That snarl in her voice when she says "I'd wake up EARLY..." gets me every time. Fiona Shaw killed this role.

[@Andrew1990M]

And hearing “bastards” in a Star Wars story. It’s sometimes lazy to use cursing to make something suddenly mature but this was perfect.

[@SirSpuddington]

Maarva's funeral speech, Kino Loy's declaration to the prisoners of Narkina-5, Nemik's manifesto, Luthen's monologue about sacrifice - I cannot believe we got FOUR of the best written and best acted single-character monologues I think I've ever seen on TV, all in the same season of the same series. Disney may have brutalized and humiliated the Star Wars franchise into an early grave in terms of profitability, but holy hot dogs am I glad this show exists. Absolutely phenomenal all the way through!

[@cgiler01]

And everything mon mothma did!!

[@reconsoldier135]

This is why Andor is some of the best Star Wars content ever. The people who made this and Rogue One should be in control of all future content for the franchise

[@smokeem15]

Tony Gilroy isn't into star wars so I'm not sure he'd want to be in charge of anything. He didn't know much about it and I noticed that's why so many people hate on Rogue One and Andor.

[@zamhobby9662]

This why we should love the Prequel, because it did not bashing or destroying the Original Trilogy, it shows why the original Star Wars really important. Unlike the sequel garbage, killed every our favourite characters like they are nothing compare to "rey".

[@reconsoldier135]

@@zamhobby9662 The prequel trilogy was shit and I don't care that you fell in love with a cartoon series that was made to fix how bad the prequels were or that you were a child when they came out. This revisionist history about the prequels will never makes any sense to me but I was also old enough when they came out to be able to recognize when movies are bad. And just you wait, in about 10-15 years there will be people just like you trying to convince everyone that the sequel trilogy was also great.

[@zamhobby9662]

@reconsoldier135 Good luck with that shit in 10000 years

[@reconsoldier135]

@ 25 years ago I would have said the exact same thing to you about the prequels but here we are. To be clear I’m not saying the sequels are good, they’re not, I’m just saying that there’s a generation of kids who will have grown up watching those movies and they’ll love and defend them forever

[@Allie-w1l]

I love Luthen's reaction to this speech. He is on Ferrix while trying to lay the groundwork for a rebellion, but never expected Maarva's funeral speech (is it a eulogy when you deliver it yourself?) to actually ignite the flame. Up until this moment, he probably just thought of her as Cassian's mother, of no consequence or use to him, but now he can see what Cassian is made from, and how the people of Ferrix can factor into his plans.

[@mechamanblade8465]

Even in death, Maarva fought the Empire! EAT BRICK!

[@CortexNewsService]

Marva would be very happy that her brick was used to clobber an Imperial.

[@jpxenovore]

One of the most powerful scenes of modern television.

[@IanHillan]

Oh my God this show. Watched it so many times and it just seems to get better each time. I am so psyched for season 2.

[@lukasmeggs5857]

The speeches in this show were so good. By far the best content Disney has put out Star Wars wise

[@SirSpuddington]

Also, I love how nearly everyone watching this scene gets super mad when that Imperial officer pushes B-2 over. It shows how deeply invested so many people got in the story haha

[@kharilane1340]

I came here to say that. You never hurt the messenger. If you do you get bricked!!!

[@vinsanity40k]

and they were all mostly quiet, listening to every word of that speech

[@budakbaongsiah]

somehow a brick became one of the most important weapon in Star Wars, and deserved

[@GrumpySoth]

So hard to think Fiona Shaw was so evil as Harry Potters Aunt - she killed this. So many amazing monologues

[@jazzx251]

She was superb as the MI6 spymaster in "Killing Eve"

[@ar471]

Who knew Aunt Petunia could make me feel?

[@bf2spfreakonweed94]

I didnt realize until your comment, thank you

[@alexescalanteb]

Holy sh*t I never made the connection until I read this hahahahahahahaha

[@jq8913]

I cannot wait for season 2, this speech along with Kino's and Luthen's were all epic!

[@combatwombat2134]

Andor, along with Rogue One and Empire Strikes Back is peak Star Wars. The three of them standout by making the Empire an actual threat and showing the levels the Rebellion must stoop to to beat them. It makes it much more compelling and therefore better, IMO, than it's already good counterpart films and shows not mentioned above. Well, mostly good films and shows. Mentioning no clear drop outs.

[@jazzx251]

You forgot the original Star Wars - that shows you the awful Death Star's capabilities ... Without that - you don't get the other three

[@combatwombat2134]

@jazzx251 yeah, that's a fair point to make. Whilst I don't disagree, in the spirit of friendly debate, would you say the destruction of it somewhat tarnishes the theme I alluded to in my comment which was the threat of the Empire? Given they fell prey to subterfuge and intelligence? Or would you consider that a reinforcement to your and my points that they were so strong this was the only way they could be effectively touched at first? Thanks for the comment, I like discussing this kinda stuff.

