Really? Thats unfortunate, b/c I thought they'd made his death a turning point in my eyes. Something that was not just 'important' but critical or life changing I guess. His idealogical speech around the fireplace (to me) made it, 1) I knew he was going to be sacrificed to elevate his/the speeches importance 2) was going to be a rally cry or a flashback or something to Cassian and WHY he would fight for what he fights for. Its sad b/c as soon as he gave his speech I felt sad, b/c I knew the poor young lad was doomed. Not to mention the actor has such a baby face to add to the loss.

I'd love to hear you talk more about Syril Karn's journey through the series. I feel like he was the reverse Luke Skywalker of this show, that we saw a complete hero's journey upside down. He had all the hallmark checkpoints; starting in the mundanity of his life, the call to adventure when he starts the murder investigation, the meeting of the mentor in Dedra. He sacrificed everything for his belief that he was doing the right thing, that he was doing the just thing. He even got to save the 'princess' at the end. It's like the writers wanted to show us how we are all the hero of our own story, which I find to be an excellent subversion of the monomyth of Star Wars through Syril being one of the bad guys.

I want to thank Thor for his positivity all this season of Andor. There's been a lot of in-fighting in the fanbase about this show, but Thor has maintained his calm and rationality, and every review has been wonderful to hear. This show is something to celebrate, and if some people didn't like it, I just hope they can be happy for those who did. Hopefully it grows in popularity, and Season 2 improves upon Season 1 to embrace even more fans.

We had 3 major speeches in this series and the director did well to depict star wars in its true seriousness. You know it was a good episode when Maarvas speech evokes your feelings and make you hate the empire. The tension, emotions on everyone's face, the ambience during the scene, simply phenomenal. Seeing Luthen react was my breaking point. Seeing him realise that he truly shares his vision with ghosts, but at the same time feeling relieved that there is still hope for a rebelion and a war that he won't fight alone anymore. Simply put, 9.5/10 series and episode. This is star wars and we want more like this.

As a music teacher I have really enjoyed listening to the varied opening credit scores and trying to guess what it could mean for each episode. The music in this last episode was especially unique. Brittel seemed to have scored the instruments to play intentionally out of tune or scored in different, adjacent keys, creating not just a dissonant sound, but an out-of-tune sound. I thought at first that this just was meant to represent the brokenness under the tyranny of the empire, but when the episode gradually showed the band members tuning their instruments and then each one trickling into a final unified dirge it made me think this was meant to represent the trickling of people into the rebellion. The change in hearts of the people of Ferrix and around the galaxy, which harkens back to Luthen’s speech to Cassian and Nemik’s manifesto. Each person present made the decision to not let the empire “scrape away at their lives” anymore and instead to come together in harmony to make a stand. Like musicians, they combined in purpose to play in tune, as one body, to do “something” in rebellion against the empire, come what may. Because it’s better to do something, or even to die for a cause of freedom then to barely live under tyranny. I was completely enraptured by the scene.

Thank you for all this. I really appreciate your breakdown and analysis from the perspective of the music. TBH, I actually haven't paid any attention to the music in this show, and I find this to be to it's credit. It does what it does so well that it ads to without distracting from anything. I love John Williams' scores but while all that ads up to a character within in it's own right, this approach is so serving and humble that it goes unnoticed, well consciously to some of us at least.

I love how the clanging of the metal in episode 3 unnerved and disquieted the guards pursuing Cassian, and now in the finale, the music of the band and the anvil in the tower does the same thing to the empire. It’s the first inkling for both enemy groups that they severely underestimated the power of people united in a common goal. In both episodes you can see the growing confusion, anxiety, and finally fear as they start to realize they are outmatched. Both in the clanging metal and in the music of the band, coordination and collaboration is necessary - as it will be for the rebellion and indeed the entire galaxy to come together and work as one. Brilliant use of in-world music!

Seems like a great strategy. Also I’m glad everyone who I think matters have lived to see season 2. 🎉

They absolutely nailed that Black Hawk Down or 13 Hours kind of vibe with Ferrix. From Syril's ill-fated expedition to the uprising here in the finale... they really captured the sense of desperation and being stuck in a tinderbox of hostility. And from the standpoint of the people of Ferrix they're totally outgunned and outnumbered, but get worked up into a frenzy and then, boom goes the IED and it all falls apart.

They made it feel like, 'this isnt the normal pace these funerals take, this ONE particular funeral is.........important' a turning point if you will. Will the people, the Daughters, the miners, the every day folk who've silently protested in their own ways, the mumbling under their breath, the scornful looks, take up this march or simply say, tmrw we fight, or next week, or when its one of our OWN family, or is today the day?

