A big thank you to everyone who's watched this series with us, whether you're new to the channel or a regular. We love doing these series reactions for you. And what a finale! What was some of your favourite moment from Season 1 of Andor?

The realisation on Luthens face during Marvaa's wonderful speech was a wonderful moment in a lot of wonderful moments. 2 superb actors in a gorgeous cast of wonderful actors.

Luthen intrigues me, more so in this episode than others. What he said to Saw when he asked Luthen who he was, "I'm a coward". Luthen is willing to sacrifice people in the name of getting The Empire to react, but he never saw or physically partook in what the execution of his plans. Maarva's speech hit him hard. The brilliance of Tony Gilroy writing, Benjamin Caron's direction, and Stellan Skarsgård's acting really brings this out. No words, but you see Luthen internalize how Maarva was inspiring Ferrix without compromising her sole. Then seeing from afar the chaos and carnage that this actually causes. I think that had a part at the end when Cassian tells him to kill him or take him in. No longer is Cassian a mercenary and a liability, but someone who believes in the need to rebel, and is now an asset. I also think Luhten started healing a but, and may change his plans a bit. Be more inspirational than scorched earth.

There's just something about droids that when they're hurt or sad that hits harder. It's almost like a pet dog is in pain.

Andor is the best Star Wars content ever made.

This has been an excellent series, which really needs to be looked at not episode by episode but as a well-written novel. With that said, each episode has so many emotional moments to enjoy. In this episode, one moment that warmed my heart was Cassian and Brasso's hug in the tunnel. Clearly, Cassian needed that hug. He has been thru hell. He learns that his mom has died and is feeling the pain and guilt of her loss. He barely managed to escape the prison, but it's not lost on him that Kino and many others likely did not make it. But he is home now and is greeted by a friend who gives him the firm embrace he needs. He needed that recharge of the genuine love of family and community he had been missing. Cassian keeps so much of his pain hidden that he needs to let go and cry for all he has been through. But short of that, Brrasso's hug lifted him to a point where he needed to prepare for his next battle.

At first go, I missed that Mon was setting her husband up to take the fall for the missing money. Brilliant.

Despite being Star Wars, this series is down-to-earth, it doesn't rely on fantastic but impossible solutions because it's about people like us. Everything matters, every action has consequences just like in real life. I enjoyed the journey with these characters and look forward to seeing more of them. Great scripts and superb performances complimented by a thoughtful production. Andor is Star Wars at its best for adults!

One thing I love about this show above all else is that it actually portrayed the Empire in its prime as something of a threat. Yes, there is infighting and there is corruption (revealed in the show through ISB competition and the side comment about the Navy covering up failures respectively), but as an organization, its influence is hard to deny. Even when the show pushes forward with having a riot that has levels of success, the Empire would still hold a visible edge. For every Imperial taken down, four civilians would be apprehended. This is a stark contrast to how other shows would portray the Empire, where they are just disposable goons that just get mowed down for story progression; like in Kenobi. The story *says* that the Empire is to be feared and not to be taken head-on, but what they *show* is sweeping the floor with them with only one or two casualties.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the dialog in this show really sets it apart from (and in my opinion above) all other Star Wars media.

34:13 The won't though. Cassian didn't know what the Death Star was in Rogue one, right? It was the Empire's very top secret project. Not even Saw knew of it until it was too late. Had Cassian known about it, what he was building, Jyn wouldn't have needed to convince him about her father's message.

What really hits me is that the people of Rix Road probably weren't gonna win the fight to begin with. But they fought anyway. And even if they fell, they would be avenged... soon.

This show has the best written lines of not just Star Wars but of all TV.

It just occurred to me that Luthen was trying to be all stealthy with his Palpatine-inspired jet black cloak and hoody, doing a terrible job of blending into a sea of people wearing subdued earth tones.

The Death Star being made via slavery makes it next level despicable, but remember, we know he never finds out he was helping build it. In Rogue One he never even heard of the Death Star until Jyn told him about it... and we know how that ends so yeah.

Absolutely fantastic series. Stellar writing and acting. We also have to give praise to the casting directors, who are frequently forgotten. Perfect actors for perfect roles.

Another great reaction! Thank you for doing this amazing series. Favorite moments? The speeches, especially Luthen's. The Eye. The grittiness. Realizing that just because you're fighting for good, doesn't mean you're a good person. I loved this series. Best writing in SW in a very long time.

The rebellion was born on Rix road.

I think Maarva would salute Brasso's choice of using her brick to smash Imperials.

Between Marva and that damn droid I teared up too many times in this series 🥺loved every moment of it

B2EMO drained its batteries to project a large Hologram of Maarva it was beautiful how this droid has surpass the legendary R2D2 for me.

