Comment of the day!

[@jasonmarbach]

😭😭😭

[@Helbore]

Regarding Mon Mothma's missing money, I don't think her issue is that she is desperate for the 400,000 credits. Its implied she's been moving around a lot more than that. The problem is that the Empire introduced new financial tracking whilst she was moving stuff around and the 400,000 got stuck somewhere, leaving a hole in her accounts. Essentially, she's stuck with a large error in her financial records, with no "paper trail," to indicate where the money went and why. So if the Empire were to take a closer look at her accounts, there would be a worrying error that might attract further attention - and then, if they looked closer, they might realise that she's up to some shady stuff. So it wouldn't be much help if Vel just gave her 400,000 credits. That would fill the lost cash, but it still wouldn't explain where the original 400,000 went. It would also expose Vel to further scrutiny, as it would just make the ISB suspicious as to why she's transferred that money to Mon Mothma. What she needs, effectively, is a money launderer. She needs to move her existing pot of cash to another account and she needs to do it in such a way that it doesn't arouse suspicion. That's why she may need to get in bed with a known criminal, as they tend to have experience with moving money around in ways that can't be traced. Essentially, she's screwed. She wants to retain her morals, but she is not a criminal herself. She needs to come to terms with the fact that she wants to fund an illegal terrorist movement and so needs to start acting like a criminal instead of a senator.

[@crimsonghoul8983]

I don't think coming to terms with funding an illegal terrorist movement is the problem here for her. It's about sacrificing her parenthood for the rebellion. She is, at face value, being a terrible mother by letting her child get bethroted to the son of someone like Davos. Not to mention allowing her daughter to follow the old Chandrilan traditions, which she and Vel are clearly against internally.

[@staticmonkey8436]

I literally cannot get enough of this show. It is so perfect! One thing I noticed, when Saw keeps saying “30 men” then Luthen keeps saying “plus Kreeger” I think that says a lot about Luthen. It says that he cares about everybody taking part in the rebellion and understands the sacrifice everybody is making. He doesn’t want them to be forgotten. Luthen escaping the Empire in his ship was one of the coolest things Star Wars has ever done. I mean, those lasers were genius! Also, I don’t think this gets talked about enough. Say what you will about Disney and what they have done with Star Wars, but they have NAILED it with Droids! BB-8, K2SO, and now B2EMO. They have given them amazing personalities and make us really feel for them. Lastly (somebody else pointed this out) whenever Andor said “she would be proud of me” then him looking out at the water from the beach, that mirrors his final scene with Jyn in Rogue One. He says “your father would be proud of you” then they look out into the ocean. That was just…this writing is just so top-tier man! I love this show SO MUCH!

i read a comment on another video that luthen's trick with the tractor beam is an allegory for his approach to fighting the empire: make them hit harder and use that energy against them.

[@christopherhanton6611]

that is a Cantwell-class Arrestor Cruiser neat history of this ship. Colin Cantwell originally pitched the design of what would become the Imperial Arrestor Cruiser directly to George Lucas,[14] for use in the 1977 movie Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, although it was ultimately discarded in favor of a completely different design.[15] The design had been derived from World War II aircraft carriers. Originally called the Sith Carrier, the ship was to launch Sith Fighters, and the dishes on its sides were intended to be used to destroy various ships. This idea was eventually adapted for the superlaser weapon of the Death Star.[16] The production crew for Solo discovered Cantwell's design while reviewing Lucasfilm's archives. Industrial Light & Magic then created a high-fidelity CG model of the vessel for use in the film.

[@AaronKelley1969]

I came to say pretty much this, but not only did you beat me to it, but you said it far more eloquently than I would have. Great write-up!

[@pseudonymousbeing987]

The term "Sith" was not invented until the prequels. I think it was first introduced in 1997. Before that they were all "dark jedi". How could the word have been around in the seventies? I am definitely sure that it wasn't invented.

[@AaronKelley1969]

@@AaronKelley1969 Ah turns out I've been misinformed. Thank you for the correction. I think whatever it was that gave me the impression I had referred to how while the word Sith was used by Lucas since nearly the inception, it wasn't expanded upon or used much at all until being fully explained around the time of the prequels.

[@AaronKelley1969]

@Pseudonymous Being unless you were a reader of, (or player in,) the expanded universe, in which case it was expanded on greatly. Knights of the Old Republic comics and games dealt with the history of the Jedi and Sith quite extensively in the late 80s through the 90s.

1000% this!

