[@nicolasylb9474]

I love the fact that the Empire doesn't seem to realise what is happening in this scene. They are looking for Cassian and Luthen, thinking they are the Resistance, the threat. They projected strength, and therefore the Empire wants to catch them, and break them. The funeral is just the bait. However in essence, Cassian is the bait. The Empire si so focused on catching him that they don't see the rebellion happening right before their eyes. Hundreds of people gathering in defiance, led by an inspirational figure of the community. They miss the forest for the tree, and when they finally understand, it's just too late.

@@brownkemosabe I think the beauty is that it can be so many. It's proof, what he's doing has a point, his little conspiracy isn't the only ones that recognized the need to do something, there are others that want to fight. His sacrifice is not in vain. It also shows that even if he fails, others will take up the fight even if they never knew about him. It can also be a sign that it's time to change tactics and take up open fight, speak to the people to do something. And the aftermath of the speech is also a sign how brutal the fight will be, how much more will need to be sacrificed before it's all over - there will be a price to be paid, no matter what.

[@evolucario3570]

I loved the look on Luthen's face. The acknowledgment that she has done more damage to the Empire than he could have ever hoped to, without making the mistakes that he made, without sacrificing so much of himself to succeed. Because he knows, while there is a place for him in the grand game, he is not the only piece that is needed. People like Marva, who are kind, who care for those around them, who ask for little more than the respect and love that they give freely, people like that are needed to spark the fire that had long since gone out in Luthen himself. And just hearing her, you can see the smile creep back onto his face. That. That is peak Star Wars.

[@Lavarpsu10]

Hell yeah. And Luthen isn't wrong - the galaxy needs him, the rebellion needs him to do the things he does if there's to be a chance of winning. But Maarva and her ties to the community that love her are the critical "Why" - if not for what they have on Ferrix, there's no point to rebellion at all. Maarva is pointing towards the sunrise Luthen burns his life for.

[@DooMest]

Luthen is taken in awe at the opportunity that Marva had. He WISHES he could do something like that but as he made clear earlier, his role is important but will ask him to sacrifice even enjoying his victory. So he listens at this moment where somebody is able to openly say what he wished he could and perhaps bolster his dedication to the cause

This is what inspired us as children watching the original!

[@BarberJ95]

And showing as another commenter said that the rebellion isn’t just the heroic figures like Cassian or Mon Mothma, Jedi, etc, it’s the people of the Galaxy which the Empire fears the most. Andor helped make the rebellion feel real and shows why there was a galactic civil war and people in the original trilogy were willing to lay down their lives against tyranny.

[@kingofthings7929]

@@kevykenobiYeah. With this speech, we finally see why. Some of us have been fans since we were young. Rebellion was burned into us as children, that evil is to be face, injustice struggled against. But, I think some of us think it’s a childish impulse, something to outgrow. But Andor calls to something deep in us, something instilled in us so long ago and sunken so deep we don’t even know it’s there. We don’t see it for what it is. Andor brings that impulse into the light and examines it with an adult’s eyes. It reminds us that the Empire is not always blowing up planets. It’s a disease, a darkness. A thing that lurks and festers, especially when ignored. The Galactic Empire isn’t real. But that Empire? That disease festering as people ignore it? That Empire is all too real for all too many people. Andor shows us that, seen as if through a warped mirror of our world but all to clear even still. What else can we do but fight? Our old instincts reignited, seeing the world once more and reminded that we all have Empires to fight, different faces and different names but the same disease all the same. What else is there to do but Fight? Fight the Empire. No matter what it looks like or what it says to you. Fight the Empire.

All the major battles like Yavin, Hoth, Endor are fought and led by regular people for the most part. Luke’s struggles against Vader and the Emperor are kinda isolated from the wider narrative, it’s not about Jedi vs Sith, it’s more about good people fighting against tyranny and oppression, just like in Andor. The characters on Ferrix felt like real people with real universal human problems. They are so much more relatable than a bunch of dogmatic demigods who play with the fate of the galaxy based on an abstract and completely binary moral code 😅

I love how Luthen, while undercover on a mission to kill Andor as a loose thread he is, gets to suddenly realise, that this right here is one of the few rare moments in his life where he gets to see the fruits of his labor. Rebellion living in hearts of people around him. I love the look of realisation he has, where he looks subtly around to people, seeing that he stands in a crowd that not only gathered here to share memory of Andors 'mom', but also realise that they gathered here in their shared anger and hate towards the Empire and their regime. He clearly gets lost in the words of Maarva, as he lives his life secretly and this sudden feeling of freedom and freedom fighters around him clearly makes him lose the sense of why he got there in the first place for a moment. He probably never thought he would get to hear and see people openly claim their hate towards Empire in front of their oppresors.

I'm pretty sure Maarva's speech had a huge impact on him. He came to dispose of Andor, but between Andor's action giving him the gun and asking to be part of the rebellion, and the outstanding speech of his mother...

I love the little smirk of recognition that appears on Luthen’s face at 3:10. He realizes that what he has given his life for is spreading. Even he finds inspiration in Maarva’s words.

[@DisorderedArray]

Some people in other comments have mentioned Russia and China, and their oppressive governments. I think they're great examples of people accepting small losses on freedom, small intrusions of state ideology/propaganda, incremental injustices - because it lets them keep their heads down and live their lives as comfortably as possible. They're sleeping, like Maarva says. It's an affirmation for Luthen that the greater good he is aiming for really did require his efforts to force an Imperial crack-down. If he hadn't been pushing against them, Imperial dogma would have slowly blanketed the galaxy, till people just accepted it, until it was too late.

[@kptmaci4979]

Yes. From his point, as he said - he knows very well he probably wont live to see his life's work come to conclusion. This is one of the few moments in his life up to this point, where he was able to witness exactly the consequences of what he was doing and as we see he got almost teary seeing the rebellion living in people around him.

He also saw what Andor's mom was all about. Who raised the boy he is hunting. Most likely saw that there is potential in him. But I also think this scene both made her respect Maarva as a fellow fighter, and her words may have relit his Cynical heart. Wait until he hears Nemiks manifesto too.

On my 107th rewatch of this perfect scene, I discovered a new amazing detail at 3:57. Watch Brasso's reaction to the covering of the droid and the flip. First, he's indignant, angry, confused as to the interruption. Just a split second flash of emotion. Then, the second B2EMO is _touched_, Brasso immediately begins charging without hesitation from the side, and the next cut is the kick heard round the world! All those emotions were acted perfectly and so fast. Wow.

The corporate authority didn't understand it. The Empire didn't understand it. They thought they were hunting a rogue vigilante. That if they hunted one man to his end, that would be the end of it. But Ferrix is a beautiful thing: A community. They repelled the corporate forces because they had a plan and worked together. They stood up to the Empire and sparked their own rebellion because they refused to be torn apart. Be inspired by Ferrix. We need community.

It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that.
