I had just decided to go to sleep... Well, tomorrow is my day off, a couple hours less of sleep never killed anyone

Myeh

this is the episode i've been most excited for you guys to see, extremely hyped

Davey

Did they miss the after credits? 😄

Clay F

Great episode. Emotional reaction. Love the Maarva speech. Like Cassian rescuing Bix. Cassian waiting for Luthen and then telling Luthen to kill him or that Luthen could take him = awesome scene. Looking forward to S2.

ABSOLUTE CINEMA

The fact that Lola was damn near boo boo crying less than 15 mins in tells you how epic the finale was as well as how epic the series as a whole impacted y'all. So glad you gave this show and in general Star Wars a chance ❤

Dont't watch Roque One before season 2 <3

If you watch the edited reaction, the part where they watch the scene isn't in it, but they briefly discuss it near the end, starting around 1:05:28. They figure out it's the death star, but don't really know what that means.

There are some cool parallels throughout the season. For example in the finale there are two recordings of people who died for the rebellion, Nemik and Maarva, being played to inspire others to continue the fight. In the previous episode there are two different calls delivering news of Maarva's passing, Syril excited and Cassian stunned. Earlier in the season we had Mon talking to Vel about how the Aldhani raid negatively affected her. Contrast to when Marvaa told Cassian about the raid and how inspiring it was. Neither Vel nor Cassian are able to acknowledge their role in making that happen. I'm sure there are plenty more examples but these ones stuck out to me. Another testament to the superb crafting of this show

Great reaction. This is the best of the Star Wars shows, and better than all the movies, in my opinion. No pure and virtuous heroes fighting unmasked evil, just characters fighting for what they believe in, flaws and all. This whole season was about Cassian's slow conversion from honorable but self serving petty thief into someone willing to fight for something larger than himself. All the people who influenced him like Nemik, Marva and Luthen and all that's happened to him, like Aldhani, his false imprisonment, Marva's death after she wanted to stay behind for the rebellion and Bix's imprisonment by the Empire all drove him on that path. This show has so many layers and is so well written and acted and is so relevant to our own times that it doesn't get old, even on multiple re-watches. Season 2 is a little like season 1 in that the first few episodes are a slow burn. Don't worry though, it's even better than season 1. The last 5 episodes are perhaps the best 5 episodes in a row of any show ever made. You don't have to watch Rogue One before watching season 2. It's completely up to you. No spoilers, but I would definitely recommend rewatching Andor after Rogue One however. The impact of several scenes will only hit harder, and the show will become even more understandable and have more meaning after Rogue One.

(LOL at 01:30 - Yes, that's just the Star Wars branding. It plays in front of the other shows in the franchise too, just like Marvel and DC have a similar intro sequence for all their properties. Late capitalism is increasingly more about spectacle than actual substance. Andor is a fortunate exception to the rule.) 01:59 Happy to see in your full reaction here that the different title screen music immediately grabbed your attention. It was probably played by the very same actors who were in the funeral marching band. The instruments used were obviously Earth-based instruments with "alien" decorations on them just to "canonically" mark them as otherworldly, and which might seem a bit "sloppy" or "lazy" for a show that usually puts so much attention to detail, but there was actually a practical reason for this. Tony Gilroy required that all the actors learn the instruments and play them live on set. He wanted fully diegetic music for the scene, and for the marching band to sound non-professional. The slightly out-of-tune quality, like a high-school or amateur band, was absolutely intentional. These are hardworking Ferrix citizens, who mostly only play their instruments outside of their daily jobs. 10:01 I'm curious/confused - was Milena asking about Korv (the ISB spy Cinta eventually kills) and his "cover" as a paying customer at the cafe/bar Cinta works at? Or was she still wondering about Mon Mothma and the eventual money coming from Sculden and the arranged marriage? If the latter, I think Mon fears that her initial 400K withdrawal - which here in this episode she pins on her husband's gambling addiction - needs to be addressed more immediately. Meanwhile, she probably doesn't want to start using Sculden's connections until AFTER her daughter's engagement is fully agreed upon and finalized. All future "donations" to the rebellion will then be laundered through Sculden, as the husband's gambling habit would probably be less believable as a long-term cover story. Back to the symbolism of the funeral and its music - Gilroy and others are definitely basing it on funerals from resistance movements throughout history. You will find resonances with Black Panther funerals [not the Marvel character, but the radical leftist political party active in the late 1960s to -70s in the USA], Irish Republican Army ["Provo"] funerals during the "Troubles" in Northern Ireland, and even specific instances such as during the Portuguese MFA overthrow of the fascist Estado Novo dictatorship, where funeral songs were used as literal signals for resistance actions. And of course countless other examples. PS - Maybe you already know and are used to it, but don't bother trying to argue with Americans who disagree with you politically, and especially not on fully-public platforms like Youtube. I speak from experience as a leftist who was born and raised in the USA. We are quite simply the most politically and historically ignorant imperialist citizenry ever. EVER. Completely lacking in self-awareness. Unless you know the person in real life and preserving the relationship is important to you, it is generally pointless to try and debate with an American who disagrees with you politically. This includes both Murican liberals and conservatives.

