Hello there

[@personofinterest1444]

Andor is the best StarWars show. RRR review please

[@davidstrange2482]

I Don't know how You Guys Missed this Connection ?( Also New Rock star's and many other's Missed This...) Episode 3 they Talked About Andor's Father Being HUNG On Brix Road ... That Same Episode they Show His Adopted Mother ( And Klem) Taking Andor off his Planet...(Saving Him) Episode 4 Andor Takes the Name Klem ( After His Father ...Hello) And this Episode they Show How Klem Was Hanged And Talk About the Corner Road's Where it Happened! ( And Show A Flash Back of Andor as a Teenager ...In the Snow with a Mace style Melee Weapon. Running to attack the Officer's ( Which in Episode 2 His Record Come's up. Assaulting Imperial Officer etc.) ...and he then gets arrested and Is sent to A War Zone as a Cook....)

[@navneeths459]

Isn't Clem, Marva's friend who was there when they first found Cassian in that ship as a boy??

[@AndrewAHynd]

That scene with Mon Mothma and her childhood friend Tay, they way they were both talking about what they were doing, and yet not, was such a brilliant scene. Genvieve O'Reilly stole this episode. And Admiral Yularen!!! What a call back to Clone Wars. Amazing.

[@Dracolism]

"People Will Suffer" "Thats The Plan" Cold, Cold line from Luthen. It's not about Good and Evil, Right or Wrong It's about Freedom and It won't be pretty. They are Rebels! not Peace Keepers. Man I Love Luthens Character.

[@mediumvillain]

I mean yeah, that IS the point. Ppl are already suffering etc.

[@Willy2537]

It's harsh but a necessity: the Rebellion in its infancy is simply too undermanned and too underfunded to put any meaningful resistance. They needed PEOPLE to support its cause, by whatever means necessary. The heist at Aldhani spurred the Empire into cracking down on any potential offender throughout the galaxy, forcing people to live under the tyrannical rule because of the rebels' action, which means more and more people will then flock to the rebels' cause and support them in their fight against the Empire (Andor's adoptive mother being one of them). It's simple yet brilliant: the rebels get the Empire to take its gloves off and show the galaxy how rotten it truly is - even if it means some unfortunate folks have to suffer through said tyranny first.

[@Nergalsama01]

Yeah. A LOT of people would end up dying for the Alliance. And the fall of the Empire, at this point in time, is still 11 years away.

[@immersify3D]

The fact that the show writers understand rebellion in this show so well… this is like Spartacus in space and I am so fucking here for it!

[@TheGohanSkywalker]

People were always going to suffer, Luthen is more about showing the Empire actively making people suffer rather than doing it passively.

[@veaceslavpaladi3155]

The parallel between Andor’s father and him, both getting caught in the Imperial punishment machine when they tried to not stir any trouble, is amazing. Andor has to understand that there are no innocent bystanders in this fight, one way or another the Empire’s evil touches everyone.

[@apoorvsingh4459]

That was his father in the end? Lol i didn't get that then

[@PhilipZeplinDK]

Agreed, love when we get a peek into those scenarios!

[@jeverw9889]

I think how Cassian was arrested for being by whatever was going on at the beach mirrors how Clem died for being by people angry at the storm troopers. Just because he doesn’t want it to be his battle doesn’t mean the empire doesn’t make it his battle.

[@Nyx_2142]

Those were Clone Troopers that killed Clem. Look closely at the armor, especially the helmets.

[@joshmartin4761]

Clem is the one Luthen referred to as Andors father who was hung. I didn't think he was standing up to the empire in that flashback. It seemed he was trying to tell them to not fight it and he still got pulled in

[@360.Tapestry]

aka the empire is not concerned with seeking out truth or justice so much as projecting power, authority, and punishment to keep people in lower ranking afraid

[@KerryCheeseboro]

I am loving the series. It’s “ground-level” Star Wars, which hasn’t been done before, so it might seem “outside” of Star Wars to some, but is just “expanded Star Wars” to many of us. Finally, the Star Wars story-telling has “grown up” to the maturity of folks like me who watched A New Hope in its first run in theaters over 40 years. At 11 years old, I loved the flash and action and crazy-looking aliens. At my now much-advanced age, I enjoy - if not even prefer - a patient story with a lot more depth and range of subtle emotion. I no longer need to be “hit over the head” with visuals and sounds - the “thrill” now being a more thought-provoking, self-ruminating ride.

[@anthonyp.1390]

Cassian actually already returned the Kyber Crystal last episode, after he killed Skeen and before he left the group.

[@ReelRejects]

That’s right! Yup totally slipped my mind. You will not be the last person to correct me but I will acknowledge you are the first person to. Been a lot of late night editing on my part - Kinda shows in the review for this how much I’m blanking on shit. So thank you for telling me!

I love the way they switched between adult Cassian and boy Cassian watching Clem at the square. Around 11:20 or so. And then to see young Cassian running to attack the storm troopers while Maarva (sp) is talking about only needing 1 person to stand up = ❤️

I love the aesthetic of this show! The music, the writing, the characters, and the way it's shot are so masterful.

