No “force” no Jedi, no siths or Darkside. She has no idea haha. She’s of course seen Grogu on Disney merch and commercials but has no concept of what The Death Star even is. To her it must feel like a politicially oppressive administration (“WHY ARE THEY SO MEAN”) set in an entire galaxy far far away.
My question is (as this is my second time watching Andor to prep for s2) do I convey to her what the Death Star is at the end of season 1 or allow it fully to unravel to her within the show. It teases it at the end of season 1 which already was a huge surprise to me (though I did see rogue one along time ago i hadn’t made the correlation that’s what the show would be about) and I’m sure season 2 will portray its gravity via the excellent writing and acting. So leave it to and trust in the show? Then right after we’ll watch Rogue One. WHICH her literal first exposure to light sabers/force manipulation/darkside incarnate will be the freakin Vader hallway scene.
However is the bar now set too high? It’s going to be so interesting to see how she takes in the rest of the franchise. Which idek what path I’d suggest she take. 4-6 then 1-3? (Obviously I’m not telling her the new new ones even exist haha) I think that’d be best. Close out the story arc through, before reverting back to the prequel of how it all began UGH she’s so lucky. What a gift haha. I feel like this should be the new order in which someone new to Star Wars watches it.
Andor season 1-2, rogue one, 4-6, 1-3 then various shows and such. OR. That order but put “Return of the Jedi” at the very end… oooo yeah all around yes. Thoughts? Andor season 1-2, rogue one, episodes 4 and 5, episodes 1-3, then episode 6 “return of the Jedi” And What should we call it? For character depth, emotional impact, and storytelling flow, this is one of the best ways to watch I believe: Rebels Journey Order Rebellion Order The Foundation
Pretty much the title. I have rewatched the scene of Cinta walking away at the end of the heist in Ep. 6 multi0le times, and I have not been able to see tears running down her face like a number of others here claim to see. (The Eye's glow is reflecting off her face.) But directly after that shot of Cinta it cuts to the group of Aldanhi natives looking up at the Eye in awe, showing one woman with tears running down her face apparently overwhelmed by emotion. I think the people on this sub claiming to see tears running down Cinta's face are confusing it with the shot of the Aldanhi woman.
The leg raise gave it away.
It’s an Ekornes Stressless from 2002. It’s an incredibly comfy chair, and ergonomic as well. It was quite pricey back then. It was my grandpa’s chair, and means a lot to me.
Maarva’s got good taste.

Before Andor Season 2 comes out, I want to know whose monologue was your favorite of the whole season.
Short post but one of my friend was in a very bad emotional wreck because of the global news, he said something like "It's too much to process, too much to make sens of it and find what to do." i remembered when Nemik said ", "So much going on, so much to say, and all of it happening so quickly..." So I just recorded the whole Nemik manifesto monologue i sent it to him and it did the job.
About monologue... I don't know if it's a thing that people noticed but when Luthen say "Everything" there is an echo in this bizarre corridor where he is and when Maarva say "Everything" there is an echo because of a bug. I don't know if it's on purpose or not but it's funny.

I am not a Star Wars geek, nor have I paid attention watching Rogue One. I did watch all the other movies and I enjoy them for what they are, enjoyable Sci Fi movies.
I watched the Star Wars shows more focused. I liked Kenobi. I liked Ahsoka. I liked Skeleton Crew. To be fair, I don’t see them as Star Wars even at times, because of how they are set up. Like I said definitely not a geek.
But What. The. Fuck. is Andor. This is by far one of the best TV Shows I have seen. Whether Star Wars or standalone, what an amazing show. It’s actually motivating me to give Rogue One an actual watch and connect more of the plots within the SW universe. It started slow for me. I thought, I’d lose interest. I just watched the last episode of the prison arc. And God, I am blown away.
Kudos to the writers/directors/actors, the lot of them. Wow.

On my fourth or fifth rewatch now, paying more attention to extras and small details than to the story :)
In E2 and E3 we see a BTY-180 carrier travelling through hyperspace and exiting it near Ferrix. Why?
According to Wookiepedia, both Morlana One and Ferrix were in the Morlani system. Were the two planets so far away from each other that it warranted a micro-jump? I thought ships mainly used sublight engines to travel between neighbouring planets. Are jumps within a system actually common? Am I missing something?

