The 3 episode Arc structure isn't consistent in the first season, but season 2 really leaned into it, going so far as to release the episodes three at a time. S1 Arcs are 3eps, 3eps, 4eps, 2eps.

Yes, Scariff was in Rogue One. It's the planet where we find Saw Gerrera (played by Forest Whitaker) and his joyous bunch of Rebels. (WRONG!) Edit: Jeddah is that planet. Scariff is the planet where they take the Death Star plans at the end of the movie! Thanks Kate Bee for putting me back on track...

Yannick, from Montréal

Game of Thrones Alums: Vel (played by Faye Marsay, as The Waif in GoT), Major Partagaz (played by Anton Lesser, was Qyburn in GoT)

Yannick, from Montréal

For season 1, I defined it more as Arc 1 (ep 1-2-3), Arc 2 (ep 4-5-6), Bridge (ep 7), Arc 3 (ep 8-9-10), Finale (ep 11-12). For season 2, it's clear cut 1-2-3 / 4-5-6 / 7-8-9 / 10-11-12

I’m so glad I was right about The Waif. I looked it up as soon as we were done to be sure.

Neill Shaughness

I know some call 7 a bridge, but I look at it as a heavy exposition episode for the third arc.

Yannick, from Montréal

Senator Mon Mothma is the Rebel Leader that left the Imperial Senate to lead the Rebellion. You saw her in Rogue One, and in Return of the Jedi (played by another actress that time, obviously)

This is the show I’m most impatient for every week. Seeing how much the guys appreciate it already and knowing what else is to come I really look forward to it.

micah

it took the combined ingredients of idiocy, ineptitude, and total disengagement for this FARCE to have reached the full apex of incredulous disaster!

Kate Bee

Scarif was the beach planet with the Imperial base at the end of Rogue One. Saw Gerrera was on Jedha.

Kate Bee

Also Lord Royce (Rupert Vansittart) was Syril's boss!

Chris

Yep, Kate is on it.

Yannick, from Montréal

So true... MY BAD! Scariff is where they find the plans for the Death Star in Rogue One. I'll correct my original post!

Chris

The plan was for 5 seasons, but after 1 it wasn't just the cost, but everyone involved with the show was like "five seasons will literally kill us... and Diego Luna will be like, 60 by the time we're done." So they compressed the story into the second season. Which sounds like a compromise, but holy cow does it work.

Kate Bee

I'm so happy that you guys are enjoying the show so much this early on, because it somehow just gets even better and better from here. This channel was THE Andor reaction I've wanted most. So I'm very excited for the rest of this journey, and I hope you both do a Rogue One rewatch once you finish it! On the 25th, a long-awaited fan edit of Rogue One is coming out that's supposed to make it match up more with Andor tonally. I'm very excited for it.

Lola Lirola

I'm so happy that you also enjoy that prissy little imperial fashionista so much. He's one of my favorite characters too! I always love a repressed, fastidious, closeted villain who just could have avoided all of this if he had been allowed to do musical theatre in school, they're my favorite.

Suzanne Whyte

When the guys thought he might be heading to stay with a college roommate I thought, there’s no way anyone forced to share a room with Cyril would still be friends with him. Cyril is so uptight it would be a Buffy/Kathy situation for sure. I enjoy him very much as a character but he would be a nightmare to deal with.

Lola Lirola

I remember her from the originals, because there were so few women in Star Wars overall, and she seemed commanding and powerful, so I liked her as a kid!

John Marnell

Seeing Eben here reminded me, not sure if you guys were aware of this, but 2 weeks ago they released a surprise standalone episode of The Bear featuring some sort of prologue w/ Richie and Mikey. Presumably worth covering before the last season drops at the end of June!

Ashleep

Anton Lesser--Partagaz here and Qyburn in GOT--is also a WONDERFUL part of the first years of British period detective series Endeavour! I think Partagaz's character in Andor is the dark sided version of the Endeavour character, actually. I am so grateful he was yet another one of the wonderful actors cast in Andor!

