Ewan and Hayden together will always be great. Also always funny to see people blaming The Volume for certain scenes that were Blue Screen or shot on location lol, I guess at that point ILM have to take people not being able to tell as a compliment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a reason why I made that catty remark in the HotD thread. Still, this really does add another datapoint to my theory that the ‘rona either just really fucked with some productions, or just raised the degree of difficulty. Doesn’t appear that Andor is gonna get hit to the same degree, though I won’t be surprised if some scenes might look a little more dodgy than others if this theory really is right. Even in the fantastic Andor/Luthen scene I could spot a few seams that I might not otherwise have noted (of course the acting was so damn good, I didn’t care). Of course, here is where the cinematographer earns their salary, so I suppose one can only “blame” COVID so much. Not that I’m really ever blaming the pandemic, more as always, taking it into consideration when I pass judgment on various things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah COVID for sure had an impact, lots of elbow bumps going on in some of the footage and yeah I think Andor will suffer from it a bit just like nearly every show/movie shot during 2020 and early 2021. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthos Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Really nice story about the AI usage for Vader's voice as James Earl Jones has indeed retired from voicing Vader (and also mentions that JEJ gave his blessing for said usage). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudalb Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) FOr various reasons I skipped a lot of streaming shows this summer, and now I am getting caught up, and this is next on my binge watching list.Most people seem to be overall dissapointed in this, and I note the only one here giving it 8 and 9 ratings are the SW fans who will automatically love anything with the magic words "Star Wars" on them. My main doubt about this is how much suspense can you generate when you already know the ultimate outcome? Not saying it can't be done, but it takes a high level of execution to pull off. You don't seem to have that here. Edited October 25, 2022 by dudalb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) Just saw the Kai Patterson cut. It's the entire Obi-Wan series but condensed down to 2.5 hrs. It is not only orders of magnitude in improvement on the original series but actually made me kinda like the Inquisitor lady villain. It makes the Obi-Wan series my 3rd favorite Disney+ Star Wars series (behind Andor and Mandalorian but ahead of Bad Batch & Book of Boba) I highly recommend everyone give it a look.https://www.kaipattersonfilms.com/kenobi Edited December 14, 2022 by lilmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthos Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Andor wasn't the only SW show to get Emmy love today. 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not perfect but it's a great show and deserves the appreciation. I think it mostly got in cause Miniseries/Anthology is kind of weak this year in terms of shows but nevertheless glad it did! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMisfits Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 So, I finally watched this series - and it was GOOD! Not quite as good as Andor, and I had a few gripes, but it really nailed a start to finish story wrapped in a little bow. It made its 6 episodes all count and didn't overcomplicate the story, while still building more of the world and providing new characters to enjoy. Okay, maybe now I'll keep working my way back to Mandalorian - Andor got me to watch Kenobi...and Kenobi might have gotten me in for Mando... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
