Incredible Scene!!! Luthen`s escape |Andor Episode 11

If you have a cool scene, which you think is worth to be clipped, you are welcome to share it! 👍📍

[@The-KP]

You cut out footage from the original scene -why?? Totally unnecessary in my view.

[@levico1]

@@The-KP yeah first it doesnt make sense, true. Ofc wouldnt have done that if i could. But i couldnt, because disney prohibits that. I agreed with disney that the scene i cutted in this form is ok to show.

@@The-KP good question. Actually i dont know how they do it. I think of some possibilities: They do some special invisible cuts so the automatic youtube search for copyrighted footage wont find them (which generally finds a lot) or Disney allowed the scene they posted for some reasons. Also they could have permanent agreements or permission, which is rare.

Excellent observation.

[@jakeg3733]

The Empire's fatal flaw, like most empires, is believing in their own invulnerability and superiority. I think Lucas drew a lot of inspiration from ancient Rome when he made the first screenplay. Romans thought and behaved like this because they were raised to believe they were better than the "barbarians" and the Gods themselves would protect them

[@dianapennepacker6854]

I thought those were some EMP or explosive darts. When I watched it I kind of thought I saw wires connected to them like a taser but no. Surely it isn't just some debrie? Don't most ships in SW have shields to protect against space crap... Especially a ship of that size? I know a lot of ships carry mines and bombs. Also if it is just debrie then that is top ten worse designed ships in SW if someone can just freaking depressurize some space junk at you while you're doing your job. Ludens ship is my new favorite. Small, agile, low key, has a turret, a launcher, and then the emitter beams... I hope the emitter beams can point bow and stern or that's just an other design flaw. Still love it though.

[@lookingforsomething]

I personally loved Andor but absolutely hated the Haulcraft escape. It was unnecessary complicated and more than anything illogically dumb. Laserblades on a starship make no sense. One would need to fly so very close to a ship that the risk of collision for a non jedi is massive. Luthen is no jedi (despite being very interesting and a great character). Moreover the distances in space are relatively long. The opponent has very very many shots before the other ship being in slicing range. A system that relies on the opponents not being able to aim is dumb as heck. Honestly there is nothing to justify the laserblades on the ship other than the rule of cool. Similarly the tractor beam part. Tractor beams have existed in the SW universe much before and during clone wars. Luthen "happens" to be so lucky to get caught up by the few that are using massive dishes to work. The counter tractor beam technology has never been on display before (fair enough Luthen is an atypically well off man with access to Coruscants finest wares). Still if the countermeasure isn't completely brand new then ships would have counter measures for them in place. Larger militaries for sure have access to technologies that Luthen does as well. They run multi quadrillion budgets in SW universe. Luthen siphons what little he can from the resistance funds.

[@deadz0ne42]

What I love about this scene is Luthen's ship, it's like a highly modified sleeper with top of the line tech. The ship's cannon has full automatic tracking and destroys a Tie in one shot. And of course state of the art tractor beam defense. Something only someone as rich as Luthen could afford. Goes to show, what old junk the Rebellion had to work with during their struggle with the Empire, decades old refurbished fighters and bombers. Even the Millenium Falcon had manual turrets.

[@BrokenCurtain]

The Empire's equipment and ships were actually quite new. It was just pretty crude and cheaply made, since the Empire relied on slave labour.

[@somewords5495]

@@BrokenCurtain It also looked like a lightly+cheaply equipped craft, because they need to deploy a lot of these craft in order to properly control commerce in areas. IF you can slap together a vessel with just the bare minimum and a skeleton crew, something that shouldn't be in anything beyond very light combat against civilian criminals, you can get away with that. It's why police have to call in special teams or the military when facing people with rifle-stopping ballistic vests, HMGs, and armored vehicles - even military small arms are extremely effective against civilian-grade equipment.

[@curtismcallister9569]

even something as small as luthen's ship sending a jolt through the cruiser is such a great detail. and if you're looking for a metaphor, it's a great illustration of the empire being powerful, but not invincible

[@Seldz1]

Exactly

[@counterfeit4450]

It’s a great example though, of how they constantly underestimate those they consider to be weak They try to bully a small ship and in turn, are humiliated. To paraphrase: “They’re so fat and happy, that they don’t even care.” You’re absolutely right, they made the right decisions and were outplayed badly because they couldn’t imagine such a harmless looking opponent doing anything but submitting to them.

[@rikk319]

@@counterfeit4450 They made competent decisions within the framework their leadership directs them to follow. That works fine with helpless civilians, but the Empire's inability to think outside the box is how operators like Luthen flourish, introducing chaos to a static, imperial system.

[@BigMac8000]

Yeah it's sort've a great nod to the speed of tie fighters. They're designed to be fast, offensive, but very weak defensively. They're designed to overwhelm with numbers - but by charging at them you have a far better chance. They also have to turn around which is generally slower. Shield management is normally an issue, but given the expense of this bird he probably didn't have to cycle. But by going on offense, he dictated the terms and could prepare shields - tie fighters sometimes don't even have them at all, but they know this, so you're getting full engines and full lasers from them. But if they have to slow down or turn, they've lost their advantage - and if they slow early, which an arrogant pilot would do, all the better for your side mounted lasers. His ship is clearly designed for this kind of engagement too. Great scene. You could unpack it for days. ... and it explains a whole lot about why the millennium falcon did so well. Chewie and Han keeping it together with a proper AI, and care. All of Star wars is either cheap or aging, in terms of craft. You don't see, "new" except for these moments. And then you need someone talented to design it - or somebody ruthless enough to buy exactly what he needs and nothing more. I sincerely hope they don't mess this show up.

