'Andor' Episode 5 may have been another slow-burn chapter, but Star Wars aficionados get the logic behind the pacing. While most expected a mission-ready rebel team that now included Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) to grab the Imperial's quarterly payroll, it wasn't to be as the series still ample light on their preparation. While some fans it was a slow off the blocks, some lavished praise on the gripping narrative.

For those who haven't caught the show, here's the official synopsis: "The Andor series will explore a new perspective from the Star Wars galaxy, focusing on Cassian Andor’s journey to discover the difference he can make. The series brings forward the tale of the burgeoning rebellion against the Empire and how people and planets became involved.

I'm loving how not modern Star Wars feeling this is and all the character development and conversions," a fan lamented. "I understand not everyone is gonna like this episode, but the tensity between the characters not trusting each other and Andor trusting no one is interesting it’s definitely a slow burn and build up #Andor #StarWars," one of the fans opined.
