The whole percussion thing hits different as someone from Latin America. Banging pots and pans together is a form of protest, and when everyone does it the sound is so loud it overwhelms the entire city. It’s called a cacerolazo and it’s so clear where the inspiration came from. And yeah… when it goes silent, it’s time for the reckoning.

[@RSK9903]

Oh, that's so interesting! Thanks for sharing, this factoid really enhances the scene.

[@shugaroony]

They used to do that in Ireland too when the British occupied Northern Ireland.

[@nutyyyy]

Hmmm same thing happened in the conflict in Northern Ireland so I assumed that was the inspiration given it's almost all British and Irish actors/production but it goes to show just how many influences there are on the show.

[@DragonFangX]

There's a reason I prefer Kyle to Theory - more appreciation for the world building and the slow build up of story and tone.

[@user-sq4ci1iu6y]

same. i enjoy content from both channels but theory has this elitist attitude when it comes to his love of star wars that i find off-putting sometimes

[@alanleos3637]

Yeah Im pretty much done with Theory. He said after the first episode that "nothing happened". Like seriously? Love these 2 guys, gonna stick around.

@@DimiusG Blind Wave is my go-to but that’s cause I’ve been a fan for 5 or more years. Found Kyle when Mando came out and his knowledge, like that of Eric from Blind Wave, is the kind of stuff that has made me a better Star Wars fan.

[@campbell91988]

I love the little touch of Cassian distinctly looking at the fleeing aliens as they run past in confusion and the unspoken implication that that was how he knew the Inspector was in the shop to ambush him.

[@Jabberwocky415]

Oh wow I totally missed that. And I’ve watched a lot of reactions.

[@TransitOfMarsOfficial]

That ending sequence was so good. The despair among all our characters, the music, the cinematography, it all combined to make an emotional but raw and powerful sequence, one of the best in Star Wars so far imo. I’m loving this show.

[@ic9310]

And I love the fact that the aesthetics are antique. They are made too look older and a bit primitive. Superb.

Luthen Rael is a badass, already love him. The dialogue and acting is phenomenal in Andor.

[@archiev1976]

I really like the second in command of security forces. He's like a experienced combat vet in the field compared to the fresh out of academy officer in charge

[@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.

[@vice2versa]

is the characters name Keeno mentioned in the last few episodes of Andor???

[@Lobsterwithinternet]

Congrats on working on the best piece of Star Wars media since The Empire Strikes Back! Your team did an amazing job and I hope you do just as well in the future 🦞👍

[@methuselahh_]

i noticed in episode two that luthen was like talking to his ship, i think it has some sort of built in onboard ai that controls the ship, so the whistle was the signal to it to turn on

[@alanleos3637]

Y'all r by far my favorite reactors. It's all about the good time & dammit I'm sooooooo enjoying this! Another intelligent review & the joy in your faces! SAME!

[@kevinhansen8211]

I kind of feel sorry for the inspector at the end. One reactor said he was shocked from the destruction at the end, but...I think it was fear and the realization of how badly he had failed. Not only did he disobey a direct order from a superior, but he failed to get his target, lost a ship, and got most of his team killed. I don't think the corporation will be able to cover that up, and the Imperials will come to find out what happened. If anything, I think this guy realizes that he is going to be killed for this failure.

[@satoshieswc9205]

inspector would have ptsd for sure

[@Minkymink18]

Exactly. That’s totally the face of “oh i /fucked up/“

[@synthesize5618]

I agree

[@Nergalsama01]

Killed, maybe. But a pretty serious demotion is probably incoming.

[@scottishjedi1522]

It’s going to attract imperial attention. Maybe even a garrison of stormtroopers to restore order. And there’s the box that they left behind. I think that may play in to the story. I reckon the Empire will find it and then start hunting down the person that stole it, and they’ll have his name from the corpos

[@OriginalHuman]

What an amazing start to the series. So hyped to see where it goes!

[@emmano6340]

So good to see you here m8 xD

[@Rorywizz]

Rewatching this and its cool to see you here

[@chaplinsgirl]

I'm so enthralled with this show. Watching Luthen and Cassian handle the corporate goons (sorry, I keep forgetting the name of the corporation but I'll eventually remember it) in the showdown, it reminds me of Cassian's remark in Rogue One where he said "Make 10 men feel like a hundred." The line keeps bouncing in my head. He learned all that from Luthen. For me, it's a callback to that phrase and I love it. The music, the writing, the directing, the cinematography - chef's kiss.

Everything is next level on this show. Writing, characters, production quality. I am so sucked in by the universe building -- all of it new and to a depth we've never really seen on screen. It's the most human and realistic I've felt about Star Wars. How often have you felt the weight of every death and loss like this? Even the "badguys." This is the work of master storytellers.

