalthough the chances of it reaching the heights of S1 are low.
Music and tone both seem off.
I think it was the music. Just seemed really out of place to me. Rewatched the season 1 trailer and it had the tone and feel I was hoping for here. Fingers crossed it was just a poor choice for this one trailer.
You inspired me to rewatch it myself. I think it perfectly depicts the tone and story of the show.

Really worries me about S2. Also, the quotes patting themselves on the back just further concerns me…
“The best Star Wars ever made”
Someone’s never seen The Phantom Menace.
Sometimes.
He was a turbo dick, never let off the pedal of being a turbo dick, the side stories were dumb, and pet the damn robot…
It was still pretty good by comparison to modern Star Wars, but Mando season 1 was best Star Wars and season 2 pretty good.
I firmly disagree that his story can only be understood as him being rude. I cannot comprehend liking Mando more than this or any of the other tv shows. But it seems we have different tastes.
Clone wars was best of Star wars, period
Nah, Empire is best
Nope
Also new hope is better than empire strikes back. Always hated the Hoth scenes
Well, yeah, that’s #1, but I assumed they meant live action.
I’m torn between rewarding the best thing they’ve done and stealing from Disney because that’s cool.
Stealing it is.
They monitor torrent numbers as a guide to success.
Win/Win
If I get caught I’ll just say it’s for my LLM
What? What kind of success metric is that? I can’t find a single source to corroborate what you said.
I remember reading about it years ago, around the time Game of Thrones was quite popular. Looks like it was 10 years ago. https://torrentfreak.com/media-companies-track-pirated-downloads-for-marketing-purposes-150218/
However, wouldn’t it be foolish of them not to look at what is being pirated? They love scooping up data. It is essentially free Neilson ratings.
Thanks for the link. Three thoughts:
- The entire article is an ad for a data product called Tru Optik, where the main selling point seems to be identifying revenue loss due to streaming.
- Netflix said they use torrent data to determine what series to acquire.
- Streaming services don’t need Nielsen data, since they already have direct viewer data.
It’s probable streaming services look at this data, but I was specifically questioning the “using it as a success metric” part. Their two main success metrics are direct viewer data and subscriptions.
Netflix literally said they use the data to see what series to pay for. That is another way of saying they monitor torrents for success.
Look, it’s ok to disagree, but you don’t need to ask for evidence for everything you read on the Internet that doesn’t affect you personally.
If that evidence is offered, it’s ok to just admit you are surprised and/or wrong.
Streaming services only have data on their own streams.
You don’t need to become patronizing, especially when it’s something so small. It’s a discussion thread. Your framing sounded unlikely to me, I asked for more information, and it still sounds unlikely by my read. We discussed it, and now we can move on.
Yes, I’m happy to. My point is that your tone was unnecessary and rude. Perhaps unintentionally.
My brusqueness was a tone shift. Yours started from the get-go. So your whiplash from the change was my first impression of you.
Just food for thought for future interactions and starting a discussion from a point of incredulity and dismissal.
Thought that thumbnail was a joke when I first saw it, like someone had pasted Luna’s head on Mon’s husband’s body. Still looks a bit off, but I guess it’s a “you walk in, act like you belong” reference.
All I need now is for someone to make it April 22nd already. By science or magic, I’m not fussed.
You’re doing better than me. I thought it was Ricky
They are going all in on the ‘Nam aesthetic.
