George R.R. Martin loves Star Wars

By: Jake Rajala

George R.R. Martin is a legendary figure in entertainment. His baby, Game of the Thrones, is one of the most popular TV series in the history of television. Of course, he is recognized as one of the best authors of all time. His first book, “Game of Thrones” came out in 1999 (which is the same year that I was born).

Voici le plus bel édit de « GAME OF THRONES »

Après avoir révolutionné la télévision, HBO a franchi un cap avec cette série. 👏

Well, he has passed on his praise to another blossoming TV Series. This one was in the world of Star Wars. It was called, “Andor”. It’s hard to blame him, as Andor has a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score. It was the highest non-animated Star Wars show.

So, he gave props to Andor. He said, “Andor was this year’s highlight, though”. He called it, “far and away the best of the Star Wars’s spin-off’s.”

Few things will be able to match how this particular moment in the second season of ANDOR made me feel.

Mon Mothma’s speech to The Imperial Senate is so well written and thematically profound, that every rewatch still feels like you’re listening to it for the first time.… https://t.co/JKp6JpoeTO pic.twitter.com/WwU64jF1N4

He continued, “Looked gorgeous. Diego Luna was first rate, and there was a realism and tension to the story that was sadly lacking in most of the other spin-offs. It’s nice to see some doing science fiction right.”

Martin isn’t finished with his work in fiction. He is working on “The Winds of Winter”, which has no release date thus far. Martin has indicated that he’s 75% finished with the book. Martin has noted that the book and show will not have the same ending.

Personally, I love Andor the most, as well. I would put the Mandalorian and Obi’-Wan Kenobi as the next best pieces of work. Skeleton Crew is underrated, too.
