I don't think Andor is going to be "Cassian and his wacky adventures" as much as it will be "the Rebellion trying to do anything of consequence at the Height of the Empire's Power"

I have no clue why Andor is getting a show. Just a very odd decision. I don't get it either, but K-2S0 was kinda funny, so at least we probably get more of him. Aw shit, they're totally going to unnecessarily show Andor reprogramming him in this, aren't they?

K-250 was cut quite late into the pre-production stage, after Alan Tudyk had been announced as part of the cast. Tudyk hopes he will be part of the second season.

Lol, they're trying to get multiple seasons out of a prequel to a prequel?

Lol, they're trying to get multiple seasons out of a prequel to a prequel? This is Star Wars, a franchise in which Clone Wars acted as a sequel to a prequel and prequel to a prequel, while also having a sequel series of its own. They're masters of milking content for all it's worth.

First episode was... okay. {Spoiler}I guess it was kinda inevitable we'd see them tell the story of how exactly Fett escaped the sarlacc and got to the point where he tracks down his armour, but I can't really say that's a story I really felt needed telling.
Also not liking how seemingly dependent he is on bacta treatments. I dislike the ailing, ageing warrior trope.

Look out for a cameo in the saloon by {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}DJ R-3X .. who can be be seen at Star Wars Galaxies Edge at Disneyland and Hollywood Studios in “Oga’s Cantina”
Previously R-3X was the pilot to the ship used in the previous version of Star Tours (some of his Droid models can be seen in the current queue line for the ride). Plus he also appears in a episode of Star Wars: Rebels..
Sadly he has no lines, as he voiced by Paul Reubens most of the time.

That was underwhelming honestly - {Spoiler}Boba came off surprisingly naïve about his new "job". "Rule through respect, not fear"? Dude, you're a mob boss, you said so yourself, that's not how it works. It's not helped by him then getting his ass kicked by a bunch of ninjas in the middle of town for everyone to see. I kinda expected better from the great Boba Fett on both accounts.
Also, I'm not particularly sure I like the idea of the story being told Arrow-style, where every time things get going the plot stops for a flashback so we can see what tangentially related thing Ollie was doing on the island all those years ago. It seems like it's just going to unnecessarily slow things down.

And the Easter egg in the queue line for Star Wars there is a bunch of them being boxed up to be put into storage or something.

It seems like it's just going to unnecessarily slow things down. Yeah, got to kinda agree on this. I get you might not want a story where the cool guy is the top guy and unbeatable and so on.....but {Spoiler} do you really need to job them out over and over and show they've always been a bit shit really and legends might be better than reality? Fennec seems cooler than him frankly. I also dont understand why they killed Bib Fortuna only to just have another guy doing the same job he could have done with more history.
<Shrugs> I'll keep watching, but I'm not at all as blown away by this as I was by Mando. So far.

Showing him get out of the Sarlaac pit was fine...but I really don't need to know how he developed a friendship with a child Tuskan Raider after killing a Mantaur.

I tapped out about halfway through, kudos to Temuera Morrison for being all in and getting more work though.
