	Media	Author	Review
		Simon Cardy IGN	"[It] is off to a fantastic start thanks to its compelling performances (...) and considered filmmaking. It’s not only shaping up to be a great 'Star Wars' show, but one that could make its mark on the overall TV landscape"
		Caroline Framke Variety	"[It] marks a huge, and hugely welcome, departure from Disney+’s typical 'Star Wars' model (...) [it] tells a rich, patient story of how a rebellion sparks into flame"
		Karama Horne The Wrap	"Refreshing, character-rich series may be the best 'Star Wars' story yet"
		Maggie Lovitt Collider	"A slow, bright burn as Diego Luna finds his place at the heart of the rebellion"
		John Nugent Empire	"Expansive and ambitious, it gives you a real feeling of a wider universe (...) one of the most intriguing starts to a live-action 'Star Wars' entry so far (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	“A welcome return to tactile environments, meaningful arcs, and gripping battles (...) [it] has established itself as the most deeply felt 'Star Wars' series yet"
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"There is barely any shape to these first four episodes (...) It’s a shame, not only because Luna’s Cassian Andor occupies an interesting place, but because Andor gets off to a promising start"
		Dominic Patten Deadline	"That is no small part why 'Andor' is a series to watch and stick with even though you know how it ultimately (...) ends. Trick is: you just walk in, like you belong"
		Roxana Hadadi Vulture	"The interiority and self-reflection it demands have created the most challenging and invigorating work in this galaxy in years"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"These episodes simply have a richer visual language, taking into account things like artistic framing and a production design of a world that's more lived-in and three-dimensional"
		Ed Power Telegraph	"Agreeably chewy prequel to the best of the recent-ish Jedi films, 'Rogue One' (...) Taut and dark (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Belen Edwards Mashable	"This is the streaming age, where narratives are too-often stretched and bloated.' Andor' is no exception, and no amount of beautiful cinematography or Star Wars-style showdowns can hide that"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"It may be the first 'Star Wars' project that critics have ever needed to refer to as 'slow' (...) But at the same time, I appreciated its efforts to create a wholly grounded and mostly ground-level piece of storytelling"
		Rodrigo Perez The Playlist	"If 'Andor' is slow to start, it ignites with fury in episodes three and four, paving the way to a show that, so far, feels gripping in its tension and resolve"
		Vanessa Armstrong SlashFilm	"[It] is distinctly different from what we've already seen in 'Star Wars' — it's grittier and takes its time, and it is really, really good"
		Graeme Guttmann Screen Rant	"[It] is visually stunning, politically intriguing, and anchored by Diego Luna's steely performance as Cassian and a slew of fascinating characters"
		Ross McIndoe Slant	"[It] has all the scruffy charm and boundless raw potential of its eponymous main character (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Joshua Rivera Polygon	"'Andor' broke down its hero by building up his home"
