Or Captain Phasma. Or OT Boba Fett even. His purpose was to obtain the map for Morgan. He succeeded. His purpose/impact was just over fairly quickly. I think our frustration is not that he had no point; it's that he hinted at something cool beneath the surface but they never scratched deep enough. Maul and Grievous don’t belong on this list.

That's why I included "movie" before Maul and Grievous. Their characters were pretty thin in their single film appearances. Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge fan of Maul. He was such a menacing presence in tPM. Grievous onscreen was just a mechanical beast. They were both plot driven. As are most things in SW. But let's not pretend all the OT and PT characters were well rounded developed characters. Baylan's story and motivation were short changed in Ashoka, but in the Star Wars universe (outside of Andor), it's more common than not.

Have Revenge This just reminded me of a list that was going around back when Episode I (or maybe even the Episode I trailer) came out where well-known Star Wars lines had the word "pants" subbed in somwhere. "At last we will reveal our pants to the Jedi" is the one that stuck with me and I still laugh way more than I should at it.

Ser Rodrigo Belmonte II Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) I’ve gotta admit guys, after finishing this show at last, it’s finally changed my perspective on Andor. It’s now the second most boring SW thing for me , after Ahsoka by a wide margin. Edited October 18, 2023 by Ser Rodrigo Belmonte II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrddin Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 So, I've been on a studying the structure of story binge, and decided to look up Tony Gilroy's work to see how he's evolved as a storyteller over the years. His first screenplay? The Cutting Edge. #toepick Jace, Extat, hauberk, Kalbear and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
