It's all much more complicated than it needs to be, but at least Andor commits to building an expansive, self-contained world rather than plopping down on Tatooine yet again.
Score: 92
-Andrew James Myers, TV Guide
With sharper edges than this franchise is used to, a previously peripheral character has set up one of the most intriguing starts to a live-action Star Wars entry so far.
Score: 80
-John Nugent, Empire
It’s a promising stab at bringing the franchise back down to Earth (so to speak), favoring compelling new characters and guerilla-warfare action over lavish, force-related mythologizing. Buoyed by Luna’s sturdy headlining turn, Andor has the sort of jagged, weathered spirit that’s been missing for too long in this far, far away galaxy
Score: 70
-Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
A prequel to a prequel, "Andor" brings a gritty tone and look to the "Star Wars" universe, as much the washed-out landscape of "Blade Runner" as George Lucas' far-away galaxy. Yet whatever promise that entails is mostly lost in flabby storytelling, essentially stretching what would have been a 10-minute movie prologue over the first three episodes.
Score: 45
Brian Lowry, CNN
While it’s a bit of a slow burn of a show, Andor draws you in because it is so thoroughly and messily human. Andor is Star Wars, distilled down to its revolutionary soul.
Score: 90
