I mean I guess I can respect people who wanted something different, but it was too different. The earlier episodes seem to legitimately be ashamed of wanting anything to do with Star Wars and tried to avoid familiar imagery… That and again, the show is just boring.
Like why did we spend two episodes getting to know this resistance force if they’re all just going to die in the Heist and never be mentioned again? I mean I get it, they’re not heroes they’re just normal people desperate to fight back against a corrupt system, but I’d appreciate that more if they were in anyway likable… They’re not as they mostly just spend the whole of their screen time whining that Andor “isn’t one of the cool kids” as if they’ve never heard the phrase “Many hands make light work” before.
Like I hated this cast so much that when they were doing their drills and a tie fighter flew over head, I was just BEGGING for it to kill them… Sadly when the heist finally does happen, I feel nothing because the past two episodes were nothing but these resistance guys screaming at each other like they’re the disposable teenagers in an old horror movie and the opening of this episode was just 15 minutes of uninterrupted marching… I mean, I don’t mind building to something, but there’s building to something and stalling to meet a run-time; This felt like the latter
And I have no idea why they even bothered introducing the Kyber Crystal if nothing was going to really be done with it… It just felt like they needed to name drop the kyber crystal to remind you those exist…
Every reason why I DESPISE Andor can be summed up with “The Heist Arc”, the Prison Arc was better, but… It’s way too easy to suffer burnout while watching this show and by that point I was just happy that it at least felt like Star Wars. If I saw the Prison Arc in a vacuum I’d have loved it (Especially after how badly Book of Boba Fett just completely shit the bed), but on the heels of that Heist Arc my patience had been worn way too thin.
I didn’t the first time, but on the second viewing I was like “okay, I get it, that makes sense”, it’s easily my least favorite of the three though, but not my least favorite film overall (that would be Attack of the Clones)

I bet you liked the Last Jedi.
I’m sorry, that was uncalled for abuse.
