Andor 1x9 and 1x10 Reaction | Nobody's Listening! | One Way Out

[@crandleberrysadie]

Luthen's monologue was my favourite moment in this incredible series of brilliant moments. Stellan Skarsgård burned his sacrifice into our very souls.

[@adriancooper78]

WHAT DO I SACRIFICE..... EVERYTHING!!!

[@ROArecords2]

He gave his heart to give a monologue the awards shows will never see.

[@adriancooper78]

@@ROArecords2 That is the beautiful of streaming services. Like the old syndicated television channels people well eventually get around to it.

[@SeanBlader]

That scene was monumental... staggering... breathtaking. It's absolutely brilliant. Everyone that worked on that moment was absolutely top of their game. Holy crap.

[@benjaminroe311ify]

Yes... when I saw that monologue... well before I did I would have rated this episode 11/10 after I saw that at the end...it ratcheted up to 13/10. This episode of Andor is probaby the greatest thing I have seen on TV. Better than Breaking Bad... Better than Sopranos.. Best StarWars content ever. Some of the BEST content ever created. So amazing.

[@SnazzyAI]

The fact that episode 10 has 2 of the best monologues in Star Wars history blows my mind.

[@yimpyoi9808]

and then episode 12 proceeds to give 2 more of the best monologues in star wars

[@joshgreiner2599]

During the monolog at the end, I love the visual of the mole being trapped in the claustrophobic elevator car, while it's being explained to him that he's trapped in actuality. Luthen telling him you'll stay with me, then closing the door, fully trapping him... *chefs kiss*

[@mikek9297]

The visual storytelling in Andor is on a whole new level. They really compose their important shots to perfection.. not to mention the backdrops, the architecture, costumes and color matching. A lot of excellent work was put into the composition of it all and it really shows.

[@pali1d]

A little detail regarding Kino - he tells his cell block that in his mind he’s already dead. Why? He knows they’re surrounded by water and that he can’t swim. Everything he does in episode 10 he is doing for his fellow prisoners, to give them a chance at survival that he already knows he won’t share in. It’s a beautiful, subtle parallel to Luthen’s speech - both men are sacrificing their lives for others, though in very different ways.

[@knoxminis1211]

This is the best that Star Wars has been since Empire Strikes Back. Maybe ever really. Superb writing, directing and acting.

[@Dynnen]

That Genevieve O'Reilly's scene... The entire time she was able to emote a sense of annoyance and disgust. Then at the very end she turned all of that off and gave a flustered/rushed denial. She emoted EVERYTHING! Even the lie! The acting on display from everyone is just a masterclass at this point

[@Shawn_M]

Genevieve O'Reilly gets my Emmy this year. The subtlety, the intensity. 11/10! And a little satisfaction knowing that in the end Mon Mothma did it. She took down Palpatine

[@Drudenfusz]

Yes, the acting in the show is the best Star Wars ever had!

[@spacemanspiff3052]

Yes, Luthan’s monologue was acting at its finest. That’s saying a lot in this episode chock full of excellent performances! 👍

[@TheChiraagG]

"Never more than twelve" is such a phenomenal moment. And that's impactful even before episode 10 starts.

[@JozyMozy]

The absolutely titanic impact of the events of episode 10 is one of the most powerful culmination of events I've ever witnessed, in any television show. One. Way. Out. This show does such an amazing job of fleshing out the nitty gritty of revolution: as stated in the show, everyone has their own rebellion. Prisoners from all walks, coming together against unbearable oppression, drawing a line and then pushing back in spectacular fashion. So good. Thank you so much for coming back to these.

[@micpta16]

Stellan was stellar, as was the rest of the cast. Luthen is basically doing the old adage of planting shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit. So commendable. Wonderful sweatshirt!❤️ Also great reaction…as per usual.

[@amrosoronar1853]

"Why are you gonna go to this, I want to know more about the Prison." Luthen: "Hold My Beer"

[@michaelsandoval714]

I'm so glad you decided to come back to this show. It does take a moment to get into it, but it's such a well written and acted show. Serkis and Skarsgard are just amazing.

[@Einomar]

Denise Gough is mainly a theatre actor I believe, she is phenomenal. If you look at an interview with her it's like it's a completely different person, and I'm not just referring to her personality. Her face looks different somehow when she is herself, it's as if she is constantly having this stern expression as Deedra that somewhat changes her face, quite fascinating.

[@marmichaud]

That script is just stellar. Economical, strong with the "show don,t tell" philosophy. All stuff Star wars was never able to be since 1981.

