I think they spent so much time with the villagers to show that the Empire knows how to slow boil the frog and all the demands seem sort of reasonable until the end when you have nothing left of your culture and you're just a bunch of Empire mining/factory workers. This show is about the Empire slowing taking over using proxies like the Corpos or ruling with a softer touch, as they don't yet have the military might to crush everyone at once. You see that in their administrative system where every section head is fighting for resources. This show isn't just Cassian Andor's story, it's the story of how the Empire tried to conquer an entire Galaxy without enough resources and how people slowly began to resist.

It's a bit funny because the pacing of the show is part of what makes it fresh compared to other Star Wars shows by Disney which focuses on the bombast, and space wizards. The story is about the people the rebels, the Jedi, the clones, and the empire gloss over. Probably why it feels "mundane"/slow at times. I agree that some might be a smidge too long, but I like it that it puts a human face on the empire and the machinery/bureaucracy behind it, as well as the expendable rebels and what they had to go through to start the rebellion. It makes the Star Wars world feel more lived in. Andor as a series nails what Mandalorian season 3 tried to do with that clone scientist episode. Andor is closer to a slow burn political drama than the fast paced action drama series the other shows are. That said, love the reactions. Hoping you guys stick it out through the slow pacing so you don't miss out on some of the best acting and Star Wars characters in recent.

This. Palpatine didn't just hand wave and magic the empire into power (ugh the sequels). There's a machine behind it. Logistics, budget, exploitation, worker labor, etc. The rebellion also had to start the same way, politicians, merchants, citizens working behind the scenes trying to resist and organize. No space wizards leading them. And (I might be wrong) I think this is about the same time as the Clones were being decommissioned (Bad Batch). Think of this series as the show of what Ezra's parents (Rebels) were doing behind the scenes, while the Ghost crew were about doing the more exciting shit on the other parts of the galaxy. LOL