[@TheJayFoxx]

So the ship that stopped Luthen is called a "Cantwell-Class Arrestor Cruiser". It was a rejected ship designed by concept artist Colin Cantwell for episode 4 (if I recall correctly it was a star destroyer concept). The designs were found by the solo crew and they put a name to it and put it in the movie, but the sequence was cut. He was also the person who designed and named both the X-Wing and Y-Wings, along with a few other featured ships from the ot. Cantwell unfortunately passed back in May of this year, so they desided to include the design in Andor as a tribute to him.

[@saturnyman]

I was waiting for you two to see Luthen turn his ship into essentially a flying Darth Maul saber! LOL Another awesome reaction as always, guys!

[@suicidalzebra7896]

Cassian is so important because he links Luthen to Aldhani and Vel, an through Vel compromises Mon Mothma. He's one of very few people that can take down major nodes in the nascent Rebellion without even knowing it, and is the sort of risk that Luthen has in the past been careful to mitigate against. Even Krieger, the leader of another major Rebel cell, doesn't know what Luthen looks like. No wonder Kleya (Luthen's assistant) has been so insistent that he must be dealt with. EDIT: Oh, and it's 'Haulcraft' :)

[@scotthewitt258]

[@jeremycovelli]

It's a Fondor "Haulcraft." Also the Arrestor Cruiser was seen in Solo. It's a ship designed specifically to stop ships from fleeing, it can also be used to "tow" unmaned ships for reposistioning. I'm wondering if Maarva isn't actually dead and the funeral is a cover for an attack on the hotel / ISB headquarters on Ferrix..

[@ZaberFangAT]

Luthen did also task Vel with finding and removing Andor. I think that, as far as she's concerned, she's being stuck out in the cold while trying to follow his orders.

[@CaptainAmercia]

After seeing what his ship can do I wouldn't be surprised if his "cane" can do 5 different things with the main ability being a hidden bloody lightsaber that just happens to be a cane and a telescope. But nonetheless I wouldn't mind if Luthen had no connection to the Jedi or if he was one, make for a fun surprise if he was a former Jedi and would no doubt bring in those fans who are mad that there's no mention of the Force Jedi or lightsabers. You know people who expected the show to throw the Jedi and the force in their face but instead they kept it hidden "Hah there was a Jedi all along it was Luthen". Also something I really loved is at 15:52 this is a Cantwell-class Arrestor Cruiser named after Colin Cantwell who designed pretty much all the original Prototype movies for the ships in the original trilogy. This ship was pitched for A New Hope and was meant to be a carrier that deployed Star Destroyers which at this stage in Pre Production were much smaller. The ship would later be first brought to life in Solo within the background on a hologram when Solo was signing up for the Empire. It also showed up in a deleted scene showing Solo training inside an X-Wing which he crashed onto the Cantwell-class Arrestor Cruiser trying to dock inside the hangar. Just really cool to see old concept art brought to life decades later.

[@vengeance1939]

Agree they put too much focus on it for it to be just a cane. Luthen could be a former Repulbic Officer who was close with a Jedi or like you said he could be a former Jedi who survived went into hiding and is now planning to start a rebellion. Would by a nice turn off events that the one to help start the Rebellion was a Jedi who survived Order 66.

[@CaptainAmercia]

@@vengeance1939 Maybe a forbidden relationship with a Jedi keeping their Lightsaber as something to remember them by which could explain his hate for the Empire.

[@aussiejed1]

This episode makes me think that Luthen is an ex-Jedi. He converted in lightsaber hilt into a cane, he's dead calm in a fight, he has kyber crystals, and he has lightsabers out the sides of his ship. Of course all of these things could be explained by him being an antiques dealer with nefarious connections and money. :)

Re: What's it like after the fall of the empire? You got me thinking of "Star Wars: Bloodline" [the book by Claudia Grey] - Leia is a senator, no one knows [yet] that Vader was her father, and there are factions of the Empire trying to re-form itself again, leading to the First Order. it may not be fully what you're thinking of, but it does give a pretty good insight. i loved it.

[@Martinbumms]

I heard the confusion about where the other people are who broke out the prison and I actually think it's not that crazy we only see these 2. As Adam said, that was a huge sea/ocean, probably a little smaller than the Caspian Sea north of Iran, so really big. Even someone who can swim well would struggle, someone who can barely swim or not at all will just die and if you try to help someone who is bad at it, you'll probably die as well (that's why I think it's logical that Kino didn't jumo because he would have drowned 100% and drowning is one of the worst deaths). It also depends on the direction you try to escape, if you inadvertently chose the wrong side you suddenly have to swim around another prison (with it's swirl thingys) or just wider until you're at a shore. Depending on how long you swam, there might be imperiasl scouts on their way already. And as we saw in this episode, the scout ships are still looking for the escapees quite persistent. So the chance you actually manage to leave the planet is low af! I think that Cassian and Melshi get there together is a miracle and therefore an experience that will bond these two for the rest of their life.

