Andor Episode 11 Reaction & Review | Daughters Of Ferrix | Star Wars on Disney+

[@EzriIkramS]

The brilliance of the writing is that Andor does grow. He’s in the middle of the rebellion blooming. Cassian is a closed book. He said, “Everything’s Okay” when it’s not. But you know things are bubbling underneath. You know that he’s changing. You know that he hates the Empire now than episode one. He doesn’t realize that he’s honed his leadership skills in prison.

[@BossAttack]

I would only disagree regarding your comments about Cassian. The prison arc is what showed his evolution and his change from apathy to rebel leader which we will likely see culminate in the finale. Make no mistake, Andor led the prison escape even though Kino was the face of it. That's his strength. In Narkina 5, he recognizes his own talents to see the good and the skills in others. Cassian's arc is not to become a type of Luke Skywalker hero, he is becoming more like Luthen. A organizer behind-the-scenes. Luthen finds the right people with the right skills and convinces them to give put their life on the line for a cause. Cassian is slowly demonstrating that he can also be that person. His strength is not being the guy on the loud speaker encouraging everyone to escape, it's recognizing that Kino is the guy to accomplish that task, convincing Kino he has it in himself, and stepping back to allow Kino to do it. We see that even in this episode when he and Melshi are hanging on to the cliff face to evade capture. Melshi tells Cassian that, "he can't hold on any longer." Yet, Cassian only tells Melshi that "he hears him." He doesn't tell Melshi, "you can do it." Rather he acknowledges his struggle, but allows Melshi to find that strength within himself to push on. Remember, Ep. 9 was "Nobody's Listening." Here and now, Cassian is listening and that gives strength to others.

[@genghisgalahad8465]

Perfectly stated. I think partly to do with Mr. mishearing Andor saying "Olaf" during his heart attack as "enough." I do subtitles for myself easily.

[@xxraptorxx8180]

Even at Aldhani he isn’t the leader but makes good suggestions to the team like switching the positions of the people when marching. He is the glue, he motivates other people but doesn’t necessarily lead them.

[@operative2136]

With the regards to the munition Luthen used to disable the tractor beam, I could be wrong about this but I think it uses ballistic rounds to penetrate the enemy shields since shields in Star Wars seem to be primarily used against energy weapons rather than physical objects (ie. like the asteroids hitting the Star Destroyers in Empire Strikes Back). It's also worth noting, but I think it actually uses the tractor beam to help draw the munitions to the target with greater force (ie. the beam literally pulls the bullets towards the dish).

[@Alvaro89Rus]

yep. he deliberatly first make an impression of trying to get away with engines alone so they would turn tractor beam to max power

[@operative2136]

@@Alvaro89Rus Just occurred to me, but the fact that he had to charge it up first probably meant it was kept un-powered so it wouldn't register immediately on Imperial scans as a weapon.

[@chewiewins]

He intentionally pretends try get away so they increase tractor beam power so projectiles even more effective!

[@ISavant]

@@operative2136 that's why he told them he had an engine overheating

[@kruimels]

@@operative2136 He was not charging it up I think, that meter was for calculating the light speed trajectorie.

[@JohnnyPappas]

Luthen doesn’t have to get a new ship because they identified it. He used a transponder code that was fake and will use another transponder code that’s faked.

[@Nico68311]

Fun Fact: The ship at 13:28 is called “Cantwell-class Arrestor Cruiser”. Colin Cantwell, a concept artist who designed spacecraft for Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, pitched the design to George Lucas for use in the movie (1977). Its original name was “Sith Carrier” and the dishes on its sides were intended to be used to destroy various ships. The idea was later adapted for the superlaser weapon of the Death Star. The ship also appears in the movie Solo: A Star Wars Story, but only in the deleted scenes. Also, the projectiles (14:26) use kinetic energy, which means that they pass through any/most Shields the Imperials might have. (Source: KZbinr: Lost Acolyte - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHO1fX6kfd2aiqc)

[@btgardener39]

Yup! It's the same reason asteroids were such a threat to the Falcon back in Empire Strikes Back. It's an out-of-context threat to the Empire, given how overconfident they are in their narrow windows of their military strength.

