confuser comments on Rogue One is great, but Andor is even better

I think andor was the least engaged I've ever felt by anything star wars. I understand the appeal I think but I'm just not very interested in the slow burn politics stuff. I don't need hours of content to explain to me that these guys do these things for these reasons and these others do these other things for these reasons.

Dune does not explain anyone's reasons for anything. It's just a bunch of archetypes archetyping. I'll save anyone who wants it, 6 hours:
"We do what we must, because we can"
"Aiiieeyyaaaa yaaaaaaa!"

Beautiful movie though. Absolutely stunning. What it lacks in character development, it makes up for completely and then more, in visual storytelling. I highly recommend the watch, but you'd probably take more from it just setting the audio to a language you don't speak and letting the settings and angles and lighting talk.

I was talking about the books, which are totally different than the movies, and increasingly bonkers but yeah