Oh and if you want more musical analysis, there's a Youtube channel that analyzed each episode, plus deeper dives into the different themes for each character or group/culture and beyond. I don't always agree with him, and his Western classical music theory background is both asset and sometimes also a handicap of bias, but no other channel does what he does in such detail. At 29:39 Bix hearing that specific part of the melody is analyzed in his video on ep 12 https://youtube.com/watch?v=0ql3cpHeaUk , and the again in a recap of S1 prior to S2's release, but with new revelations from rewatch: https://youtube.com/watch?v=eM0AHTU5fJ8 (It might be even more emotionally striking to note that hearing the funeral music could possibly be the first time the news and certainty of Maarva's death is revealed to Bix.) The channel then becomes a bit too harsh (imho) on S2 even though he acknowledges the music director had to be unexpectedly replaced. But it's still very interesting for insights into how much effort was put into all aspects of the show, as a masterpiece of film art.

Youtube got me watching other reactions to 1x12 again and most of them quickly reminded me that there is a blatantly WRONG SUBTITLE soon after the start of Maarva's speech. The specific phrase was not included in your edited reaction, so I'm only commenting here on the full version. At 33:00 she says "Strange, I... feel as if I can see you." It's quite obvious that she is saying "YOU" [implied collective plural pronoun, equivalent to "you all" or "y'all" ], and yet the OFFICIAL Disney subtitles somehow WRONGLY render it "feel as if I can see it." Clearly, this was a computer-generated subtitle and was sadly overlooked in editing [assuming they even bothered hiring an editor or at least paying them a fair wage]. Just another example of a big corporation skimping out on paying actual human workers for their labor.

Only one side consistently threatens violence against those who disagree.

tai4ji2x

depends on who you think comprises the "sides" in this case...

Edward Olson

The preceding line ends with "...worthy of the stone." The following line is "I was six, I think, first time I touched a funerary stone." So talking about "seeing you" doesn't fit. Why would she go from talking about a stone, to talking about seeing the people, to talking about the stone? Do you have a copy of the official script, or are you assuming because her character appears to be looking down at them?

The scene is also introducing us to the Ferrix tradition of pre-recorded self-eulogies, or at least that is the custom bestowed upon prominent citizens. So the speaker knows they are recording for a posthumous audience, to be played at their funeral. Your interpretation isn't totally implausible, and so without additional corroborating evidence from official/insider sources, perhaps these subtitles are as "official" as we'll ever get. I happen to think it is more heartfelt, emotional and personable for her to be envisioning the community coming out to pay their respects, rather than imagining an inanimate object [Brasso using it to smash an imperial's head aside]. I would say to replay and listen as it is "clear" to me that she says "you", but I suspect this will probably just devolve into something like that stupid meme from a couple years back where people were hearing either "Yonni" vs "Laurel" or debating that "black vs white" dress color.