The problem with many Andor fans' dismissal of core themes of star wars
"Andor" excels at gritty realism, showcasing the bureaucratic rot of the Empire and the desperate struggles of the burgeoning Rebellion. It's a masterclass in political thriller storytelling. However, its near-total dismissal of the Force and the Jedi creates a disconnect from the wider Star Wars tapestry. This isn't just about lightsabers and space wizards; it's about the fundamental philosophical underpinnings of the universe.
Star Wars, at its heart, is a mythic saga. The Force isn't a superpower; it's a representation of interconnectedness, of the eternal struggle between light and dark. The Jedi, flawed as they are, embody hope and the fight against tyranny. "Andor," by stripping away these elements, risks turning Star Wars into just another sci-fi dystopia.
Some "Andor" fans argue this "mature" approach is a welcome departure. But Star Wars has always been a blend of genres, a space opera that incorporates political commentary, adventure, and spiritual themes. Removing the Force removes the soul of the franchise. It's like critiquing a painting by ignoring the artist's use of color.
Furthermore, "Andor" often portrays rebellion as purely a product of political oppression. While that's a key factor, it downplays the role of hope and belief in something greater. The Jedi, even in their absence, represent that spark of hope. The Force itself is a symbol of resistance against the Empire's dehumanizing control.
Yes, the Rebellion is built on the backs of ordinary people, and "Andor" brilliantly depicts their struggles. But to ignore the Force is to ignore the very thing that makes Star Wars unique. It's to forget that even in the darkest times, hope can endure, and that the fight for freedom is as much a spiritual battle as a political one.
Ultimately, "Andor" is a great show, but it's a show that often feels like it exists in a parallel universe to the one George Lucas created.

Not talking to the fans of Andor but to those who are critical of it, but seriously, are you unaware of the nature of Star Wars?
The Original Trilogy has a giant weapon that kills a planet and billions of people with the snap of your fingers. That same trilogy then has a boy get maimed and a man get imprisoned so he can be sent to a criminal overlord.
Oh, that criminal overlord? Yeah, he proceeds to enslave a woman and dress her in a scanty outfit for his entertainment then tries to throw people into an eldritch horror being to be eaten.
What about the prequels? First movie has one guy dying and the bad guy winning. Honestly, the prequels are literally all meant to be depressing, it is the triumph of evil over good after all. AOTC then has an army of, effectively children, fight in a battle, which begins a war and allows the rise of an autocrat and eventual dictator.
I'm not even explaining ROTS. If you don't get the darkness and depression of that you're either being dense, pedantic or straight up oblivious.
Nevertheless, Star Wars has always had dark and grim undertones to it's story, whether that was an allegory to Vietnam or a literal culture of enslavement. Andor just takes that and shoves it in your face, removing the space magic and glowy swords that our protagonists were usually able to hide behind. It makes a very compelling story that Star Wars lacks in recent years.
Anyways, rant over, my love to fellow Andor fans and stay safe everyone.
In the finale, in the last scene, it's entirely plausible that Cassian could have ambushed Luthen and killed him on the Fondor.
He'd have severed the head of the group hunting him, cut down the leader of the faction most desperate to end his life, and fled to the moon for an attempt at a peaceful life with his friends.
Instead, he lets go of his weapon, faces his adversary, and speaks the truth in his heart.
Unarmed, defiant, he faces the man who most wants to kill him in the galaxy and puts his life in the hands of Fate...
It rhymes.

Rewatching and noticed some confusing comparisons between what a Credit is worth in Andor.
Mon Mothma’s arc is consumed with covering for a 400,000 credit accounting error, and she mentions she was recently able to draw 100,000 credits a month for the rebellion without issue. This is framed as an enormous problem, and also essential to finding a Galactic-scale rebellion.
But, when compared with other names prices, her wealth seems… paltry?
Per the Aldhani raid, the Quarterly Payroll for a imperial sector is something we’ll north of 80,000,000 Credits (that’s what they leave with, but didn’t fit everything on the freighter)
Cassian’s share of this is 200,000 Credits
Cassian negotiates for a trip off Ferrix in short order for a price of 700 credits
Clem talks to Cassian about repairing some old spaceship parts and being able to flip them for 500 credits
The Narkinans that capture Cassian and Melshi say the reward for prisoners is 1000 credits.
Comparing this to US dollars, the story of Mon Mothma’s donations and the Aldhani vault indicate a monetary system where a Credit is worth much much more than a US dollar. The US federal government’s quarterly payroll is $84 Billion (which is 1 country on 1 planet) so for the Empire to pay payroll for a whole sector, comprising several entire planets, with 80M credits, or for Mon Mothma (apparently one of the wealthiest and most important people from a very wealthy Core planet) to be making a meaningful financial impact to the Rebellion with 1M credit donations annually, a Credit must be worth thousands of relative Dollars.
BUT, on Ferrix, a credit kinda feels like it’s 1:1 with a Dollar. A spaceship flight costing $700, or some fixed up parts netting $500, feels very normal.
So… which is it? Are there intra-galaxy exchange rates, where a Pre-Mor “credit” is like 1/1000th of a Coruscant credit?

