What I love about Andor is that after a thousand years of Sith planning, of the Sith gathering allies, moving pawns, infiltrating the Old Republic, after all the manipulation Palpatine used in engineering wars and crisises with which to finally destroy the Jedi Order and assume power, after all the contingencies Palpatine set up to contain potential threats from Force Sensitives, the one thing that Palpatine woefully underestimated was the sheer will and defiance of normal, everyday people who gave everything to fight the Empire. He, in his arrogance assumed that only his only serious threats were Force Sensitives like the Jedi, he completely ignored people like Saw Gerrera, Luthen Rael, and Mon Mothma who forged a small but determined band of freedom fighters to oppose him. There's something great about the Sith being undone in part by people who made the conscious choice to abandon their fear.

[@Grubnar]

In short, what Palpatine failed to plan for, was Love. Because he had never experienced Love, and therefor did not understand it.

[@ingamingpc1634]

You do fail to realize that while you did say was true about love a force sensitive did ruin his plans Luke Skywalker with the first Death Star Anakin Skywalker when he threw Palpatine off of the platform into the core of the Death Star

[@KrillintheVillain]

​@@ingamingpc1634the rebellion wouldn't exist without the everyday people and leaders like the aforementioned ones above. What Luke did for the rebellion cannot be understated but without Luke it was still an organization that needed legs. They provided all tools necessary for someone like Luke to even make it to palpatine and Vader

For every Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, they're are hundreds of Andor and Luthen, hidden heroes of the Rebellion. They fought and die in the shadow for the Rebellion to succeed, and it's a great parallel with the real world : In every righteous conflict and rebellion, for each figurehead, they are so many untold heroes who carried the fight, and contributed to the ultimate victory. And for these ones, no memorial, no ceremony, no gratitude.

It still blows my mind there are people who didn't like Andor for trivial reasons or because it 'didn't feel like Star Wars'. It's one of the best Star Wars media to be produced, it's astoundingly well written in it's own right, and it elevates all other Star Wars media.

Magnificent work. Whenever I'm asked, "which Star Wars character are you?", I always answer: one of a group of nameless Rebels on Hoth, gathered in a hangar listening to Leia's withdrawal instructions. There's not going to be a historical victory today --the goal is just getting everyone out safely. Leia doesn't sugarcoat her speech: she lays out expectations, sets timetables, and tells everyone to do their jobs and look out for one another. It's such a powerful scene --these are technicians, pilots, mechanics, supply chain and I.T. folks. No heroes, no legends, no magic space wizards with laser swords. Just... people. People who, for whatever personal reason, figured out which side they had to be on, and made the decision to fight for it, with their lives if necessary. Because that's what you DO when fascism is on your doorstep. This video captured that perfectly. Thank you for it!

From everything I've seen, it's the SW fans the most who roll their eyes at all the mindless callbacks. It's "fan" directors and writers they've been hiring that just can't seem to help themselves from staying in nostalgia instead of creating good stories. We need good writers and directors who are not so in love with SW, but who are capable of taking the setting and elevating one step further.

[@Daniel-Strain]

Fans love Andor, and it has a lot of great easter eggs and callbacks - fits in perfectly. But it does it very subtle and the right way. Still, there are many genres possible in the SW universe. They don't all have to be what Andor was doing. There's room for a lot of different styles.

You can treat Russia any way you want, but you simply have no idea how much the situation with the government of my country is similar to the Empire.

For many, "Andor" is a masterpiece, as it is cinematic, dramatic and unlike typical "Star Wars". But for me it is a masterpiece not only because of that, but also because it is very relevant and topical for the people of my country. I cried at Maarva's speech, it is so relevant and heartbreaking. Maybe we don't have enough people like her

[@phantomnat2002]

As a Polish we hate Russia because of our rival history. It is not your fault for the war. It is Governments war, Kremlins war. Not people's war. Sooner when the time comes.... your country will be free from torture and isolation.

@@phantomnat2002 It's not Kremlin who kills Ukrainians. The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness.

[@smoetje]

Had the same thought. Just as Calrissian said: we have each other. And only by sticking together, eventually we can (and will eventually) defeat evil.

[@phantomnat2002]

@@smoetje that is very much true

[@Nickel41279]

You are damn right, man. I had exactly the same thought while watching Andor and Rogue1. Bad thing is that most of the people in average Russia (Not in major cities) supports the empire and the Darth Sidius in charge. I've been living near Seliger lakes for a while and talked much with regular people. And i know what i'm talking about. There is not much space for the Luten, Cassian and Mon Motma there. А жаль...

[@cyberdan42]

Amazing. You have truly captured the heartbeat of rebellion against tyranny, standing against oppression and resistance against nearly insurmountable odds. A testament to what Andor achieved in illuminating the origins of the Rebellion and being the centrepiece of this.