[@tucmakukla]

Damn. Every time I hear the "One way out" speech I get shivers. Serkis just owns any role he plays and I am happy he's more and more acting major roles openly, not just in a motion capture suit.

[@ilovethe80s62]

Best tv monologue of 2022 right there. The writing on this show is top tier.

[@kaygee2121]

Woohoo! Everything in this show is just phenomenal.

[@cmcgccjsl]

Luthen is the greatest character ever created by Star Wars. This show was the best show of 2022. I really hope the Emmy's aren't snobs regarding genre TV, because Luthen and Dedra deserve Emmy nominations. The interrogation scene and Luthen's monologue are the most rewatchable scenes that legitimately give me chills each time I watch them. Cyril and Dedra are also so perfectly creepy together. I love every creep-tastic moment.

[@mikek9297]

Awards are nice and all that, but what I really wish is for Andor to gather bigger audience and for this approach to SW to get continued past Cassian's story. I want more show like this - thrillers with well thought out plots, properly well written dialogues and actors who can deliver them perfectly... slowly building complex story arcs with care and attention to detail, respecting the audience enough to allow it to keep up without too much hand holding or exposition. It reminds me of the Expanse and I love that show !

[@cliveklg7739]

@@mikek9297 yeah imagine this quality of writing of plots, dialogue and acting... and actually having the option of having Jedi in it as well, though I'm fine if they aren't. Or imagine how different Fett would have been with quality like this. It could have been a truly gritty crime drama... just set in Star Wars.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

Stellan is a shoe in

[@3mrwright]

When I got the notification that your latest reaction to Andor dropped, I couldn't wait to get home from work to watch. So happy you started watching this show again. The monologues in this show are just so memorable. It feels like every time I see these scenes again, they just keep getting better. Season 2 can't come fast enough. It's funny to think that when this show was announced, no one (including myself) cared about it. Now it's considered as the best thing since Empire Strikes Back. Wild. Thanks for the reaction

[@TheWickedBob]

Such a phenomenal show. The acting some of these people bring is off the charts.

[@ReclusiarchLP]

I love this darker Star Wars we're getting with Andor. So good! :D

[@ShockArcl1te]

I had been looking forward to this reaction for so long. Worth it.

[@Cjohnson725]

This is truly a masterpiece the acting, the dialogue, the music, the sets, the cinematography all of it masterpiece.

[@feudist]

Luthen sucking all the romance and high mindedness out of the rebellion with one monologue. Mon Mothma shopping her daughter to a criminal. Cassian calmly murdering his way through every situation. Cinta staring into a man's eyes while she guts him. Bix broken by horror. Andor(and Rogue One) are deconstructions of the toy marketing empire that Lucas built.

[@MikeWood]

Stellan's monologue is fantastic. It would be at home in any classic piece of theater. Kicking ass one rebellion at a time. And Andy standing on the precipice saying he can't swim. That is just a literal cliff hanger. So good.

[@smutserkling6848]

This episode had me shaking uncontrollably with emotions.

[@brutalchicken]

I'm really glad you came back to this show! Love at the end where Luthen needs heroes and it pans to our two jailbreakers. Also "Never more than twelve" sent chills down my spine the first time I saw it. Serkis is something else man

[@CheapTrick77]

This series and this episode in particular are not only "peak" Star Wars but "peak" television as well.

[@JerryShugars]

The best show of 2022. The best Star Wars content, no contest. The writing staff on this show deserve Emmys. Along with everyone else involved.

[@bamba2046]

This show is so intense, I love every second of it! Who ever casted this show deserves and award, and OMG the acting is phenomenal.

[@mrtom2854]

Luthen's speech in Ep. 10 is the greatest speech in all of Star Wars. It's absolutely incredible. This is some of the best writing and acting we've seen in the history of Star Wars, and you can tell that Stellan Skarsgard truly loves his role.

[@ferchrissakes]

Yeees, the episodes of great monologues! And lines in general. Every scene with Serkis (or “Kino”, but c’mon, it’s Andy Serkis) is gold of course, but Andor’s “power doesn’t panic” is perfect. And Dedra’s tiny cheek twitch… somehow they gave a villain a heel-turn. And of course, Stellan’s speech. By his own admission, he’s an irredeemable monster. And he is. But by the standards he puts on poor Lonni, he’s, by virtue of sacrifice, a hero. And he is. I’ve said it before, but the Tatooine farm boy who’s whisked off by a wizard to save a princess seems like a bad parody next to this show.

