Andor 1x05 Reaction | Star Wars Original Series

[@egarci1010]

The writing is so crisp. No forced humor or one liners.

[@RangerMcFriendly]

Compared to Obi-Wan this show shows how Star Wars can be amazing as a true character piece.

[@19ars92]

I just love that the women are NOT always right in this show Characters have flaws and imperfections which is great and relatable

[@pranjoshi]

@@19ars92 Exactly, I was also happy when the imperial senior officer wasn't just trying to treat her badly. All he said was that if you want to pursue a case on your own time, you better have all your usual responsibilities taken care of. The empire characters are a 100 times better than the characters in the obi-wan show.

[@jeffnmichele3296]

Well said

[@19ars92]

@@pranjoshi absolutely. people hate when Disney spoon feed them with easy black and white story plots, political agendas, ideologies, and terrible comedy, but when finally there's a more mature approach to Star Wars people still find a reason to complain. I guess these types of stories a for a more mature audience and not your typical childish casual fan.

[@grayden4138]

The scream of a TIE Fighter, although fictional, is still one of the most terrifying sounds 40+ years later.

[@RangerMcFriendly]

TIE Fighter sounds came from recording elephants and cars. Ben Burtt is a legend!

[@nalkarauke]

its the same concept as the German Stuka dive bomber, with the siren in the wheel bay so when it dives it screams and is psychological warfare

[@schizotronic]

It wasn't for a long time... for a while, that scream meant "here comes the easy target practice". This series is making them terrifying again.

[@thegreatjedi309]

Now just imagine Cassian prowling through a jungle with another team in the next arc, and then suddenly, out of the silence, we hear a single footfall of an iconically terrifying four-legged all-terrain war machine.

[@shadowcat1606]

@@nalkarauke Hm... i actually wonder, that would be a cool explanation for that. Intentionally making the TIE sound like that to incite fear and panic. Because IIRC, in Legends, it was just like "No, the TIEs sound like that because that's just what its Twin Ion Engines sound like.".

[@maceofbass9295]

"The pace of repression outstrips our ability to understand it." OMG I'm in love with this show to an extent I didn't think possible, given how much I already loved SW.

[@angelica.h]

I really loved the line “ there’s a difference between having fear and losing your nerve.” Basically what the whole rebellion is about, in a sense. That was a great scene.

[@kaizen5023]

This is also something you hear war veterans say often in interviews, so again, realism. Top notch writing.

[@benjaminroe311ify]

It's an amazing scene. Also the next scene "That's as close of an apology that your going to get." "It's good enough" and "I always hated the empire... I don't even know what to call it what I feel now" Such amazing and realistic lines...

[@jasonmarbach]

“Everyone has their own rebellion” is the thesis statement of this show and it’s great, but the line “The axe forgets but the tree remembers” is now my favorite line in Star Wars history. Absolutely incendiary writing and narrative tension all throughout these eps.

[@Jabberwocky415]

“The axe forgets but the tree remembers” was already a fairly famous proverb. I recognized it immediately when I saw the title.

“The axe forgets, but the tree remembers.” This show is giving use some of the best and most insightful quotes of Star Wars ever. Also I’m getting a Game Of Thrones type of fear of attaching to any of the rebels, as in if I really like them they are most likely going to die.

I love Agustin's Speech about the "board" lol

[@foulrot]

My money is on Vel and Cinta breaking from the rest of the group because the heist isn't the actual mission. There have been a few throwaway lines about an Imperial engineer coming to the valley to assess it for the site of a new airbase; Vel and Cinta are gonna either assassinate him or pick him up as he defects. The heist is a diversion to make the assassination/defection not look like an assassination/defection, the credits is just a bonus.

Agustin. What you just said about the development of characters and the viewers bemoaning a lack of action is absolutely 💯 % on the button. I love every second of this show and as you say the people who moan need to grow up and have a viewpoint of more than a 6 year old. This is one amazing show. Thank you for your great comments all of you

[@icywinterof88]

This episode feels like a game changer. This is what a lot of the other shows right now are missing, this episode. You need to get to know the characters, you need to see them in their every day episodes. You need to care about the characters. This was phenomenal

[@normasaldivar8645]

Welcome back, Hector. The comment about maturity in the film making is very on point. It doesn’t play down to the audience, or underestimate their ability to comprehend story. You are very clear in what you see. Mature audience. That same people are unable to fully receive it is their own limitations. They either will come to it or they won’t. Rogue One ripped my heart apart. This is really so refreshing.

[@kaizen5023]

It's hard to believe this is a Disney show, it is definitely Star Wars for Adults so far.