22:00 That's one of the things I always liked most about the Legends timeline.

Andor has done a stellar job (amongst other things) in showing the arrogance of The Empire and showing that they are at their most vulnerable when they feel the safest.

This may have already been said, but that cruiser going after Luthen was a Cantwell-class. One of the very first designs (I believe) for a Star Destroyer. It was obviously scrapped, but it's awesome to see it make a debut in live-action here. It may have been seen in the Rebels series as well, but I'm not 100% on that. I LOVE it when scrapped models/designs are revived in later media.

[@ZaberFangAT]

That imperial ship is an Arrestor-class Cantwell Cruiser, and we see it in Solo, in a recruitment video. It was also supposed to be featured in the movie, but it was only in a deleted scene. Those dishes are all tractor beam projectors. They were cauling Luthen's ship a 'haulcraft'. As in hauling cargo.

[@NoGoodDirtyRicer]

It's been a while and idk if anyone brought it up already but Luthen's ship is not Corellian, it's a Fondor V-21.1 Chevlex, Fondor Yards Commercial Ventures is the manufacturer. Also the crew of the Imperial Cruiser called it a haulcraft, in reference to it's classification being a light haulcraft transport.

[@juvandy]

Point of fact- they mention in the show that Luthen's ship is a Fondor Haulcraft. So, it's not Corellian. Fondor is a different shipyard planet and it is awesome that they pulled it out of legends. The cockpit just looks like a Corellian YT1300 or YT2000. It does rule though.

Cyril to Sgt Mosk at end of zoom call: "Wait! Wait!,...WHO'S. ON. THIRD!!!"

I have never wanted to reach through the screen and hug a droid so much in my life!!

The Imp Cruiser is an Cantwell-Class Arrestor Cruiser. Actually introduced in live-action in "Solo" in the recruiting film that is playing. The dishes are tractor beams. And, the reason Luthen cranked up his engines while in the tractor beam was so the Imps would crank up the power of the tractor beam and make the shrapnel hit harder to shred the dish. EDIT: As someone pointed out the Cantwell is based on early drawings of the Imp Cruisers, by Colin Cantwell.

Dude it makes me feel validated as a man to know I’m not the only man who get extremely emotional during this show. I’ve been watching your series after I finished Andor and it feels good to see people who felt the same way I did watching these scenes.

The next people on ground show Adam was mentioning is skeleton crew. The Acolyte recently started filming which is gonna have the same thriller aspect as this but set with jedi and I think pre rule of 2 sith so picture all the spies and secrets in this as sith instead and Cassian plus one other are the Jedi that sounds soooo good

While I was first watching that sequence with Luthen in his ship I thought "oh man Jay's gonna love this"

[@andrewichigo]

I heard a theory that maybe Luthen might have been a despondent former Jedi: - He claims to speak to ghosts (about his plans) - He is a heck of a pilot - That pepper shaker could have been some concealed lightsaber Etc

[@scotthewitt258]

THAT might be the post-credit scene next week. Reveal that he is a Jedi in hiding.

[@bhedrick101]

His rod might be a light saber

[@jsbcody]

He could a sentinel or a shadow, or even someone who was trained as Jedi but did not pass his trials. Jedi put the "failures" to work in the Consular and other corps. Luthen has a lot of the skills a spy should have, much more than what a normal Jedi would have developed, not counting Sentinels and Shadows who had similar training as spies and could survive/thrive in cover identities. His rod/staff does look like a longer lightsaber hilt.

I'm not crying, you're crying... God damn...poor Marva, poor B2EMO.

[@jlokison]

It's a Fondor shipyards Haulcraft, or in Luthens case a Spycraft more tricked out than the Ghost, Falcon, or one of Bond's cars.

[@Ghanem-02]

That ship appeared in Star Wars Rebels and it's magnificent

5:32 "He's a sweet, sweet little boy..." And he just lost his mommy.

[@bigplanett]

The empire ship Luthen fights was the original concept for the star destroyer. Cool that they brought it in here and used it.

17:06 - "And a Bomber." That's the TIE Boarding Craft, it just shares the same spaceframe as the Bomber. The weapons pod is replaced by a troop transport pod.

20:50 "Well it's not technically the future it was a long time ago." Actually, it IS in the future. Our future. But it's told by someone even FURTHER into the future, looking back on the events in Star Wars. A kind of "Future retrospective!"
