      I mean they did have to accelerate to Rogue One in the number of episodes they were given.

      The last episodes were done very well in my opinion. It covered the rest of how much tyranny harms itself and creates the links necessary for Rogue One and a New Hope.

      So wait, is Andor still worth a watch? If the ending is broken like you describe, is it still satisfying to watch until the end?

        The ending is great, don’t listen to the haters. The decision to stop after a second season wasn’t some penny pinching assault on creativity. Even when the plan was 5 seasons, some actors said they wanted their characters to be done after 2. Diego Luna was on Kimmel recently talking about his lack of desire to stay comitted to 5 seasons of a show that takes so long to produce a single season.

        So instead of the typical stuff where streamers string us along with short 6-7 episode seasons, we got 12 total episodes that basically played like 4 small movies.

        Very much so. It’s the most gritty Star Wars since Rogue One (unsurprisingly since it’s the same story).

        I went back to watching the Mandalorian after finishing Andor and it isn’t as good in comparison, it’s too Disneyfied (I maintain that the show was created for the express purpose of selling Baby Yoda merch).

        The first season of Andor is some of the best TV I have ever watched. Its incredibly well done.

        The second season is still good, just not great. Apparently there were originally supposed to be 5 seasons, and it kind of shows that they compacted it all into two. The highs of season 2 are on par with season 1, but its just not as consistently excellent.

        The ending isn’t a grand finale, but it can’t be. The grand finale is Rogue One. I didn’t have a problem with it because I always had RO in mind as the last, extra long episode.

        1000% still worth a watch. Easily the best Star Wars content to have come out in the Disney era by a mile.
