Guys,, Luthen is related to Padme Amidala, and is from Naboo. Luthen knew Palpatine as schoolmates on Naboo. The final episode will see Luthen die in a spaceship fight with......Darth Vader.

[@eianfederle2715]

What luthen says in the monologue also mirrors a proverb from ancient greece: "Society grows great when old men plant trees whos shade they know they shall never sit in." Always gives me chills.

[@ranielsandiego4222]

[@scootinand]

I can't believe it took me until this episode to realize that the prisoner uniforms are white with hints of orange, whereas the Rebel color scheme is orange with hints of white. These are the early days of the Rebellion in its proper form, so the orange is still small, but noticeable against the stark white of the Empire.

We don't know if Kino makes it. Remember his speech. We need to help each other. If you see someone who is confused, someone who is lost, you need to get them moving and keep them moving.

Kino went on to become Snoke. Although he was cut in half as Snoke, he went on to become Smeagle and Gollum because his personality was cut in half. The one ring he found on a planet called Middle Earth was strong in the force and gave him long life.

[@februaryschild0216]

"I burn my life to make a sunrise I'll never see." Kino and Luthen this episode. Kino forfeited his life for a freedom he'll never taste as well.

[@Felttipfuzzywuzzyflyguy]

I feel like Luthen and Kino are an interesting Juxtaposition. Luthen has gone full dark and lost hope for himself and is willing to sacrifice others for the rebellion in order to not attract attention whereas Kino has gone from keeping his head down and doing what's necessary to survive to risking everything for freedom and demonstrating compassion. His character is so compelling. In a way Kino is the nobel one while Luthen, while necessary to the rebellion, is the more 'evil' one. I'm not a character/literary expert but I feel like there would be an interesting in-depth comparison to be done between these two 'leaders' by someone far more skilled than myself.

[@kickballjedi]

We also know Andor will become more "evil" fighting for the Rebellion. In Rogue One he points out all of the wicked things he's done for the cause. All of it worthwhile of course, but killing, lying, betraying and deceiving are not good acts.

Seeing him standing there, cloaked and just oozing powerful intensity, all I could think of were great Jedi and Sith characters we’ve seen in the past. I almost started looking for a lightsaber hidden in those robes somewhere! He looked like he could cut through a hundred men. And the speech! No words.

[@foulrot]

It can't be, the timeline doesn't match-up. Ezra was 7 when his parents died, and we know that Ezra was born on empire day, which was 19 BBY, so they would have died around 12 BBY; we found out in episode 1 that Andor starts at 5 BBY.

@@foulrot wait hold up I thought Andor took place after kenobi which was 10 years after ROTS… and I recall hearing Luthen say “15 years “ he’s been fighting this.

@@parkerhumphrey8982 if Episode 1 is 5 BBY, we can assume episode 10 is between 5 and 4 BBY; 4 BBY makes Luthen's 15 year comment make sense if he created his formula around Empire day, since the first Empire day is 19 BBY.

I feel like this series came out during the perfect time in my life. I've always loved Star Wars since I was a child but the gritty and ruthless tellings of a galaxy under a fascist grip was something I never thought I would see. It shows the intricacies of the governmental system and just how hard it is to live in suppression while the powerful and wealthy feast like hyenas and sip high-dollar wine in lustrous facilities, guarded and safe. It shows the bottom of the barrel juxtaposed with the top and how the contents inside react when the cap is weakened or popped off. This is adult Star Wars and it is everything I've ever wanted but didn't know I did. No lightsabers, no space wizards, just people trying to survive under a tyrannical opposition that will not hold back. It doesn't feel like Star Wars but it also very much does at the same time.

Best Andor episode yet!

[@Tuaron]

I'd honestly liken the repeating of "tomorrow" to something from a lighter source: Annie. Think of "Tomorrow", the song in which they talk about how "the sun will come out...tomorrow" so you've "gotta hang on 'til tomorrow" but conclude by noting it's "always a day away" - that fleeting hope that seems to keep fading for the prisoners, as their sentences are lengthened or they learn they'll simply be transferred to another prison (or another part of the same one). I don't think the writer was necessarily thinking of that, but I think it's as relevant a parallel as the Macbeth quote.
