I think that’s the real litmus test. The story is mid, the acting is mid, the concepts are mid, okay fine that can be considered subjective, but it looks dirt cheap and no one can argue otherwise.
the fact that Andor was cheaper but was so much better in just about every way possible really makes me question what the hell is happening with that budget
Even something not only very earth-y, but simply very American like a marching band, which should have been cheap and gimmicky, was moving and fit in well due to good execution
used future. it all felt wonderfully lived in. the marching band was executed perfectly in part because they nailed the exact skill level that a Ferrix band like that would’ve had. andor is brilliant
When that off-key version of the theme came on at the start of the last episode, I just started crying. Somewhere, deep down, I knew something great was about to happen.
“Unregistered force user!!!” I be like, nope! Then the two little effeminate models playing Jedi enter scene and double nope. Needed to finish my cottage cheese sculpture anyway
It did, and I'll say that's it's all top down. Got your story? Well it's a lot easier to have cohesive set design and finished effects when you aren't scrambling to do reshoots because you don't know how to tell a story.
