Andor Series Premiere Review: “Episodes 1-3”

– Spoiler Review –

Rogue One, is one of the more recent films well-beloved by many, often for its story, action, humor, and heart, but also its characters and their struggles against the giant Imperial war machine that will change the fate of the galaxy. While all the characters deserve more insight into their pasts, Cassian Andor and his darker side of the Rebellion, a spy or assassin depending on the job, was full of potential and thus was born Andor, a show about his past and how he becomes such a vital and faithful member of the Rebellion against the Empire. There’s been a lot of expectations for this show since it was first announced and as more details started trickling in, and after finally seeing the first three episodes, I can comfortably say it manages to live up to any and all expectations I’ve had, but also promises to blow them out of this galaxy over the course of this season alone.
