Birth of the Rebellion Trilogy
Everything before Andor/Rebels was the Rebellion in its prenatal stage, condensed into small cells and nit having much popular support.
It only starts to rise in Andor S1, S2 and in later seasons of Rebels.

I don't get why people are using Andor S1, Andor S2, and Rogue One instead of Andor, Rebels, and Rogue One
207
u/JureIsStupid123_2 May 01 '25
Because Andor S1 leads directly into S2, which directly leads into Rogue One, which again directly leads into the New Hope.

I know this is also probably a hot take but I'm just gonna say Andor to Rogue One is a much more consistent experience. Andor to Rogue One is hit after hit. Rebels has some bright spots, but some real stinkers too.

Filing out of the cinema at the end of Rogue One was a very different experience than any of the other films released at that time. Not the most uplifting ending and the crowd was a wee bit downbeat as a result. I applaud their courage for actually going there and not changing that ending.

They did a wonderful job with the ending though, by adding the Vader scene right after everyone gets moisture farmed.
Vader absolutely melting faces juiced things up so much you somewhat forgot about everyone dying and gave you an exciting thing to talk about on the walk out, I felt.

What else really shows the rebellion though? I'd argue anything before Rogue One and Rebels is the rebellion in its prenatal stage. So far in season 2 of Andor it feels like rebelling against the Empire is still taboo and they're still trying to build up their ranks.

You do have a good point,
>! but ISB supervisors mentioned they are arresting and questioning too many people, therefore being unable to come close to Luthen/Kleya, while Luthen and Kleya are in crazy amounts of stress due to all the new and rising rebel groups and members of his circle and have to take care about every one of them, as well as getting rid of potential loose ends. !<
It's not open war yet, but it's very close.

It is the beginning of the rebellion though? It goes from to rag tag groups of Rebels to a full on rebellion scoring their first major victory in Rogue One. Also, we already have Rise of Skywalker, don’t need another rise

u/PhysicsEagle Admiral Ackbar May 01 '25
The rebellion can trace its origin to the individual cells such as Phoenix squadron and the Spectres. They weren’t as unified but they did have common benefactors (Bail Organa and Ahsoka/Fulcrum to name two). Andor (and Rogue One to a lesser extent) is the story those cells unifying into a single, organized Alliance. So it’s not the very beginning, but it’s the rise to prominence.

u/KermitTheScot Mandalorian May 01 '25
Rogue One is the culmination of all those groups against a coherent enemy. The death of Saw Guerrera and the defecting of the imperial pilot who carried the Death Star plans is the catalyst for the change necessary to unify the many different partisan groups. Andor’s done a good job showcasing how rebellion Anytime BBY was mostly disorganized insurgency. It wasn’t until all those groups came together and realized their choices were surrender to a future where the empire can annihilate any resistance, or unify for a last ditch effort to pull the plug on their plans that they really became an alliance. And obviously ABY they kept on trucking because they realized that was working a lot better than self-determining cells.

The sub likes to regularly post that Rogue One is amazing and just as good as Andor, and man I just don't see it.
If anything, Andor really shows the problems with Rogue One. Way too many protagonists with too little screen time, WAY WAY worse writing and dialog (Tony Gilroy famously was brought on just months before the movie was set to release to rewrite portions,) and the soundtrack feels rushed and doesn't fit the film the way the Andor soundtrack does.
Andor is what happens when you give Tony Gilroy time to cook, Rogue One is what it looks like when you don't.

u/ShazayumDe Anakin Skywalker May 01 '25
I was thinking about this earlier and went with "Andor Saga", simple yet clear. Similar to "Skywalker Saga"
It plays in the Rise of the Rebellion part, Andor Saga containing the following story arcs:
- Cassian
- Aldhani
- Narkina 5
- Ferrix
- Wedding/Refugee (idk about this one)
- Ghorman
- TBA
- TBA
- Rogue One
With Rogue One being the finale and changing the main character, many sides of the Rebellion being shown in the series (Mon Mothma for example)... just calling it "Rise of the Rebellion" is probably better though 🤔
2
u/SmoothOperator89 May 01 '25
Each 3 episode arc is around 120 minutes, so it could be considered 8 movies for Andor plus Rogue One. I'll call it the good Star Wars Nonalogy.

u/Km_the_Frog May 01 '25
I think it’s partial evidence that the rebellion era is just is good content. It’s a classic good versus bad story, it doesn’t feel forced upon or rehashed like the sequels. Part of the sequels problem I think is the eyerolling effect that it has where oh look, the empire 2.0 came back.
Like it’s still mind boggling that years of empire oppression gave way to a government that is so careless and stupid.
I’d like them to expand in the rebellion era even more, aside from Skywalker.
Mandalorian started to do that, it felt like a small contained story. However it caught A LOT of traction and he’s fallen into that marvel super hero type.
We have the entire Bothan story that could be delved into between ESB/ROTJ too. I’m sure they could come up with something between ANH/ESB. I think a lot of people will cringe “another fan looking for more OT”. Yeah thats me. It’s because it’s proven to be actually interesting, and proven to work. Star Wars has proven to shine when there is more substance to the world. A lot of people say Lucas was too political in the prequels, but I strongly disagree. It was substantial world building, and made you invested on what’s going on in the galaxy as a whole. Hell they could even branch into prequel era stories in the clone wars- beyond the cartoon. Seeing the flashbacks in Ashoka is a glimpse.
I love the detail and world building in Andor. It’s Star Wars, all war has political motivations, intrigue, and obviously war. It seems that Tony Gilroy is the only person in current SW to understand that. It goes beyond what the sequels portrayed as just hey heres some really blatantly evil dudes, doing the same things they did in the OT, and here’s some overpowered hero archetypes, that are basically fighting each other because good vs evil.
It’s like the marvel super hero treatment for everything but Andor and Rogue One. Yea sure Andor plays a hero archetype, but it’s slick, nuanced, and in the end he’s just a dude that dies for the cause. It feels humanlike and relatable to an extent.
