Why it might be better to wait and watch the new 'Star Wars' series 'Andor' in batches of episodes, not every week

The first three episodes of Disney+'s new "Star Wars" series, "Andor," were easy to watch.

The first three episodes of "Andor" felt like a single, two-hour episode.

Each show had an end. The endings were more like quick breaks than conclusions. That is done by design.

The show's creator, Tony Gilroy, who was brought in for rewrites and reshoots on the 2016 movie "Rogue One," has said that he knew how he wanted to start and end the series.

"I knew where it was going to go," he said. When we arrived at the writers room, I knew what the first three episodes were about.

He suggested that the next three would have the same structure as a bunch of episodes that deal with one event.

The ramifications of that event will be four, five, and six. There will be a whole new block of things to occur.

"Andor" can be broken down by the first three episodes; episodes four, five, and six; episode seven as its own thing; eight, nine, and 10; and then eleven and twelve as the final episodes.

Considering the rest of the series will have a similar structure, I'm tempted to watch the show based on the first three episodes.

I would have to wait a few weeks to watch it again if I decided to do that, because "Andor" will be released on Disney+ every week.

Since it's a good show, it's tempting to watch it weekly. It's the best "Star Wars" series since "The Mandalorian" as I was disappointed by "The Book of Boba Fett" and "Obi-Wan Kenobi." Watching every week might ruin the experience, as "Andor" is aiming for.

There is a second season for "Andor." The entire series will take place over the course of two seasons.

Five years before the events of "Rogue One" the first season begins. The next four seasons will be covered in the second season. The second season of the show will be broken down into three parts, with each part covering one year.

"We're going to take our four blocks of three episodes in the second half of the show and each block is going to represent another year closer," he said. In the first 12 episodes, we get to take the formative forging of Cassian Andor and then we get to run it through the next four years in a really exciting narrative way.