[@AtotheZness]

For sure. My kids, not a fan. Give them a light saber show though or bad batch, oh boy!

[@JackIvyGB]

You guys are absolutely not the only ones who have been asking for a show like this. I have been BEGGING for a show like this. This show truly feels like every character has their own story, and I think that line is the thesis statement for the entire series: "Everyone has their own rebellion". We're watching individual lives and stories collide, and it gives such a rich depth to not just this series, but what is essentially the roots of what launched this franchise, like you guys said. I hope that continues to be the thesis for Star Wars going forward. It could literally be the new franchise slogan. There's a flavor in Andor that was introduced in Rogue One and riffed on in Jedi: Fallen Order that feels like it's on full display here. It's less about hitting all the notes of any classical monomyth or hero's journey, and more about what feel like real people in this world, effected deeply by the events at hand, which themselves are treated as the snowballing consequences of real people making real choices. It makes the weight of sorrow and turmoil even heavier, but it makes watching those embers of rebellion starting to glow brighter bit by bit feel even MORE impactful, because you have truly felt the gravity of how much strength it takes for each of these people to cling to that hope, given what they've each gone through to come this far. I genuinely hope we get more of this style of Star Wars story telling in the future. I've always paid attention to and for the most part enjoyed Star Wars, but it hasn't ever really HOOKED me (outside of a handful of things) the way I know it has for some of my friends (Star Trek and Gundam have been my ride or die sci-fi sagas since I was younger). That said, this is probably the first thing since Fallen Order that I have been beating down my hardcore Star Wars friends' doors to talk and gush about. This is what I needed from Star Wars. I want more boots on the ground stuff, but I also want to see Jedi/force user stories told with this level of character work, tone, and visual style. I want more characters we barely know or have never met to get this level of exploration and build up. To become flagship Star Wars characters that represent the vast amount of stories worth telling that could be happening at any given time or place in the galaxy. I want to continue to take the time to get invested in everyone's rebellions.

[@shadowcat1606]

I still hope for a kind of "Band of Brothers, but Star Wars"-show. A show parallel to the OT (or slightly before it), but not one following the big names and heroes, but the guys in the dirt, the trenches and on the front lines. Something like in the novel "Battlefront: Twighlight Company". Or hell, maybe a show that follows Inferno Squad, but before the events of the BF2-campain, where they actually fought for the Empire because they believed in it, before parts of them defected.

[@sullivanlaramie2901]

Wonder if someone in the casting department had seen Denise Gough's performance as Yennefer in The Witcher 3 and said, "Put her in an Imperial uniform."

[@ValcryeTheSecond]

I know I’m late but I think Denise Gough covered this in an interview that Tony Gilroy saw one of her stage theater performances and directly casted her for it.

[@GG247g2g]

This show has a Masterpiece Theater quality to it that I love.

[@Sasu123456789x1]

I really like the tension in the show, I like how personal it is.

[@misteryman526]

I think the daughter's attitude is more Mon Mothma's fault than the father's. Mon Mothma has clearly chosen her work over her family life for many years, so the daughter has naturally chosen the father who is present over the mother who isn't. Mon Mothma has kept both her husband and daughter out of the resistance, so they are naturally going to feel more sympathetic with the Empire. I'm betting that in the end the daughter ends up informing on her mom.

[@Sasu123456789x1]

That's an interesting point 🤔

[@hectorminator]

I don't know if I agree with the idea that someone is naturally going to be sympathetic with the Empire.

[@misteryman526]

@@hectorminator The husband and daughter live in the heart of the Empire, knowing only the official propaganda. Mon Mothma 'protects' them by not involving them with the Resistance, so they have no idea that there's anything wrong with how things are. They're opinion of any rebellion is going to be the same as the Republic's opinion of the Separatists.

[@hectorminator]

@@misteryman526 Yes, that can be how propaganda works, brainwashing people from the truth, but you started this convo by assuming Mon Motha was solely to blame for her daughter's relationship with her, assuming her husband is more present in their kids' life, and assuming that would lead people to become sympathetic towards a totalitarian government, which I disagree with. Too many assumptions, I think. We'll have to see how it plays out in the show.

[@benjaminroe311ify]

@@misteryman526 I agree. Perhaps it is accurate to that her husband likely supports the empire because it protects his rich status quo and his comfort at this time. Also Imperial propoganda blinds him (He doesn't want to see). The daughter might not give a wiff about the empire or not she just wants her Mom to be authentic and senses that she is not and being used. She might actually sympathize with a rebellion if she knew the stakes and what is truly going on but is likely much in the dark because A) Imperial propoganda and B)Her mom is protecting her.