[@wtimmins]

Stellan's speech sent chills. CHILLS. What I adore about Andor (it almost rhymes!) is that this is a show where you can have a long scene of two characters talking and you are on the edge of your seat. It ALSO has high adventure, but... man. The speeches and comments in these episodes are what I was talking about an episode or two ago about how great the dialog is. And there's STILL more to come.

[@adamcummings20]

[@JesseZakshesky]

I'm so glad you kept watching this show! Your reactions are giving me life and I can't wait for you to finish the finale!

[@Frostbite08]

Luthen is a master of compartmentalizing information. Any single rebel being captured couldn't give away everything he's up to.

[@brokenlittledreamer8981]

little does perrin know she did find herself someone & even though vel & cinta seem to have their fair share of complications in their relationship, it's probably still going better then his lol

[@ScottRutter]

Luthen's speech - so powerful

[@kenmasters734]

"Now i'm going tobe upset when it ends" Had the same feeling as well but only about this Starwars series ,which is a shame.

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

"And what do you sacrifice?" "Calm. Kindness, kinship. Love. I've given up all chance at inner peace. I've made my mind a sunless place. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there's only one conclusion; I'm damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my...my eagerness to fight, they've set me on a path from which there is no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time I looked down, there was no longer any ground beneath my feet. What is my...what is my sacrifice? I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy, to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else's future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see. And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude. So what do I sacrifice? Everything!"

[@kerouac.jackson]

The high point of the series for me were the two speeches in Episode 10. Both were just amazing, and it was somewhat unexpected and revealing that Luthen has a poetic side to him. It's something that would never have occurred to me without that speech. For Episode 9, Karn stalking Meero really weirded me out, mostly because I can't help thinking that he's doing it because she reminds him of his mother. I'm convinced that he's going to end up admitting that to her at some point; the only question is when.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

Karn is so pathetic. 10 is easily my favorite episode. We were spoiled with the script, the pace, the ACTING.

[@TheParagade]

@@funnylilgalreacts he's a fascinating window into the incel to fascist pipeline

[@kerouac.jackson]

@@funnylilgalreacts My take on him is that he's desperate for approval from a maternal figure, and since he's never going to get it at home, he's decided to seek it from Meero, even if he hasn't actually realized that yet. I really sort of want them to meet. Meero will either have his mother arrested or hire her (instead of Karn), and I'm not sure which would upset him more.

[@kerouac.jackson]

@@funnylilgalreacts This episode also made me wonder why anyone ever decided to hide Andy Serkis's face behind CGI. He's been so great at it that I tend to think of him as the guy who does that, but his face is so amazingly expressive that it makes me wonder why I ever thought that. And of course, I thought that because he was great at it, but still.

[@carykneller1159]

Episode 10 probably had some of the best acting I have ever seen in any show, ever. It wasn't just one actor/actress that delivered the goods either, it came from several different actors/actresses. The cast of this show just delivers amazing performances all the way around in every episode, and episode 10 is like the shining pinnacle. I think Luthen's monologue is probably my favorite scene overall, because I could just feel the pain of his words stabbing my soul; but there is no way I could pick a favorite job of acting for this one. I would have to call it about a three or four way tie (or maybe five or six way tie) for best acted scene. Phenomenal. And there is still more great stuff coming in episodes 11 and 12.

[@darthmuppet]

Two of the greatest monologues in all of STAR WARS.

[@5Amigos32]

[@jackson857]

[@bobigghhb3]

So glad you came back to Andor ,stuck with it and is receiving the rewards of a great show. I remember around episode 2 when you said watching paint dry was more fun😂. This is really a Star Wars show like no other. Can't wait for your next episode

[@ubersc00ber]

I think one small detail that explains Kino's harsh exterior is that the rooms are playing against each other. His room consistently places at the top, meaning they are probably kept more out of harms reach. I think he drives them a little hard because it is ultimately the best thing that he can do for their sanity -- keeping them from being electrocuted constantly.

[@spacemaster13]

Letsss gooooo Andor 💜💜

[@baron7755]

The actress who plays Dedra, Denise Gogh, was in the Game of Thrones prequel pilot called "Bloodmoon" that was never picked up for series and the pilot has never been released. For the most part, she is a theater actor in England

[@joejawson5264]

When I heard the name Gorst, my first thought was the character from the grim dark fantasy series The First Law by Joe Abercrombie.

