  • Looking forward to watching that when I have time.

    I think one of the more surprising things about Andor is that Disney somehow didn’t mess up the second season after the first went ‘under the radar’. And Gilroy closed it up so tight there’s no space for a 3rd.

    I know people are probably tired of hearing it, but Andor is probably the best Star Wars “thing” that’s been produced. It does it without Jedi or The Force or awkward lingering shots on nostalgia bait. And it has the remove of fantasy/sci-fi so real world factors don’t drag it down into the weeds.

    The original movies are classics, the prequels are fun, there’s lots of good books/shows/etc. Andor cuts to the heart of the difficulties of fighting back against fascism. The Empire breaks everyone on the show, on either side. Most of the people making meaningful action are forgotten. Some causes are necessary.


  • The worst thing about Voyager going forward is it’s never going to get the kind of remaster TOS/TNG/DS9 got.

    It was filmed in the transitional period between film and digital and all the effects weren’t done on film like those series. The masters were done digitally, at broadcast quality.

    From interviews/behind the scenes stuff someone would basically have to redo all the editing and effects work from scratch if they got their hands on the raw film. Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if someone is crazy enough to do that. But that’s a ton of work with basically no financial incentive.
