    This looks like a trailer cut together by people who have absolutely zero understanding of what made season one work so well.

    Exec: release time, call the flashy trailer guy and get him to do his thing.
    Aide: ok, what do we want him to focus on?
    Exec: I dunno, which one is this again?
    Aide: that talky serious one.
    Ezec: we ordered a second season of that?
    Aide: yessir.
    Exec: why the fuck did we do that?
    Aide: apparently the critics loved it
    Exec: uh huh, and what about the super nerds?
    Aide: they loved it too, sir.
    Exec: why?
    Aide: I prepared some reviews, here.
    Exec: ...
    Exec: what the fuck is dramatic tension?
    Aide: I'm not sure, sir.
    Exec: fuck it, stick in a few cards saying how much the critics loved it then fill it up with the usual explosions and bright lights bullshit.

      The cards being so unbearably smug about season one's success after Disney did no promotion for it really sticks in my craw.

    Watched and loved the first season so I'm excited to watch the second but I did not like this trailer. If it'd been the only thing convincing me to watch it, I'd probably skip this show.

        Agreed, this was a really poor trailer, and I feel it completely undersells the excellence of the show

      I'm glad it wasn't just me. This trailer has me worried they "disneyfied" Andor to the point of schlock, but I loved season one, so I'll reserve judgement and hope this is simply bad marketing.

    Half of what made the first series good was how shit the rest of star wars has been. Even the mando shat it when it required you to watch a completely different series to keep up with it.

    Fnished Andor yesterday. The music from the end of the last episode has been absolutely stuck in my head, and I've listened to it twice on Youtube. It was an utterly fantastic series.

    I've been somewhat marginal on the Star Wars stuff I watched. I grew up with the original trilogy. I nearly walked out of the first prequel and have to this day never see the second and third.

    I personally thought eps7-9 were pretty good. I especially felt after ep 7 that it was good to have Star Wars back. Although I could tell you very little about all three. But they were decent, I thought.

    I vaguely remember Rogue One and thought it was pretty decent.

    I'm not caught up on Mandalorian. I'd been trying to catch up, but after seeing Andor Season 1, I began to be less satisfied with some of the large cracks in Mandalorian. I never did get back to Ahsoka, though it seemed pretty decent.

    But everything about Andor was stunning. Both seasons. I loved the cinematography, the music, casting, writing, pacing, lighting - everything. Though the music put it over the absolute top.

    In fact, when I finished season 2, I had the idea of going straight into Rogue One - this'll be awesome!

    The music felt very traditonal Star Wars, but I found it jarring and wrong. I paused the movie and I'll pick it back up today or tomorrow, but I found myself highly disappointed.

    Also, as I don't remember the movie well.... Seeing Cassian begn introduced as Rebel Intelligence Officer was a bit jarring as well. It was very very clear tht this was written before Andor. lol. And I almost felt he was a stranger on the screen. Which I suppose I should have expected, but I sure didn't.

    I like the Star Wars universe. But beyond all else: I hope we get more projects like Andor. I don't care in what universe they are set. I mean, screw it, forget Rogue One, let's keep on with Andor's story of the rebellion. Or even not just that storyline, but let's have continuity with that version of the universe. Retire the existing Star Wars and keep going with this, please. lol

    So anyway. As one might have surmised: I highly highly recommend this series if you haven't. And even if you're not into Star Wars. This series was absolutely awesome.
