Andor Is A Star Wars Masterpiece From 1978

As of April 23, 2023, this video has become the recipient of the Dilectio Sapientiae Award from the Miami International Science-Fiction and Film Festival. Thank you endlessly for your support and time, for giving this video a watch, and for sharing Andor with others. Long live the Rebellion.

Andor tells the origin story of Cassian Andor with the lens of an ambitious, polished, and carefully crafted understanding of what makes Star Wars so unique. Andor is a masterpiece and easily the best Disney+ series released in the modern age. From fantastic writing, to incredible speeches and thrilling action sequences, there is nothing here to dislike.

Please remember, this is just one lone man's opinion. I hope you enjoy

There are two quotes/ideas I heard years ago that illustrate my feelings towards Andor, almost better than any others, and I felt inspired to build upon them throughout the course of this review. They can be found at:

9:26 I quote the great Hank Green with the following, "No one changes the world alone, and no one doesn't change it at all." I wanted to build upon this idea, as it stuck with me throughout the majority of my viewing of Andor. I hope my additional context did some justice to its message. Hank, thank you for inspiring me with this quote and for inspiring me to build upon it further. It is a profound understanding of the cost of living and I hope my rendition can bring some extra revelations, in the ways you inspired me. I unfortunately do not know which video I first heard it from, but it's been with me ever since.

10:44 I quote the incredible SkillUp with the following, "...given air to be taken in the same way it would in real life; with quiet contemplation and appreciation." This is one of the most apt descriptors of how art can sit with someone, and it's a phrase that, like Hank Green above, was in the back of my mind all throughout Andor during Season One, and one that I looked to build upon further in my review. SkillUp, thank you for all of the ways you've inspired the prose of reviewers like myself. I don't know where I first heard it, but I've remembered your voice with it ever since.

This video is not possible without the themes that resonated with me thanks to so many of my favorite reviewers, poets, speakers, and the like. From Hank Green and Rhystic Studies, to HiTopFilms and The Closer Look, to SkillUp and Implicitly Pretentious, these people have fueled so much of how I better appreciate art, how I think more critically/deeply about what I consume, and how I try to communicate.

If you enjoy this video, I'd really be grateful if you subscribed. I'm hoping to reach 10,000 subscribers this year and I love making content that resonates with you all. Thank you for the continued support on this very small channel.

This is my review of Andor. (to note, this is not an analysis of the show's fundamental components, just my review :) )