[@breynolds5894]

That "One way out" speech is one of my favorite Star Wars moments ever. I was in tears the first time watching it. That entire thing just mirrors America's prison system.

[@micahhill7503]

Im really happy you decided to watch Andor. Months you responded to a comment I made talking about Andor you said you weren't going to be moving forward with Andor and I was kinda bummed because I was head over heels for this show and I truthfully hoped everyone liked as much as I did

[@jjc5871]

I think they made a point of having that guard during the transfer show up late to show how few guards there really are. Not something I thought about until my second watching of the show though.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

I noticed it but I thought it was because a guard was helping them. But then I realized they were short handed and that was useful information for Cassian to learn

[@MikeTaffet]

I have been waiting for these episodes. This is where this show solidified itself as being genuinely just good well written TV

[@nickthepeasant]

Firs..ah sh*t, third then. The prison / torture arc (for want of a better term) made the Empire seem more evil than all the movies combined - in my opinion anyway. And I feel like Andy Serkis (and Fiona Shaw) are the low key MVPs of the show - limited screen time, huge impact.

[@katherineavery4611]

"Play it how you want, I'm going to assume I'm dead already" Kino knew and he stepped up anyway to help everyone else

[@andrewday3603]

Andy Serkis is really amazing in theses two episodes.

[@stukay2803]

I'm so glad you came back to it! Loving seeing another take on reactions to the show. The stand-out episodes of the series for me. I didn't make the comment in the previous video, but Andy Serkis' appearance made me "oh ... this just got good!" You're right with some spectacular actors showing some real chops. I've worked alongside Geneivieve Reilly on a couple of things here in Australia and I was impressed, but she's REALLY on top of her game here. Also, I love that we got a "So *THAT* is why they (meaning Andy & Stellan) were cast!" with episode 10. Looking forward to you wrapping things up next week!! Oh, and btw, Denise Gough is probably best known as the voice of Yennefer of Vengerberg in "The Witcher 3" and the only other thing I've seen the guy that plays Syril -- sorry, can't think of his name -- in is a BBC period drama. The rebooted "Poldark". Might be worth a visit if you're looking for something new to watch at some point in the future!!

I’ve watched a lot of reactions to this fantastic show over the past few months and I think yours might be one of my favorites. I appreciate that you’re discussing it beforehand for context, reacting honestly, but also allowing the playback to speak for itself instead of just a constant stream of talking over it. It feels like you’re enjoying it and paying attention to the great dialogue and writing. Thank you. Subscribing. Really looking forward to your reaction to the final two episodes of the season

[@sarcasmxkate]

This show is as close to perfect as I could hope for. I think we all went into it expecting typical Star Wars, which is why it does take a minute to really get into it, but this is what Star Wars can be. And I'm not saying everything has to be in the Andor model, but rather the quality every Star Wars property should be striving for. I love a nostalgic moment, but if we want the stories to progress we need to let them progress and sometimes that means letting go. Easter eggs are always welcome, but getting stuck in the past has hindered a lot of these projects that really could have been this level quality. I also love the structure of these storyline arcs. It allows us time with these characters that we don't normally get and that makes us care more. I'm so excited for season 2 and to see you continue the end of this fantastic season!

[@SovKnight]

We have to wait a whole week to see your reaction to the... AMAZING and AWESOME and MIND-BLOWING two final episodes to this show, and I just can't. You are gonna love it, and to wait another week for you to see is excruciating. Everyone had the best acting moment in this. You can't really single anyone out in particular, because the performances in this show are just so far and above anything else. How do you even compare?

[@RMNarratives]

No need to be embarrassed about coming back to this show after dropping it! There are absolutely incredible pieces of art that have existed that people haven't felt the first time they have seen it (the point is that it eventually found you) And now you're feeling what a lot of us do about this show - one of the best things of the year.

