What was your favorite moment in Andor?

If only all of StarWars was at this quality. Show had me locked in from start to finish. It’s crazy how great writing can make a show with very little action, still keep you at the edge of your seat.

Luthen's monolog in episode 10 is absolutely epic.

Little detail that got me: in Episode 11 as Brasso is going through the Andor house, he notices that Maarva cleaned Cassian’s room (which was tossed by the Syril and his crew in episode 3) showing that Maarva always expected Cassian to return even though he mostly slept out in the junkyard while on the run during the series. The contrast between Cassian and Syril’s mothers succinctly tells you all you need to know about their respective sides and perspectives on the Universe. Likewise, it informs how they find romantic partners (for Cassian, intimacy is easy; for Syril, intimacy is unsettling and has an element of possessiveness). Just great writing. I wasn’t there when my mother passed and it felt relatable when Cassian (and the audience) wasn’t there for his mother’s passing. We don’t always get a tidy bow on life. People like Kino can come into our life, have a significant influence on us, and we never see them again “I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong” absolutely wrecks me.

By the last episode it should be clear that Cinta killed all the hostages. Her mind has become dark.

Andor has several "strong female characters" that you root for. Thats quality writing instead of dumb agenda pushing. That includes a character we root for awhile at the same time hating her and hating us for rooting for her. There is more writing quality inn 5 minutes of Deedra Meero or Mon Mothma than in 5 hours of Galadriel in Rings of Power or that woman from episodes 7 to 9. I even forgot her name, despite being the main character of the horrible Disney sequel trilogy

This show made me love Star Wars again. This is what I've always wanted. I'm so tired of Jedi and Sith, so it's nice to take time exploring the true underbelly of the galaxy and the birth of a rebellion that feels realistic. It's about time they started focusing on the "War" part in Star Wars again. Also I'm the 66th like 😎😎😎

The reason why some things are told that they happened and we don't get to see them, is, of course, money. It's much cheaper to do it this way. And if you ask me, Andor is one of the actually good Disney SW ideas. And based on how much money they are bleeding due to mismanagement, I'd say corner cutting is here to stay.

Best streaming show of 2022.

39:15 You talked over the “That’s just love…” scene! ☹️

This was a great reaction, and a great series. I honestly think that it was written from the rix road scene - this was a show about the start of the rebellion - and how there needed to be a spark to set the real rebellion off (which came from Marva Andor). But for that scene to work - it NEEDS to be earned... and the whole series is a massive build up, of convincing Kassian that people need to step up and fight and not just run away from the problem that is the empire. Brilliant story, and awsome that its in star wars too :)

Nice to see you finish this. This series elevates the type of stories you can tell in the SW universe without narrowing the focus to a handful of characters and their families. For me, I would love season 2 to have Brasso and Cassian running missions and Bix helping with logistics of what the growing Rebellion will need. We may lose Brasso by the time of Rogue One, but I'm kinda hoping we see Bix has survived, but bittersweet at the loss of her friends. Wouldn't mind seeing Kino Loy return as a Rebel Ground Commander. My theory about the sister thing early on was that after Cassian was rescued, Maarva and Clem went back to save the rest or what remained of the tribe and his sister was among them. They begin to form a small smuggling ring, maybe like what we saw in SOLO, and set up shop on Ferrix where other kids were adopted and they had that tight knit community. All the friends of Cassian seemed to be human with "dark" features, so this supported it and why they'd put up with him as well. It would also explain why he was looking for his sister at the start. Maybe months earlier she got fed up with being on Ferrix and ran away. She was spotted at the brothel by someone from Ferrix and then told Cassian, kicking it off. But with Maarva saying that they're all dead, put the kaibosh on the theory. The way it is now, they should never address her again and certainly not see her in season two. It's a big flaw for me the way they have it and any sort of miraculous reunion would be a slap in the face of good writing.

Congrats if you found this early! I'm not releasing it until July 27th. 🥳

Season 2 of the series has been delayed.

Anything Star Wars is Aces in my book!

I was kinda hoping to see what Kyle's reaction would be and if they were subverted or if the show was as he expected.

I keep trying to wipe off the little cursor on the left side of the screen

Mon Mothma daughter fate was not that bad. Arranged marriages existed for thousands of years. It's only in the last 100 years that they disappeared even in the west. Her daughter wanted it. She would surely ask her father for a betrothal if her mother didn't accept. And anyway, it was not even a real betrothal. As he said, simply an introduction. He seemed to be quite positive his son would be charming enough for the daughter to like him and things go forward. If you think about it, she was protecting her family. Anyone attached to her will soon be persecuted by the empire. The sooner her family fights with her and leaves her, the better for them And it's the theme of the season 1. SACRIFICE. Luthen sacrifice. Kino sacrifice, knowing he couldn't escape for he couldn't swim Luthen realizes Andor is ready to join the rebellion when he shows he is ready to sacrifice himself. Kill me or take me in. He is all in. Thinking about it, Luthen never wanted to kill Andor. He knew what a great asset he was. That's why he personally met him, quite a big risk. And then forced Andor upon the group in the Aldani heist. He thought however that Andor would join. His partner in the antique store even criticizes him for being not careful enough. It was a great disappointment that Andor did not join and became a loose end. So when Andor shows on his own account and tells he is ready to give his life for the rebellion, it was Luthen big bet paying off.

I think this format is too long.
