Where to Watch Andor
Andor Ratings & Reviews
- Thomas ChludzinskiMarch 4, 2025I'd given up on star wars but a friend insisted this was different. This is an adult show about the cost of being a rebel. No jedi, no sith, no self obsessed easter eggs and references to older movies and shows. I'm only docking it for the first couple of episodes which are pretty slow, but aside from that its a gripping and well written story. Just really hoping the second season stays high quality.
- CMoreMoviesApril 21, 2025Andor is a revolutionary gem set in George's sometimes wacky, always captivating, Galaxy Far, Far away. With the exception of my dear KotOR games, this is my favorite Star Wars content since the 80's. No hate to the prequels; I love them for what they are; however, sometimes everything just comes together --the creative freedom, the writing, the direction, the performances-- and something extraordinary is unleashed.
- BenMay 17, 2025Andor is a masterclass in character and narrative building—arguably the finest storytelling Star Wars has ever delivered. It trades spectacle for substance, weaving a slow-burn, tension-rich tale of rebellion, moral ambiguity, and personal awakening. Every relationship is layered, every conversation meaningful, and every plotline earns its place with careful pacing and payoff. The series doesn't rely on nostalgia—it earns its place in the Star Wars universe by elevating it. From its intricate political intrigue to the grounded, gritty portrayal of empire and resistance, Andor respects the intelligence of its audience. It's a rare example of world-building where stakes feel real and characters evolve with purpose. This is storytelling done right. Other content creators—both within and beyond the Star Wars universe—should take notes.
- Katreina EdelweissMarch 17, 2026Something every American needs to watch right now. The parallels to real life and modern society is astounding. If you're a member of any marginalized community, you know what I'm talking about. If you don't, please just think. George Lucas himself said that the Empire is a metaphor for American imperialism. Everything is political and this one is more relevant than ever.
- waggerdaggerJuly 13, 2025The best Star Wars production ever, almost including the original three movies. Finally, we have a well crafted, well played and well executed story, that is serious in tone and style. The characters are Multi faceted and the Empire is also made realistic, with internal intrigues, power struggles, mistakes and fairly reasonable reactions. It's simply great and I wish there was more coming.
- BrolaireMay 16, 2025Star Wars as a franchise has a complicated history. For many of my generation, it stood as peak Sci-Fi - the original movies were crowning achievements not only in special effects but also in characters and world-building. When word got out in the nineties that Lucas was returning to produce prequel movies, we were jazzed to put it lightly. Unfortunately, those movies for the most part critically fell flat at release, and only many years later, after the excrement of the Disney "final" trilogy, would we finally look back at how good we had it. Christopher Lloyd quit acting altogether because of how much he was made fun of. Hayden Christiansen got endless amounts of shit for how he portrayed adolescent Anakin - only very recently receiving the recognition he deserves. The mainstream of Star Wars always was rather simplistic thematically. Lucas famously said that he wrote these stories for his children. But with the Extended Universe content developed through the books, and later, some of the games, would Star Wars as a galaxy truly begin to flesh out and explore more realistic adult themes, characters, situations, and play in the grey much more than Lucas himself dared to. This is the era of Star Wars I loved that Disney killed. To say that I considered Star Wars dead is an understatement. The Mandalorian briefly rekindled hope for a time, but in many ways remained safe. Only Rogue One began to introduce this more gritty Star Wars some of us knew to the mainstream. Ask many non-fans what their favorite movie in the franchise is and they'll likely say Rogue One. Why? It leaned into themes of loss, sacrifice, and doing the right thing even when it's difficult. The ending, [won't spoil it here] is a bold narrative choice rarely seen in big-budget blockbusters, let alone Star Wars. It felt more like Saving Private Ryan or Black Hawk Down than a space opera. The lack of the iconic and fantasical elements of the franchise, namely the magic space wizards, are nonexistant, making the production more relatable and the protagonists feel more grounded. Like Rogue One, Andor doesn't require its audience to know Star Wars. It explores topics like authoritarianism, rebellion, propaganda, and what it means to resist evil from within a flawed system. It provides much more backstory to the events that led to Rogue One, and by extension, the original trilogy. Unlike Rogue One, it has so much more time to breathe, having and spending way more time introducing, developing, and intermingling its themes, its universe, and its complex characters. What appeals to me so much is, despite being a fan of the franchise, is that this story could exist in any other setting. It's objectively a great story - it just happens to be told using Star Wars as a backdrop. Given our current events and recent history, its story is all the more impactful and the gravitas of what happens that much more profound. Every single performance is exceptional, making it all the more incredible. "The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest [...] the monster screaming the loudest, the monster we’ve helped create, the monster who will come for all of us soon enough." Never in my wildest years would I ever have expected mainstream Star Wars to hit quite like this. Exceptional.
- Marcelo ScatenaMay 21, 2025A master class in character development, in tension, in intentionality, in theme exploration... There is so much this show has gotten right. I can't help but to feel sad now that it's over but, true to the main theme of the show and of Tar Wars, also hopeful for a better future.
- LD_50October 24, 2025This show is probably the best piece of Star Wars story, either show or movie, in the last decade, save for the animated Clone Wars series. From amazing cinematography complemented by pleasing colour grading, consistent gritty tone, strongly written characters and story, the compliments are endless for this show. Very few spin-offs can not only complement the source material its based off of, but even fewer actually strengthen it, maybe surpass it, while respecting it. Andor does all of this and more. If you are a new fan, this a great introduction to Star Wars. This story keeps you gripped at the edge of your seat as is progresses. Especially for existing fans of Star Wars, while you may know where the story leads in the larger canon, this show continually maintains your interest with engaging story/character arcs and building tension for a great payoff. Throughout the show, we are shown many narratives and experiences of characters on both sides of the conflict. Andor does a magnificent job of balancing all of this without being overwhelming, making for an extremely mature and immersice story, both showing the effects of people willing to rebel against the Empire, while also convincing us why and how exactly the Empire is so menacing and powerful. A story that uses action sparingly and instead opts to have strongly written dialogue that advances the plot and lets us organically learn who they are, their motivations, and their values, while highlighting their many dimensions in the brewing rebellion against the Empire. With a surprisingly mature story with themes of resistance, rebellion, and authoritarianism, Andor is a must-watch as it examines the logistics of how rebellions are built, how empires are disrupted, morals are grey, and ethics are never as clear cut as we'd like them to be.
- Marco Polo_1May 24, 2025Absolutely love this show, I didn’t think I would like it, because it is not dealing with the Jedi. But it makes you realise how big the world is, and it is a great journey following cassia and his adventures and all the different characters. wherever though go. Now I have to watch rouge one.
