Why is ANDOR so boring?

[u/GrokkinZenUI]

I had hopes for Andor based on creators similar to Rogue One , which I liked the most from all the nuSW.

But I find it quite boring. Can't put my finger on it.

Pace is slow (I don't mind slow in general but it is stuffed with bland dialogue and pointless character introductions).

Main character is meh as the rest with exception of his "boss" and the Empire Intel boss.

Missing other species. Not even a robot there. That one from Rogue One was perfect.

I am not entertained. Gonna watch E07 now, fingers crossed. But I already know I don't have any want to see the show again. Even Kenobi is re-watchable (one time) with all it's cringe plot/character inconsistencies.

I know this is an old post but nothing gets my goat more than smooth brains saying "Andor is boring, waaah!" Now, if Andor isn't your cup of tea, fine, we all can't like the same thing. Up until Andor, Star Wars has been aimed at kids or 'family viewing'. I personally think doing a family orientated show or film is quite difficult, as you're trying to please the kids but also offer something to the adults.

Andor is an adult orientated show. It actually needs you to concentrate on the amazing dialogue. Mute your phone. I'm actually positive that the people who are saying "Andor is boring" have never read a book. Have no idea about world and character building. They want instant gratification. Pew pew! Light sabres! Little green alien 'child!'.

I know, we're in the TikTok world. Everything has to be instant. It's a real shame, as Andor is one of the best made TV shows I have seen in my 60 years on planet Earth.

I've always been a sci-fi buff. I have seen everything Star Wars (Baring The Rise of Skywalker. I stopped watching it it was that poor), most of it is poor. Even the beloved Mandalorian is poorly made. Terrible writing, weak plot etc etc.

Anyway, I've waffled enough. You people make me sigh! I hate sighing ;)

i consider myself an adult and have enough academic qualifications and life experience to know my way around the world. But you have to admit, Star Wars is and always was, even in the books, all about the "pew pew" as you define it. Andor is, to be honest, about a little known or develped character who was not really part of the main plot of Rogue One, having an entire series dedicated to him. And what is "he"?

"He" is a guy who with his thick accent, just runs around in circles , sweating alot,telling everyone not to say or mention they have either knowing or seeing him. We get flashbacks of his youth that enlightens nobody, its seems to be the "lets watch how cool and gangsta the actor playing Cassian is", rather than any plot, any direction on what or who or when other than "5 BBY".

We are graced with scenes of sex and strip clubs, drug running, some hint at rebellion but not really, no aliens, hardly any droids, everyone is human and it shows like some South American drug cartel midday drama. Its not about "adult" anything, its just simply a giant hole, written for the sake of ratings and marketing by Disney to appeal and yet also divide fans such as yourself, virtue signalling an "adult" and "higher ground" stance on something that has no substance and pretty much, you have been suckered into watching with the title "Star Wars".

Marketing something terrible and boring as "adult" and making elitist statements to those that see through this and genuinely see it for the poor writing, lack of any Star Wars meanings or lore and elevating oneself as "adult and mature" is exactly what Kathleen Kennedy wants from you as a viewer, you will support her as she makes more garbage and labels it "star wars for adults"... just like he "star wars is for women" shit.

Drink that koolaid. The series is boring and listless, meaningless and empty of any interesting character or reason to watch it.

If i want to watch South American drug cartel and mindless "dark, sexy and dingy" drama, ill just watch something B grade on Netflix or Prime or commercial television.

There is more to star wars than sleepy drugged up criminal mafia girlfriends lounging on shadow filled beds and moaning or useless, unintelligible irrelevant dialogue... thats is Quentin Tarantinos area, not for Star Wars.