That episode had so many moments that hit: Andor's expression when Brasso told him his mum's last words, Mon Mothma's play in using her husband against the Empire, Luthen's face as he watched the townsfolk die, Andor getting Bix out of the garrison, Brasso hitting imperials with Maarva's death brick....I'm flooding with the imagery. I loved that final moment when Andor appeared on Luthen's ship too: the future spy master of the Rebellion has come out and is showing his chops. He's outplayed the biggest player in the game, and surprised him - this was just so good.

Luthen is probably just taken aback by the whole thing. That scene, I feel, is him being in the moment feeling what the people of Ferrix are feeling and eventually realizing his life's work is coming to life right in front of him. I'd go as far as him catching the glimpse of his sunrise. And Cassian ready to die at the end. I freaking love this show. Oh, I don't know if this was intentional but I like Brasso and all the big men in red turning their backs and showing no respect to the ISB while listening to Maarva's speech.

Two years is a long time, but I am fine with it and their plan for next season (it's rumored four 3-episode arcs to bring us close to Rogue One). I hope the show stays close to the ground. I don't think we need to see Fulcrum or Leia (but they could be mentioned), but I definitely think we need to see Organa and Raddus organizing. Two of the remaining major players in Rogue One. If we do see Leia, it better be as a spy so it keeps in line with, "I've traced the rebel spies to her." But I don't think we need to see her in the show, it would feel more like fan service, especially after Kenobi.

Andor has always surprised me, time and time again. All the talk and theories about how this episode would transpire and who was going to die, yet no one predicted all the main characters surviving. The complex build-up of grief over Maarva's death and smoldering anger toward the occupying Imperials was masterfully complimented by the focused musical score. There was so much to love: All the actors were brilliant and so many subtle emotions were so carefully portrayed. Dedra's terror of losing control in the riot and her helplessness, Syril's surprisingly cool and unfazed rescue of her was a brief but beautiful scene. Luthien's reaction to Maarva's speech and a final hint of a conscience, to his smile at the end after seeing how Cassian had 'become a believer'. The people's released rage at Maarva's funeral and Maarva's brick being used as a weapon against Imperials was poetic justice. But Cassian's transformation too; saving Bix, helping get her on the ship to escape and even his show of affection to little B2-EMO was wonderful to see. Absolutely the most mature, grounded and tightly produced SW series we've ever seen. Even the end credits scene showing how the parts the prisoners were making were joints to connect the collecting panels of the Death Star's main laser just showed how perfect this series was made. Hats off to Tony Gilroy and the great actors and crew: Very well done!

There are a handful of works that transcend their medium & exist as part of the greater collective artistic standard. S1 of Andor has become one of those works alongside seasons of Mad Men, The Wire, Breaking Bad etc... I have been a critic & journalist for years & I can confidently say the level of artistic intent & execution on display in Andor is absolutely phenomenal. As counterintuitive as it may seem, my fear is that because it exists as part of a large IP it will risk being overlooked or underappreciated.

I think Lucas blinded himself with this focus about SW being "for children" and then making everything like Dora the Explorer (as opposed to, e.g., His Dark Materials).

I’ve absolutely adored this show. This is what a war series (that isn’t even necessarily science fiction) should be like. My one critique of the finale is that it left too much hanging for a second season without actually concluding anything. But it makes me think of Winston Churchills words. “This is not the end, not even the beginning of the end, but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning”. Tony Gilroy and his team have done a marvellous job, can’t wait for season 2.

The end scene of the episode is one of the best in the show (the show has a lot of good scenes though). He’s lost everything he’s cared about, and with one line you know exactly where his mind is: he’s at the point where he has nothing to lose. The dynamic nature of his character was so believable in this show.

I interpreted Luthen’s scene of self reflection differently. I think he knew he helped inspired the rebellion that took place on Ferrix because he said he knew the heist on Aldhani would bring about further oppression by the Empire which would breed rebellion. And remember Aldhani was the moment that inspired Maarva to take up arms against the Empire. I think Luthen in this moment of self reflection really realized the blood he had on his hands. Similar to Palpatine, he’s always been a character who operates from the shadows who rarely gets his hands directly dirty. He wants revenge for some wrong the Empire caused him, and he’s willing to sacrifice everything for it. In this moment though, by experiencing firsthand all the death his actions caused, he realized there are ways in which he’s no different than the Empire. Through the ends justify the means moral framework he’s adopted for the cause, he sees that in some ways he simply can’t distinguish himself from the evil of the Empire. I think he genuinely questioned the cause for a second during this moment. However, he is by this point to far gone and committed to the cause that there’s no going back for him. Either way, I can see it the way you do.

