Star Wars Universe (5 Viewers)

Recaps of season 1 all seemed to focus on the major events, but the most important part seems to be the financial arrangement Mothman made to sell her daughter, with Tay the middleman and the groom's father who provided the money... I'm still not clear on this huge tension we can see on Mothman's face (except while drunk raving) and what Luthen is worried about. If someone sees a recap that focuses on that or finds the right spot in season 1, please post so I can focus on that.
The issue with Tay seemed to be that he was getting disillusioned. He was running into personal money troubles after helping Mon Mothma and the cause out, and as he saw the lavish wedding it seemed like he could easily say something to the wrong person in his frustration and became a severe liability to the Rebellion. Add in Perrin's throwaway comment about Tay being drunk the night before, and the risk was getting too great.

That's how I took it.

wasn't her concern initially over cassian and ultimately Tay potentially selling her out?
 
The grit really comes through in this show as we get real deaths of some characters and they don't Force walk there way back into the gang. Once they gawn, they gawn. Also, Cassian playing the man with no name while dressed pretty and donning coiffed hair was a nice touch and well done, imo. And his assessment of the nascent rebels on Ghorman was true to character and story as well.
 
I made a mistake not rewatching season 1. It’s been so long I forgot most of what happened, the connections, etc.

First 3 episodes were fine. Somewhat dragging. TBH the whole wedding in episode 3 was boring and the rave at the end was me thinking, “what the hell is this?”

I will rewatch season 1, then start season 2 again to reset things.
I binged season 1 and rewatched first 3 episode block of season 2. Enjoyed it much more.

Season 1 was much better than I remembered. Binging is the way to go.
 
:tebow: anytime somebody complains about Disney owning Star Wars now you can just point them to Andor. Absolutely peak Star Wars.
Each week is better that the last, will be tough to outdo these three. Curious to see what is in store.
End of episode 8 with the radio call for help was absolutely heartbreaking.
For me it was the goodbye message at the end of 9 since we know where this story ends up.
 
something that might only annoy me but I have subtitles on and in the scenes that have an alien language and english it will list the english [in english] and not in basic or galactic basic.
 
Andor is really good, I agree. It's basically a political thriller and I think those make for some great tv/movies. I don't know if I'd say that this is the best star wars ever but it's pretty damn good.

Not every episode this season has been a banger but episode 8 was one of the best hours of entertainment I’ve seen in a long time.

Yeah, Episode 8 (and 9 actually) gave me a feeling that very few TV shows ever had before. The Eye of Aldini and the Prison Break episodes from season 1 gave me the same feeling.... I am not really in to ranking fiction, but it's hard to overlook Andor as being right up there for me.
 
Question - towards the end of episode 9, when they are on the rebel base on Yavin and Vel picks up the blaster from the table and asks whose it is, who is the character that claims it? Seems like we were meant to know who he is, but I have no idea. Just as a reference, I never watched Rebels, so not sure if its a character from that? Hopefully it's not someone I'm totally forgetting from Rogue One.

Yes my wife and I wondered the same thing and I consume all the star wars including rebels. It wasn’t a rebels or main clone wars character I’m pretty sure.

Did a little digging, and that is Melshi, the guy Andor escaped Narkina 5 with. He was also in Rogue One, and was one of the rebels on Scarif.
 
How did Andor get the gun into the Senate? What happened to the hidden knife? Or did I misunderstand that scene?
 
the penn was such a good series but this is up there with breaking bad. Knowing what happens in rogue one and star wars/return and seeing the grunts of the rebellion has been pulling the heart strings. This series is beyond top tier

Got to admit, when they first showed the guy's hand raising but you couldn't yet see his face I had a brief moment of..what if that's Kino Loy? I don't think that would have fit the tone of the series though, now that I think about it. Although it would be kind of cool to think that he somehow escaped the prison break and was maybe on Yavin with the rebels during the events of SW Episode IV.
 
I rode Andor right into a Rogue One re-watch and it's seamless but for Bail Organa which didn't effect the watch. What a story. More of that please, Disney!!!
 
Luthen’s big speech at the end of the last season was that he was burning his decency for someone else’s future and burning his life to make a sunrise that he knows he’ll never see.

The last scene in the show is Bix and her baby looking out at a sunrise. Great stuff.
I didn't put two and two together but I'm reading that the baby is Cassian's as well which really makes the scene poignant.

That's the reason she left. She knew Cassian was too important to quit the rebellion to be a family man.

same. The heroic sacrifice hits different knowing that him/bix were a thing. I had felt like it wasn't as good as episode 8/10 but that probably wasn't a feasible goal anyways. The seemless transition is pretty nice though.
 
Andor / Rogue One / Mandalorian is pretty much better than 90% of what George Lucas did.
Completely agree with Andor and Rogue One. I wasn't a fan of Mandalorian and stopped watching in season 2.
Rogue 1 and especially Andor were written for adults. Mandoloiran was written for kids, and felt like it was written BY kids. And not even terribly capable kids
 
If I had to complain...... I would have wanted a little bit more of how the Rebellion went from the Luthens and the Saw Guerreras to Organa/Mothma and a real organized movement. Maybe just a little more flavor in that direction. But Andor is really a great show.

Interesting though that in the grand scheme of things the Rebellion basically went from the highs of The Battle of Scariff, the destruction of the Death Star and the deaths of Tarkin and Krennic to being pushed to the brink of extinction at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back. Disney has done so well with the period between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope (Bad Batch, Andor, Rebels,....I also include Solo and parts of Obi Wan in that).....maybe they could give us something between ANH and ESB?
