Daughter of Ferrix

-B2-EMO is very much a sad old golden retriever who can talk to you and tell you how and why it is sad. -Dedra is a monster. But she is a competent monster... -Mon's daughter is like a lot of children of immigrants: They want to find themselves and become more zealous than their parents... -I love the Luthen escape scene. He left that Imperial standing there, wondering how his ship would be spending a lot of time in dry dock, and how he lost 4 ships and pilots and a boarding party, to the Star Wars equivalent of a suped up Toyota Corolla

Cassian had his stuff hidden in a hotel room on Niamos. He presumably broke into the room to get it but there were guests sleeping.

This episode probably gets a bit overshadowed since it’s between two top tier episodes but it has some excellent acting and character interactions. I found the interaction between Kleya and Vel intriguing. They were like two children arguing over who was the favoured child.

I don’t see a lot of people discuss Mon’s daughter’s embracing of conservative fundamentalist values from her people’s past, but it really rang true to me. She has parents who rejected a lot of that and she rebels against that by embracing it.

Thank God for shitty housekeeping!

Someone once said that as cruel and unfeeling as the Empire is, nothing in this universe is as evil as the fact that the sentient folk decided to give their machines true feelings and emotions... That said, more props to Tony Gilroy that by far the two best droids in the Star Wars universe are found in Andor and in Rogue One.

Interesting, the look on Vel's face when she realized that Mon selling her daughter into an arranged marriage is partially a result of her own success in the Aldhani Heist...

In his autobiography 'Immediate Action', Andy McNab of Bravo Two Zero fame (SAS Regiment action in the Gulf War, Sean Bean played him in the TV mini-series) describes his time undercover assigned to the elite Det 14 covert surveillance unit in Northern Ireland, operating against the IRA (and others). The unit would take a beat-up van or car and totally amp it up on the inside (souped-up engine, powerful brakes, hidden weapons compartments, brake lights that could be operated independently of the brakes, stuff like that). Outwardly the vehicle would still look like just another local shitbox, blending in perfectly, but significantly prepped in case things went kinetic. Just like Luthen's Fondor Haulcraft.

Yeah the treatment of sentient droids in the Star Wars universe has caused a lot of handwringing over the years, bringing comparisons to slavery within a fun kids' action romp. Not an easy discussion! The debate is paid a nod in the Solo movie via the droid character L3-37 played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (but the movie was forgettable...so I forget how that went).

I feel the need to comment here that although we hear about cases like this because of young people who get involved with Islamist groups, etc, the data is clear that the vast majority of children of immigrants assimilate and are *much less wedded to traditional values than their parents. Just as it always has been.

It's treated as a joke in Solo, very "haha the droid is a woke feminist anti-racist, isn't that funny and stupid". Not good lol

I mean, nothing could top the peak of last week's episode, but this is still a very good part of the rollercoaster, where they allow us to catch our breath a little bit, but still deliver great bits like the "Toyota Corolla" (thank you to commenter Paul, I'm so gonna call it that now) battle, the horror of the political arranged marriage (the fate of so many women is more hidden than a battle, but just as terrible) and the hilarious faulty call with prissy little favourite Cyril! Now on to the finale!!

"Everyone has their own rebellion"

Unfortunately it's an unsolvable problem that sort of breaks the setting, so you just have to ignore it. It's an original sin from A New Hope. If droids are sentient and can't choose to leave, it means every "hero" character you love who keeps droids is participating in something nasty. There's no way to even solve it without basically saying Luke et al were all keeping sentient beings as forced labor lol.

Andor is greatly inspired by real world history (and, sadly, current events). Melshi's suggestion that him and Andor might be the only ones left and to double their chances is a reference to two real world holocaust survivors who escaped Auschwitz in 1942. Concerned they might be the only two to make it and worried if they got stopped by patrols they'd both be caught and killed, they decided to split up, doubling their chances to make it to the Jewish Council and report their witness accounts. They made it and their full report ended up being a key piece of evidence. (Vrba-Wetzler Report) Imagine how terrifying it must be to escape that, and then split up with your only friend/ally, knowing there's a high likelihood you'll get stopped eventually. With Andor Tony Gilroy and the rest of the team have put the "Wars" back into Star Wars. I hope we get more Star Wars media with this tone and quality, though I worry it's more the end of of something than the beginning of something.

I'd never seen a spaceship with Lightsabres before. That was awesome.

Michael Bennett

I don't have "lately" -- I have always. Freaking epic. And yeah, even the "glue" episodes are really compelling. Imagine if some other shows were as good at just moving characters around and setting up the next big event.

Zach Hershman

A vast majority of the items in Luthen's shop are Easter eggs. Not just Star Wars related either. There are two different items that are Easter eggs for Indiana Jones. Tony Gilroy said he allowed the prop department to have fun and come up with anything they wanted (as long as they looked like something that would fit in Star Wars).

Youtalkingtome

I'm not even joking, Star Wars Toyota Corolla is what was going through my head as well. That's so funny

Youtalkingtome

I'm so glad we're shouting out K2. He was my favorite part of Rogue One

Youtalkingtome

That's so awesome. I wanna read that. Plus who wouldn't wanna be played by Sean Bean?

Youtalkingtome

That's a sad sentiment but I have hope that more talented filmmakers will handle this property with respect and deliver something great

Youtalkingtome

Whaaat? I gotta see what Indy easter eggs we're workin with

McNab's first book is Bravo Two Zero, made into a mini-series / TV movie. Immediate Action came afterwards. SAS missions are like Fight Club of course, and it might be surprising that Bravo Two Zero was published at all, at least not for another twenty years after the war. However McNab's book wasn't the first reporting of the mission. In fact the Bravo Two Zero mission was (controversially) first reported in Sir Peter de la Billiere's autobiography Storm Command, detailing his command of British troops in the Gulf War. A lower-ranking soldier could have been court-martialled for revealing that kind of information, but apparently there are different rules for the bosses! That said, de la Billiere's resume is seriously impressive, including leading the SAS, and turning a blind eye was probably the right thing to do in this case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_de_la_Billi%C3%A8re