I think Luthen was rather humbled. He was probably feeling a lot of conflict and second-guessing his decisions considering that his primary reason for letting Kreegyr walk into the trap (to fool the empire into thinking they're safe) was based on an obsolete view of the situation. Rebellions are breaking out spontaneously, the Empire will know its not safe. People are rising up and leaders are emerging independent of his machinations. Luthen's desire to control the situation (which lead to Kreegyr's death and nearly Andor's as well) has shown its waning relevance and moral weakness. That makes his job harder, but he's also probably really inspired and hopefull seeing how powerful the urge to stand up has grown. I had the sense he was already second-guessing his decision to kill Andor and rethinking his approach before their encounter in the ship. Vel Sartha's overall unease with things was more than just someone losing their nerve, it was an empathic character sensing that there's a fundamental problem with their overarching philosophical approach to things - an approach that would willingly discard the lives of loyal allies. There's an interesting parallel for Luthen with Syril who's whole character arc is set in motion by refusing to ignore the deaths of his fellow security force officers.

Who may I say, had such an interesting character moment of just pure panic when she's been stone cold this whole time! really brings out the fragile humanity of the empire. also, poor bix T_T her trauma is portrayed so well!

I want a spin-off series of just Brasso on the run from the Imperials, hopping from world to world just being a good dude who helps the innocent as he goes. Usually just odd-jobs, sometimes just a big shoulder to lean/cry on with some truly caring advice for whoever needs it, and once in a while it means knocking some pirate/bounty-hunter/Imperial heads. All the characters are great (even the ones we hate), but Brasso is my personal favorite. The guy is just a truly good person...through and through, but he's not squeamish about having to throw down when there's no other way...and when he does, he's a goddamned beast. He's also both extremely intelligent and intuitive. I could honestly watch season after season of him just jaunting across worlds we've never seen, helping human and alien alike as they all struggle in the galaxy.

Such a well acted scene with incredible music, also I love how the beach that was bright and full of people when Andor was there at first, to being empty and more depressing after Andor has escaped the prison. Shows how Andor changed between his experiences, and goes with the old saying: "You can never truly go home again." Fantastic series

The writing of this series, and this episode exemplifies it, is well beyond Disney Star Wars and a lot of modern TV. Maarva's speech was emotional and impactful but also illustrated the achievement of these writers. Without a crazy exposition dump, just through her words to an already initiated people, we learn enough about their funerary practices to be moved by what she's saying about being "raised up." You can feel it when she's speaks of her first funeral from her memory and the through the progression of her life marked by other funerals. So when she gets to the end of that progression of life and she's talking about her rising them up, you know, without knowing/being told, what it feels like being a part of this community. Over the course of the season we have learned bits about Ferrix, and other characters and locations, i.e. Aldani and it's native people and culture, but I've never felt like I was being fed and exposition sandwich. Of course it's not all just the writing Fiona Shaw and the other actors are hitting it out of the park but they have great material from which to work.

From an acting perspective by itself the scene between Dedra and Syril emoted more nuanced emotion than the entire Star Wars - A New Hope movie combined into a single montage. She came off as genuinely rattled by her experience in the blue collar uprising on Ferrix, showing a genuine trauma which has never been paralleled by any other character in the Star Wars universe. And on top of it all this sublimely pivotal moment in the whole Star Wars anthology took place not in the orbit of Ferrix with warships frantically clashing between asteroids nor a planetary level explosion, with not even a single river of lava anywhere to be found... but in the streets.

But instead the episode was done in a way where he is never seen unless he wants to be, and instead we get to focus on multiple story lines that further develop ALL the characters, not just the lead. I left the episode feel satisfied about how the season ended while also really excited to see all the characters next season. Loved it

I was really surprised there weren't more casualties among the main characters on Ferrix. Obviously, Cassian was going to survive and I figured Luthen would as well because he would be the one to bring Cassian into the Rebellion. I figured that a few of the others would be goners though. While still very good, I thought the episode should have kicked the action into high gear sooner. It also felt a little odd for a season finale. In some respects, it felt more like part of an arc that wasn't complete yet so we have to wait for the next season to see the final episode of the arc. It's going to going to be a long wait for season 2.

I think in those moments with Luthan overlooking the city, he was doing a lot of contemplating. I think he has always been the puppet master, pulling the strings from the background. Now that he’s been in the middle of a civilian bloodbath, now that he’s seeing first hand just how visceral these fights are, he may be reconsidering the best way to go about things. Reconsidering hanging people out to dry. Between that and Marva’s speech, I see the gears turning… I cannot believe how astonishing this show has been. I care about live action Star Wars for the first time since Rogue One, and before that the Prequels. Incredible.