[@almonies]

This is such a strong show. It's not over done, it's just the right amount.

[@NerdyNightly]

The right amount, and yet I’m gonna miss the shit out of it after next week

[@kruimels]

Indeed, Obi Wan serie was over done, and bad acting too.

[@she_who_dares9713]

This is the episode that got me all the feels. I feel for Mon Mothma, for Bix, for Bee, for Luthen and the weight of the rebellion he's carrying, Melshi's resolve and probably survivor's guilt, and Cassian's loss. 😢

[@travis9472]

What occurred to me after many watchings is that Luthen lies to Saw. I never considered that he doesn’t mistake the number of men from 50 to 30. He lies to him so that he will be more likely to side with him and let Kreger burn. It’s only 30 men not 50. Or is it a hundred? Who does Luthen trust? Only the girl in the shop. She’s been with him since the beginning. Fifteen years ago. They were together for order 66. They were Jedi and Padawan.

[@rdkirk3834]

I think it's that Luthen never releases information that he doesn't have to. If someone is wrong, he allows them to remain wrong unless he needs them to know the truth. He had no reason to correct Saw.

[@RMNarratives]

I love it when nerds in a relationship get to react to great stuff (you two are hilariously good together) Also, I know Andor wasn't exactly about merchandise like The Mandalorian, but anytime we can get a life-sized B2EMO to hug, I'm all for it cause it literally took five minutes & a sad droid to make me lose it.

[@declanArdmore]

I'm going to lose it if B2EMO has Maarva's last words for Cassian recorded

[@royston1182]

I would love a Luthen show

[@Galactic123]

Damn nothing good happens to Cassian on beaches. He should just stay away.

[@jjstarrprod]

Forget about Star Wars, this show is one of the only that I've seen in many years that consistently gets better and better as the show is going. That kind of consistency of quality writing, acting and directing, and music all combined together is getting extremely rare nowadays. A perfect alchemy ! The Gilroys brothers are a fantastic writers room that we wish we could get more. Really would love to see this show explode in popularity during the holidays season, as it absolutely deserves.

[@corvus2512]

LOL “F that guy!” That’s such an aggressive dismissal of a fairly tragic character. Sure he made a bad decision that he clearly regretted that led to his own death, very Classical Greek tragedy. Who among us has never felt insecure or jealous or lied to or impatient? None of you have made a stupid decision while drunk? I thought Tim was such a tragic figure in the early parts of the show, driven by insecurity and ultimately suffered a pointless death because we see that Bix loved him, she had to be dragged away from his body, she clearly chose him instead of Cass. A bit of a long type over a minor character from episode 3 but I never found Tim deplorable, I found him flawed and VERY human and thought his death really showed how we can so easily doom ourselves.

[@ramspencer5492]

Luthen's escape was so well thought out. They had shields up but it was a physical attack, not an energy attack. He find and escape and got them to turn the tractor beam all the way up.... Then use the Force of their own tractor beam to destroy the dish with physical projectiles. He won't need a new ship.... He gave them a bogus code. I mean a legit code.... But not actually his ships actual transponder code. Who knows how complicated his his AI assist systems are for navigation and weapons.... There's canon of using several droid computers in a ship to make complex AI's. It wasn't all Luthen's ability most likely, but he is a hell of of a pilot. Who knows how many contingency plans and maneuvers he has set up in advance. Enjoy your videos. Thanks. 😎💫

[@tifaa1313]

This episode felt like the calm before the storm, technically nothing really happened but so much got put into place, and the tension just kept rising -- cannot wait for the finale

[@ISavant]

the prison break episode last week had me literally tense from the start of the episode, I don't remember the last time a show had me that on edge. also given that Leida has apparently joined the chandrilan branch of the palpatine youth, i say fuck it, marry her off, let her be davos' son's problem. Hell he has reason to be wary of the empire too so she'd probably be safe with his son too

[@CritterPaladin]

The Arrestor cruiser might have had ray shields up, but if they had particle ship up they wouldn't be able to tractor Luthen's ship in close enough for boarding 9or release a boarding ship, whichever the case may be.)

