zoo li Mandalorian ua ntej nws, thawj peb ntu ntawm Andorra ua ib tug glorified peb feem pilot, yog li nws ua rau kev txiav txim siab tias lawv txhua tus yuav raug tso tawm ib txhij tag kis sawv ntxov. Hais tias, cov thawj peb ntu yog padded thiab redundant, mus txog qhov twg (zoo li lub Rings ntawm lub hwj chim) ib qho tuaj yeem hla ncaj qha mus rau ntu thib ob yam tsis muaj ntau lub ntsiab lus thiab tus cwj pwm. Qhov ntawd yog qhov teeb meem nrog 'paced for the binge' streaming show, zoo li qhov no, thawj 35 feeb tsuas yog teeb tsa qhov peb twb paub txog cov xwm txheej quo thiab cov protagonists. Peb hero yog qhia tsis kam tua ob tug Imperial attackers. Qhov no xav tias nws yog ib tug txiv neej ntawm kev khiav thiab sib piv qhov ua ntej incarnation nrog tus txiv leej tub uas peb ntsib in neeg siab tsis ncaj ib tug, qhov twg nws tau qhia ... tsis kam tua ib tug txiv leej tub kom tsis txhob nrhiav pom Imperial.

Cov yeeb yam yog visually ambitious thiab exceptionally zoo-acted. Nws tseem tseem tsis tau tawg tawm ntawm kev xav ntawm kev siv nws lub sijhawm ua haujlwm tag nrho los teb cov lus nug uas tsis tau nug. Peb tsis tas yuav paub yuav ua li cas Andor (Diego Luna) mus los ntawm ib tug scrappy underdog mus rau sab saum toj-tier Rebellion hero. Peb tsis xav tau ib qho kev qhia tag nrho uas muab tib yam grim 'lub neej nyob rau hauv lub teb chaws Ottoman' raws li txoj cai uas tau muab Star Wars: Rebels nws ciam teb-subversive ncaws. Cov ntaub ntawv zoo tshaj plaws txog tam sim no txhawj xeeb txog kev ua haujlwm sab hauv ntawm lub teb chaws Ottoman nws tus kheej. Tseem, txawm tias qhov tseem ceeb nthuav tawm nws tus kheej li Ben Mendelsohn's arc in neeg siab tsis ncaj ib tug (tus thawj coj hauv chav ua haujlwm Imperial siv zog rau kev hwm ntawm nws cov thawj coj zoo) tau txuas ntxiv mus rau hauv ib qho yeeb yaj kiab TV. Thawj plaub ntu muaj kev nkag siab zoo ib yam li BBC neeg soj xyuas ua yeeb yam zoo li Me Ntxhais Nkauj Ntsuag or Tus Thawj Saib Hmo Hmo, tab sis ib tug tsuas yog saib cov yeeb yam.

Qhov no yog ib qho teeb meem tshwm sim ntawm qhov tseeb batch ntawm MCU qhia, uas lean kom deb li deb mus rau tag nrho ib hom ntawv appropriation schtick tias nws dhau los ua teeb meem rau cov neeg tuaj saib uas tsis haus cov ntawv tiag. Nws yog qhov nthuav tias Andorra, puv nrog kev nom kev tswv tiddlywinks grim thiab gritty 'cov neeg tsis tu ncua nyob rau hauv cov lus piav qhia zoo kawg nkaus' neeg ntaus, sim nyuaj kom tsis txhob ua zoo li cov lus hais. Star Wars taug txuj kev nyuaj. Txawm li cas los xij, tsis muaj Jedi, tsis muaj lightsabers thiab me me kom sib txawv ntawm nws tus kheej los ntawm tsab xov xwm tiag tiag tshaj li IP branding, cov lus nug dhau los ua vim li cas cov neeg tuaj saib tsis tsuas yog ntes tau. teb koj chaw or Spooks. Muaj ib tug skewed irony nyob rau hauv uas Andorra tej zaum yog qhov zoo tshaj plaws Disney + Star Wars qhia txog tam sim no thaum tseem zoo li qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws thiab tsawg kawg yuav tsum tau saib ntawm cov neeg uas lub tswv yim ntawm qhov tshiab Star Wars cov ntsiab lus tsis yog qhov muag tsis siv neeg.

Qhov no yog txhua yam tsis ncaj ncees rau qhov yeeb yam, uas yog ib rooj plaub ntawm Tony Gilroy siv cov ntaub thaiv npog tiv thaiv tus IP los ua ib yam dab tsi hauv nws lub log. Luna yog qhov zoo heev, thiab nws (qhov tshwm sim) kev sib tham nrog Stellan Skarsgard (raws li tus thawj coj ntawm tseem tab tom tawg 'kev sib koom siab sib koom siab') muab cov neeg laus, kev sib tham-driven thrills. Ntawm nws qhov zoo tshaj plaws, nws yog ze rau ntawm sab ntsuj plig Michael Clayton tshaj Lub Cim Yug Bourne, txawm tias kuv quaj rau qhov kev xav ntawm cov neeg tuaj saib tsuas yog saib cov yeeb yaj kiab uas tsis yog IP lossis ua yeeb yam zoo li Beirut uas ua si hauv tib lub sandbox. Yog lawm, Andorra yog technically 'Star Wars rau cov neeg laus.' Nws muaj cov lus cog tseg ntawm kev xa ib yam dab tsi uas ua rau nws tus kheej dhau ntawm cov ntsiab lus kua zaub xav tau ntawm lub sijhawm streaming. Txawm li cas los xij, nws yog lwm qhov piv txwv ntawm cov neeg laus niaj hnub no ob leeg tsis kam tso lawv cov kev nyiam thaum yau thiab hais tias cov hom lag luam thiab cov franchises yuav tsum tau ua kom haum rau lawv cov kev nyiam loj thiab.

Yog koj saib tshiab Star Wars show vim nws yog ib Star Wars qhia, muaj ntau yam txaus siab txog Andor, txawm tias nws yuav siv plaub ntu los qhia ob ntu ntawm zaj dab neeg. Cov yeeb yam xav tias hauv av thiab qhov tseeb thiab zoo li yuav raug tua rau ntawm qhov chaw nrog cov txiaj ntsig tsim khoom sib xyaw ua ke nrog cov teebmeem tom qab tsim khoom. Nws muaj cov neeg ua yeeb yam zoo (xws li Fiona Shaw thiab Denise Gough) kho cov khoom zoo li Emmy-bait HBO miniseries thaum uas twb muaj lawm feem ntau tsis muaj qhov xav tau kiv cua, qe easter lossis muaj feem cuam tshuam nrog lub tswb nrov thiab xuav. Tej zaum nws yog qhov zoo tshaj plaws platonic ntawm Disney + Star Wars TV yeeb yam, txawm tias ntau ntawm nws (kom deb li deb) rov hais dua cov ntaub ntawv sau tseg yav dhau los. On ib Star Wars/Disney+ nkhaus, nws yog qhov txiav saum toj no. Tab sis muab qhab nia dawb huv hauv thaj tsam ntawm nws cov neeg soj xyuas kev ua si uas tau xaiv, nws tseem "zoo, kuv twv."
