‘Andor’ Season 2 Becomes the Highest Rated Star Wars TV Show or Movie.

Andor’ Season 2 Becomes the Highest Rated Star Wars TV Show or Movie. The acclaimed Tony Gilroy drama’s second season — which continues the story of Rebel Alliance fighter Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) — has the best critics score on Rotten Tomatoes of any live-action Star Wars TV show — or movie. Andor season two, which premieres tonight, currently has a 98 percent positive rating. The new season edged out the previous top-rated title which was … Andor season one (96 percent). Next comes the agreed-upon favorite of all Star Wars films, The Empire Strikes Back, which has 95 percent positive rating. (In case you’re wondering who actually gave a bad review to Empire, the few negative reviews seem to come from archival reviews published when the film was first released in 1980, with critics grousing that the Star Wars sequel is “too dark,” “confusing,” and, according to The New York Times, “bland“). The worst-reviewed live-action Star Wars title is 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker with only 51 percent — lower than even 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story (69 percent) and 2002’s Attack of the Clones (61 percent), which is a bit surprising. In terms of Andor, Disney+ gave the entire new season to critics in advance, so its score reflects the whole 12-episode run. For its other live action Star Wars titles, the studio often only sends a few episodes to critics before the show’s premiere — Disney+ sent three episodes of last year’s Skeleton Crew (92 percent positive) in advance and four for The Acolyte (78 percent positive).
