Andor Season 2 Is Masterpiece

⏱ Estimated Read Time: 2 minutes

Yo, what is good, man? I just finished watching Andor Season 2 last night, and it’s easily one of the best things I’ve watched so far in 2025. It has officially surpassed Severance Season 2, which, while a completely different type of show, still deserves props. Severance was really good, but Andor Season 2? Amazing! It’s probably the best Star Wars live-action show, period. I’d put it right above Skeleton Crew. Now, Mandalorian is probably third, and then Ahsoka in fourth. Although, I might give Ahsoka a slight edge because I really like the Ahsoka character from the Clone Wars saga. So, I might be a little biased there, but Andor was brilliant.

Season 2 especially. I was watching an interview with Tony Gilroy, the showrunner, and he basically said that when he took on the show, he didn’t want to make it “Star Wars-y.” A lot of times, when you think of Star Wars, you think of Jedi, lightsabers, the Force—you get stuck with these top-heavy characters. While they’re interesting and fun to make movies around, you become pigeonholed, right? Andor gave him the chance to deal with characters that exist in the universe around that time who have their own interesting stories. So, there are no lightsabers, no Jedi. They don’t know about the Force; they’re just trying to live everyday lives and find heroism within themselves. They say it in the show all the time: everyone’s fighting their own rebellion, and they’re following Andor, a guy who didn’t initially want to be part of the rebellion but then finds that’s all he knows, as he fills these voids in his own life.

Amazing show. It made me want to watch Rogue One again tonight. One of the coolest things about Andor, though, is if you study revolutions or have read about them in the past, you’ll see this show borrows from them. You see bits of the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution. I even saw a scene that reminded me of the Amistad massacre, where they get everyone angry in one area, close off all the exits, and then massacre them. That hits close to home.

Everything about Andor—the way they captured it, the writing, and then you see the rise of authoritarianism and fascism coming about. You see how the government is collapsing in real-time, how the Senate’s collapsing as propaganda is being pushed to serve the Empire. It’s amazing. I think it’s one of my favorite Star Wars series of all time. I’m just blown away after watching Season 2. I loved it.

I think you guys should check it out if you’re into Star Wars. Even if you’re not, one of the beauties of Andor is that it can be appreciated by people who don’t care about Star Wars. It stands out very much on its own because it borrows from these timeless themes that I think are just amazing. Anyways, let me know what you guys think. Did you guys like it? If not, why not? Till the next one. Peace.

Ai Header Image Prompt: A high-quality, high-detail, visually complex image depicting the essence of an oppressive, dystopian, industrial world, infused with the grit and tension of rebellion. The composition features a stark, sprawling cityscape under a brooding, stormy sky, rendered in a style that blends neo-futuristic realism with striking abstract digital art elements. Geometric patterns, fragmented textures, and subtle glitch effects are interwoven into the environment, suggesting propaganda and a fractured society. Deep shadows and piercing light sources create dramatic contrast, highlighting the oppressive architecture and small, indistinct, silhouetted human figures that convey a sense of struggle and collective defiance. The color palette is predominantly desaturated with muted blues, grays, and metallic tones, punctuated by subtle, earthy reds and oranges hinting at burgeoning resistance. The overall aesthetic is painterly and atmospheric, meticulously rendered to avoid an overtly artificial or AI-generated appearance. All depicted human forms, even if stylized or indistinct, should maintain natural proportions and limb structure. No bold text or titles within the image.
