DavidB6937 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Cant afford it this time round sadly. Really enjoyed the last one and meeting Mark Hamill was one of those dream come true moments. I'm sure everyone will have an awesome time 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopper Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I got tickets for Saturday and Sunday. Went to LFCC in 2015 to meet the Back To The Future cast, but that’s the only convention I’ve ever attended. So I’m really excited to just be in that whole Star Wars bubble for a weekend and my wife (who loves Star Wars as much as me, but has never done any kind of convention) will surely love it too.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted September 22, 2022 Awards Moderator Share Posted September 22, 2022 I loved the first three episodes of Andor. So much. The third episode in particular might be my favourite episode of live action Star Wars TV. Really good. However, I am that person who’d happily put Rogue One in their top 3 Star Wars movies and cries when K-2SO dies, so this show is pretty much made for me.

Rogue One is a great film, not just a great Star Wars film. Am I best rewatching it beforehand (not seen it for a few years) or can I just go straight into Andor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s helpful to be reminded where Cassian ends up as a character in the film, but there’s no callbacks (call-forwards?) or anything  that’d affect your viewing.

Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted September 23, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) Very impressed with this three episodes in. The dialogue is absolutely brilliant. I like the way every extra feels like they are all actually doing something rather than  soldiers/stormtroopers aimlessly wandering around in military formations. There are construction workers actually doing construction-esque jobs. Even the workers looking at the satalites for the main antagonist are eating at their desks and moaning about overtime like normal people. There are annoying old bastards trying to talk to you on your business commute. All these little touches are welcome additions. Even the soldiers are constantly talking and planning positions over their Comms devices in a thorough manner. I’m also in love with the actress that plays Bix (Bex? Bics?). A delightful creature.  Edited September 24, 2022 by Fatty Facesitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 ... I'm going to have to give this a shot, aren't I? Does it feel a bit more of a serious sci Fi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted September 24, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted September 24, 2022 I enjoyed it, though definitely has some faults. Firstly why is every single fucker in this English? Feels more like it's set in the midlands than in a galaxy far, far away. And good lord it's slow in paces and very strangely paced. But it looks beautiful, actually has proper dialogue, characters and writing in it, feels like there's a point to it rather than the written by Reddit absolute drizzling shite that Boba Fett and Obi Wan were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an odd criticism. Perhaps I should have said British. Definitely felt to me like the vast majority of the speaking cast were British. Big fan of the naff sideburns and 70s hairstyles. More dodgy American accents and it'll really have that Star Wars feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that the case with Star Wars in general? I came in here just to see if anyone mentioned Trev. And it was the first thing posted about the show. You lot never disappoint. Unlike Little Mo.
