I used to pray for times like this

Aglio Olio

Guys, should i watch this show? Is it good?

BigJo H

Let’s goooooo. Also if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask us.

Isaac

I'm starting with you! I've never seen it. We can be lost together lol

hman70

We have friends everywhere! There is no world where you girls don't love this show, enjoy the ride <3

Eric Viola

Andor? I hardly know her !

Raphgod7

Yea, it's generational

sand_fl

yeah, literally just got home! really exited about this one. i only have a couple episodes left of s2.

HenryM

This is where the fun begins

Brakthir

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS LETS FREAKING GO

My Toasty Toast

Credits….Misallocated Kalkite….Foliated Blue Noodles….Decimated Enthusiasm….Calibrated

Jason

Firefly keeps getting screwed.

Robert Dirk H.

My interpretation: Pre-Mor Security Inspection team = ICE agents in the US. Fat, stupid, power hungry, more focused on exerting control and punishing normal people than on security.

Daniel Molina

An original trilogy rewatch after Andor & Rogue One hits DIFFERENT 😮‍💨 & yes Rogue One after Andor is a must, its essentially the series finale

Daniel Molina

Jealous you can watch this for the first time

Michael Kay

Yay, Andor! Can't wait to see how you guys like it. I hate the term (Blank) for Adults! but it is like the most adult and relevant show on streaming right now.

My Toasty Toast

What if I told you that Disney did not change

Robert Dirk H.

The pre-discussion was so funny to watch. And it's funny how both of them watched more Star Wars than me. Never finished a Star Wars Movie and I only watched 20 minutes of the first and about an hour of number 7 :D

hman70

As a life long SW fan the fact that this private security firm was the villain here might be what hooked me the most. They're not storm troopers, they're not literal nazis, they're corpo-cops--the violent arm of capitalist oligarchs that is allowed to exist because of lack of direct oversight from the empire itself. The Empire's boot is hovering over our characters without a single imperial character ever needing to be seen!

sand_fl

funniest thing is that they didn't like The empire strikes back, which is my favourite out of the 11 movies

Aglio Olio

Nice, it’s on my watchlist now!

hman70

B.B.Y. is how years are recorded in starwars lol it stands for "Before Battle of Yavin" which is the final battle of episode 4 when Luke blew up the Death Star (Also the year Rogue One takes place, the movie Cassian is from) So this is 5 years before Rogue One & A New Hope, 14 years after Revenge of the Sith

Robert Dirk H.

The Korean at the beginning cracked me up. I didn't even realize it at first because they speak so often in an alien language, I thought that was the case here too :D

My Toasty Toast

I haven’t watched the reaction yet but saying they didn’t like ESB is like saying they didn’t like Cowboy Bebop excuse me? The Han Solo and Leia dynamics is so Spike and Faye coded (different vibes obv)

Kara

I'm genuinely crying laughing.... this is the most insane context for an Andor reaction possible! Milena thought it was a MARVEL SHOW! for years she's been like "oh yeah Andor, he's friends with Spider-Man". Lola and Milena both watched A New Hope 5 years ago + liked it but hated Empire Strikes Back because it focused "too much on Luke (boring!)" and stopped. Lola remembers pop culture details but Milena can't remember who Darth Vader is. They're trying to figure out if Star Wars has 'super powers'... "there's the mandalorian with the green person Yubo", Lola has seen JYN/CASSIAN EDITS FROM ROGUE ONE!!! i'm dead 💀💀💀 in a million years i would not have guessed this context. its perfect 🥺🙏 this might be the greatest project for the channel yet. the YouTube comments are going to be unhinged. lets fucking gooooooo

BigJo H

The pre discussion was so funny

Kara

its peak man

mundanelotus

true and its extra scummy considering the context of the show

Daniel Molina

Some helpful lore to know the show wont teach you. This series starts 14 years after the formation of the Empire. Prior to that, the Empire was a Galactic Republic with an elected chancellor & senators from each planet. So when anyone refers to “the republic” that is what they are talking about. The republic was at war with a faction of planets called “the separatists” that wanted to break free from them. That war ended when the empire formed, and the empire has ruled unchecked since. How that republic became the empire…well thats a story for another time ;) Enjoy :)

BigJo H

Look how much they got from just this episode. I’m gonna love these reactions so much

SwampFox95

Lmao at how clueless they are on Star Wars in the intro, but I’m loving every minute. Will be a fascinating watch.

Damien Fenton

It reminds me of Malcolm from The Thick Of It describing Star Wars: "The one about the fucking hairdresser, the space hairdresser and the cowboy. The guy, he's got a tin foil pal and a pedal bin. His father's a robot and he's fucking fucked his sister. "

Darrach

I mentioned in some comment section a while back that the general audience watching Andor has significantly more baseline knowledge about Star Wars than these two will do. Will make for a unique reaction series to be sure lol

Damien Fenton

I've known about Star Wars pretty much my whole life so it is difficult for me to view Andor through the eyes of people with limited knowledge of it, but I think Andor is crafted so that newcomers to the franchise won't be lost. That is certainly one of the strengths of the show.

