The music choice is worrying, not Star Wars at all and it seems lighter in tone but I still have high hopesā€¦

Yeah. That sounded so out of place.

I think the lighter tone is a concerted effort to make this series look like a bombastic action series in the Marvel vein, but itā€™s actually going to be more of the same.

Also distancing itself from the ā€œStar Warsinessā€ could be an effort to get some distance between it and the negative reaction to the last few Star Wars series; Acolyte (which I personally liked but it appears nobody else did), Skeleton Crew being well received but not hitting the viewing expectations, and the cooling off of Mandalorian.

Andor is great partly because of its non-StarWarsiness, eg. no Jedis, not many aliens, no Force talk, no big theme tune.

The theme tune was actually really imporant in the first serise as each eposide had a new added layer to the opening, adding build up until you got the full song and the uprising. Music always felt inworld, if it be orchestral or the Mos Eisley lounge band, they only recently broke away from this in one of the Acolyte credits, it was shit then too.

I really rate this trailer. Iā€™m imagining that the music in S2 will be similar to S1, but the trailer music was designed to get people talking.
The editing is unlike other Star Wars trailers, too. Iā€™m into it.

Either gonna be even worse starwars or hopefully something better. Who knows , itā€™s never gonna get back its mojo with Disney .

Kennedy has been the main problem with Disney Star Wars in my personal opinion. Canā€™t wait until someone new is at the helm.

I donā€™t remember anyone complaining about using Peter Schilling - major tom for Skeleton Crew, granted it was sung in Hutt-ese. The final product will be perfect. I canā€™t see them doing a game of thrones and having the Hold Steady covering jabbas palace band.

Really looking forward to this.