Lola Lirola

Oh, definitely! And of *course* his mother is a teeny-tiny, tough-as-nails ballbuster. They just nail every detail on this show. It's so good!

Youtalkingtome

The reveal that he had to move back in with his mother was SO pitch-perfect, I want Tony Gilroy to be given a trilogy of Star Wars movies (Episodes 10-12) immediately and with no studio interference, please,

Kara

The writers consider 7 standalone. They wrote the arcs as blocks, 7 had its own writer. The order is what Yannick said. From someone else: "Tony Gilroy (Episodes 1,2, 3,11,12), Dan Gilroy (Episodes 4, 5, 6), Stephen Schiff (Episode 7), Beau Willimon (Episodes 8, 9, 10)"

Jennifer H

Ebon Moss-Bachrach was filming Andor when he received the scripts for the first 2 episodes of The Bear & auditioned (from London) for the role of Richie over Skype.

Jennifer H

The episode,"Gary", was written by Ebon & Jon Bernthal. I know it's been marketed as a standalone episode but (without revealing anything about the episode) I feel like it sets up the coming season, which will consist of 8 episodes to be released on June 25.

Michael Bennett

So much happens by dumb luck in this show, consequences that couldn't have been predicted, events just coming together by accident. Cassian gets robbed by private security, kills two of them. Timm snitches on Cassian and thinks he's just going to be arrested, but Syril sends a whole platoon, terrorizes the town, a bunch of people die, and the entire security force is dismissed, and now Ferrix is under direct Imperial rule because a drunk mall cop didn't like the way a guy was looking at him across the bar. And we're only 4 episodes in. :) The same thing is playing out behind the scenes. A ship crashes, an orphan is exploring the wreckage, some people steal a Starpath unit and grab the kid... years later, Luthen tries to buy it, it's recovered by the Empire, and Dedra opens an investigation. The first couple of episodes were a bit of a slow burn, but it's excellent storytelling. The Senator who came to the antique shop is Mon Mothma. You'd know her from her EP6 briefing on the second Death Star: "Many Bothans died to bring us this information". Her character was played by Genevieve O'Reilly as far back as 2005 in EP3. She had about 2 lines there, basically all she had to do was look like Mon Mothma -- but they kept her on for Rogue One and this show, and she turned out to be an incredible casting for the part.

Carl Wilson

One of the reasons I'd never be a great tv/movie reactor is that I am no good at recognizing actors from project to project unless they're very obvious. Maybe it's partly that I don't rewatch a lot, but maybe it's also just being better or worse at facial recognition. That you caught the actor who played The Waif was pretty impressive to me. I knew Anton Lesser's face but not where from, and then the same with Ebon Mass Bacharach: I haven't seen The Bear, so that's probably why, but he has a major role in the later seasons of Girls - a series I watched intensely, and would love you guys to do I don't imagine you would - and still all I could think is, "wait, who's that guy again?"

Anndra

The scenes on Aldhani were filmed in parts of Scotland which were historically cleared of the native Gaels to make way for sheep, hunting estates and military garrisons and the deserted village they show is a real cleared village (that's had some wooden bits stuck in for extra set dressing). Lot of drawing from the real history of the place to reinforce the story in the show.

Joshua Taylor

I don’t know if you guys registered it because you were discussingCyril’s situation but Luthen’s assistant Kleya refers to the senator as Mon Mothma. She is played by the same actress Genevieve O’Reilly in Rogue One and a different actress Caroline Blakiston in Return of the Jedi. Many Bothans died to bring you this information.

Michael Bennett

One of my favorite films! You could see one of the ISB guys saying "We are being buried beneath the avalanche of your inadequacies!"

Michael Bennett

In one of the interviews I've seen with the creators, they said that everything the Empire does to a group of people in this show is based on something that actually happened historically. It's not all from the same culture or time, but they pull from lots of real accounts.

Roland

Exactly!

Youtalkingtome

Ah, thank you! He’s such a wonderful actor. It’s great to see him here.
