I needed something to keep me up tonight and here it is!

Erin Mileur

Peter Cushing the actor who originally played Grand Moff Tarkin actually played the character in his slippers because he had such big feet and the shoes they provided didn’t fit. Also Carrie Fisher years later admitted that he was one of the kindest and sweetest person and that he always smelled of lavender.

From watching this and Andor I’m pretty sure that Ben Mendelsohn likes wearing a cape because he really knowns how to act wearing a cape and look cool.

I know he's a bad bad dude, but that Darth Vader scene is some of the best Star Wars that ever was and makes my inner Star Wars nerd so so happy when I see it.

When K2SO4* slaps Cassian, you see Cassian hold his hand to his face, ostensibly in pain or shock, but in reality because Alan Tudyk improvised the slap and quip, and Diego Luna was desperately trying to conceal his laughter at Tudyk's move. 🤣 * not exactly, but that's the formula for Potassium Permanganate, so that works. 🤩

I remember that I watched this movie. I remember that I liked this movie. I don't remember anything about this movie.

- So I actually think the Tarkin CGI was a good idea here. For me at least, it looks fine, not great, but not bad either, and primarily it helps create instant recognition/continuity into New Hope. Other SW stories not so directly successive, (like if for some reason he had been in Season of Andor even), sure, recast him. But when its both back to back movies and with almost no time in between them, I think it actually serves a purpose here and is better than rolling the dice on a recast being able to deliver the same presence. I think Star Wars fans (I'm a huge one) get too tied to the 'proper' watch order. I think Star Wars actually works with MANY different entry points, so it can be more accessible media. You could start with Andor. You could start with Mandalorian. You could start with the Prequels. You could start with Rebels. No, not anywhere works, but I think there are more entry points for new people to just take in pieces of it without all the 'homework' if people were more open about it. Any react channel starting star wars gets mobbed if they don't do in the exactly right order. I don't disagree about we need MORE of those entry points, more stand alone stories, new stories away from Skywalker Saga and the Palpatine Galactic Empire. But I think its already got a few if people would allow it.

I talked about some of the stuff from the 90s video games that got put into Andor, and that started with this film. The people who made these definitely played those games, given all the stuff in the Scarif battle. There's like one short line in Empire where Leia says "the ion cannon will fire to clear your path", and you can see it firing as they're escaping Hoth, and blue crackles on the ships that get disabled. The Lucasarts developers took that and put it into the X-Wing and Tie Fighter games as a way for the player to disable other ships. In the Scarif scene, there's an ion blaster on the U-Wing that "disables" one of the legs on the AT-AT, causing it to fall down, and then of course the X-Wings fire ion torpedoes (*after* taking out the shield generator tower, another detail from the games) and the admiral goes "that Star Destroyer's disabled!" And the Hammerhead Corvette that takes them both down along with the shield gate comes from Knights of the old Republic. There's probably a bunch more stuff that I can't name that's similarly sourced. They packed loads of fan service in without ruining it; if you don't know any of this, it's still a really cool battle! This movie made me so hyped for Star Wars. I was lukewarm (get it? meh) on TFA, loved this, liked TLJ, liked Solo... and then RoS ruined it again. I didn't really come back until I heard Andor was by Tony Gilroy, and it was 100% worth it. I hope Disney can figure out what to do with this franchise, because when it's good, it's really good.

As you say, Star Wars is a fairy tale. All the characters are larger-than-life. Andor and Rogue One are much more grounded stories with a focus on the small characters. The thing I love about Vader in this movie is that he feels like an intrusion of the mythic into these mundane lives and instead of diminishing him it just emphasises the contrast. Vader is awesome in the truest sense of the world and the hallway was the first time I ever actually felt it.

I read in her book that she couldn't help but mimic his accent and that's why she has an English accent in some scenes

I really think they should let it rest for a while. I know they're not but still

2026-11-04 08:00 I hate it when people tell I have to watch 600 hours of content to enjoy something. I liked the Mandalorian just fine and have never seen Clone Wars. I remember when it first was on TV. I didn't care for the animation style and seem to be for kids.

I didn't love the CGI Tarkin, but I did at least appreciate the direction for the reveal, you see the back of his head, then his reflection in the window, then he turns around. I think they could've just recast him, though, he's no more important a character than Mon Mothma, General Dodonna, etc. Recasting Leia would be a lot tougher, especially so soon after Carrie's death, so maybe CGI Tarkin was to help get the audience used to the idea before Leia's appearance right at the end. Using the original footage of the fighter squadrons from Episode IV during the battle was pretty cool, though.

I went to see it in theaters, all naive and happy. Even when they don't win, like in Empire Strikes Back, we don't get a huge loss or heartbreak during a Star Wars movie, or so I thought. I never imagined the rebels could actually win but still lose everyone. But I remember exactly when I knew they were all doomed: when K2 is killed. Killing the droid in SW is like killing the dog in any other movie: now anything can happen, it's open season. I was destroyed at the end, I couldn't bear to rewatch that movie until after Andor. And it's weird, because I think it's an exceptional movie in the SW universe, the only one that really feel like a "war" movie, and I wouldn't want it to end in any other way. It *couldn't* end any differently but at the same time... I so wish the Rogue One crew could have seen the results of what they all accomplished. They truly did it all on hope. 😢

I decided while watching the discussion of Alan Tudyk that I want to see a live action movie with him and Olivia Colman in the leads. Any genre will work.

I like to think that the Force kept everyone alive until they had done the job they needed to do, after which they were immediately allowed to die.

Erin Mileur

Just found this out but if you’ve ever wondered were the got the sound for the TIE fighters from Star Wars sound editor Ben Burtt reused and altered recordings of aggravated elephants from the movie Roots of Heaven (1958) also a 20th Century Fox release.

Scarif to me is like a data center in the Bahamas. If they just made that place a Sandal’s resort they could have had so much peace and harmony.

I do like this film overall, mainly because of that last act on Scarif which is a perfect bit of Star Wars war-movie action with emotional weight. The lead-up is quite messy and disjointed but has its high points, like the Iraq-esque urban guerrilla warfare in Jedda where it codes the Empire pretty heavily as the US forces. A pretty strong statement for a Disney movie in 2016, you know.

“Rebellions are built on hope” line hits harder now. Knowing the origins came from the bellhop on Gorhman. I think if the movie was made after Andor series, if it’s Vel with Andor, Jyn and K-2SO on Scarif that ending would hit even harder.