[@danwhite9184]

The emperor name drop makes me think he's showing up soon. I'd honestly be fascinated to see a Tony Gilroy-written Emperor Palpatine. That could be really interesting especially since we all know Ian McDiarmid would nail the dialogue with his acting abilities.

[@crimsonghoul8983]

Part of me would love that. Part of me feels that its unnecessary, given the level of world building that's going one here. Darth Vader showing up in Rogue One gave us a badass ending. Not sure what Palps would bring.

[@danwhite9184]

@@crimsonghoul8983 I don't think it's unnecessary at all. A lot of this show is dealing with politics and the Senate.

[@rowenapascual1316]

The scene between Cassian & Marva mirrors Anakin & his mother's relationship. How Cassian said that he could leave but worry about leaving Marva behind is similar to Anakin leaving Tattoine & worrying about his mom. I love B2EMO so much & worry about him every time I see him! Love the tease to the future K2SO. How social messages are woven in this episode is rather heavy yet relatable to our real world. Can't wait for the next installment!

[@gilesburford1935]

I hope that B2EMO's personality is uploaded into K2SO

[@MNToThat]

I think we saw why Andor was sent to war at 16. He attacked clone troopers for hanging his adopted father Clem. I like how Andor's current resistance to the rebellion is also adopted from Clem. "This is not our fight Cassian" Such great writing

Clem got hanged for a case of mistaken identity where he was walking near some people using anti-Imperial speech, Cassian also got hanged for a case of mistaken identity where he was walking near some people using anti-Imperial speech.

[@Zachfive]

I noticed on this watch that when Mon Mothma is talking to her banker friend at the party, the trellis-type wall screens have a pattern reminiscent of a spider web. Like they are walking through a literal web of intrigue…

[@MarcoCarag]

I loved this episode, and every reaction I watch just reinforces what I loved about it. Every conversation is so well performed, and is hitting more emotionally than ever in the show. We really saw the impact of the events of Aldhani here. Military escalation -- our first storm troopers and Star Destroyer of the show. Both Luthen and Mon Mothma making increased moves. Maarva's inspired to heartbreakingly dedicate to cause over her relationship with Cassian -- more rebels rising up. Indiscriminate harassment and imprisonment of innocents (or at least semi-innocent) across the galaxy. I love that we're seeing that impact of the "Announcement" across the galaxy and all walks of life. And as always executed to such a perfect level of quality. This show is amazing.

I feel like I’m watching something from Cold War Europe. The weapons race and and the threat of escalation. “Has anyone ever made a weapon that wasn’t used” powerful quote. I know the actor that plays Mon’s banker friend from a show called Zen. He was ambiguous but seemed to be an ally and antagonist, I’m glad he’s looking like an ally here

[@CCFONESOL]

You mean Patrick (Tay) from Coupling? Yeah he's good.

[@jmhaces]

Not gonna lie, I'd never seen Space Cancun in Star Wars and I liked it. As for Clem, Luthen literally told Cassian when he recruited him that he knew the Empire had hanged his father. So yeah, Clem raised Cassian as his own with Maarva. The last name, taking his first name while on the mission, their conversation about Clem's death in this episode, and all the flashbacks to Cassian's childhood in this and earlier episodes support this.

[@louisberry4403]

[@Hammern28]

I have to say, this show is displaying a side of Star Wars I could never imagine. It is just so brilliantly written and done, the atmosphere of it all, the music, the scenery. I would dare say, that in many ways, this is one of the best Star Wars shows done so far.

This show does such a great job in keeping the suspense up. We know the main storyline and where all this will end, but all subplots and new characters are written in a way that we get invested in them but at the same time can't figure out where any of them are going. I love this show.

[@emmanuelu]

The opening scene with syril was so relatable lol. I have this conversation with my mom all the time.

[@empyrealone]

Guys, Clem is his father. Luthen said they will hang him like they did his Father. Clem was the one with his mom who took him off of his home planet. Clem has been referenced as his father since the first episode

[@zombiesatethevideostar1695]

Both trapped in prisons of their own making. Cassian ran in the hope of being free of the Empire, and in the end he got arrested for it. Meanwhile, Syril ends up a literal worker drone, trapped away from his goals the outcome of all his actions.

[@kevenpinder7025]

And let's not forget, Nemik's manifesto is now locked in a box, hidden in a shower, unknown to all but a Loiterfelon on his way to Force knows where.

[@themarvelman7104]

I really loved this episode, although I didn’t love it as much as episode six, I still thought that this one was really great. It had this great balance of being suspenseful and emotional. All of Cassian’s scenes with Maarva were so heartfelt yet sad. And speaking Maarva, I was so glad to to see her and BE come back into the show. It was really cool to see Yularan (from Clone Wars) make a live action appearance for the opening scene. And I really loved the parallel between Clem and Cassian. In the flashback scene, we see Clem get hung for being accused of something that he didn’t do, just like how in the ending scene of the episode Cassian gets for being accused of something that he didn’t do. And this is implied even heavier when we see the Imperial Security Droid grab Cassian by the throat and say “hang”. Also it was really cool to see some Imperial Security Droid’s, maybe this is a set up for K2S0’s introduction into the show. Anyways I am super interested to see what happens next and I can’t wait to see next weeks episode.

