Reply to comment by nurdboy42 in Andor - Episode 12 Finale - Discussion Thread! by PhoOhThree

I was like this with both Andor and House of the Dragon, they both shut me up by just being high quality with great writing.

I was also like this with Rings of Power, I got this one right at least.

On the other hand, I was hyped for Boba Fett and Kenobi and it blew up on the launch pad. Terrible writing, shody craftsmanship, the only salvageable parts are the Mando episodes in BoBF and the last Vader/Kenobi duel.

Andor and HOTD are two shows that had no right to be this good. Andor blew me away. The level Gilroy brought to Star Wars is amazing. I feel sorry for Favreau... there is nothing that will come close to Andor

^ nailed it.

..and this is going to be a real problem going forward. If I were Favereau, or Filoni, I'd be VERY careful about what I was producing going forward.

At this point, I think Gilroy has to take the SW lead for all productions going forward.

I never liked The Mandalorian. To me it was too damn simple. No plot, just cameos galore and "quest of the week" storytelling. I watched one episode of Boba Fett and three of Kenobi. I was done with Star Wars Disney. Gilroy made me believe again. There is no way Favreau or Filoni have this level of sophistication or creativity. We have been spoiled by Gilroy.

fully agreed... The other productions are hot garbage in descending order.

Fully agreed. We have seen what Star Wars can be. There's no going back

Rings of Power unfortunately had the biggest hill to climb due to Amazon only having rights to the appendix

I cannot fathom the quality of Andor, versus RoP, which basically does EVERYTHING wrong.