23:52 Big Man putting his foot thru the Captain's sternum gets me HYPED!!!

When the dirge suddenly turned into to a rally, a march for war.... This is THE best Star Wars!

The most incredible parallel to Nemik's manifesto, like you touched on, was the convergence and change in tempo of the bands and the unified people of Ferrix vs the scrambling Empire who are so arrogantly and haphazardly configured at the start of the showdown. A unified people, workers united, a *natural* state of communal existence creating this tsunami-like forceful wave vs the empire's unnatural (and clearly fearful) attempt to organize and fight against that current of a people unified - I mean it was absolutely stunning, like visual poetry! I have loved watching you guys react to this series and you've got a new subscriber in me for sure! The pure love and expressive joy when you guys watch Star Wars together is so palpable and genuine, it makes me feel like I'm watching with my own very cool, very nerdy husband and friends 😊 Just wanted to say I appreciate you! Keep up the awesome work!

What a show. My favorite SW show for sure, and I dare say one of the best series I have watched on TV. I so want a LEGO set of B.

what a fantastic series, cannot wait for season 2!

Trent and Julia I love how you two do your breakdowns.

Mon throwing her husband under the bus: Damn, so stone cold.

Poor Cassian. He died in Rogue One trying to destroy the very same weapon he unintentionally helped build. 🥺😢

Loved your enthusiasm and emotional investment in this show - enjoyed each reaction! Going to be a LONG wait till S2! #Climb #Try

The fake gagging when Syril said you were in trouble. That’s why I love your channel! The best Star Wars reactors out there

Cassian literally helped build the weapon that would eventually kill him in Rogue One.

15:00 They started it on time. The Empire tried to push it back and the community ignored the permit.

This is FERRIX! Andor is brilliant.

Marvaa's speech seems to have changed a lot of people's views, from the snitch to Syril's Sargent Mosk to Luthen. Season two, according to the showrunner Tony Gilroy, won't finish filming until August of 2023 so we might not see it until 2024 or very late 2023 (but it will be worth it!)

20:12 I really liked that moment that is missing in almost every reaction, it shows the respect all the town had for the Andors, and how united the community was, Casian did not even doubt it, he knew he would not betray him.

Have seen this sequence at least a dozen times, many via review reaction videos. Yours was so enjoyable to watch with you, had to Subscribe and Like =)

Great, to wake up to this. :-) my top 3 honestly. Cheers from Canada

I could watch multiple seasons of a show about nothing but Brasso fleeing the Imperials and hopping from world to world, helping out innocent people as he goes, however they need. Be it odd jobs, just being someone they can count on, or once in a while knocking some pirate or Imperial heads. He's the best dude. Period.

appreciate the solid reaction and editing you two put into this. new sub!

Bix needs to heal.

Love you guys so much!

Andor make a part of death star, the weapon that he want to take down and also killing him.

27:20 Reminds me of the heavy blaster turrets in Battlefront 2004 that can blow through even the heavily-armored infantry with just a few shots.

Love the shirt! Actually both of you great shirts, but the Manda/back to the future is 🔥

Like a funeral in New Orleans.

Man I need a girlfriend or wife as passionate as this woman about Star Wars! I’d live happily ever after lol brillant series and I cannot wait until season 2! The show that most said was going to be garbage ended up being one of the best Star Wars shows of all time! Ain’t that something!

Can I share your video as a reaction video on my channel? 😊😊

I'm hoping Dedra and that other guy can work together, but I hope it's not a love story. Meanwhile, I hope Mon's daughter married that rich dude and that works out for Mon. Lol

Mon sacrificing her daughter for the cause...

Dedra's actress is Yennefer from Witcher 3 according to IMDB, but uncredited, wonder why...

I get the holo projections that droids can do, but where did the megaphone voice of Maarva come from? Does B2 double as a surround sound loudspeaker that can be heard all over town? Can't wait for the next season.

If there was a social org. called the Daughters of Ferrix, we can assume there are also the Sons of Ferrix. Do you think that Brazzo might be the current president and that is why he is carrying Marva's brick? I imagine that they are the guys wearing the red tunics.

You guys saying "that's so cruel to make prisoners build weapons of mass destruction." As an avid fan of Warhammer 40,000 I'm just sat here like That's cute. That's an average Tuesday 😅😂

I really need to rewatch Rogue One lol

Thanks, Trent! Thanks, Julia! 🧱 If this phenomenal finale was any indication, Season 2 will be well worth the wait. #FandomZone #StarWars #Andor

I don't know if I could pick a favourite moment from the season, but the Eye of Aldhani was breathtakingly gorgeous. Nemik's narration of his manifesto made me want to go back and reread the communist manifesto though.

I say if Tony Gilroy wants to write anymore star wars after Andor. Let the man write whatever he wants.
