Jung: yeah Luthen? you gonna shoot me? Luthen, you gonna shoot me in broad daylight in front of all these aliens?!

Kryptik _

Funny how Luthen changes his last name from Lear to Rael which is literally just backwards 😂😂

Noah Angkotta

Crazy that sheera predicted the knife scene!

cornett0

Not sheera just calling out everything 😂

Hey roshi, I was wondering if you and the gang would be willing to do a rewatch reaction to rogue one especially since the added context of the show makes the movie hit even harder. I’ve seen other channels do the same and I think it would be cool. I understand the schedule is packed so take this with a grain of salt haha.

Krype

How does one balance such passionate competence with the mindless decision to confront Luthen Rael on your own?!

Jacob Livingston

Pls rewatch rogue one after this on the channel!! It makes the movie so much better and hit so much harder…. 😭

Hi guys! After seeing you guys get into Andor I’ve been thinking of recommending 2 things 1. Rogue one rewatch. Andor flows perfectly into rogue one and it’s a great watch it’s really Andor s3 and I think it would very enjoyable for u guys(this doesn’t have to even be a reaction, just a recommendation) 2. A reaction to the animated tv show Star Wars Rebels. It’s a kids show that has its problems in the first season, but it ends up turning into great Star Wars tv. It even has some(very small amount) interaction with Mon’s story line. You get introduced to great characters, like kanan and Thrawn and a very good storyline. Plus, since you guys have watched Ahsoka a lot more will make sense after watching rebels. Highly recommend and I think you guys will enjoy it! Would love to see a reaction of it

“Why is the armor so weak?” Because the lack of regard for humanity inherent to authoritarianism always comes back to eat its own. Theres no real accountability system once you have total control because you no longer have anyone to answer to. So if the imperial army has shit armor and gets its own soldiers killed so what? Its not like the senate can make the emperor answer for it. And in this way the authoritarians make themselves weak.

Sheera grasping at the ether trying to make a reason for Star Wars armors purpose. 😂

Rogue one rewatch after episode 12 would perfect

Lemons

Jung was a loose end. He had to be clapped. He knew too much. With him dead, there's no reason for the ISB to go after his family either.

W Wang

About the armor, it's supposed to block shrapnel, not blaster bolts. Stuff like pieces of metal and dirt flying at fast speeds from explosions. Also, these aren't even stormtroopers, just 9-5 security guards, they're on the lowest of the lowest rung

aboveonemore

Can you pls rewatch Rogue one

Adrian Locke

Luthen knew him and Jung were cooked. All he had left to do was save Kleya

Stormtrooper armor mostly serves two functions: environmental/ blunt force protection and, as Sheera said, psychological intimidation. The helmet design evokes the image of a skull for a reason. But the usefulness of armor in general really just depends on what the story calls for. The K2 units in this show are impervious to most blaster fire, whereas in Rogue One they’re more easily damaged by it. But some novels have tried to explain it by saying some blasters are just stronger than others.

AvatarJordy

I also want to join the choir begging for a Rogue One rewatch after Andor is done! 🙏

41.00 If Deedra was there when Klaya showed up, she would've got smoked. Deedra can't fight or shoot; she's a strategist. Kleya caught 4 bodies on her way there, Deedra would've been the fifth.

So assuming you guys hadn't watched Rebels yet, that stone tablet at 15:28 w/ the hand signs/symbols on it? That's an easter egg from Rebel's Season 4 when Ezra and Sabine were studying that fragment from the Jedi temple when they were about to pull off some crazy shit on his home planet on Lothal (I think some time traveling chaos or whatever). I love that little callback there....! Also Roshi, to quote what Rex from Rebels said about the Stormtrooper armor (paraphrasing more like since it's been a long time since I watched Rebels lol): "their armor is trash compared to a clone trooper's armor" lol 😂

lackingnames

everyone in comments saying how the armor protects from physical impacts then u watch a SW movie and random stormtroopers get knocked out by a light impact from a stick

Sam

I love Kleya. One of the best new additions to the SW universe imo. The actress killed it and her character is awesome.

Godrick

I mean.. we all knew Kleya had DAWG in her.. I didnt know she was born on Demon Timee

Another thing about the armor, clone trooper armor (18 years prior to this) could absorb some of the energy some times, you might still die, but at least you wouldnt get a hole through your chest. When the emperor came to power in 19BBY the Grand Army of the Republic became the Imperial army, and my pet theory is the uniform’s similarity to clone armor was used to create a sense of continuity during the transition. People already liked the clones, they were heroes. And when they put on imperial armor it was different, but they were already used to people in mostly white armor. Narratively its a plot device.

