Andor 1x03 Reaction | Star Wars Original Series

[@HeroesReforged]

See the uncut reaction for this episode of Andor: bit.ly/andor-103-uncut

[@RobertvonHeeren]

Always the best.

[@Daniel-Strain]

I love your guys' reactions as true star wars fans. Also, Diego Luna is a great actor and I love the Cassian Andor character. But as a white guy, I am also tearing up and smiling when I see yall clearly enjoying the representation and it isn't lost on me that the "someone like me" line has that extra layer of meaning. So happy to see these new chapters for Star Wars for everyone. Thanks for the great reactions.

[@nargisjahan3302]

When the officer was scared thinking that they were under seize but it was only 2 people it reminded me my favorite Andor line ' Make 10 men feel like a 100' from Rogue One!

[@campbell91988]

It also fits extremely well alongside the police overresponse and sense of entitlement to authority thing. Show up, throw your dick around, beat up a random woman and shoot her boyfriend for objecting, fight exactly two (unless you count Brasa, then 3) guys, start screaming about how actually you're surrounded and they are everywhere.

[@coreywright33]

🤯 That’s such a wonderful catch, Nargis Jahan!

[@veaceslavpaladi3155]

The “Don’t you want to fight these bastards for real” line was the most epic moment in an episode filed with amazing action

[@Nekotaku_TV]

Stellan Skarsgård babyyyy!

[@Blinkptx]

It was good for Star Wars.

[@benjaminroe311ify]

Yeah man! WOOOOOO! Cassian's lines from the trailer as well. "There so fat and happy, so full of themselves. You just walk in and take what you want. They don't care!" Such awesome lines. That whole interaction between them is awesome.

[@bpowick]

One thing that always amazes me about Star Wars is that they manage to get so much expression and emotion out of really basic droid designs that literally have no emotive or expressive features. It’s really impressive.

[@PierceArner]

I also love how at this point, the catalyzing antagonist character is motivated by two people being killed. In his attempt to resolve that - even more people died, and all the things his superior officer wanted to avoid happened, and he's the only one who knows just how bad things are about to get because of the attention it's going to bring from the Empire directly.

[@madtitan0825]

U can just feel the perspective of a lot of these characters it’s 👌

[@benjaminroe311ify]

Indeed. That Shock and realization on his face as his whole operation went up on flames and he lost all those men was just. REAL.

[@teemusid]

The superior officer also knew the two dead officers were dirty and weren't worth their concern.

[@arjaydetoo]

The shots, the acting and the overall lived in feel of this show is what I feel Disney Star Wars has been missing and I’m here for it

[@georgegogiashvili9416]

You people are coming from somwhete shit hole. Disney Star Wars actually fills like movies, not those old flat dialogued, snoozfast, bad acted movies 🤢

[@foulrot]

The townspeople clanging the metal really made that whole sequence tense, I was getting anxious as it went on and then even more when it stopped.

[@benjaminroe311ify]

Yes very effective. And realistic to what an oppressed people might do in such a situation to put their opressors off balance. As Marva says. It means a "reckoning" is coming. Awesome.

[@TeznasGV]

Hector describing how this is going to enhance Rogue One and how emotional it's going to be actually made me tear up just thinking about it.

[@windu2472]

Seriously though. I got intense chills down my back just thinking about that

[@pillsburryDoughFun]

That movie broke me because I really thought all the way until the end that they would survive. Ughh 😩 ❤

[@wahn10]

Hector is absolutely right. And it will be very emotional, I can feel it already.

[@coreywright33]

Exactly.

[@renmcg12]

The first two episodes did such a good job of setting up the setting and characters that this third episode hit so hard and so soon. Just fantastic. Can't wait for the rest of the season.

[@catswithlasers]

It's kind of crazy to think, but Karn basically got 4-5 guys killed trying to bring "justice" to the two guys killed in the first episode. He's so gung-ho, and such a great villain.

[@benjaminroe311ify]

Not to mention he lost that attack shuttle. At least 3 others seriously injured as well. Crazy...

[@blueskybelyr]

This show is going to make watching Rogue One like, incredibly tough. Cassian is becoming one of the most well-rounded characters in the entire franchsie.

[@hey_this_is_Benny]

Syril Karn's face when he saw the number of Men killed because of him not being able to let it go as his boss said to

[@Wanderer25]

His boss is gonna lose his sht. Poindexter is probably gonna get reprimanded, fueling his revenge quest to catch Cassian.