SwampFox95

I couldn’t care less about Jimmy Kimmel but I’ll boo Disney with you lol. They’ve been evil for a while and it’s a miracle anything like Andor exists in spite of it.

SwampFox95

It wasn’t until Andor that I realized I apparently have a type, and that type is ‘anti-authoritarian sci-fi.’ They should definitely see Firefly when they get a chance.

Kara

that's one of my all-time favorite scenes lmao. "lego, they're all made of fuckin lego"

Sam

Started the Andor reactions in Korean is a first in a reaction I’ve seen😂 But in all seriousness you guys were able to key in on so many themes from this first episode that I have no doubt you’ll love the show by ep 3

Michael M

It's a huge strength that they know so little about the universe. It'll make for great content.

ryany

Haven't watched the full yet, but that intro was absolutely fantastic!

Kara

not sure what you mean, they know "Han Solo", "Yuba the Frog" and "Zendaya from Dune", that's loads

Chidi.

This will be funny. I'll watch along as I have a close friend who has an acting and speaking part in S1 but I've never bothered or found time to watch him in it. 🫣

Dimitron

I have some star wars knowledge(watched every movie and 2 seasons of mandalorian). Do I need to watch anything else before Andor?

SoClose

Out of all the brilliant shows they could be watching rn, you dorks got them reacting to paint drying. 😭

Threj

what a dorky comment

HenryM

I cannot stop laughing at Yuba the frog, someone send help

Raphgod7

The girls tryna recall the name of Yoda was absolutely gold😅

Kara

48% of patrons voted for them to watch paint dry yeah. and it's running alongside "boring slow" Mad Men which they love! We're in the paint drying era and there's nothing you can do about it 🥰🎨

Eric

Imagine being you

Eric

I love it.

Mike

Get lost

Eric

Nope. All you "need" is Rogue One. If you've seen that you're good.

refo44

For first-time watchers, I want to say this: like all the best stories, Andor is a deliberate slow burn. It takes its time setting up the world and introducing the characters and their way of life, but it is worth it 100%. This is great writing

Michael M

And the Emmy goes to: Paint Drying

Kara

Driest Paint for a Drama Series

QuasiRNG

ah yes the lesser known K-Drama Andor!!

Mike

It seems like they know... the perfect amount? They know about stormtroopers and Darth Vader but not about jizz or pod racing or midichlorians. Sounds good to me.

Mike

Basically: Yes, political power in the galaxy has been consolidated under an emperor. This is a relatively new development. The galaxy was still a republic fifteen years ago. Nominally, this Galactic Empire governs the entire galaxy... but the galaxy is huge, so it has less actual control and oversight on relative backwater planets like Morlana One and Ferrix.

Jesse S

Oh boy I’ve been waiting for this reaction for years this is my favourite show of all time ❤️❤️❤️😀😀😀

Mike

The bulldog unit commander guy intro'd next episode is what got me. Exactly the kind of looking-for-a-fight ICE meathead who is currently anonymously patrolling around the US and abducting people. Perfectly realized.

Mike

condemned to use the tools of the enemy, etc.

Berezant

Having only watched the intro so far, I'll say it again: Andor may take place in Star Wars but it isn't interested in the same things as the rest of the franchise. The rest of Star Wars only cares about bloodlines and magic, and only moves in the grand scope of mythology. If George Lucas directed Fellowship, you wouldn't have one frame with hobbits, and it would exclusively feature Aragorn and Gandalf. Tony Gilroy, on the other hand, is entirely interested in bureaucracies and ordinary people. He takes the world and characters seriously, and wants to show the 'slow struggle against systems of injustice'. Honestly, the difference couldn't be more stark, and it makes recommending this show a bit tricky to people with very valid pre-existing opinions about Star Wars. I'm glad you're going in with little information honestly.

Mike

That seems a little unfair to Lucas, at least early on. ANH is as Hero's Journey as it gets, and Lucas didn't decide to make Vader a Skywalker until he was writing ESB. Back in 1977, it really was just a story about a rando moisture farmer who saves the galaxy.

Berezant

I'm struggling to see how we disagree. A rando chosen by magic who saves the galaxy is indeed a mythological story. I suppose bloodlines only feature in five of his six star wars films, I'll give you that. :)

Jesse S

I don’t get how people say andor is boring it’s like the most exciting show I’ve ever seen

Kara

Andor takes place between the prequels and the original trilogy, so you've already seen the main context. it's technically a direct prequel to Rogue One but the girls will likely want to watch that at the end so you can follow along with them if you want.

