Haha, yeah… the show has so many moments that you’ll only get from rewatching again and again too. I’m only just realising Luthen and Dedra‘s conversation is the same but complete opposite of Andor and Syril’s… about who knew who. Dedra had no clue it was Luthen but he had been watching her for a long time, even tried to have her killed…

Just read that it was unscripted - so her shock was real to what was happening

… which just makes Ben Mendelson even more badass. What a perfect move from such a bastard character

I couldn’t help but think Daniel Day Lewis… "I drink your milkshake … sucking noise … I drink it up!’ too.
Wow. Yes, that was really great.
A lot to unpack.
I’m happy that the last episode didn’t just kill everyone off who isn’t in R1.
The Dedra/Luthen Vs Cassian/Syril endings being polar opposites are amazing story tellings.
The response to the blaster fire as Partagaz comes to an end was a wow moment, too. It just really put across that this ending wasn’t abnormal and really darkens the empire even more than it’s handling of Dedra.
Kleya is a basass.
My only gripe - and it’s really me trying to find one - is that I wish there was a tiny scene before K2SO was woken up after being rebuilt which just mentioned that his systems have been wiped and that he should be fine rather than how it was handled. But I’m really grasping here.

Sorry, but can someone explain the Saw storyline for me?
How I understood it is he’s a mercenary and a bit of a space pirate who the rebellion rely on to help hide and move stuff but he’s becoming a liability for doing too much pirate stuff?
Is he on Jedah or somewhere else?
Yeah he is on Jedha, where he stays based until he dies when the Death Star strikes it (Rogue One). He is one of the earliest resistance members during the Clone Wars and breaks away from the rest as he is more of an extremist (or seen to be).
He helps Galen Erso who worked as a scientist for the empire escape them and relocated him, when Galen is forced back to build the Death Star and his wife killed, Saw rescues Jyn Erso and adopts her as his own and raised her.

Bloody hell that was incredible. I need to watch Rogue One and ANH now… and then go back and watch Andor S1 and S2 again.

He’s also off his gord from huffing petrol, hence the blatant mentalness.
I keep getting told that Rebels (the animated series) fills in a few blanks, but I’ve not got time in my life for all that.

You ever seen that cut that someone made of rogue 1 into ANH? I might watch that.
There’s a link to the GDoc on that video page for any nerds

This is fascinating. The top Empire guys are so stressed because everyone thinks they are awful fascists, which they are, but they’ve also got a deranged cyborg wizard for a boss but they can’t tell anyone and nobody would believe them if they did.

Andor is actually such a good setup for just how powerful Vader is.
You start with Cyril and it just works its way up with people directly above them using people beneath to get ahead until you get to Krennick as the big boss.
And then in Rouge One, you see Tarkin fuck Krennick over, so it continues on…Every time, each player is that bit smarter or more powerful than the character who came before. And that is used to propel.
So, when Vader appears, he is like this unknown super-boss. The next level.
Pretty solid world-building there.

I need to watch Andor don’t I?

You absolutely do
It is more time available to be honest. It has been a long time since I’ve sat down and watched anything!
It also makes A New Hope a much tighter film, all the senate talk makes more sense, the urgency of Vader trying to intercept the plans. The plans in R2 feel so much more valuable from the get go. Killing Lukes uncle and Aunty to keep it all hidden, fits the way the Empire are more in Andor. The fact the plans end up back on the Death Star when rescuing Leia, now has even more added high risk, as Luke and Co don’t really know what they have with them at the time and we the audience probably invested little to no thought about it at the time too, ect.
All of this. Yes.
The stakes are far higher…