[@deanthemachine8879]

There is a video breakdown of the costuming and styling a KZbinr did (it has spoilers so I won’t link it but it is Cinemattire) that makes note of the detail they put into even things like hair styling to give deeper context for the characters. Specifically Vel’s blonde hair dye on Aldhani showing that she has the wealthy access that we don’t see revealed until these episodes. Just brilliant all around

[@basils8255]

Great reaction! Denise Gough and Kyle Soller are well-known stage actors. I recommend to watch their interview - they look completely different IRL

[@Samminish]

LOVE. THE HAIR! ANDOR has proven to be the best Star Wars Franchise of any medium and second-place is not very close .. .. Andor is the show we thought Obi-Wan was gonna be but it's fine, we'll take our Andor!! Denise Gough is one of the most-decorated actresses in Irish entertainment history .. .. Since making Andor, she's kinda given in to the Church of Star Wars and has become a bit of a SW Fanatic .. .. Another successful convert!! 😀😀😀

[@spacemanspiff3052]

When they cut from the prison break and went to the mole going to meeting with Luthen, you were like . . . “Not now!” I made the futile effort to speak through the screen to you saying “Just you wait . . . enter Stellan Skarsgard!!!” Speaking of thugs, the worst brand of thug is an intelligent one who approaches with a smile . . . you know your in for it. If this episode doesn’t get an Emmy and nods to Skarsgard, Serkis, O’Reilly, and Gough for their Supporting Acting . . . I’m going to be really REALLY annoyed.

[@benjaminodonnell258]

Luthen is such a gripping, fascinating character. It's no wonder so many people think he's secretly a Jedi or Sith - he just carries so much weight and guilt and layered deception and regret, he feels like he has to be something magic because as a character he "weighs" so much...

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

They also did, in fact, have to take Ulaf's body through the work area. There's only one passage. The cell block has no exits other than that bridge, not even service tunnels or emergency exits. And the only path from that bridge to the central tower is through the work room. Again, no service crawlspaces and no emergency exits. You go up that lift, or you don't leave. The end. The main proof that "nobody's listening" in the prison, is actually the fact that the guy who killed himself wasn't collected until shift change. All the prisoners were complaining that he couldn't have waited until shift change. That means that the guards didn't even know he'd done it until someone reported it. Which means they're not monitoring the cell blocks. Probably because they don't have the manpower to do that much surveillance. Imperial Star Destroyers take a LOT of people to run...tens of thousands, each (mostly because they're shit designs, but also because they're goddamned huge ships...comically, uselessly huge). And the Empire has a lot of them. And then there are things like the Death Star, and Super Star Destroyers (which we see one of...but there are several), which carry crews dozens of times that of a single Star Destroyer. The Empire is putting most of its personnel into its fleet, which leaves most other facilities critically undermanned. And we see that all over this show. The garrison on Aldhani being only a handful of people, the prison on Narkina 5 being only a few dozen guards for thousands of prisoners, the use of the security droids on Niamos because there aren't enough troopers... The Empire wants to control everyone's lives down to the minutiae of daily life, but they don't have the resources to control millions of worlds with billions of people each. It just can't be done. And that's just the star systems they actually use. There are tens of billions of star systems that they don't even touch, either because they're not useful in some way, or because they literally just can't control that many systems at all. And that's even with an entire third of the galaxy being uncontrolled because it's all the "Unknown Regions" and similar places. Locations that are unexplored because there aren't established hyperspace routes which is because hyperspace does wonky shit there. Galaxies are obscenely huge. And while the Empire covers a lot of it, it's all sprawl. There's no real control there. So they use fear of the Imperial Starfleet to keep everyone essentially self-controlled through fear of retribution. Like a bad parent, "Stop crying or I'll GIVE you something to cry about!" When the whole reason they're crying in the first place is usually because of that selfsame fear.

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

The boots are useless. There are 5,000 prisoners, and only a few dozen guards. If they were to take the boots, but then the floor got sparked in the rest of the facility, their escape would be finished, then and there, because only a few dozen prisoners would survive, easy pickings for the guards at that point. Stopping to put them on would do no good at all, and would cost time. Cassian made the right call to go straight for the control center as quickly as possible to take the best chance of preventing the floors from being used at all. Engaging that many floors takes a lot of power, and that bought them the time they needed to get to the top level. Cass made the smart move.

[@ernienelson969]

You should see the interview of the female cast of Andor by SAG-AFTRA Foundation. All 4 women have been fantastic in this show. Denise Gough ("Goff") is especially interesting as she is such a bright personality, the exact opposite of Dedra. I didn't really realize until this interview that 3 of these women are Irish. The interviews with the men are very interesting, too. I agree with you that all of the acting in this show is stunning.

[@chris-hz2wd]

This was for me the best show of 2022 hands down there was no competition I loved it, slow at first? Yes, but my god with every episode it feels like your being sucked it by the rebellion that you can’t escape like lonni, we are not Jedis or Sith Lords or mercenary’s or bounty hunters, we are the everday citizens of the empire rising up, this is our story in Star Wars and I love it ❤ and acting and writing? Phenomenal