[@shamisotoole3165]

In terms of the Fondor being an AWESOME ship compared to the Falcon, Luke does call it a piece of junk when first seeing it. Falcon still the GOAT, but man, the Fondor rules.

[@VerticalBlank]

2:41 "Does this unit have a soul?"

[@chitoryu12]

On the subject of the cruiser's shields, Star Wars ships have ray shielding for energy bolts and particle shielding for physical objects. Running both is a huge power draw, so in combat normally only the ray shields are kept up. The Last Jedi and Squadrons both show how fighters can slip under the ray shield layer to fire on the hull.

[@Thorion1969]

Shields are used to deflect energy weapons; they don't work the same against projectiles, like torpedoes or Luthen's countermeasures.

[@btgardener39]

Honestly, I don't think the Empire has much of an angle on Luthen's ship. Sure, they've got a general description of "Fondor Haulcraft", but it was a counterfeit transponder code and it's a biiiiiiig galaxy. Hundreds of thousands of systems out there, at least, with hundreds of millions of ships being bought and sold with each passing year...? The only way the Empire would possibly have a chance of catching up to him, given their inability to even spot Andor when he was already in their custody, is the most random of misfortune. The Empire -- hell, the galaxy as a whole -- just doesn't have the same level of computational tech that Earth does. (With the possible exception of Luthen's ship/tech, of course, which is leaps and bounds ahead of pretty much anything the Empire is fielding.)

[@alanfoxman5291]

I get what you're saying about not enough focus being on Andor himself but I see it as how the other characters are all impacting Andor and forcing his change and so in that respect the focus on the other characters is important. I hate Cyrill's mom sooooo much. LOL. Stelan Skarsgard playing against Forest Whitiker is such fantastic acting. Just amazing chemistry. B2 😭 That's amazing witing and direction to make you feel for an otherwise inanimate object. And Mon's decision to fix her daughter up with the "Thug's" son wont be too bad...after all...the daughter seems to be leaning in to the "old ways" so she should be fine with it, right? And I agree with the kudos to the makeup department for Bix's makeup. Wow. You can totoally see what she's gone through. Just by looking at her face. The actress is so effective without having to say a word. Just great. Great show.

[@eat_pray_porg8450]

I agree. I think Luthen changed his mind about Cassian, if you remember the conversation he is having with Kleya right before the Imperials show up to board Luthen's Fondor haulcraft. He realizes now that it's important to make sure Cassian joins their cause.

[@MM-vs2et]

@@eat_pray_porg8450 He might hear about his exploits on Narkina-5, and will harken back to what he said last episode, "I need all the heroes I can get". Also after losing Anto Kreegyr and 30 of his men is a big blow to the rebellion. Luthen is really going to need all the heroes he can get.

I have two strange plot lines for the season ending episode. I think B2EMO will do something heroic and die but his droid consciousness is some how saved and later Cassian will put it into K2SO which would help explain why K2 and Andor are so close. Also, I think Bix will do something heroic like destroying as many imperials that she can and help Cassian escape and become a part of the Rebel Alliance.

I think he keeps B2's brain.... And fuses his synaptics with the imperial droid to make K2SO.

[@Arezoo298195]

Possible Maarva is still alive? Not sure what the angle would be, but I find it strange that she would die between episodes and then they never actually show us her body. We see what LOOKS like a body being taken away, but we don't see that it's actually her. Maybe some ruse to trick the Empire. Why? Like I said, I don't know the angle, but I feel there is one.

[@zagat2]

I dont think there’s an angle - they did it so that you feel what Andor is feeling when he finds out. You never get to see her die or to say goodbye and the last time we saw her was the last time Andor saw her. It’s masterful writing. I do think there is one final part of her death to play out though as B2EMO is clearly lying about something - they go out of their way to state that he needed an extra long charge and he clearly says in Ep 1 that lying causes him to need more charging.
