Fantastic Four star Pedro Pascal has finally caught up with one of the best Star Wars shows of all time, Andor, a few months after the release of season 2. The actor, who will return to the sci-fi saga next year in The Mandalorian & Grogu, took to social media to celebrate the beloved series.

"Unforgivably late to this party. The best political thriller series maybe ever?," he said on Instagram (via Reddit).

Pascal is not the only one who has recently applauded the show starring Diego Luna. Game of Thrones writer George R. R. Martin said last month that "Andor was this year's highlight", praising "a realism and tension to the story" that was "sadly lacking" in most of the Star Wars shows. "It’s nice to see someone doing science fiction right," Martin said.

"These aren't great moment-to-moment [performances]. These are epic, long-term character studies that they’ve done over 24 episodes. I think the ultimate victory is that these performances will be celebrated and discussed for years to come. I feel confident about that," Gilroy said on the back of the Emmy announcement.