Mike

Luke wasn't really "chosen by magic". That's not how the Force worked in the first movie. And to say that Lucas wasn't interested in politics is just silly. He explicitly modelled the Rebellion & Empire dynamic on Vietnam. Obviously this is a more mature (and grounded) take on the franchise, but "George Lucas didn't care about ordinary people" isn't fair at all. The main character in the series was, at least in the first instalment, an ordinary person. Andor is an incredible show. It has an important thesis, told passionately. But the "Finally, some *real politics* in Star Wars" comments can get a little old.

Berezant

I'm really not sure who you're arguing with, but it's not me. Mythological storytelling isn't the absence of politics, it's a different sort of politics. Focusing on kings and chosen ones is political. Saying a hero is a descendant of a villain is political. It's politics and perspectives of power all the way down! I grew up being taught the theory of great men of history, so it's not as interesting to me in my fiction, but that doesn't make it invalid or something. Hell, it's like 90% of stories, we can have and enjoy this one.

My Toasty Toast

You’re not a true Star Wars fan if you don’t know about Luke’s evil clone Luuke (yes this was a thing)

Berezant

Rewatching this episode for the first time in a while, it's crazy how much Cassian's superpower is talking. After the inciting incident, this episode consists mainly of him going to every contact he knows, and calling on every possible favor. Even as he's being told by every single person they've had enough of his shit, he still manages to mostly get everything he wants. Even Brasso, the friendliest of the bunch, says he won't lend him any money unprompted. 😂 You really get the sense people have been carrying water for him for a very long time. Also the scene with the inspector complaining about timing of the 'accident' due to an impending regional command review and crime rates could have been taken right from The Wire. It was uncanny.

jweher

I knew general Star Wars knowledge because it’s so huge in pop culture but Andor was the first star wars thing i ever watched and i loved it. I then proceeded to watch Rogue One. Yesterday i finished the last of the prequel movies after making my way through all 6 original movies so i guess i’m a star wars fan now (and a prequel trilogy defender). Despite its flaws i was charmed by the prequel trilogy, but maybe that’s because Anakin was exactly my type of character (if you like Eren Yeager and Paul Atreides then you’ll probably like Anakin). I’m a sucker for characters who spiral into villainy. I’m about to start The Clone Wars animated series and read the novelization of the prequels and possibly read a few comics recommended to me by mutuals. I’ve been completely sucked in, be careful girls 😭

Luis

If you want to see a film following the end of the series the best follow-up isn't Rogue One it's Y Tu Mama Tambien. Stars a very young Diego Luna and is subtly anti-capitalist and anti-fascist.

jweher

When my sister and i watched it and they mentioned “the emperor” we were like “omg they mentioned darth vader!!” so it’s an interesting experience for people who vaguely know the story of star wars lol. I’ve since undergone a serious education in star wars (watched the movies)

jweher

My level of knowledge watching Andor was on par with Lola’s and i thought that was the basic knowledge anyone would have, then Milena hit me with the “i thought it was marvel” and i knew this reaction was gonna be peak in ways i couldn’t imagine.

Mahni Alizadeh

Ok not likening Empire Strikes Back is crazy. Still love you guys tho

Sebastian

fwiw i think episode 3 is the moment that hooks most people to the story. also as a frame of reference andor s1 takes place 5 years before the events of E4 A New Hope (1977). other than that really excited for this journey, i dont think it’s hyperbole to say it’s one of the best series ever (as well as being incredibly prescient to our political reality atm unfortunately)

Sebastian

+1 for y tu mama tambien i loved it

jweher

right? the superior movie!

maurizio piras

oh no 24 episodes of trash star wars

Mark M

Finally! I love Rogue One so would love a reaction. Even if Lola has seen it, I think you'd see it in a new light after Andor. Andor -> Rogue One -> A New Hope have a direct continuation, although the first two were made as prequels to the former. I'm making assumptions though as I still haven't watched season 2. First season is great though, they'll definitely love it.

Mark M

I thought of The Wire too lol. There you go giving a fuck when it ain't your turn....

Raphgod7

The last a few seasons of Clone War were really good. Rebels and Bad batch were the follow up animated series after Clone War.

Luis

You both might need to rewatch The Wire. Two cops being murdered would not in any way be brushed away or even thought of being brushed away.

petitcorbeau

Nah I thought my knowledge about star wars was embarrassing but Milena beats me here💀😂

Mauricio

Haha damn you nailed it, that's actually really accurate description haha

Patrick

I think people under estimate how it’s possible to be unaware of Star Wars. I show my GF the beginning of the first movie and she had never seen death Vader before. She said ‘who is he and why is he dressed like that’.

refo44

I disagree. It's better to watch Rogue One after Andor

Chidi.

In fairness, I haven't seen Death Vader either ;)

Chidi.

