I mean, I think the BETTER idea is to just move on from telling stories of the same characters and create new, compelling characters to follow. But that isn't IP 101 so \_()_/

To be fair, Andor is a relatively new character with only one movie appearance. I think that's a good start for focus on new characters.

Harrison Ford praised Alden Ehrenreich’s performance as Han Solo, i’ll take his opinion on the subject over anyone else, including a studio exec who deflects blame onto others. pic.twitter.com/tkmAVmXF3x

I'm sorry, Agen Kolar's Padawan, but if this is your default picture on Wookieepedia, odds are you didn't do that great.

He also died in that one appearance. Therefore, He can't die in his show so the audience can never feel he is in jeopardy, he can't leave the rebellion, he doesn't have any real emotional arc left.

I liked Andor and I am going to watch the show, but his character can't really be developed any further than what we saw in Rogue One. Maybe we get some better details, but he can't really change. We also no he will murder/lie/cheat for the Rebellion and gets burned out/jaded from doing it. So nothing he does will be that shocking.

Sure it will be fun watching the Rebellion grow and he will be a decent character to see the rebellion grow. But they could have made a new character to watch the same events and we would have some mystery as to their Journey.

No matter what Andor does on his show, he will die on Scarif making the ultimate sacrifice for the Rebellion.

I would like to point out that Obi-Wan Kenobi also died in his first movie appearance.

no one was going to follow ford very well as solo, but they should have at least tried to find someone close and with SOME charisma.

i know its hard these days, but that was an epic fail.

Ehrenreich was forgettable but boy did Donald Glover nail his portrayal of young Lando.

Maybe it was my expectations going into it, but I thought Donald just did okay while Ehrenreich probably about as good as you were going to get without deaging Harrison Ford himself. He nailed so many mannerisms.

Glover felt like an impersonation of Lando, and I noticed it in all of his scenes. I found myself just accepting Ehrenreich as Han. It was the exact opposite of what I expected going into the movie.

Part of what is funny to me is the big push is based on three characters who are already dead?

Kenobi/Vader/Andor

I don't want to be too much of a wet blanket, but do we need to learn anything more about these characters? I am excited about Kenobi and look forward to Ewan, but I also don't feel like I need to learn anything more about the character.

And it seems like they are really refusing to address post-Rise of Skywalker Star Wars which they will have to do sometime.

The continued churning of the nostalgia part of Star Wars is wearing thin.

Technically, all the characters in Star Wars are already dead

Same same.

It is really a shame this movie didn't get more love. Sure it was a little on the nose with how manu call backs/origins they tried to fit in but it was a fun movie with some interesting characters.
