Why is no one talking about Andor

Spoiler

That show is prime topic territory and it seems wild no one is breaking down episodes or trying to forecast what's going on.

I'll start. Meero is a rebel plant. Syril will turn to a rebel after he gets locked up in jail cuz he can't stop pursuing Cassian and realized he's more morally aligned with them. Wildcard we get some sweaty 3 some with Cassian Meero, and Syril on Degobah

Bonus points If you can make me a trusted poster so I can post on rebelbase

It's a case of "too little, too late".

Disney released unremitting crap for over a decade and then people pretend to be shocked that no one's watching when something halfway decent finally drops.

The audience evaporated, along with their good will.

Because it's uninteresting and it's uninteresting because it's about a character that we shouldn't care about mostly because it contradicts most of what was said about Cassian in Rogue One and because he dies in Rogue One and I personally felt no attachment towards any of the characters in Rogue One with the exception of Bail Organa and Mon Mothma. And I especially hated Cassian because he acted more like a Stormtrooper than a Rebel. One thing that I think the Rebellion has forgotten is that people aren't unthinking Droids. They're people who are allowed to not follow orders that are just morally wrong.

So it's uninteresting cuz you know how it ends and you didn't like the movie it came from? What I'm curious about is that you criticize the rebels for being static but the main characters all seem to have depth and transitions going on.

My question was more about why this sub is dead and no one is talking about this show here. Cuz most people I know really enjoyed this show once they got thru a few episodes.

What's a better SW spinoff?

My point is that the Rebellion isn't supposed to be the same as the Republic. The Republic was flawed and the New Republic is supposed to be better and filled with better people. This whole "both sides are bad" narrative that Rogue One pushes doesn't work and doesn't make sense because if they are just as bad as the Empire, then why does the Rebellion exist at all and why does Luke Skywalker, a Jedi (someone who's supposed to be morally right all the time and someone who's the main character of almost every Star Wars story), side with the Rebellion? To me, it sounds like they're trying to make the Rebels out to be guys who aren't better than the Empire and that Imperial oppression is better than nothing, which is what they claim that the Rebel Alliance and the New Republic are giving the galaxy in terms of security. And that all sounds like pro-Empire and pro-dictatorship propaganda.

And like I said, I assume that no one is talking about Andor because it's about a character that no one should be invested in in the first place. I went into that series with an "I don't care" mindset and my mindset wasn't changed when I saw the rest of the series and the last episode.

As for the status of this Subreddit, eh...that happens to many old Subreddits all the time. Nothing is forever.

Ah, you're a good guy can't have flaws type. That seems very... Uninteresting... Like Superman. The reality is having moral grey areas doesn't make you as bad as your enemy. but I think one of the larger themes of this show will be about how much is too much before you become your enemy and what are the things that turn you to the other side.
