I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is the best written, acted and filmed series in the Star Was universe (the animated series are separate). Finally adult, credible, coherent content. A series that doesn't abuse fanservice and silly, childish action to cover up its lack of ideas; on the contrary, everything happens here without a shot being fired, except when necessary. Mon Mothma's dialogues were a delight. Bravo!

The entire Mon & Tay scene needs to be watched in silence to appreciate every single inflection in her voice ,the slight emotional changes on her face and the almost imperceptible body movements she makes. Pair that with her stunning wardrobe it's just a master-class of all aspects of film creation. Love it

I so BADLY wanted Cassian to tell Marrva that he was the one who did the Aldani heist. She would have been SO proud of him.
@calarencrow7480 Жыл бұрын
I did also, but I could see that Cassian did not want to feed her more inspiration towards rebellion. She would start thinking something in the same way as "My own son was responsible for the rebel attack, NOW I MUST FIGHT". He just wanted to keep her safe.

That was a good reference with Princess Leia quote “The more you tighten your grip the more Star systems will slip through your fingers.” I never really paid too much attention before to that line of dialogue very much but that line means more after seeing an episode like this.

This is essentially a power grab by the ISB. The Imperial Army dropped the ball so the ISB is stepping in and doing things the "correct way" and conveniently enlarging its powerbase and authority by a massive amount. They do not really know if the heist was rebel activity or just a daring for-profit crime but they are using it as a pretext for expanding their power and reach. They are hoping to inspire enough terror that it suppresses any resentment from the populace. We know that they are wrong about that.

@@thedarkknight2221 I think part of that is down to theme. The Mandalorian is more action-oriented, and has Baby Yoda to help bring in others. Andor's reception feels a bit like how Rogue One was received - slow at first, then building as people realise what it's trying to do.

On the Empire podcast (8/19), Tony Gilroy called episode 7 an 'interstitial episode' not necessarily following the three episode arcs of the previous 6. He said 1-3 and 3-6 are separate arcs. & is an interstitial episode, then 8-10 and 11-12 are different arcs as well. Given how this episode (7) ends, I wouldn't be surprised by a time jump at the start of episode 8...

I’m such a fan of this slow burn when it comes to the action. I feel that if the audience pays attention, the build up, the suspense, the intrigue is building the tension. At no point are we, the audience, allowed to relax. For me, I’m truly enjoying that specifically. That story building, character building, is what seemed to be missing in other shows

@jjstarrprod Жыл бұрын
So from what I 've read from Tony Gilroy, he mentioned that the whole series is indeed structured in mini trilogies, with the exception of episode 7 that is a stand alone episode, kind of a mid season inbetween episode. Since season 1 covers a year in the Star Wars timeline, I guess this one is the fallout of Aldhani, and when ep 8 kicks off the next trilogy, a little time jump of a few months if not a year would have passed already. So 8-9-10 would be the next arc, then 11-12 will be the season finale. Something I love with this show is that the writing is so cleverly excellent that it recontextualizes everything in Rogue One and the entire Star Wars OG trilogy ! Now we get to see all the personal motivations (the little forgotten history footnotes) that led to this massive Galactic-wide hatred for the Empire, and in hindsight, this whole show elevates Rogue One and the OG trilogy (compared to the sequels trilogy that brought the whole franchise down).

The 3 episodes arcs resemble one movie each. Gilroy said episode 7 is a standalone. 8, 9 & 10 will be another arc. 11 & 12 the season finale. Not every episode needs to be action driven. This was a tense & heartbreaking episode. It was firing on all cylinders. From writing, acting, visuals, styling & music. Very good social commentary on how facial eradicates ethnic populace, creates more rebels. How revolutions define & splinters. Lucien is leaning towards being a terrorist & Mom is about establishing an opposing force to the empire. We know between the 2 which philosophy thrives.

Mon Mothma is at odds with what Luthen orchestrated on Antaari. But Luthen insists the these are what must be done to bring bown the Empire, no Senate discussions. Cassian's mother revealt her and her husband's longtime involvement in tbe Rebellion. Cassian checks on and says his goodbyes to Bix. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and speaking in the wrong tone to an imperial, land Cassian a 6 yr jail sentence. This more than anything else will turn Cassian into a Rebel. He will have long of time to read Nemik's Manifesto.
