Mine too. I’m very excited for the rest of this season. It’s just so good.

Roland

The merest hint of (light-side) Force Use was great.

GDF

I like the little hint of light side force. Like the Force knows it's almost time. Please upload your reaction to Rogue One :) (I think you may have already said you'll react to that after the last episode of this but just in case, we do want to see your re-reaction to it and hear your new thoughts about it.)

Neill Shaughness

I love that the ISB and Luthen essentially have the same plan. To let the confrontation happen and let public opinion demonize the other side

Luke and Leia were just born at the end of Episode III. They were 19 in Episode IV: A New Hope. Rogue One showed that they were working on building the Death Star for well over a decade, as that’s what Jyn’s father was kidnapped to build when she was a young child and it wasn’t finished until the end of Rogue One. Also, in Star Wars, if you’re ever wondering when things are, the Battle at the end of A New Hope is their “birth of Jesus” as far as calendar-defining moments go. There’s BC/AD in our world and there’s BBY/ABY in Star Wars. Andor is essentially a count down as we see a snippet from each year leading up to the Battle of Yavin (when the Death Star is destroyed in A New Hope). Right now we’re in the year BBY 2. When we started the series we were in the year BBY 5. Rogue One takes place at almost the exact end of BBY 1, just days before the event that flips things to ABY 1.

2026-09-15 02:00 You can just feel the consequence building here. Syril clearly has no clue what the endgame is and Dedra is doing everything she can to keep him in line (and clueless). How will he react when he finds that he's spent the past year befriending people that his paramour is setting up to be cannon-fodder? Or if he finds that the man who completely changed the course of his life is here to assassinate her? Trivia: Faye Marsey (Kel), who many here recognized as The Waif from season 5 of Game of Thrones, has turned up again as a regular in the new season of Ted Lasso...

the next 2 are probably the best star wars live action since Empire was in the theater.

Neill Shaughness

Dedra is definitely moving up there in the Empire but she's still aways away from #4. If anything Partagaz the director of ISB might be #4 under Krennic w Vader and Tarkin in a #2 competition

Joshua Taylor

Wouldn’t Partagaz be just under Wulf Yularen? We saw Yularen briefly in season 1 of Andor, as a Republic Naval officer in Clone Wars and on the Death Star in Ep IV.

Neill Shaughness

I figure Wulf is about on the same level as Krennic

Michael Bennett

Yeah, this story isn't about the Jedi, but it is still Star Wars. This was a very nice dash of the Force, they were just able to sense that Cassian has a higher purpose and try to steer him right without making him or Bix or any other main character a Force-sensitive.

Michael Bennett

"I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them."

Michael Bennett

Yavin has sure come a long way in 2 years! That guy upset with Cassian for leaving was General Draven from Rogue One. "They don't even bother to lie badly anymore. I suppose that's the final humiliation." ...that one's very difficult to sit with. The credits music at the end of the next episode is particularly good. Give it a listen.

The first Death Star indeed started construction during Revenge of the Sith and it took 19 years to construct. In both Rogue One and Andor, they refer to delays that kept pushing out completion.

Lola Lirola

Dang, I'm excited now!! I hadn't seen this season when it aired, only the first one, and I've been struggling with the time jumps being too abridged, you know? But this is getting juicy, and now you say this, I can't wait!

Lola Lirola

Ooooh, *that's* why her face looked familiar!! It's been bugging me since season 1! 😅

D Gyre

Okay I know this is long but I might be able to help address some questions at the end there. No spoilers here. As others have said, 19 year gap between the two, and its not just biding their time to make the death star, its consolidating authority across the board. The death start is part of it, but remember you're going from a democratic republic with no military to a galactic empire with a strong enough military to enforce rule (through fear) over hundreds of star systems. They had to be careful in the beginning or they would have been overthrown right away. This isn't really a 'retcon' of the death start timeline, as its still just becoming operational in New Hope. It's meant to imply it took them that long to actually build it. Which, it is the size of a moon so the construction alone is a monumental task, but also getting the main weapon to work (and the resources needed for it, like whats on Ghorman). It's fleshing it all out in a way that explains the timeline, but not really retconning anything. We know the first real public "demonstration" of the death star's power is Alderaan in New Hope, they make that clear, it's also why he sticks with Alderaan and not their rebel base. The Empire's power is never as complete as it seems, up until the finish the death star and the events you're seeing now through New Hope, the emperor **still needed the legitimacy of the senate.** The "Empire" as we think of it (the level of power & control) is between 10-15 years old at this point. Think of the Republic Senate as more like the European Union prior to the empire. Then consider the transition from the Republic to the Empire. - It had no significant military force prior to the clones, and Tarkin/Emperor don't want to keep using clones so they transition to a non-clone military. - While the clone wars helped develop and officer/support core, it still is going to take time to build up a proper imperial navy/army/etc, especially when you're phasing out the clones and replacing them. - The ISB is first formed about 15 years prior to the events of Andor season 1. Imagine how they different they would have been in those first five years compared to how they see now. - There are hundreds of star systems in the Senate. By Revenge of the Sith they might be willing to go along with shifting from republic to empire, but largely because they still have a voice in the senate. It takes a little time to both co-opt enough elite systems while also building up a physical force for the ones you can't to be able to exert control. You need the smoke screen of "well, okay he's emperor now but still he has to listen to us in the senate and the Jedi are gone so I guess we go along with it because day to day life isn't that much different." If they had gone full empire out of the gate, a lot of systems would have started rebelling right away, before they have a full institutionalized ISB, before the Navy is at fully strength, before they have coopted some of the more influential systems, etc etc.

D Gyre

Yeah Dedra is not the top echelon of the empire. We only see parts of the Imperial bureaucracy They do establish that Tarkin is basically at the top of the military, with Vador as the Emperor's strongman enforcing his will under Tarkin's leadership. There are likely a number of people at Wulf Yularen's level, and beneath that people like Krennic and Partagaz. (Grand Admiral Thrawn!!) Then Dedra, even while running the solution on Ghorman for Krennic, is still subordinate to Partagaz. So at most Dedra is going to be the 4th LEVEL of status under the Emperor, but nowhere near 4th in line. there will be hundreds of higher ranking officials above her at least

Mark Walston

I second Michael Bennet's comment about the music in the next episode. You don't want to skip the end music.