Great movie. It's what helped accelerate my Spanish language journey many years ago.

Sverrir_Thor

Given how politically aware and active these two are, these reactions are gonna be a treat

Mikey

I am so excited for this, wish it was twice a week!! I was dying laughing at Milena's lack of star wars knowledge in the intro

petitcorbeau

Wait did i hear you correctly? You'd like to watch more sci-fi shows? Another reason for you to watch pluto after chainsaw man then!

Michael M

"If I totally make shit up and put words in peoples' mouths they didn't say, I can be right!" ~Luis, an intellectual

Kara

25 actually if they want to watch Rogue One 🥰

Kara

If you play games, KOTOR 1 and 2 are really good too. Older but still good (you can watch Let's Play on YouTube instead too)

Kara

Girlies, just FYI no Bear episode went live on YT yesterday. 4 and 5 went live at the same time last week (mistake / forgot to change the date for 5?). 6 went live last week, so it should be 7? unless you're taking a week break to account for 4 and 5 going up at once.

Biberius Caldius Mero

Immediately some interesting thoughts on Cassian and the inspector guy in the review. And for what it's worth, when this show started, people with Star Wars knowledge didn't know the planets and settings in this episode either, and Cassian is the only character you'd have seen before.

Julmor

Im really looking forward to how they will react to Syril Karns storylinr. Hes kind of like the "Pete Campbell" of Andor; weak, pathetic, vulnerable and starving for validation. Lola always seems go have a soft spot for those kind of characters.

Mike

How is “Frodo is swept up by Gandalf into a quest to save Middle Earth” materially different from “Luke is swept up by Obi Wan into a quest to save the galaxy”? And getting into spoiler territory: Gurer vf n jubyr (zvabe) cybg guernq va F2 nobhg ubj Pnffvna vf pubfra / arrqrq ol gur Sbepr. Again, it’s obviously true that Andor has different thematic aims (and addresses them in a different storytelling mode) than the blockbuster film series, but I think people drawing such a heavy line between this series and the films on ideological grounds are kind of off base. Especially when you are talking about the (pre-corporate) OG series.

Robert Dirk H.

I think they do a break. I just hope we fix the upload distribution more evenly on YouTube, so all of them are 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 weeks behind Patreon.

Robert Dirk H.

I just realized that 2025 is year of Kara. Mad Men and Andor. She got everything she wanted 😂

Dante

It is great and possibly the best Star Wars has to offer. It is not however generational and quite overhyped in general largely due to how much better it is than the vast majority of other Star Wars projects. It is still an 8.5-9/10 show though

petitcorbeau

I dunno I haven't seen it. The only thing that I got from the manga is that it's a "cute dark" story and it's really not my cup of tea.

Isaac

Prequel novels are a good call. They clean up a lot of the edges

LM Reactions

love that you think we plan this 😂it was late and the bear didnt have a thumbnail, today we’re in another city and the laptop with the thumbnail is not with us so i guess we’ll just post mad men today and bear tomorrow 😂

Kara

@LM: lmaoooo makes sense 💖💖💖

Kara

I literally had the same thought but I didn't say it cuz i didn't want to hype him up too much. he is pete coded fr

Kara

"We fight to win. That means we lose. And lose and lose and lose... Until we're ready."

Jack Hoff

Since you've already seen episodes 4 and 5 once you've seen this show you will have watched all the good Star Wars things and you can stop.

Taya

Lol the first thing I thought as soon as I saw him was "He's got Pete Campbell energy"

Arthur Haguehara

So excited for you girls to experience this show! Just a quick note. I have the opinion that watching Rogue One before Andor and knowing what type of character Cassian is/becomes really enriches this story, kind of like watching Better Call Saul after Breaking Bad. It's not necessary, but i guess that how i would recomend this show for someone. Either way this show is really really good.

Thomas Fahey

Mad Men + Andor. Where will I find the time? I'll figure it out.

Floweyyyy

Honestly, I'm a huge Star Wars fan, I grew up watching these movies. I'm not going to be that guy and go out here telling you two to watch every Star Wars movie, but I would definitely tell you to at least watch Rogue One when you finish this show.

Biberius Caldius Mero

I understand thinking this way, but I'm more curious to see it the other way around (first Andor, then Rogue One), as it's more unique.

jweher

Oh i’ll definitely check out the games, thanks for the rec! I’ve been in my gaming girl era for a few years now so i’m always looking for new games to play.

jweher

Yeah i was hoping the novels would do just that! Because there’s a lot of great half-baked ideas in the prequels.

Kara

"the best way to keep the blade sharp is to use it 😈" -man describing worst way to keep blade sharp

Bless the Girl Kissers

The fact that people have spent 2+ years writing essays to the girls about why they should watch this show, and Milena still thought it was a Marvel show is so hilarious to me