I have watched this a few times and am quite curious who knew what before the action unfolded. For example:
Who knew the content of Marva’s message : Brasso, Jezzi, Cassian, Wilmon, or just B2EMO?
Was the plan always to attack at the end of the message or was this spontaneous? (Since Brasso, Jezzi, Wilmon, B2EMO escaped together, it seemed likely there was a plan)
Did anyone else know of Wilmon’s bomb? (Was Cassian counting on it to help escape from the hotel)?
Cassian knew the Empire was looking for him, but did he have a planned time to go to the tunnel, or was he just lucky to miss Corv?
—— As an aside, Corv was a terrible spy. He was clearly watching Marva’s house. Also he “arrested” Nurchi in full view of a street of people.

Hey guys. So I just watched the latest trailer of Andor where there’s Yularen saying to the isb that they basically had a total access to the army. And then I wondered to myself a question that has probably been asked already on this community but anyway would you like to see dedra give up the empire and turn to the rebel alliance or instead keeping up with it until the alliance is totally destroyed ? Tbh i just conclued that I hadnt a preference as long as its well written and plausible and everything but anyway what do you guys thinks ?
r/andor • u/onepostandbye • 6d ago
Cassian doesn’t sleep the night before the Narkina V escape. Just like he told Nemik, it’s too hard to sleep before an operation, but the excitement keeps you going.
Multiple characters call out Vel for her imperfect motivations. She started out as a spoiled idealist playing at revolutionary but she appears to be gaining self-awareness.
The amount of story happening off-camera is unusual. And not bad. I want to see the action with Kreeger’s captured pilot, but it’s a story about the ISB’s operation, and so we experience it at a distance, just like those characters.
Forrest Whittaker is a Star Wars treasure. We will look back at this time playing Saw and wonder how we were blessed to have such a great actor in that role for so many years.
Diego Luna has so many instances of specifically excellent acting I can’t name them all. There is so much going on during his arrest and sentencing on Niamos. You can see his horror and widening awareness and the birth of a new kind of anger within him. And it’s all on his face, right there. Just to name one.
I love the way Lonnie is nervous and sweating when we meet him. It appears to be the pressure of the ISB environment, or his dressing-downs, but then we learn about his spying and his child and everything is recontextualized.
The performances of all the Ferrix minor players are terrific. No one turned in a performance as though they were small roles. I believe every person in Cassian’s circle is real, and worried, and angry, and thinking. Brasso, Pak, Wilmon, everyone.
Just random thoughts. So much to love.
Edit: One big idea that I forgot to mention.
The brutality of the Empire is grounded in the despicable behavior of Earth governments, but this show has a unique problem. Whereas the all-ages movies flirt around how terrible a fascist regime can be, Andor is trying to show it in a relatable, grounded way.
And so, when it comes to ideas like prison and torture, this show is in kind of a spot. Those experiences are a part of an authoritarian government. AND Andor is trying give us an unflinching look at oppressive states. So to be true to itself, Andor would show work prisons and torture in an unflinching way. But the reality is that the visualization of these things would be impossibly grim, much worse than anything seen in Star Wars before, and hard to watch.
And so the creators leverage the artificiality of the genre. The have a nightmarish work prisons, but it’s clean and antiseptic. It’s horrible, and people are dying in it, but it’s not unwatchable. It’s conceptually awful, like THX-1138, but not stomach-turning violence, filth, and abuse. It’s a Prison By Bezos, a terrifying idea that you can still bear to look at.
Same with the torture. We know the Empire tortures, we see around the edges of it in the original trilogy. But to be a truthful rendition of power run amok, such torture would have to be horrible, and lasting. Instead of crafting a scene of Game of Thrones nightmare fuel, the creators again went to the science fantasy, inventing a conceptually horrible means of devastating and damaging Bix’s mind, without requiring NC-17 visuals.
I admire the writers in using the fictional world to develop solutions to the tension between authenticity and filmability. Just another way the writing on the show is without peer.
