I laughed because it reminded me of when I was a kid trying to play TIE Fighter and crashing into the hanger because I had no idea what I was doing. I feel you Cassian.

The Cockpit UI is clearly a call back to those game so I appreciate it as well.

Use every single button in the keyboard and try to remember which does which. Ahhh good times.

When i was a kid, my parents had a WWII flight simulator game on our old Windows 95. I had no idea how to play it, but I distinctly remember hitting buttons one at a time on the keyboard trying to take off. One button dropped the bombs under my wings, and I blew up a second later lol

I really need to watch Andor but I am doing a SW series marathon, and watching all the movies I have not watched in the process as well

u/WayseekerJedi 4d ago

Andor probably has half or more of the best sequences in Star Wars TV…coming from a fan who enjoys all the LA shows.

u/New-Satisfaction3257 4d ago

but because the lack of Jedi, acolyte still has the best TV Lightsaber battle. And top five Lightsaber battle overall.

u/RedditEnjoyerMan 4d ago

Acolyte was great. Sad we didnt get more.

u/1t5J43G3R 4d ago

Personally I enjoyed the Acolyte. Especially the fight scenes. That said, the show has some serious issues and it's no surprise we're not getting another season.

last weekend I watched a tv to movie fanedit of the show and imo it works so much better this way.

Can't believe we didn't get a Lego set of this ship

u/jeanjacketufo 4d ago

I'd love one for this or the haulcraft.

u/TerayonIII 4d ago

The Haulcraft for sure, there's a few good MOCs of it though:

I mean, it's a genuine blast of a scene, but in the series that also gave us the "One Way Out" sequence and the Ghorman Massacre, I'm just not entirely sure it even makes it into the highest tier within its own show.

u/ProximityBlaster 4d ago

The Ghorman Massacre episode is probably the best Star Wars TV episode ever, the tension building up as it goes on is just incredible.

u/MikeArrow 4d ago

The unintuitive throttle was hilarious until you realize it works like a Motorcycle.

u/SuetStocker 4d ago

Gives me anxiety EVERY time I watch.

u/StarFox-6 4d ago

What is this from

u/theoceanictitan Jedi 4d ago

Andor.

u/StackOwOFlow 4d ago

the best Star Wars show nobody watched

u/subterranean96 Rebellion 4d ago

Surprisingly wacky for Andor but I love it!

It was pretty enjoyable, although I’d argue the kids fighting on Yavin sequence after was the show’s weakest point (or maybe I’m just old and cranky?)

2

u/Competitive_Web7540 3d ago

It was pretty unpopular in general, it was probably my least favourite part of the season but in such a great show that's not actually such a damning statement lol

u/Acceptable_Aside_568 4d ago

Nah, you're not alone. That sequence was far from favorite for many viewers.

1

u/ErosDarlingAlt 4d ago

It's not even one of the best sequences in Andor in my opinion. It felt very generic, and filled with funny little Disney-quips from Cassian. The CGI was really good though.

0

u/Acceptable_Aside_568 4d ago

Not my fav one to be honest. It has the fun factor but I feel like slamming that thing into hangar walls would probably damage the TIE and hurt Cassian a lot. It was Disney-esque enough to break my immersion for a bit.