[@jwiggs82]

Another layer that struck me when I first saw the ending of the third episode. With it cutting back and forth I immediately started thinking about his death on that beach on Scarif and the similar color pallet between all three. This show is everything I expected it to be so far.

[@benjaminroe311ify]

It's like a freakin artistic Star Wars Masterpiece! I tell you what.

[@restlessoblivion]

Also the parallel endings of the two storylines (past and present) at the same time was beautiful

[@CallingCollins]

I love how you guys specifically mention that Cassian was Taken. I see a lot of reactors briefly mentioning he was saved etc. Like Mama Andor's perspective. Although that was nice of her to do, she doesn't know for sure those people were going to die and she took him from his family, his home. This parallels a lot of refugees who are separated from their families sometimes. Really touching, I got emotional

[@tariqmohamed]

Absolutely, this is a perfect example of the 'saviour' complex, where an indigenous person is essentially kidnapped "for their own good". Fiona Shaw sells it so well

[@michaeltinishanay655]

All I know is Rule#2: plan an exit on your way in.

[@nargisjahan3302]

The Score has been an integral part of my love for star wars and it's PERFECT here! I just felt so emotional at the end because my love for star wars has been revived by this show

[@Ben-Hollingbery]

The town location was built in a dissused quarry in the uk

[@TheYoungDoctor]

Winspit Quarry which was used in two Doctor Who stories 1967's The Underwater Menace and 1979's Destiny of the Daleks where it was used for the Daleks' home planet of Skaro plus one episode of Blake's 7 which was the 1981 episode Game.

[@joeldean2706]

That's so cool they filmed it in the UK. My home !

[@fabiangrez9915]

I love the tone of Andor, it's not just a good star wars show, it's a good show

[@benjaminroe311ify]

Yep objectively it's a great show. But set such a well made show in Star Wars Galaxy and my oh my...

[@drewmilliken4850]

I appreciate the use of the sun rise in this episode. Cassian’s major life moments all shown alongside a sun rise. Leaving his home and family, leaving to join the rebellion and his final moments on Scarif with Jyn.

[@mikemooktv2041]

I worked on Andor last year as a supporting artist at Pinewood studios for 6 weeks and was luckily enough to work alongside all the main cast in the last 2 episodes of season one. I won't give away any spoilers but look out for a character called Keeno or keyno, whichever way it's pronounced and you'll probably see me. Can't wait for the next episodes, it feels and looks amazing.

[@PhatGuSS]

So far they are doing a good job at letting you exist in scenes, show instead of tell while having good, useful dialogue and the body language and scenery is telling more of the story than the people are!

[@ThatGen2Taco]

Some calling Andor boring I disagree. It feels of a very serious and mature type of series. I like it. It’s different.

[@benjaminroe311ify]

Yeah exactly. Maturity in Star Wars began with the Prequels when we started to get insight into the Galaxy politics... Conversations between the Senators and Chancellor, the Queen and Senators etc. People called that boring too. But it ISN'T. The power struggles between factions, the Republic, the Seperatists, the Trade Federation, Mandalore, The Banking Clans, the Hutts, The Pyke Syndicate etc... Now you have this Corporate Sector concurrent with the Empire. Geez it's a damn rich universe now. Andor is a masterpiece that has been built on the shoulders of great world building here or there across so many series. AMAZING! Funny that one of the highest quality Star Wars offerings of all times is a sequel of a sequel... but then here we are!

[@MrGlenbw]

12:30 "But it's not WHERE YOU THINK!" - Timm

[@hackapump]

Beautiful writing is in the fine details. Like when Luthen asks Bix if she trusts Cassian. Her answer? ”He’ll be there”. She can’t bring herself to say "yes, I trust him". Which immediately tells us a lot about her history with him.

[@mdlvideo]

That ending…..chills

[@kikimariposa]

I think Captain Schmuck is going to become Andor's Javert; he is going to get in such, such trouble for taking those men into trouble after someone his captain told to leave alone. He's going to have to blame *someone*, and there Cassian is. That look on his face as that cycle got away.... And Bix and all Cassian's friends and Maavra are going to be wanting to retaliate for those corporate cops coming into Ferrix. I am SO INVESTED, man!

