Loved seeing Mon Mothma again, and I can't wait to see how she gets further explored in this show, but this arc already has me so interested! Watching Andor be forced into this little Rebellion mission with such high stakes could either go really well, or really badly!!

Oh yeah the show has quite expanded now with these new characters & story threads we've been introduced to and yeah sometimes it can be tricky to keep up with every single one that's going on since the show does often times jump around between them all each episode but they're all so intriguing and neat in their own different way. And You'll be so impressed to see just how linked they all are in the grand scheme of things and how some of them cross paths or come together occasionally, again I can't praise the writing of this show enough lol. We've made it to Aldhani! An Arc that's definitely a Personal Favourite of many Fans because everyone loves a good Heist with a good cast of characters and getting to know them beforehand & just the whole preparation that goes into it, You can really just feel the Stakes behind it. It's gonna be quite fun seeing Andor have to try & be a team player and work with these people he's never met before and how he'll handle himself and fit in. Also the name "Clem" Andor gave himself was the name Maavra called her Partner she was with in the Flashback last episode that's a neat little connection, could he have been a father figure to Andor who isn't around anymore? that seems to line up since Luthen last episode did say "Isn't that where they hung your father?" when talking about being Hung on Rix Road if caught by the security force on Ferrix. I quite like Vel she's probably my favourite of the group with how we're seeing the pressures of being a Leader for a small group of "rebels" and how she has to try keep everyone together because of this last minute addition and the major distrust that comes with it on top of the fact that she can't even tell the rest the truth behind it and added with the fact that Luthen even gave her a lecture beforehand "You Wanted To Lead Right?! This is what it comes to! This has to be a win!" She's under a lot of pressure right now. Speaking of Luthen Oh heck yeah that scene of him just practicing his eccentric "Antique Collector/distributor" Persona on his ship is brilliant!! 😍 Man sometimes I just need a Reminder of how brilliant Master Skarsgård is and they really found a probably challenging but perfect role for him that he nails! But yeah just from seeing him have his own "establishment" in Coruscant where he interacts with someone like Mon Mothma in that rich Environment but also having a lot of influence over Vel and her dirty band of Rebels definitely makes him feel like such an important & influential character. If I had to try make a theory I'd say his Antique shop is probably a "front" for funding rebellious activities and other stuff like getting Andor on board. Plus the argument he had with Mon Mothma was interesting that she wasn't able to pull funds out of her bank anymore and he's still waiting on her to deliver, Maybe we could assume she's a "private donator" of some sort to him. But either way I love his Antique shop as well mainly because a lot of his "Antiques" are Easter Eggs and you can probably recognize a few if you have a scan of some of them. Of course they don't really have any plot relevance or mean anything because there's a couple things there that'll make you think "How the heck does he have that?!?!" it's all just a fun thing for fans to recognize & point out lol. And yeah the "Sky Kyber" he gave Andor as a down-payment was cool looking and it's pretty neat to finally hear a reference to the Rakatan Wars in current canon, Basically their race and unearthing the mysteries of it was a big part of Darth Revan's "Knights Of The Old Republic" Game. Their race ruled the galaxy with their "infinite Empire" for about 10,000 years then ultimately ended up destroying themselves in the end. This all happened roughly 35,000 years ago which was before the Republic was even established. So that Piece Luthen had was pretty old & valuable indeed and probably means a lot to him if it represents an attempted uprising against them, kinda like how they're uprising against the current Empire. Then we're also reintroduced to Mon Mothma in this show which is awesome ✨ and just seeing her day to day life as an Imperial Senator, and that her Husband Perrin is clearly an Empire Supporter, either that or he just doesn't see it as a bad thing I mean why would he?? His Wife is a Senator so of course they reap all the benefits of it, who would want to give up that life even if a few outer rim systems suffer 🤣 Their relationship & her position is also quite interesting because Mon isn't exactly pretending to be a "supporter" she's still very much one of the senators in opposition to the Empire like how we saw Bail & Chuchi still oppose them in Bad Batch in the senate and that's not a secret to people so she kinda has to put up with her Husband who is "friends" with quite a few of her political enemies/opponents. What a Sweet Marriage hahaha, makes you wonder why they're still married in the first place 😂 But yeah obviously from her interaction with Luthen we can see at this point in time she is now secretly trying to help Luthen fund his "rebellious activities" but now it's just getting more difficult to do it discreetly with the Empire secretly keeping closer eyes on her as she fears & probably some other senators in opposition too, so definitely seems like she's in a very tricky position at the minute with trying to still be a senator while involved with this "underground" aspect. Then we Also see the ISB properly and introduced to probably a top contender for my Personal Favourite Character in the show Dedra Meero I think you'll also quite like watching her character in this show as well, already we can see she's pretty suspicious on connecting dots to all these "thefts" & "Activities" that are going on in her sector and then gets up in her colleagues noses when activities linked to her sector spread to others but is held back by the way they run things as we saw, and because she's still fairly new and from "enforcement" it makes sense that she doesn't quite adhere to the way everyone else runs things there, they hired her hoping she'd be more "tucked away" but she's in fact the opposite lol. Yes Kallus was part of the ISB but I think he's more of a Field Agent than a Supervisor like we're seeing here so I idk if he would be someone that would attend these meetings since these seem to be the overseers of Imperial Sectors in the galaxy. But I think the Person you were thinking of when you tried to remember who Kallus was Mentored by was ISB Colonel Yularen, he's someone I definitely could see being present at that table he even wears the same white uniform from what we saw in Rebels. Then Lastly Poor Syril not too much this episode but still quite a sight lol 😂 it really feels like he's hit rock bottom with how he's had to come home to live with his Mother which he clearly isn't happy about. That Slap she gave him was priceless though 🤣🤣 Poor guy haha Anyways be interesting to see the Next Episode in just if Andor can fit himself more into the team & win a bit of trust, or if he'll just isolate himself from them, but I'm sure either option will be entertaining to see 😂😁

Nice remark to KOTOR! And the armor is chef’s kiss!

Ben pay attention to the gallery behind the girl and the driver is the three stones Ezra manipulated to get to the world between worlds! Behind Luthen after they move are a pair of hollo-crons a smith one and a Jedi! The three blocks behind Luthen when you say she is getting paranoid that is a bull whip in carbonite and the three amber yellow rocks are from Indiana Jones and the temple of doom! Also some mandalorian armor and a Kalikori is there too, Looks like Heras??? There is a Jedi temple guard mask and Queen Amidala headdress is there too!

I definitely have to go and watch this scene again as this makes Luthen feel even more powerful, the man’s even broken through reality to go and grab Indian Jones stuff! 😂 but all these easter eggs are so cool and makes his gallery feel so amazing and detailed, where basically everything in there comes from something recognisable.
