I haven't watched either and I feel like I'm missing something because so far I have no connection to what's going on and I'm not really enjoying it besides the lightsaber duels. It just all feel like a cartoon to me, and not in a good way.
I watched the catchup videos on YouTube, and what I've seen of the World between the Worlds thing just feels disappointing and lazy to me. There's no indication of it in any other movie or series and just seems to take away from the gravity that Andor has where real people are willing to die for a real cause.
Also, I fully expect Ahsoka to find the space ring thing with the map the seared onto her hand from the "hot" map ball.
I agree completely. I put it on par with Book of Boba Fett for me.
I would have been more impressed if Shin would have killed Sabine after Baylon gave his word that he wouldn't and that would have caused major tension / a rift between Baylon and Shin going forward that causes one of them to switch sides. I fully expect all good guys to come out unscathed at this point
You really need to go watch CW and Rebels. You're judging this without knowing where the story is coming from. They've written this taking a lot for granted that the audience knows about the characters. Without having seen those shows, you're missing all that and don't have the background on them to understand their choices or what to expect from them.
I'm enjoying the show immensely, but that's because I know the characters, what their relationships are to each other (except the brand new ones, of course) and what to expect from them. Frankly, it's a completely different vibe than watching it without any of that background.