[@miru6005]

Yeah Hector same, I'm not ready for the heart wrenching edits that are about to come after this series

[@JNav212]

"He's got a little trick or treat" 🤣 Loving the series. Can't wait for ep 4!

[@neonhuntersynth]

The music at the end of the episode made me shiver, this was amazing ...

[@paqnews9744]

This show definitely has a different atmosphere from what we have seen before in SW. And as a huge Blade Runner fan, I´m totally loving the "Blade Runner" vibes this show has brought into. The music, the visuals, the emotions. So far so great!

[@ssm2879]

The deputy inspector feels like a young Jalvert before Les Misérables and how he start to becomes so psychoticly obsessive about hunting down enemies. Great job on the actor's part. Authoritarians losing their minds when faced with people they can't intimidate, coerce, or control.

[@onesixthscaleman9519]

Man I love you guy’s perspective. I completely love this show

[@70briareos]

I think Stellan Skarsgård's character may be a retired Republic intelligence officer from during the Clone Wars. He reminds me of Willem Dafoe's 'Mr. Clark' character from "Clear And Present Danger".

[@Kidapollo92]

The opening title moment adds Percussion instruments. I love the scaffolding and the lifter droids. Some droids are yellow and red matching the transportation carts. Fiona Shaw also played aunt petunia evans Dursley from Harry Potter . The shape of opening hatch matches the symbol on the patches of the dead crew. Lupin is more worried about who can steal the unit for him rather than the unit itself and where it was stored. Cassian is less afraid of the empire than the local cops. Lupin hints that he did his homework how else would he know where cassians Foster father was hung. Cassian applied both the rules he learned from lupus in rogue one. Removing the sign so invading forces can not navigate is guerrilla warfare.

[@BobbyM817]

Lando almost said s*** in Solo but it was cut off right when they went to hyperspace after doing the Kessel Run

[@bchainz]

Stellan Skarsgard’s staff thing looks like the pikes that the emperor’s red imperial guards use, which I believe can withstand lightsabers…that’s what I think

[@sarahendres5318]

I'm just realizing in the rewatch that the musical phrase at 16:48 is the same one that reappears in the finale! Chills...

[@indecisivewolf5620]

Hearing you talk about the edits people are going to do when this is done - I can't wait (and hope) to see what Heroes Fan Productions does for Andor.

[@alundanklorde3785]

I am loving this show, feels like it mixes the grit of shadows of the empire with the looming dread of rogue one perfectly

[@CharlieFoxtrotBlog]

'Bee" (or B2) reminds me of Dugg from 'Up'

[@TheDailyRipple]

Watching these I definitely got a Bourne feeling with the music score and scene work.....

[@javiherbou87]

Regarding police brutality I actually see that scene completely different. For me the one in charge of that squad realises that this guy is too stressed in that situation, already made a mistake and will probably make more if they just carried on like that. So the best way to proceed is to just get rid of him, take his weapon so that he cannot hurt anybody else, and once they get back to base, he can be processed/investigated/punished. Let's not forget that even if Cassian is the good guy in this (since we know the whole story), those guys are just people prosecuting a potentially dangerous criminal that killed 2 officers. They don't know the whole story behind it, on how the Empire is being ruled by a dark force whose only purpose is to rule the entire galaxy taking away the freedom from the people. They are simply chasing a killer. Cassian himself said in Rogue One that even though they fight for freedom, they are killers and have done some terrible stuff in order to get said freedom.

[@resetbutton7982]

I was scrolling looking for this comment when I heard his view on that scene. You’re completely right. The lead officer took his weapon and sent him away because he killed an unarmed civilian.

[@tariqmohamed]

@@resetbutton7982 and who will be protected, that's the parallel.

[@javiherbou87]

@@tariqmohamed We don't know that, so let's not jump into conclusions ahead of time. If we want to see this with our political googles though, we can see a white guy being too easy on the trigger and a black guy being cool calm and colected in a stressful situation :)

[@tariqmohamed]

@@javiherbou87 this is a corporate security force that works for the Empire, of course it is political. It would be pure fantasy to even suggest the possibility that he won't be protected and the crime covered up.

[@SuperCred1t]

What a damn good first arc. Felt more hbo than Disney

[@ironpatriot-no6lt]

I LOVE STAR WARS!!! Couldn't have said it better myself. So over the fake "fans"/ wannabe critics who have to find something/anything to cry/nitpick about or rank everything. Newsflash: no one cares about your rankings. Just sit back and enjoy or stop watching period.