[@ssotkow]

1:34 "I'm here to have a good time... and focus my energy on things I enjoy." Preach

[@JazonCalderon]

Corpo Security > Stormtroopers. Seriously, it's refreshing to see enemy goons not be treated like dumb cannon fodder for once. They were using tactics (having the lone guy keep flanking, pincering their target, setting up an ambush) and keeping in constant comms. If this was most of the other previous works, these guys would be wiped out in the blink of an eye while standing out in the open then suddenly have their ship blow up for some reason. Makes me kind of sympathize with the antagonist inspector as well.

[@TheRoyalFino]

The antagonist is an overzealous corporate loss prevention officer. No Jedi. No Tie fighters. No X-Wings. No Lightsabers. And I love it.

[@jjperez711]

“there’s a lot of percussion in this society” HAHAHAHAHA

[@AbiNubli]

When the studio gave you 12 episodes (longest Star Wars series yet) and 3 episode premiere, you know they have some real good shit

Not quite. Bad Batch has 16 episodes per season. But yeah, still really good.

[@Lagartofero]

Funny how all droids in SW seem to have speakerphone comms only. It would be so easy to make them internal monologue for stealth, but I guess it's an established trope in SW at this point

[@Sangth123]

The writing on this show is so incredibly far above not just every other Star Wars thing we've gotten for 7 years, but is better written than most shows we've had in general.

[@ketchup016]

The deputy inspector, at least right now, is walking that line where I could maaaaybe see him eventually at least understanding the rebels side of things (and could he deal with that upheaval to his idea of justice), but I also easily believe this guy could turn hella evil.

I wasn't even surprised to see Skarsgård nailing his role the way he is. I don't know if I want to call him Sweden's Liam Neeson or Sweden's Michael Douglas, but like those two, it's impossible to make a bad film or show with him in a leading role. And I won't deny that I feel as smugly satisfied hearing a Swedish accent in a Star Wars story here as we did when we heard Pernilla August in Phantom Menace.

[@marcoatila]

I agree that the actor for Inspector Syril Karn is doing a great job. You can feel his noobishness in regards to field work. He thought he was just gonna go in, serve a warrant, and successfully arrest Andor and close this case. Nope; total shitfest instead. Thing is, this character could have been played as this sniveling imbecile, but the actor really sold the idea that the dude was just really inexperienced. He was totally out of his depths, because his whole career seems to have been about being in the office and going through records and reports. Now he has a bigger mess on his hands than when this all started. Love this show. Can't wait for next week. It's lived up to everything the promos were selling to us.

[@PACKERMAN2077]

Even still Andor's only concern for the Box I feel is it's usefulness to perhaps smugglers to evade patrols Or plot courses around blockades, Hence it's high price on the black market. In reality Luden is trying to convince him to think of the bigger picture in how that Box just like Kassa himself could be to used to combat the Empire.

[@nostalgiagaming560]

I thought this show was fantastic. The slow build up and pay off of these three episodes was incredible. It gave time to actually care about characters, understand the world etc, without just rushing straight into action we don't care about. The writing, pacing, and acting was all on point. I also feel that the budget was really showing here, it felt well....like the budget went into it. Maybe it's just me, but the last two shows (Obi-Wan and Boba Fett) felt really cheap by comparison. Overall...fantastic. I can't wait for more.

[@jakecook2375]

I believe Cassin's back story is all about the Republic posing as Separatists, look at the uninforms of the dead, but the ship is clearly CW Republic. The Republic was as shady as the Separatists and wanted to destroy all evidence of their treachery and blame the Separatist for attacking a Republic ship. However. Maarva and her husband are true Separatists who knew better and the reason she said the Republic would kill him, like they did all the children's parents before. The Republic did not want anyone to know what was mined on that planet and made up this cover story.

I've been watching different channels' reaction to this and came back looking for the ones who mentioned Luthen's whistle for his ship. It was you. 🙃 You see, I don't think the whistle activated the ship at all. It was just a signal for someone or something on the ship to get it ready as he approached. I was hoping it was K2SO, lol! 😄 Because surely, I thought, we'll meet him somewhere in Andor because in Rogue One, he and Cassian were tight, right? And I thought it would be nice to have another droid with us since we likely won't be seeing B2EMO much anymore because we left him with Maarva. 🤪 I also thought maybe it was him talking in the background when Luthen was landing his ship... But I checked episode 2 again and all it said in the caption was Fondor Droid Mod, and there was no credit for the voice in the cast list at the end. I can't actually recognize Alan Tudyk's voice so maybe I was just wishful thinking. 😅