[@SuperCred1t]

[@Reece_Hart]

Welcome back Hector. Hope you enjoyed your break in Italia

[@u64770]

This show, Rogue One, and the Last Jedi definitely give the audience a better sense of just how much sacrifice and stakes are associated with the war in the stars. You do have pivotal space knights, space wizards, space princes and princesses, and space emperor battles, but with these you can see the how those moments were built by and impact more than just those few characters.

[@SupaKen74]

I just love living in this world. Action will come, then it won't and I will still be living in this world.

[@hockey4lifeish]

Was waiting for this from you guys! Still really loving this show. I think the writing here is the best out of all of Star Wars.

[@benjaminroe311ify]

It certainly has the chance to be THE BEST writing in Star Wars. Which I thought would always belong to Empire. I watched Empire last night again and paid very close attention to the writing and I would say Empire beats this so far but ONLY because it's a complete story with the heavy gravitas of Luke meets Yoda and Luke duels Vader. But Andor as the story develops more with higher and higher stakes could eclipse Empire in terms of writing. To me the writing so far is superior in Andor to anything. But it's not even halfway through season 1 quite yet. So basically I am agreeing with you. If Andor holds serve. It will be the best.

[@kitchenmom]

I love this more “mature” Star Wars. I also love watching it with my 16-year-olds. They are really into it, and we talk about what motivates the different persons, sides. We talk about the whole mess, and it's amazing.

Andor is my dream live-action Star Wars show. We're getting the opportunity to live and breathe in this universe that we love, spending time with such a variety of characters. The leg up the animated shows have had up to this point is allowing us to get to know a group of characters and really care about their lives. So excited for what's to come, but I've been loving every minute of getting there.

I had a feeling your reactions would dig into this really well, and I wasn't disappointed. Awesome commentary. 🍻

As soon as this episode ended I immediately thought to myself, this is giving me House of Cards vibes. There is as much weight to each character as when the TIE Fighter flew by them this episode. Damn! I felt that!

[@Jerome616]

Weirdly, I felt like the scene with Mon mothma really pained her as a our wife and mother. She’s clearly neglected her family to the degree that her husband feels like an afterthought and her daughter feels like a chess piece.

The best thing about Syril sitting at his mother's table is that, given everything we've seen him go through thus far, there are SOOO many ways he could jump. His obsession with law could see him joining the Empire....or his efforts to "do the right thing", as he sees it, and then having it all fall apart because everyone around him has a different agenda....Cassian and the Rebellion he represents could be the one place he sees where everyone is truly striving for the same thing.

Such a great show and episode. I love the writing in this series. Plus as a London theatregoer, it’s wonderful to see so many actors I’ve seen for years building their experience on stage start to get more screen roles - the imperial female officer is Denise Gough, who is a spectacular actress. Then there’s Alex Lawther (the tech rebel), Kyle Soller (Syril Karn) and his mum, the great Kathryn Hunter. Between this as House of the Dragon, some of the best stage talent is being showcased, which is great to see.

[@likecrazyhorse]

Thing about Syril is that he isn't Imperial, he's unemployed. He might try his hand at some unsanctioned bounty hunting to try and make his mark

[@AllieKitaguchi]

I couldn't agree more with what y'all have been saying -- I truly feel like people have lost grasp of the character driven, slow paced stories, which are (often times) more engaging and rewarding than a regular action/blockbuster. This show is proving that you can make compelling stories without crazy action sequences, or magic, or anything other than dialogue and subtle looks between characters. Personally, I'd say it's an easy top 3 for me, in terms of Star Wars shows, right alongside Clone Wars and the Mandalorian.

When Opposed to the Tie fighter's is first seen in Star Wars it's described as "small" by Obie Wan, then Han chases until he is snagged by the Death Star's tractor beam. A New Hope makes the Tie look week and Andor makes it look unformidable. This shows the growth of the Rebels. Also The Millennium Falcon and Han Solo are bad ass. last part is a given. Thanks

I think Mon Mothma's family is getting a lot of shit, if you put yourself in their shoes they have an absentee mother who sets up a lot of weird "fake" charities (which she's using to funnel money to the rebellion) but they have no context for what she's doing. She just looks like a mother that doesn't spend time with her family, supports the Empire, and sneaks around all the time. Her husband probably assumes she's been cheating on him. I don't blame them for the way they act, context is everything.