[@alexelkins1138]

Did you guys miss where they said there was a explosion or something at the mine killed everybody which was all those kids parents that’s why they’re all alone now

[@naunga9450]

Absolute favorite moment where Syril Karn looks around and realizes that all he had to do to avoid all this was fake a report.

[@chwilhogyn]

Filmed on locations in Northern England and Pinewood Studios London

[@saulsoto6481]

Cool to see the Marvel/Disney direction. Luna, Huerta, Pascal, oh my!!

[@frecklycheeks]

Love the Rush Hour references! Also so glad they released the first 3 cause I wasn't entirely into it in the first 2, but the 3rd episode now has me hooked.

[@mandofan2616]

the music and scenes at the end of ep3 just broke me.

[@coreywright33]

That episode is so spectacular.

[@JayRayOfficial]

For me the dialogues are much better than in Obi Wan or TBOBF. Love the episodes so far!

[@TimdeVisser86]

4:10 Honestly I'm thankful for the clarification.

[@opsatr]

I think Bix, at this point, was already involved somewhat with the beginnings of the Rebellion. She is, after all, the one in contact with 'the buyer' Luthen. But I think she probably keeps that to herself as much as possible to keep her friends, including Timm, safe. Probably the reason why she didn't clue him in on anything at all. Which, unfortunately, led him to snitch on Cassian because he got jealous or whatever.

[@benjaminroe311ify]

Bingo!

[@rb3k157]

I don’t think he was jealous at all. I think he knows cassian is a shady guy who gets in trouble and he wanted to protect the girl he loved from getting caught in the middle of something bad that cassian does. It wasn’t bc he thought she liked cassian or something dumb like that 😂 it was him wanting to protect Bix

[@opsatr]

@@rb3k157 Oh, yeah, yeah. Definitely. I just wasn't in the mood to elaborate on his reasons in my comment above so opted for that short cut. But in my comments elsewhere, I did say that I think he thinks he's protecting Bix or pulling her away from Cassian, the bad influence. (It's all included in the 'or whatever'.) 😛 Although, I won't go so far as saying he wasn't jealous AT ALL. I think it's a combination of those two. Maybe primarily to get Bix away from bad Cassian and his shenanigans, with some added green factor. 😉 So basically, this was the unfortunate case of Bix and Timm trying to protect each other from something, but ended up getting each other (and themselves) in even more trouble and heartache...

[@benjaminroe311ify]

@@rb3k157 I think it's both. Very hard to not be jealous when he was a past boy friend of hers and he knew how he was. Dangerous AND charismatic etc. I agree with you. Overall he was being protective but the feeling was exacerbated by jealousy... most likely. We could ask him. But he got shot dang it.

[@opsatr]

Oh! Also... about the box... It does seem to be some useful piece of tech... Cassian 'left' it somewhere closer to the other door because he didn't realize that Luthen was going to blow the door. And Luthen... why would he not tell Cassian to get it first before he blew the door, if it was something useful for the rebellion? I was trying to think about that... Maybe Luthen doesn't think it's all that important. Cassian does. But maybe Luthen doesn't. After all, he came here when Bix called, not because of the box, but because Cassian, who he wanted to meet, is willing to meet him now. He's not really here for the box. He's here for Cassian. If Cassian turns out to be not worth it, he's fine with getting the box. But that's just secondary. Plus, maybe it's Rule #1. 😛 Don't carry anything that you don't control.

[@twennysebben]

Ha! I had the same reaction as you at 14:40 when I heard a character in a Star Wars show say "shit."

[@ravenblack3474]

That actor in second in command of the police team also played the leader of coal miners from Chernobyl

[@artloverivy]

[@ricocampos1331]

Do you know what the Romans (Empire) did in Spain with their mining? Do you know how many Spanish and Galic slaves died in those mines? I bet Diego Luna knows.

[@ZachBobBob]

That swear in a Star Wars got me too!

Its like poetry. It rhymes lol.

[@tomhodges1600]

Timm with 2 m’s and they’re exactly where you think they are!

[@JonRunner88.]

