I feel like Saw ends up kinda being a self-parody when written by the wrong writers. Here his paranoia is completely justified, as he realizes just how wide Luthen’s net is. But he’s still a competent leader and knows what has to be done

[@starwarsunlimiteduniverse]

*I definitely loved his reactions & his facial expressions during this scene. It was so great to see Saw react in his own way that we already know how he reacts. I'm looking forward to seeing him hopefully in season two!*

[@Marvolo14]

That's part of the tragedy of Saw. He was traumatized by the death of his sister. Then shortly after her death he had to watch his former allies, Clones, betray him and everyone he cared about, and had to watch the Republic take his home from him. He had to run from everything, and spent 20 years fighting a guerilla campaign without anyone he could fully trust or care about. By the time of Rogue One he's pretty much insane, and trapped in his own delusions and pain.

[@Marvolo14]

It's easy to see him as a parody, or be exasperated by his methods and paranoia, but having seen where he began and knowing how far he falls its just pitiful what became of him.

[@slewone4905]

i play this video game with teams. When we were about to be top 100 which makes us a substantial group, I realize people were stealing my players. I made a joke about it, and one of our best outed himself. Then it happen again ,and I am now dealing with my third major event. I am in a weird position and my group got first place and ended a dynasty. I got there partly because Spies didn't find out I was trying, and my group was not thought of as a threat and kept quiet. But I lose a lot of players and my people are susceptible, because I don't even trust them. I am constantly looking for saboteurs. In a cut throat situation, Paranoia is a survival skill.

[@lykezomfg11]

I love how saw starts to look around the room at 1:02 as he starts to wonder if any of his men is feeding Luthen info

[@zeroinsight8566]

One of the most powerful aspects of this scene is how often Luthen says "plus kreyger". For as cold and devious as we see him it shows a level of weight that he mentally carries. He doesn't make these decisions lightly. It's 30 men plus kreyger.

[@YouGotServed835]

Meanwhile he downplayed the # of men to Saw while telling Lonny it was actually 50.

[@subaruford3344]

I like how anytime Saw says "30 men" Luthen always adds "plus krieger". It shows that Luthen really still cares about him even though he is going to be sacrificed.

[@YouGotServed835]

This is such a bad take. 1st- He lies about the # and the proof is he told Lonny it was 50, probably because he knows he'll eventually find out. 2nd- He's pretending to care as much as you think. He manipulated Saw into thinking it was his choice. He made up his mind before he got there.

[@jackrutledgegoembel5896]

@@YouGotServed835 Definitely a valid reading of the scene. Luthen can be read as kind of sociopathic in these monologues - his empathy seems calculated and I could certainly see it as feigned. But the emotion is real, I think. If he didn't care about the lives of others he wouldn't be in this fight. I think Kreegyr's life truly means something to Luthen, as calloused and intentionally deceptive as he may be here, and that the remorse is genuine.

[@ALUCARD-us3il]

@@YouGotServed835 i dont think so, if krieger didnt mean something to luthen he wouldn't have said "plus krieger" when saw said that 30 men would die, even though luthen lied about that, it was actually 50. as for why he lied about the true number, luthen and saw are very clearly either friends or on good terms with each other, luthen might've lied to soften the blow for saw, knowing his mental issues at this point in his life. luthen is very cold and calculating yes, but he isn't 100% void of emotions, he actually shows some of it when near the end of the season he convinces lonny to stay in the fight when he was planning to leave.

Skarsgård not getting a golden globe nomination has to be one of the biggests snubs of all time. But I'm glad Diego did. Skarsgård deserved it more, though. Epic acting. In fact the acting of almost every side character in this show is magnific.

[@scush]

i wouldn’t say “more” … what diego did was phenomenal, too. his performance is so subtle yet grounded and diego’s own writing of cassian’s backstory and his personal biography as a mexican who supported and protested for the zapatistas as a young man was instrumental in forming the character of andor. diego absolutely put in the work and you can tell. this show probably wouldn’t exist without luna’s creativity and dedication to this role, so they are extremely fortunate to have cast him back then for rogue one. but yeah, you are obviously right about skarsgård, too; he is one of my new favourite actors. i first saw him in chernobyl and was completely entranced by his perfomrance-and that’s another series full of far too many brilliant actors to choose from. in an ideal world, they would have both gotten the award/nomination.

What I love about this scene is that the show runners gave the actors room to perform, to let the scene breathe. I love the way Whittaker lets you see Gerrera start to spin out, the way his intelligence and paranoia go into overdrive, pulling him out of the conversation as he starts making connections and extrapolating further based on those connections, probably mentally flipping through the roster of his own guys, trying to guess which ones were Luthen's.

[@ALUCARD-us3il]

most shocking thing here is that saw hates kreeger, he said so himself to luthen during their last conversation, he cant put aside his hate for him because kreeger was a seperatist during the clone wars, so you'd think that saw would have no problems with the empire wiping him and his group out, but here he shows shock and empathy for kreeger despite knowing his past, he even planned to join him on that raid until luthen warned him that the ISB was waiting for kreeger.

One of the things no one seems to talk about is how big was Kreiger's (SP?) force? Lonnie brought up the number of 50, and Luthin did not correct him. Saw says 30 men, and Luthin only adds "Plus Kreiger." In both cases, he let the person bringing up the number think they have an accurate accounting. I wonder why?

because Luth may not know himself of the numbers. Kreiger may not have all of his forces go in on the raid or he could pick up additional ones just like he needed airpower to come in.

@@toomanyaccounts I think you are missing the point. Twob different people have given two different numbers. The person who they looked to to confirm or deny has made them each feel as though they have a handle on the intelligence, and the he (Luthen) is in control of the situation. Now, this is either a script continuity error, or Luthen is not telling (or doesn't know) the actual number. He's not letting anyone else see that card. It's just an observation, not an ISB case.
