The joy from seeing Smeagol in Star Wars. The Precious needs us to be on program.

love how interesting the characters are, the perspective of the scene changes everything

Absolutely. The more showy performances of more charismatic characters get mentioned more but he’s been absolutely fantastic throughout the series. He expresses so much through his eyes, expressions and even his posture. Flippin’ brilliant acting.

If They made a buddy-cop show set in the Star Wars universe with Dedra Meero and Cyril Karn as the protagonists, I might just watch that. What do You guys think?

@@alessiocapone9816 Who knows? Maybe that will be a key feature of series 2!

@@jazzx251 I hope so!

I think he was completely unaware that he was a whisker away from some terrible trouble - he naiively believes in "law and order" and thinks the Empire thinks the same way. He doesn't know about Narkina 5 and the Imperial horror show that visits every planet it conquers. He thinks he was a great cop, doing good for the community ... not realising that he was enabling the worst ever regime! ... and thanks to Andor we get to see how truly disgusting a regime The Empire is - because it's made up of normal people who think they're doing a good thing, but are part of a horrendous collective structure that destroys cultures, and uses dead alien children's voices as a method of torture. They also indulge in the common right-wing fantasy "If you don't want to do the time, then don't do the crime" .. as if that cures everything, and gives them an excuse to turn prisoners into slave labour! Fantastic show!:)

@@jazzx251 And that makes Syril's charecter motivations even more tragic. He will eventually realize His mistakes. After all, no-one stays blind forever in these situations, but I think it will be far too late for Syril to make a difference, If the show continues on it's non-conformist path, that is.

Loool... somewhat believable... Probably too much of the flavour. ^^

The face acting of this show is fucking exceptional. So many little details to see in the characters faces. I've seen the show so many times and still find new things on each watch.

​@@Nyx_2142even Willi (the old man who talks to Luthen in ferry bus in ep 2) is played by an amazing actor, every single actor brigs their A game, the judge in ep 7, dc. Gorst in ep 9, even child actors characters like Leida or young Cassian are great.

Which from the trailer I think it will such as much as Ahsoka

I think it shows the propaganda machine in operation AND how even those “facts” change in the minds of the believers . Earlier Perrin says “The Rebels should have thought about that before blowing up Aldhani”.

So good you're here :D

Enjoy ☺️

Does anyone else agree with my assesment of the Empire's regional administrive structure? I think I got it right... Please insert your opinions below.

But you know that Yularen is deputy director of ISB at this point? when empire has risen, he resign from admiral rank and position in navy and join to newly created ISB. First he was an liaison between the ISB and the Naval Intelligence Agency. And in that way he build his way to the position of deputy director that was create when ISB and NIA was merged. Edit: Lio Partagaz is only head of ISB board in their central. So for me, Yularen showed more attention to Dedra's case because his direct subordinate supported it.

@@wojtek561 I must have missed that. Admiral uniform is white in the Empire Navy, too.

​@@evanflynn4680Grand admiral have white uniforms with golden shoulder pads. Normal admirals have those olive or how you will name that color.

I'm sure many of the prisoners fall into the mindset the Empire wants them in. Kino isn't stupid, but he's entirely focused on just getting through each day to reach the end of his sentence.

Fair points, but don't forget the "evil" Empire is still bad as it pretends to be a system of justice, but at the same time incarcerates people, because a stormtrooper said they were involved in "anti-imperial activity" without providing further evidence and without giving the person the option to defend themselves in court. And no, this didn't happen because of the PORD. It would've happened the same, only the sentance lenght would be six months, not six years. Would you like to go on a forced labor for six months because you were going to the shop while the police was chasing randoms in the area ?

Em no, most of the prisoners are probably innocent, we saw how the court system is corrupted, they used aldhani as an excuse for injustice and doubling exsisting sentences etc.. they need as many prisoners as possible to build their war machinery, this labor camp isnt alright by any means, empire is bad, its a fascist dictatorship based on Nazi Germany basically, so please stop being a dick by justyfying its actions. I get why many people become part of the empire, like it just worth it to serve as a stromtrooper when u are a poor no one, but for the citizens who arent direct imperials living in Core Worlds, its horror, u can feel the oppression from the things like hangings of people on streets, questionings and so on. This show shows grey areas to both rebels and imperials, but the bad vs good is still there, thats the core story of sw.

Correct about that being a problem with the arc. The audience is just supposed to side with the Prisoners because it's the Empire, while ignoring the fact that it's still a Prison.

I'm afraid that you've grossly misunderstood what the show is telling us. Yes, Andor has committed crimes before, but he wasn't arrested and imprisoned for anything that he'd actually done. He was arrested for something that he had nothing to do with, in the absence of any evidence, just because a random trooper didn't like how he looked. The (imagined) crimes of which he was accused included things like "being critical of the government" that would be protected civil rights in a free nation (and is the whole reason that "free speech" as a concept exists). He wasn't actually tried and convicted, not by the standard of any free and democratic nation: no evidence of his guilt was presented, and he wasn't allowed to present any defense or evidence of his innocence, and even threatened with additional charges if he tried to argue for his innocence. (And he was absolutely innocent of the crime that he was actually accused of, regardless of what else he might have done.) As for the other prisoners there, do we have any reason to believe that any of them weren't put there by similar miscarriages of justice? They've all been "assessed as labor worthy," probably exactly because they *aren't* violent offenders who will be difficult to control. Remember the guy who was in front of the judge right before Andor was accused of having an unleashed dog that pooped on the ground. Is that a crime worthy of forced labor and torture? Andy Serkis has said that his theory is that Kino Loy was arrested for trying to start a labor union, which isn't a crime at all, not in a free nation. How many of them weren't guilty of anything, but were sentenced for imagined crimes? How many committed what would be misdemeanors or legal acts in our world and were sentenced to years of imprisonment? And we know for a fact that none of them received a fair trail, because we've seen what constitutes a "trial" in the Empire. And even if they were guilty of something, that doesn't justify condemning them to a life of slavery where 1/7th of the population is tortured with electric shocks every day for no reason beyond to motivate them to work themselves to death even harder. That's unconscionable to do to anyone. and there's certainly no reason to think that this specific prison existed during the Republic, given that it's here specifically to provide forced labor for *SPOILER*. As for the Empire, they are a fascist dictatorship, and opposing them is the moral imperative of all freedom-loving people. Yes, the series delves into the morally-ambiguous nature of what fighting for a revolution entails in a way that other Star Wars media rarely has, and that's part of what makes it so brilliant, but what's in question is the means, not the ends. Since you mentioned other reaction videos then I'm sure you know what's going to happen, and we see the evils of the Empire, not just in the huge, sweeping things that the movie showed us like the destruction of Alderaan or having an evil space wizard in charge, but in the mundane, banal evils that a dictatorship commits every day. There's no question that the cause is just, even if the methods sometimes aren't. The Empire *is* evil.

Wow, never seen anyone miss the point this hard. Yeah, the Empire is bad. They arrested Andor for no good reason and gave him a harsh sentence because of the actions of others. It's pure coincidence that he happened to commit a "terrorist" act. And yes, there could be bad people in the prison. Does this justify the inhumane treatment? Honestly, what the hell are you going for with this comment? Are you just a fascist in real life? That's the only reason I can see someone making a tacit defense for The Empire.