[@anatolygellido]

16:13 yup assassinating the engineer coming from coruscant

[@donaldwatson7698]

Two possible writers' oversights: (1) Who was supposed to be the original 4th man of the fake patrol? The show has already demonstrated Imp patrols are four-man teams, Cassian was not anticipated, the two women and the lieutenant already have designated roles, so whom did they expect to fill the fourth position on the Rebel cell's fake patrol? (2) Planets have their own rotation, and yet the Rebel cell at the dam and Luthen's antiquities shop on Coruscant share an end of day/start of night. While it might be feasible that two planets would sometimes align just right, the suggestion is that they share a day/night cycle. A common clock is one thing. For storytelling purposes you can imply a common galactic clock (not getting into the relativity of time for the moment), but the rotations around different suns will have different day/night cycles. Also, love that TIE fighters are incredibly intimidating again.

It's funny how Rogue One's main problem is this show's greatest strength. Which is taking the time to slowly develop these characters, so that we care what happens to them. Don't get me wrong, I love Rouge One, but watching each main character die one by one didn't leave much of an impact because I didn't know them well enough.

[@benjaminroe311ify]

Yep I only feel emotion at Jyn and Cassian's death because we get much more from them.

[@TheChiraagG]

Schedule: the common root is the Greek word skhida “splinter”, which contains a “K”… The word “schedule” itself was borrowed into English from Old French cedule (no “K”), which, in turn, is based on Latin schedula (pronounced with a “K”). It seems that it is not possible to argue that any variant is etymologically more appropriate than the other.

[@kaizen5023]

19:00 YES, Rings of Power and Andor have both been accused of being slow, BUT with Rings I actually stopped caring about the characters so I don't care and don't even feel like there is much of a point in watching the show anymore -- in contrast with Andor where the tension is building and building like to the payoff in episode 3 when a lot of crap went down, and now it's building up to that again for episode 6 with the three episode arcs.

Andor is a DEEP, next-level, redefinition of "fan service". This is for the most hardcore fans IMO...because it's a dense, character-driven, SLOW burn. This show has me sucked in, and because I'm a die-hard, not casual, fan ...I am already invested, hugely curious about the building of the rebellion in fragments and willing (eager?) to go on a deep dive. It's the "micro" (so internal, so small)... that we almost ignore the "macro" (fate of the galaxy) and casual fans will be bored. But if you love the minutiae and emotion...this is fabulous.

[@opsatr]

Not sure if the division is between 'hardcore' and 'casual' fans. I would consider myself a casual fan and I love this. On the other hand, I've seen some who apparently falls under 'hardcore' fans who find this slow... I think it's more dependent on how one sees Star Wars, what it means to them. For those who, and I don't mean this in any negative way, sees Star Wars through... I'll call it their 'child' eyes, they probably enjoy it best if it brings them back to their childhood, a sense of awe and wonder... While a show like Andor would appeal more to those who don't mind taking a more mature approach.

[@benjaminroe311ify]

I agree with both of you. I DO feel that there are not many Hardcore Star Wars fans that if they gave this a real chance would dislike it. That meaning. You're not really a real hardcore fan if you just watch all the content and go the Disney's galaxies edge etc and you know you like Yoda and Baby Yoda. I mean... there is so much lore and world built in Star Wars creative Universe with the additions of The Clones Wars, Rebels, The Bad Batch etc etc etc. That if someone hasn't seen those... I don't consider them hardcore fans. They don't REALLY know the Star Wars universe. But to me... even though I don't like all entries into the Star Wars Canon and even strongly dislike some entries, (Looking at you The Last Jedi) If you don't know the points of lore and are missing points of character development from key shows and stories... then you don't get to opinionate and your opinion be respected by true hardcore Star Wars fans as to whether Andor is good or not. It's like someone telling me their opinion about Darth Maul leading a black market crime cartel at the end of Solo... but they haven't seen Clone Wars or Rebels. Or someone asking me who's that? When Ahsoka shows up in the Mandalorian. "Hardcore fan" of course is subjective. But there are people that live and breath this stuff (I happen to be one of them) and I think most of US DO love Andor.

I'd like to thank Augustin for his rant. People have become so utterly spoiled and entitled when it comes to media, especially television. It was, to me, a mistake to put Daredevil in the trailer, because She-Hulk became the "where's Daredevil?" show, and it soured the entire series. Nothing irks me more than when a slow-burn is called boring or uneventful. I am honestly enjoying Rings of Power because, after character development, my favorite thing in cinema is worldbuilding ; of which both LotR and Andor are doing very well and both accounts. Also, WHY DONT YOU GUYS HAVE 500K ALREADY!? The world makes no sense
