Move over, Baby Yoda—there’s a new champion in town, and his name is Andor. The second season of the critically acclaimed Star Wars series has just pulled off a galactic flex that no other TV show—not even the internet’s beloved Severance or The Last of Us—has ever achieved.
Let’s say it together: five consecutive episodes with IMDb scores of 9.5 or higher.
Yes, Andor Season 2 has become the first television series in IMDb history to land that kind of praise across five back-to-back episodes. That’s not just good—it’s hyperspace good.
What Just Happened?
According to IMDb user ratings, Andor’s final stretch of Season 2 is basically flawless. Here’s how the numbers stack up:
- Episode 8, “Who Are You?” – 9.8
- Episode 9, “Welcome to the Rebellion” – 9.7
- Episode 10, “Make it Stop” – 9.6
- Episode 11, “Who Else Knows?” – 9.5
- Episode 12, “Jedha, Kyber, Erso” – 9.6
That’s a hall-of-fame lineup if we’ve ever seen one. These aren’t just respectable scores—these are the kind of ratings that make other prestige shows look like they’re phoning it in from the Outer Rim.
Breaking the Internet—One Episode at a Time
Andor isn’t just popular. It’s redefining what Star Wars on television can be. And now, it’s officially the first show ever to rack up five consecutive 9.5+ episodes. Not Game of Thrones. Not Breaking Bad. Not even The Sopranos.
Even compared to other 2025 powerhouses like Severance Season 2, The Last of Us Season 2, or The Studio, Andor is sitting comfortably on top. Let’s break it down:
- Severance Season 2? Just one 9.5 episode.
- The Last of Us Season 2? Still hasn’t cracked a 9.5.
- The Studio? Great laughs, but peaked at a 9.0.
Andor’s accomplishment is rare air—even The Clone Wars came close but didn’t quite make it. Its legendary final arc had four episodes over 9.7 but couldn’t land a fifth.
Why Andor’s Success Matters
What’s even more impressive is that Andor isn’t exactly Star Wars comfort food. There are no lightsabers. No Force ghosts. No Skywalkers staring at binary sunsets. It’s a gritty, political, slow-burn thriller about rebellion, oppression, and the gray areas of morality.
In short: It’s the kind of Star Wars story that doesn’t usually break the algorithm. But Andor has done just that—and with style.
The writing? Razor sharp.
The characters? Deeply layered.
The pacing? Slow, sure—but never dull.
It’s a show that trusts its audience. And clearly, that trust has been rewarded.
A Deeper Dive Into the Top Episodes
Let’s take a closer look at these record-setting episodes:
Episode 8: “Who Are You?” – 9.8
A masterclass in tension, identity, and loyalty. This one had viewers white-knuckling their remotes—and apparently, smashing the 10-star button.
Episode 9: “Welcome to the Rebellion” – 9.7
Saw Gerrera gets unhinged. Luthen Rael monologues like Shakespeare with a blaster. Rebellion never looked so good.
Episode 10: “Make it Stop” – 9.6
A psychological gut-punch that proves Andor doesn’t need action to leave a mark—it just needs a room, two actors, and a secret worth dying for.
Episode 11: “Who Else Knows?” – 9.5
Conspiracy, betrayals, and one of the tightest 40 minutes of TV in 2025. Not a single second wasted.
Episode 12: “Jedha, Kyber, Erso” – 9.6
The season finale that delivered everything it promised—emotional closure, narrative payoff, and some seriously high-stakes reveals.
Star Wars’ New Gold Standard
Before Andor, the crown for peak Star Wars TV belonged to The Clone Wars and The Mandalorian. And sure, both shows had their moments—Mando even hit a 9.8 for its Season 2 finale. But neither delivered this level of consistency. Not across five straight episodes. Not with this level of depth.
Andor Season 2 isn’t just riding the Star Wars brand. It’s reshaping what “quality” means in the galaxy far, far away.
Conclusion: The Rebellion Wins
Andor Season 2 didn’t just raise the bar—it launched it into orbit. By delivering five consecutive episodes rated 9.5 or higher on IMDb, it’s proven that audiences crave substance, storytelling, and stakes more than ever.
This wasn’t nostalgia bait. It wasn’t fan service. It was Star Wars for grown-ups—and it was glorious.
So yes, Andor made history. And if you’re still wondering whether to watch it? The IMDb ratings are speaking loud and clear. The Rebellion is televised—and it’s never been better.