Usual bad Star Wars films usually portray a cast of good but weak characters, and the Empire as overpowering, evil, and incompetent. Andor throws all this in the bin and creates a convincing story with only grey characters. The Rebellion in Andor is shown to be brutal terrorists who want to fight the Empire and bring Freedom even if they have to kill lots of people in the process. It's a show that respects the audience's intelligence instead of spitting on it like what JJ Abrams does.

I thought that initially, until I realised he was using the Arrestor Class as his protector so the Tie Fighters were kind of flying into the sun, couldn't really see him and if they fired at him they risked hitting the Arrestor Class. Great strategic move - a real professional - we haven't really seen Luthen's full capabilities yet - can't wait to the next series.

[@timthorson52]

It's a pretty good tactic, even if the tie fighters shots won't make it through the shields of the arrestor class the pilots will refrain from firing. The tie fighters lack shields, but they have string enough weapons to do a lot to a craft like Luthens.

[@RodolfoSandovalRudy]

They is honestly one of the best clips in all of Star wars, just another level of bad ass

[@jackietang3789]

This is one of my favorite scenes in Andor so far besides the Ferrix Riot scene, top 5 easily from all of the franchise counting both movies and tv shows

[@RidgeR5]

This was my favorite scene of the whole season. I thought for sure he was done for, or a double agent who was about to be revealed to the audience. But instead this old man pulls off a more badass maneuver than Solo could ever hope to.

[@cgarby]

Such a fantastic scene. One of the best

[@ianbryant9785]

I couldn't control myself when this scene popped on

[@Niko-hi5my]

The plot of the entire series is taking place on the surface of planets, finally some action in space, and then this! Wow!

[@sdwone]

I can only imagine that Vader had a pretty busy day executing people... "A haulcraft? Escaped your clutches you say? Time to issue out some *apology acceptance* speeches! 1200 of them!!!"

[@levico1]

😂🥇

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

Did anyone else notice how this ships are ACTUALLY IN ORBIT, and not just floating up there. That’s the coolest shit I’ve seen in Star Wars in years. Makes me feel like I’m actually in space watching this unfold. Surreal doesn’t begin to describe.

[@levico1]

yeah very awesome what they did with Andor. All scenes got this touch of perfect cinematic star wars as we want it. Acolyte was shit fe

[@pyroslev]

That little Maverick style buzz of the tower. That's what makes it.

[@crimsonorc]

Luthen is such a different kind of rebel soldier. He's cunning, calculated, driven. Even if you dont like the series, you'll like the chatacter.

[@markoaks7766]

Even at 3:30, this is one of the most suspenseful, creative, and fun ship-battle sequences in any Star Wars movie/show.

[@racializedkanadian]

See, watching this I actually get giddy like I did when I was a kid watching scenes from the OT. LOL. This is a fantastic sequence. Was not expecting it when it happened!

[@lechiffre5452]

I love the imperial commanders calm speaking

[@FalcoSusgott]

I rewatched this scene like 10 times when I saw it first, it wasn't just great, it was JAW DROPPING

[@argeltuazon5059]

0:34 Cantwell Class is a nod to Colin Cantwell, the designer of Star Wars Ships.

[@SpynCycle57]

At the end, the commander knowing that his days as a ship commander just ended. He'll be lucky to be in command of the toilet cleaning crew.

[@jack1d1XB]

'THIS IS' STAR WARS' at it's best, time for the producers, directors, actors for a new star wars era !!!!!!!!!!!😆😁😄😃🤘👍👍👍👍

[@luciusvorenus9445]

"Andor" is a frantastic series. Great scenes like this, great dialogue and compelling characters.

[@PolarBear_Gaming_More]

Also The flyby the Con Tower was a taunt too

[@albino2966]

Also the prevent fire, the tie fighters won’t fire if their own cruiser is the background collateral

[@MrEmmanuel678]

Was genuinely shocked he got that dog in him like that :o

[@jp4651]

The best Star Wars scene!

[@rawwad]

lol 😂 Disney seems to have completely killed the enthusiasm of Star Wars fans if they consider this to be the best SW scene

[@cameron.t]

Imperial Captain just discovered the ability to teleport to the mines of Kashyyk

[@phineasgage8252]

The silence at the end really is *chefs kiss*

[@levico1]

Haha 🙏 Have you seen the subtitles at the end as well? 😂😂😂

[@jimherbert007]

the silence and the reflections of the smoke from the Tie explosions - it’s all so well done

[@jackietang3789]

You damn well knew if Vader was with him there, he would’ve been fucked for real

[@andreisechi7871]

This show and rogue one are the only ones in star wars universe that understand what a high atmosphere or ouside of it means for something that gets destroyed ,especially if big : it will float for a bit before getting near gravity of the planet ,so you could still see fragments of the tractor antenna and the tie fighters in mid air,given thr fact that everything happened in less than a minute . It ads so much !!!

[@flashkraft]

3:26 "urr....Sir? Lord Vader demands an update."

[@levico1]

😂💀

[@j.w.r3730]

This is the one scene so true to the Art of War philosophy of turning your enemies' weapons against themselves.

[@neilwu3912]

I like how it's not over the top action, though I think the surprise lightsaber barrel roll are going to be criticized later for existing just for show.

[@maniacal1870]

The flechette rounds using the power of the tractor beam is one of the coolest 'no duh' things ever to come out of Star Wars.

[@TOFKAS01]

I think the inspiration for this trick is from the Thrawn-Trilogy from Timothy Zahn from the 1990s. In one of the books, Luke uses a similar trick against Thrawns Stardestroyer.

[@freedomd333]

One of the most epic scene on tv in 2022 lol

[@jimmybob5541]

This show is so good. Literally better than nearly every Star Wars movie as well

[@cblchildrenspython]

This show, this scene sets a new standard in the SW universe