Loved the ending scenes of him leaving on the ships the music swelling it was just amazing. Also on a side note not a huge fan of the guy saying "shit" I feel it takes us out of the star wars universe a bit. Would have been a great time for a dank ferik haha

[@JustWatching_]

All 3 eps on release? I love to see it!

[@MAZZI100]

Great reaction guys!!!!. My best regards!.

[@AnotherScribbler]

I think flashback Andor and the other kids were left alone on the world when their parents, miners, died during the industrial accident. Because the world was closed off as toxic they’ve been on their own ever since.

[@Jerome616]

This show is another level. Finally the kid gloves are off.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Hector! Thanks, Adam! Thanks, Agustin! I'm loving this. ☄ #HeroesReforged #StarWars #Andor #DisneyPlus

[@pillsburryDoughFun]

I only saw rogue one once.. in theaters. That ending broke me because I really somehow thought all of them would make it. Such a good but sad movie that I dare not see it again. After this series I think I will.😢😢

[@alexbr72]

You guys are the Best - Great review - Salute from Scotland

[@jchusky77]

How would people feel if the entire show is like three story arcs over time with Luthen and Cassian?? This episiode felt like the end to a story, which is why they released the first three at once so we get the idea. Three episode arcs!

[@mogg34y]

Absolutely brilliant 👏 the tone the look of this series. This keeps up it could surpass the mandalorian for me!

episode 3 is my favourite so far

[@grayclaw1391]

Good show and you guys make it better.

[@chrispynn6074]

Rip two M timm lol

[@OscarBlancoSketchToon_com]

Not to spoil anything, but I think B-2EMO's voice is the same voice actor for K-2SO (Alan Tudyk - which has been confirmed in the series, even though K-2SO will NOT appear). It has a tamed-down attitude but nevertheless some of the responses to Cassian's comments. I'm thinking he "dies" in this series and his data gets transferred to an incapacitated imperial security droid, thus becoming K-2SO. Anyone else hears K-2SO in B-2EMO?

[@BroPaulSyrel]

Andor is the best

[@Moveplaylift]

I think Bix actually liked Timm way more than she let on and only in the end did she realise that by trying to protect him, and keeping stuff from him, that she actually creates the situation that leads him to being killed...

[@Gejeeto]

OPINION: The second best Star Wars series at this point (best is sw tcw)

[@SalarianSpectre]

I’m so glad someone else noticed the depiction of police power and brutality! I love this show so much!

[@isaiah5820]

The only thing I can say is that they mention Andor's planet had an "imperial" accident which could be something they took credit for afterwards but I find it hard to believe the Republic would demolish his home world. Just to try to clarify timelines

[@benschroeder4036]

Maybe the accident and subsequently making the world off-limits was to keep something hidden from the galaxy at large. The mine looked abandoned (post accident that killed his biological parents?) when Cassian was a kid, but that tribe was still surviving. The mine was an eyesore, but the world didn't seem uninhabitable. Maybe the designation in the computer is just a smoke screen.

[@brandonjoseph4495]

@@benschroeder4036 Also, Luthen says that Cassian's father was hanged in the town square, but we see him and all the other kids on the planet where there was the mining "accident." We also know from Rogue One that Cassian's parents were involved with the early start of the Rebellion. Maybe the Rebellion on the mining planet was discovered and murdered and then they left all the kids to die there to cover it up.

[@benjaminroe311ify]

There could be a lot of reasons the Emperor and his beauracracy would classify an accident or event that happened during the Republic as an Empire event etc. To cover up one thing or another or to take credit of one thing or another or to make it clear that Kenari is a Empire holding etc. I presume from the comments of Marva and the time stamps and ages of Andor that this crash ship event on Kenari and when he gets taken is during the Clone Wars. It's obvious that Cassian is old enough in BBY 5 on screen that he was born during the times of th Republic and his parents probably worked and died in that disaster or perhaps something else related to the mine. That's why he looks at it so whistically. GREAT story building. Amazing.

[@benjaminroe311ify]

@@brandonjoseph4495 Pretty sure the guy with Marva was his "dad" and he was hung the town square in FEST. Cassian was a baby during the Republic not the rebellion. Pretty sure Marva and the Dad were seperatists. That is what matches the timeline. Pretty sure the people in the crashed ship were Republic spies that had sepeeratist isignia as a ploy. Palpatine had a lot of clandestine pet projects even when he was chancellor as we well know.
