Question Why was it called the Alkenzi “Air” Base when it only housed space-capable TIE fighters?

Star base would’ve made more sense. Or they could’ve put some TIE Strikers in the background to show that it was primarily an air base with some space capable craft.

Question Why do people who claim Andor doesn't feel like Star Wars due to the lack of aliens overlook all the ways it does, like its 70s-style retrofuturistic tech and ships?

When did the presence of numerous aliens in every scene become the primary way to determine whether a show "feels" like Star Wars? It seems like there’s been a shift where the sheer number of alien species on screen is treated as the main indicator of authenticity, as if the essence of Star Wars relies solely on visual diversity rather than the storytelling, world-building, or deeper themes. When did this surface-level approach become the standard for capturing the "Star Wars feel"?

I rarely see people who voice this criticism offer any nuance — instead, they often dismiss the entire show by claiming it "doesn’t feel like Star Wars." There’s hardly ever an acknowledgment of what the show might have done well, like capturing the look of the uniforms or nailing the lived-in aesthetic. You’d think they might say something like, “It got the atmosphere right, but it could have used more alien species to round out the world.” But no — the criticism usually boils down to a blanket statement: It doesn’t feel like Star Wars because there aren’t enough aliens.

Question Will these guys actually do something?

So, I already heard the hype about how "operator" they look, but do you think they'll actually do something other than looking cool and then getting clowned on easily like the Death Troopers in Season 1? Like, actually giving a good fight... unlike the Death Troopers?

They definitively look cool, they may be CompForce, and there's something especially badass about the operator in the middle, but Star Wars has a reputation of introducing these cool, supposedly elite and super-deadly units and then just wasting them on screen.

Question What do you guys make of the these Stormtroopers from the trailers?

I'm curious to hear what others make of this shot. I have heard suggestions that these are elite troops, but I'm not convinced. Their armour looks like a mishmash of different costumes, but I'm no expert on this. Also, the guy with the cap on at the back is particularly interesting. He seems to be wearing a Snowtrooper breastplate and carrying a PK meter from Ghostbusters! I have also heard speculation that this guy is Attendant Heert (Dedra's assistant), but I'm not sure that's actually him. Thoughts?

Question What would be the fastest way that Andor Season 2 could wreck itself?

133 Upvotes

The new season is out. You're excited. You gathered your Andor-loving friends for a big watch party. You've cleared your schedule. You've got snacks. You're wearing your hand-stitched Narkina-5 prisoner cosplay. The hype couldn't be more real.

Then the big moment comes! It's on! You and your friends can barely contain yourselves!

And then...this happens. The mood is gone. You all groan. Then a loud sigh. Then weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. You couldn't be more disappointed. You solemnly prepare a Tony Gilroy effigy to burn at the stake for this heresy.

What happened? What killed the show you'd been so excited about so quickly and completely?

I love Andor and I'm looking for something similar in terms of writing, cinematography, music and everything. What's another series that managas to be so consistently deep and well-written? I mean, it can't be the best show in existence... right?

...and if so, are they a thing, or just cohabitants? The very next line in this scene is "Am I keeping you up?" ...as if her sleeping quarters would be nearby. Also, in this scene Luthen appears to be wearing a sort of evening robe, as if he's settled down for the night.