[@applefanatic414]

One cool thing you might not catch if you don’t have subtitles on: the man announcing the empire retaliation was Yularen from Clone Wars, Rebels, and the OG trilogy!

[@lokkii1005]

Hey guys, love the channel.. just to let you know the beach/seaside area from ep 7 of Andor, was filmed at my home town, in the UK, a place called Cleveleys, just outside of Blackpool in the North West of England

[@r.m.s.nerd3074]

Something I noticed recently, in the Clone Wars show if one look at a Republic Venator Star Destroyer it was (for the most part) like a good thing, a ray of hope for many, liberation coming soon, now in the Imperial era, watching an Imperial Star Destroyer means fear, hope is lost, oppression and no liberty.

[@EdgarDiaz-pt4qx]

Personally, this was one of the best episodes of the entire season for me. The character dialogue was absolutely top tier. The only minor complaint I have is about the ending. It was a bit different tonally from the rest of the episode so it felt a bit jarring and out of left field which I guess is also the point lol overall 9.5/10 for me

[@travistaylor2980]

Yea, Clem is Andor's adoptive father. Luthen mentions his father's hanging in episode 3.

[@BoscoMoviesTV]

Plus we’ve seen him in flashbacks before this too with Maarva.

[@Nergalsama01]

11:13 Oh wow, this is even worse than I imagined. I originally thought that the Empire had executed Clem for standing up to them. But it's the exact opposite, he was trying to calm down the people who spoke out and fought back. He didn't throw those rocks, but he still hanged because of them. ;_;

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

That was so hilarious and satisfying to me. I laughed so hard seeing him hanging hehehe

[@sebagonzalezmusic]

I really dug the Palpatine name drop, because it makes perfect sense he’s possibly been alerted to the Aldhani heist and is shocked to learn that a small group not only stood up and rebelled against the Empire, but did it in such a significant way that EVERYONE knows and now people around the galaxy are being inspired. And I’m all for Palpatine showing up, if it makes sense for the story and episode and is handled properly (good writing, dialogue, tone, menace etc.). And if Palpatine was to at least make a cameo, this would be the show to do it since it’s in large part about the intricacies and politics of the Imperial/Galactic Empire. The Imperial forces take their orders from Palpatine, so it makes perfect sense for him to get involved if the situation is serious enough.

Going from an emotional scene between Cassian and Maarva and then cutting to him shirtless somewhere on a tropical planet with a beautiful woman in his bed is the most severe form of psychological whiplash.

[@Kriae]

I'm guessing that Cass attacking the troopers as a kid is what landed him in juvie

[@jjstarrprod]

A very interesting fallout episode. Sure, it's a bit of a single inbetween episode, but it's all we needed to know about the repercussions of the heist of Aldhani, and the morale reach it had not only on the Empire, but also on the Galactic population. That scene with Marva was so emotionally complex, coz you hear the hope in Marva's voice and see its glimpse in her eyes, and you see at the same time the pride but also the need of Cassian to not tell her it was him, or she will get in trouble later. And the Mon Mothma scene was definitely a scene stealer ! I kinda got the feeling this scene was jumbled in the editing room. This looks like the dinner party that was alluded from her husband in episode 4, and chronologicallly speaking, I feel like it made more sense if it happened around ep 4 or 5 (since she is bringing in her friend to the inner circle, like she told Luthen in ep.4 and that he reminded her about this episode), but I guess they wanted to keep the emotional buildup so they kept this scene for this episode after the Luthen scene (another scene stealer, damn you Stellan !), so that she doesn't get too overshadowed by Luthenhim. And of course, a 6 years sanction simply because an officer didn't like your tourist/migrant face is not relevant at all with our world right now. I have no idea what you're talking about...

[@kevenpinder7025]

Given what Maarva said, I wonder if the Kenari disaster wasn't triggered by Cassa's smashing the controls on the Republic transport. Hmm?

[@ISavant]

But they showed the abandoned mine before cassian and the kids without parents before they even got to the crashed ship

[@kevenpinder7025]

Granted. There are many unanswered questions re Kenari. But, the mine hadn't killed the kids. Something after the crash killed the crew, which Maarva suggested had dissipated. If there had been a lot more on the ship,...

Besides the nature and pacing of the show (which I love), I think one thing affecting the series' viewership is the lack of viral moments or any character hooks to draw people in. It doesn't have a Grogu or a Boba Fett or a young Leia. And I think K-2SO and his relationship with Andor will provide that in season 2, and hopefully pull people into the show, and even get them to check out season 1.

I know why this show feels so great. It feels like Game of Thrones in space. When Game of Thrones was great. Does anyone else feel this way?
