Such a simple scene, but one that gets me even more excited. Two great actors delivering great dialogue, real, tangible sets that look grungy and lived in, a scene that looks like it was actually shot on film, etc. Can't wait!

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan i missed you Diego Luna but I didn't realize how much i did until i finally got some dialogue in a real scene....

Just like Ewan McGregor was perfect for young Obi-wan, this guy is perfect as a grungy, zero F's given, im gonna do whatever is necessary to bring down the empire attitude that is needed.

so excited to see this character again!!!

We just watched in a big home theatre system in an Airbnb a few weekends ago or else we'd be there

It is crazy that outside of mos vespa, the TV shows have perfectly captured the look and feel of what I want out of star wars while none of the prequels did and only a few locations in the ST came close.

I feel like you have that backwards.

The prequels looked like ass.

Are we talking cinematography? Or locations. Two different things.

Agree to disagree, but I love some of the prequel locations, especially Naboo and Coruscant.

Some great ones in the sequels too, as much as I dislike TROS.

Most of the Obi-Wan locations were extremely boring and unimaginative, most of Boba Fett, and a lot of Mando even.

Naboo was fine. It was clean and safe which it should have been.

Everything else was too clean and new. Especially Coruscant. Coruscant should have been more blade runner and less Tomorrowland

This is what I'm hoping for Coruscant in Andor.

The Senate and upper crust areas should be shiny and clean, and the should be exactly how you describe.
You could honestly set a show entirely on Coruscant, with all the levels of society that it has.

That is such an excellent clip

Oh I know. I wish the Coruscant series had been made. I think it would have been great.

Agree, but that scene looks like some warehouse at the Port of New York. Still, can't wait to watch this. And can't wait for the inevitable disappointment it will engender on this thread.

Actually shot on film is the key to me. So much of the TV shows have looked great, but so much has also looked like TV. Star Wars, even if it's a tv show, should look like a film and I'm very thankful Andor seems to have captured that.

Love that clip. So much potential - still have very little expectations though.

I know this area they're in. There's no way there's not 8 meth labs within 1,000 yards of them in any direction.

I will never understand how something like Andor gets seemingly all the money in the world, a 12-episode first season, an early season two commitment, shoots abroad on location, hardly uses the Volume, and every frame so far looks like a movie - while a character as beloved as Obi-Wan Kenobi gets a minimal budget, only six episodes, is shot on digital shaky cam, and they're basically like, "Eh, Simi Valley will do. Everything else we can shoot in the Volume by someone who has no idea how to shoot in the Volume."

It's frankly unbelievable.

What's really crazy is how incredibly good it was despite all that!

Two thoughts.
One, its also disappointing because there is another StarWars show that uses the Volume correctly...but seemingly none of the other shows can.

Two.
Real Bros of Simi Valley is great

I have this weird feeling Andor will end up being the best show despite no one wanting it.

Will be better than Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan for sure. And while it may never reach the highs of Mando, I think it'll be a better all around show for a number of reasons. The cast is too good and there's just too much great talent behind the camera for it to be anything less.

I'm a big fan of Diego Luna. I also kind of look like him, I'm told.

I will never not picture Diego Luna racing a Dodge Charger or whatever when talking to you to now.
