The second and final season of Tony Gilroy’s epic is suspenseful, action-filled—and a timely, unflinching portrayal of the human costs of rebellion.

| Apr 25, 2025

Gilroy is still telling a fable, but it’s one infused with so much intricacy and thoughtfulness that it feels almost uncannily real, a world you could step right into.

Andor’s premiere signals that Tony Gilroy and his small army of creative collaborators have not lost any of the spark that made the series such a marvel.

Andor is a great show, and that’s true for whether you’re a Star Wars fan or not.

| Apr 24, 2025

It’s the Star Wars spin-off with the strongest claim to being a proper drama -- but, in season two’s opening triple bill, it shows it can do sly, wry comedy too.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 24, 2025

...Andor wisely never lapses into the lazy fan service that has cheapened so many expensive other outings since Disney took over. That its second season will also be its last ensures that, for once, quality will trump quantity.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 23, 2025

While some aspects of Season 2 seem less necessary than others, when “Andor” gets to the heart of its antiauthoritarian thesis -- the need for rebellion and speaking truth to power -- the show’s reach does not exceed its grasp.

| Apr 23, 2025

Why “Andor” remains a cut above other entries in the “Star Wars” empire is that it values dialogue and characterization as much as it does suspense and special effects.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 23, 2025

One of many factors that set “Andor” apart from the majority of Star Wars properties was how firmly it kept its focus on regular folks in a universe whose narratives have historically drifted toward the royals.

It is what “Star Wars” (and all sci-fi 온라인카지노추천) can be at its peak, and I hope it’s a roadmap to the future of this entire franchise.

Not all the Star Wars spin-offs have justified their existence, but Andor does that and so much more. By the time it ends, it has not only delivered in spades, it has made the entire web of stories feel more coherent, rounded and real.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 21, 2025

“Andor” challenges what “Star Wars” can be while honoring what it has always been at its core: a story about hope in dark times.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 21, 2025

The second season, somehow, eclipses [the first] in an impressive fashion, building a masterful narrative arc that is undeniable in its prescience to the rising fascism around the world.

| Apr 21, 2025

The second season is a deeply affecting narrative about love, sacrifice and belief that is desperately dark, even if "Star Wars" fans know that eventually, the good guys will win.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 21, 2025

Thrillingly intricate, suspenseful, tragic and hopeful, it fulfills the promise of the galaxy far, far away, telling a uniquely nuanced, mature, and gripping story that’s at once distinct from, and yet inherently wedded to, the Skywalker Saga.

| Apr 21, 2025

Despite a bigger budget, the show still feels organic and lived-in.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 21, 2025

The blood of this iconic franchise — the heart, the values, the triumph over evil — runs through its veins. It will make you fall in love with Star Wars, whether for the first time or the 50th.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 21, 2025

The rebellion’s narrative has backed itself into a few corners that mean retreading some old ground. Luckily the characters are so fascinating and their emotional stakes so high it’s a pleasure not a chore to spend time with their predicaments.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 21, 2025

Andor is Star Wars’ earthiest instalment yet.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 21, 2025

Could a second (and final) season of Andor live up to the level and intensity of storytelling already set by Gilroy? To borrow the syntax of a franchise-favourite hero: largely, no, the answer is.
