@dornad I genuinely fear for Rhaenyra when her and Daemon are alone in a room together.

@dornad @Coffee_Addict He is very consistent with his disregard for his daughter's emotional well being.

@TallonMetroid @Lyre The prequels were largely saved by the the Clone Wars animated series as well. I don't see how that happens for the sequel trilogy.

We won't get something as good as Andor until we do. That is, you can't plan on it. It will happen eventually, but Andor was a hard to match high water mark. (I also would have appreciated Acolyte more as a mystery.)

@Reach Lol, I sat through the whole thing a year ago, because I was haunted by it from my childhood. It is truly awful.

@Reach @downpunxx

Then I would name you a liar, Ser Reach!

Just kidding. You can like it all if you want. I love that modern Star Wars is basically a big buffet where you can take what you want and leave what you don't want. If you want to gobble down everything on the buffet table, have at it.

@Emperor I actually like that line. I think it works for the character. In a movie filled with bad dialogue, I don't understand why that is the line so many people bring up.

@Shyfer @kalpol

Serious agreement. A better director, and to be fair to Lucas, a director than wasn't busy dealing with all the new special effect technology, and a bit of work on the script to sell Anakin's fall to the dark side a bit better and we would have had a solid trilogy.

I think Rogue One and Andor are better entry points for people who like grittier more socially realistic fantasy/sci-fi. If she likes BSG and GoT, she is far more likely to be into Andor than other Star Wars.

@paddirn @Blaze

I want to say it lacks grit, too smooth. It needs texture. The game trailer looked better.

@Oneeightnine
Probably Civilization or Crusader Kings at this point.

@Odo @Oneeightnine I had a pretty similar experience, tearing through the books between seasons 1 and 2. Reconciling Ian Glen's charisma with the book version Mormont, creeping on a teenage girl, was hard too.
