Sad to see it come to an end. Thank you Kai for such an amazing series!

I'm so happy Andor has received the love and praise it deserves. When it first aired, no one was really interested because it was 'slower'. THIS is what taking your time can accomplish, a fantastic and memorable story. Thanks for letting us go on the ride with you Kai.

Our concept of slow is so warped these days that when I hear slow my brain hears well written lol. Andor episode 1 of season 1, the conversations between Syril and his Corpo boss, along with Andor and Brasso, showed so much subtext and layers to the dialogue already, I was more locked in than any explosion or lightsaber could make me.

Rogue One was 10 years ago (yikes). The music and walk to the ship during the end gives me chills every time. And he never did find his sister, found it interesting that they made a plot line to intentionally leave it unresolved. If you go into Rogue One expect a bit of tonal whiplash lol, especially with the music (kind of ruins it for me after watching Andor) In regards to other characters, a handful of them like Saw Gerrera, Mon Mothma, Krennic, etc. do appear in animated shows and other media. Saw Gerrera's first appearance was actually in The Clone Wars, he also appears in Bad Batch, Rebels, Jedi Fallen Order, Rogue One and you get to see him become more and more radical and insane.

Partagaz' downfall is so well written, the man was literally too clever for his own good, his brilliant idea of making up an epidemic scare lie made it so he didn't have the needed troops to divert in time when Kleya was actually found, all their resources were deployed with the cover story. Also, he shoots himself with a rebel blaster. Plus, Lagrett, who is the person Partagaz chews out the most in the lecture scenes, is the homie to him at the end. Damn.

Whenever I hear Andor chewing out the council, I imagine he is talking to all the other SW slop showrunners about Tony Gilroy lmao. "I won't sit hear and listen to Gilroy be slandered by people who gave a fraction of his writing quality to this franchise!"

It’s telling how in the first scene we see of the ISB board, Major Partagaz is receiving an update from Lagret. And in the last scene in the ISB board room the only ISB supervisor left that we followed across the show. But that’s because he understood the game. If you want power and glory, be bold. If you want a long lifespan, be mediocre. Lagret kept his head down, did his job and waited for his superiors and peers to fall around him. Dedra, Partagaz, Heert, Blevin (never explicitly mentioned but it’s theorised the reason we don’t see him after season 1, is that he was the fall guy for the Ferrix incident), and later even Krennic (later in rouge one) in the end all fell

To answer your question about time gap, there is 0. Rogue 1 (aside from the opening flashback) Andor's 1st scene continues from his end scene here.

"I have friends everywhere" is used in so many different ways. Here it is an encouraging way, in ep 9, it is both a codeword, and a threat from Luthen to Mon. Lots of other uses

Really appreciate your discussion on the final shot, makes me think about how you would never be able to stop gushing about MR ROBOT if you ever watch it. Tod Campbell was DP for all 45 episode and it uses negative space and quadrant framing constantly.

Andor doesn't have the prequel problem because of Luthen's monologue in season 1. "I know that the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror, an audience, or the light of gratitude." Also, the entire purpose of all his feats and accomplishments are that they are secret, barely anyone living knows even a fraction of what he has done, same with Andor. Who in the OT would have any reason to talk about them?

There are alot of good series out there but this show just takes the cake. It was a pleasure seeing your reactions to it and learning alot in the process.

This was a treat to revisit through a new(your) lens, Kai! Do you think it would ever be appropriate or possible to get a re-release of Rogue One, a.k.a., Rogue One: The Andor Cut? If you have not watched Rogue One since finishing Andor then hopefully we can revisit the idea once you have. I wonder about a new edit on the film to bring in the serious tones that match Andor to make it a truly appropriate and deserving finale to the story. As you often say, sound is 70% of the picture and I think that alone could really change the whole film. And remember... I have friends everywhere!

Greatly enjoyed your Andor journey and I learned a ton about cinematography. While I had slowly been learning about anamorphic lenses over the years, your Andor reaction (and Project Hail Mary, Dunes, Batman) greatly accelerated my learning and made me take the leap and order the Sirui 24mm 1.33x Anamorphic (for my BMPCC 4K) and start learning how to shoot in this style myself finally. I really think you should watch Rogue One, it should hit different now. And if I understand correctly you've just recently become a fan of Greig's right? So you might appreciate this much more now and plus you can break it down for us which I would love. I read that he shot with Hawk 65 Anamorphics on this.

Took me a minute to get here after a turbulent weekend, but I'm glad we're finally here. This show touched my soul in ways I never expected it to and even changed my worldview when it comes to a few things. On the decision to make a spin-off on Cassian, this was a Disney decision from a while ago. They were gonna turn Andor's lore into a western type of show, and make it a little bit silly. Tony Gilroy basically stepped in and said that it's not what he envisioned of the character, and if they have any balls they'd make a hard hitting and gritty show where his past looks more like something real than something cheesy. You may not have picked up on it in some instances (I certainly didn't on first watch), but this show's writing is steeped in real history, especially history pertaining to WW2 and revolutions. While the directing, production design and cinematography made it feel real, the writing informed it all. It's the first time Star Wars had something to actually say since Episode 3, and that's why it was so incredible. Looking forward to the Rogue One reaction.