[@preciousotoakhia9789]

Long live the rebellion now new republic

[@phdurden]

Oh my God, my face is full of tears. His work is wonderful. Andor and Rogue One took a new, rawer, more emotional, truer, and more visceral look at everything we understand Star Wars. And that is absolutely wonderful. Congratulations on the beautiful video. He summed up everything I felt watching these two works. Hugs and love from Brasil.

[@ashman8891]

I am absolutely floored by how incredible it is. I sat slack jawed at my desk for a full 2 minutes before I realized the video had ended. Calling this editing impressive is a massive understatement!

[@Lr.Laecro.Lirus3445]

That was more epic than most of the series, that's how you know it's a good edit.

[@dfl7578]

Rewatching this for the first time in a while. This is a masterclass in editing and extracting and connecting themes as well as understanding the emotional content behind every visual. Couldn't help but notice, though...is that a typo at 4:48? Or perhaps an intentional double meaning? It's only barely distracting from an otherwise near-perfect masterpiece. Perhaps after Andor Season 2 an updated version would be in order!

[@SWFT_edits]

@@dfl7578 Thanks! Yes, unfortunately there's a few typos. "Sabotaries" instead of "saboteurs" too.

[@Ivbo]

God…Andor is an absolute masterpiece. I still can’t believe that show came out to be the best piece of Star Wars media that’s come out post Disney acquisition, and in my opinion since the Original Trilogy. What makes it even better is that it was probably the least anticipated Star Wars project.

[@Lr.Laecro.Lirus3445]

Hey, maybe watch The Clone Wars, The Mandalorian, play Fallen Order, read the High Republic-books and the 2015-Darth Vader-series, these are absolute masterpieces.

[@arneczool6614]

This video sums up all the things that make Andor and Rogue one the first and only shows that can really match the original trilogy, and in some aspects, even surpass ist ... a masterpiece ... I find myself searching for Andor on youtube like every day to get some more snippets like this ... to shorten the waittime till season two. I'm dying for it. For the Rebellion!! ONE WAY OUT !!! (=> Season 2)

[@spirithp]

I literally cried, this is so well done

[@coffeengames8865]

K2's "climb" followed by Nemik's was fucking heart wrenching. This is by far my favourite video I've ever found on KZbin

[@TheDark144]

Man, who would have thought Taylor loved Star Wars so much, let alone could make such incredible videos about it.

[@primecoconut4204]

I just realized the Rebellion insignia is a rendition to the Jedi Order which is a raised up lightsaber. A lightsaber is an extension of The Force itself, fueled by kyber crystals which is a gift from The Force. Not only it is a tool of offense and defense, it is a beacon of hope and a guide to light the way. The Rebellion is a lightsaber. One has the tools to build it, you can either conceal it or show it, it will only need the right crystals, the right people and the right moment in order for it to ignite it and fight against the dark and give light to the galaxy. "The strongest stars have hearts of kyber."

[@deeterfly]

@1:44....applies right now....."We need them to over react".....

[@Silem2006]

Luke looking on at Vader's body seeing only Anakin with that quote "I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong" ...............wooooo you got me teared up

[@spmcintyre90]

Your videos are so expertly cut. I've been watching them at least 10 times a day and they have reignited my love for Star Wars. Seriously if you don't make trailers as a living then the film industry is seriously missing out.

[@StarWarsCreations]

Man you absolutely killed this!!! Everything blended together so perfectly that I'm seriously lost for words. Don't even know how you continually do it, but each new video seems to be greater than the last. Keep smashing it bro!

[@SWFT_edits]

thank you bro!

[@akskumar2048]

andor and rogue one literally carrying star wars right now

[@Colin_Boecker-Grieme]

This is a tremendous advertisement for Season 2. Fantastic job!

[@Robintalesfighter]

I really love this, a lot of andor, rogue one and some original trilogy content, and even Lando's line from the rise of skywalker, really a combination of every part of the rebellion

[@RedN3ctar]

THIS IS WHAT STAR WARS IS ALL ABOUT!!! Screw the sequel trilogy! Andor, Rogue One, this is the heart of Star Wars!

[@dom1702]

“alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy” -vid shows the best example of that with the destroyer over jedda, what an incredible edit this is. thank you very much creator for this.

[@bear499]

I'm a dissident and an exile. I've never related more to Star Wars.

[@Ferroxtm]

“Impressive, most impressive “-lord Vader .

[@Guma.]

This is one of the most beautiful, well-composed Star Wars edits I have ever seen on KZbin, I am absolutely dazzled

[@majadott]

Ok now I’m crying

[@marchindley9856]

Best Star Wars video on KZbin.