Drake Rage

The explanation for the armor being ineffectual is because of the fact that Beskar exists. Used by Mandalorians, Beskar is highly valuable since it does offer very high-level protection against blasters and lightsabers.. so in order for Beskar to retain its value, in the lore, they cannot give other types of armor (especially low-level armor that are plentiful) any real ability to protect against blasters and such. But yeah, the purpose of the stormtrooper armor is mainly for intimidation (the look of the armor), but also has protection (depending on the armor) against the elements/climate, explosions, hand-thrown projectiles (like rocks and pebbles), just protecting against real-world type stuff, lmao.

rrrebo

My understanding of the Stormtrooper light armor is that the white is a reflective surface that will repel glancing shots from energy bolts, but a straight-on blaster shot will punch right through. It's almost more of a uniform than it is functional armor.

Jason Marbach

This was far and away my personal favorite episode of the whole series. I absolutely cannot watch it without crying. Single dad who raised my stepdaughter alone, so the lone wolf and daughter thing is always gonna destroy me. It was executed so perfectly here. When you re-watch and see Luthen say “Move” to Kleya in the beginning, it hits SO hard.

Jason Marbach

RIP to the greatest character in Star Wars history. Absolute legend.

Jason Marbach

Also, I need a follow up to this show that follows Kleya, Vel, Wil, and others as they continue the work to help take down the second Death Star. I need that show EXPEDIENTLY

Jason Marbach

Crazy thing is this show is the first real acting gig Kleya’s actor has had since she graduated college. She KILLED it. Need her to be a star tomorrow

howwlll

The casting and direction for young Kleya was great, completely believable as a young version of Elizabeth Dulau and the personification of her character

Jaelyn Mcgee

I noticed during that handshake scene that Luthen's is a dainty polite politico hand shake, while Dedra's is full on no nonsense let's get this out of the way death grip

Jaelyn Mcgee

I need to see lupa, Roshi and Sheera as backgrounds in a star wars show. I know the director would hate to see them coming cause they'd just be saying shit. "Lupa your line is compassionate leaders will burn" Lupa: zoidburg noises

Sam

Even though luthen saved kleya, he was over there to finish her people. Him being a sergeant, he must’ve done that type of operation several times before. imo he’s not the goat anymore 😭 though i prefer his way more than saw and mothma

Derrick B

The empire really is trash. They still cant wrap their heads around the fact that there are people everywhere willing to go against them.

vickylikesthis

luthen sayign to everyone that attachment is not worth it while having his daughter with him the whole time.

Seth Aasland

Luthen’s ruthlessness truly rated E for everyone, literally everyone. The *only* exception I can think of is obviously Kleya, but even then idk

bark

Luthen “Rael” really just spelt his name backwards and said that’s my new identity

Samuela Shannon

15:29 I JUST realized: THAT'S THE THING FROM REBELS! The father daughter and son thing!

WTT_321

I just remembered that Heert talking to Dedra was the same one that was the enthusiastic one from Season 1 who helped her look up files left and right regarding Andor/Luthen (aka "Axis").... Crazy how he suddenly got the promotion to overthrow Dedra's position.

Malcolm Washingon

Pretty sure the armor disperses the heat and force enough to save their lives, but not enough to keep them conscious up and fighting. So better to have than not, cuz you could be saved if you get medical attention. But if you get shot and no armor then you're extra crispy

ERRORCODE616

Elizabeth Dulau (the actress for Kleya) said in an interview I stumbled upon that Kleya didn't see Luthen like a father, because that would imply that she had forgiven him for what he participated in doing to her people. She hated him for that, but she also allowed love to develop and coexist with that hate as they fought together against the Empire, seeing the lengths he was willing to go for that goal. Her being able to cry for him and kiss him on the forehead felt to me like she was finally letting go of that hate because he was gone.

sakamoto days

Youngstar

The storm trooper armor does provide some measure of protection, but as Sheera mentioned its more for uniformity. Every storm trooper looks the same encourages a group mindset and fosters unity. Us vs Them.

Asl43n

bro, this is Star Wars ofc the armor doesn't do shit, what do you think you're watching? Just because the show is good and has a serious tone, you think they're not going to include the Star Wars foolishness? Come on now

Able

Idk if this explanation is canon, but I saw a comment before that blasters have different grades of power/penetration/etc and Storm Trooper armor is proficient against lower grades, while anything higher grade is made illegal by the empire to limit its use against them, for a rebellion though that just means you know exactly what weapons would work against them. Idk that the show creators intend that with different blaster fire having different colors. Cool if canon though! adds to the whole "the empire's hubris was part of its downfall" kinda vibe

BadNewsBearsOP

wym goofball it just depends on the type of armor the troopers have on. Same with the blasters, yes star wars has the foolishness but there’s also the lore to it lol

t500010000

I think bounty hunter armor was is shop

Jonathan Blaze

Loved this episode. Kleya is top 3 Andor character for me.

Oliver

Considering how much Krennic had to clean up the entire Rogue one movie all because of this leak 7:45