[@Sage2000]

In our real world we have the rise of the extreme right, claiming "order". Thats why I cryed so hard watching this.

[@zacharyjamesdixon]

It goes both ways really. I’m independent but I’ve lived in cities and I’ve lived in small towns in the country. And what I’ve seen is that the right leaning folks living in small towns just want to be left alone, it’s really nothing malicious. So when there’s more left influence and the cities are making all the decisions about the way things work for everyone, that causes major government control over these small towns that don’t need it or want it. To them the government involving themselves and requiring them to need their help feels like the Empire to those folks.

[@Sage2000]

@zacharyjamesdixon and there it is... The alt right are the antivax, flat earthers, regilgious extremists, militaristic nuts, and all kinds of ignorant people that does not let other people alone. Forget this fantasy of a "moderate right", the extreme right are devouring then on the ballots. These will aways be seduced by bthe Dark Side.

[@bruenastralith5404]

lmao, you know nothing of the real world. Trying to compare Star Wars to modern politics is insane. The Empire is a representation of Nazi Germany, which we are far from. Get out of your echo chamber.

[@obi-wankenobi4301]

This and Luthen’s monologue are in my top 5 favorite Star Wars scenes

[@quentindelplace7196]

It does give you the will to fight fascism

[@jazzx251]

Hmph - its low viewing figures suggest a good reason why the USA elected a fascist (they have been dumbed down so much, that morality and wisdom go out of the window) , effectively ruining the sacrifice of all of those who died in World War II I think it did way better in Mexico considering who THEY'VE elected to office - a wise scientist with a heart of gold ... Dr. Claudia Scheinbaum Faced with a bullying tyrant (moron - more like ..), she casually did a deal with the Chinese as she prepares her people for the Tariff Wars ... Mexico's first female President is proper ANDOR material - a lifelong revolutionary - but rather than rely on droids to display a recorded message, she has decided to go high-energy by addressing the nation every morning in a press conference herself As mayor of Mexico City, she had to deal with thugs and gangsters all the time - so Trump will be easy

[@kharilane1340]

"Maarva was here." "Wasn't she great?"

[@user-blob]

LOVE this series. I no longer watch television but I’ll be making an exception for series 2.

[@TheTrytix]

I don't think many had expected that out of the Star Wars live actions shows we got, the show dedicated to a character we've seen in only a single movie, was the one show that would move the entire fanbase to it's core like this. Obi-Wan Kenobi? Was fine. Book of Boba Fett was... Meh... Ahsoka was okay... But Andor? Andor was a MASTERPIECE! Take notes, Disney, because THIS is EXACTLY how you create a good Star Wars series.

[@MrAshwinChauhan]

Andor is right up there as some of the best written and acted Star Wars content. ❤

[@raybernal6829]

Top 10 scenes in SW history.... If you didnt understand what The Empire was about after this nothing will .. 😎

[@mitchellmelkin4078]

Angela is so touchingly feeling and empathetic. To see her slight nods in response to some of the lines as her tears were brimming is moving!!!

[@thealjohnsonshow2188]

I gotta watch Andor Season 1 before Season 2 drops

[@Justanotherconsumer]

Little slow to start but.. it’s a ride.

[@rikk319]

@@Justanotherconsumer The payoff is always better after a slow burn to start.

[@jazzx251]

You've never watched Andor? Or just need a recap ... Either way - you're in for a great show

[@dolleyes5062]

This hits so different now, in the BEST way! 💪🏽🫡

[@mattwalsh2901]

Feels like the writers are speaking to the true stars wars fans telling us to take back whats ours.

[@user-blob]

You can tell who are the better reactors by the ones who aren’t yapping during this speech because they feel like they should say something. The best reactors know when to shut up and watch.

[@bgt54rfvcde32wsxzaq1]

Greatest Star Wars Show Ever!!! 💯🥇🏆

[@IslesYankeeLady]

As soon as Fiona Shaw appeared on screen I was expecting something huge from Maarva. You don’t cast Fiona Shaw and then not let her loose. I thought Maarva was going to sacrifice herself too somehow.

[@rich24h]

He got Marva to the face 😂

[@magnamater4754]

That was peak Normies reactions back when they still cared about what they were actually watching 😂😂

[@1237barca]

3:44 a real old man’s reactions to some real shiiite.

[@Allie-w1l]

The reason they let the speech go on as long as they did, I believe, is because they were awaiting orders from Deirdra, but she was letting it go on so that she could find and capture Cassian.

[@EagleFangBasketball22]

Maarva was way better than Mon Mothma. She really inspired people to rise and fight against the Empire.
