This episode was so good, but also filled me with fear! It felt like all the tension within the group exploded here rather than on the mission; while this is a good thing, this means that something else has to go wrong during the mission and for the life of me, I don't know what it could be 😨

Andor awkwardly flirting with Cinta: "It's good, you're a healer 😏" Cinta: 🤨 Vel: "Hey! 😠 you can Dress your own wound from now on." Haha someone's jealous 😂 I think we can all probably guess who Cinta is "Sharing a Blanket" with now. I know it's dark but your delayed "Oh.." reaction to Skeen's "He went out on a boat with stones in his pockets" comment was kinda funny 😅 But yeah that was a heavy line 😬 Man everyone's Family in this episode seems lovely 🤣 Syril & his overbearing Mummy and then Mon Mothma & her unsupportive Husband & Daughter. It's quite interesting to see though because this is one of those "too grounded/not star wars" criticisms that the show sometimes gets where you're just seeing typical family life/drama at the dinner table that you could see in anything. I however love it though 😁😂 Really like this episode in just getting to know the little group more and just more on the whole preparation on actually infiltrating & escaping the Garrison from even practicing marching while also looking & feeling like a soldier that belongs there. I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw Nemik trying to march during practice though 😅 I felt bad for laughing but the poor guy looked so small & not as tough compared to them 😂 but hopefully when they actually walk in for real next episode he blends in more & doesn't stick out. But the way they were balancing tension & bonding was crazy It's like one minute Andor was bonding with Skeen about his Prison tattoos but he still just reaffirms that he's suspicious of him when the Conversation is over. But also pointing out useful insights to them like the way they're marching and how to get the Ship out properly, he definitely seemed to be proving his worth to the group for sure but that scene at the end was tense though when Andor just straight up told them he was doing this for the money, we were getting to know this group's reasons for being here this episode and so saying that really puts their faith in him to the test lol, but atleast now that it's outta the way that leaves us with one less major thing to worry about, Motivations seem to be sorted so now they just have to rely on each other's competence and capabilities when it actually comes to the mission. Syril's whole dynamic with his mother is quite something to watch though, "You're slouching! You may as well wear something that says I promise to disappoint you ☺️" she's so judgemental 🤣🤣 I kid you not I legit once had a friend who's own mother was similar so I know the feeling and this brought it all back where while watching it felt like Syril was my friend 🤣🤣🤣 But just from seeing her you can tell where Syril got it all from. He probably got out of that house the second he was of age & could afford it and never looked back and so having no choice but to move back with her is quite humiliating & agonizing for him for sure. But Hey at least she's kind enough to put food on his plate & help him get a new job so she's not all bad especially since Syril didn't seem like he knew what his next step was gonna be yet anyway so I think he needed that little push & family favour from her in a way. Luthen's scene at the end was pretty interesting though, it's clear he's worried about it going wrong & being exposed especially since his Assistant Kleya said "Vel's the only one who traces back to you" but Luthen points out Andor to her, clearly he really wants this mission to work so took a gamble at getting an extra person on board last minute and so like us we're all still 50/50 on whether or not Andor will come through or not and whether he'll spill any more beans 😬 I guess it's all gonna come down to how next episode goes when hopefully the actual Heist takes place which should be thrilling to see! 😁

Something that I like about this show, and it is beautifully depicted, is how we can see the regular lifestyle of normal people in the Star Wars universe. We got to see a little bit in Rebels, but not as deeply and emotionally as Andor, to a point where we can identify with them. For example, we got to see Mon Monthma's family so we can understand better how alone she is in her work at the senate and even in her household so we can feel empathy for her. Then Syril and his mom. Now we know why Syril is so perfectionist (and obsessed) at his job.. In some way, he is looking for validation, not to disappoint his superiors at Morlana, and not to disappoint his mom. He did, and that is why he was so destroyed at the end of episode 3, and we saw him in this episode looking sadly at the window. Continuing with daily lives, now we have Dedra Meero, the dedicated Imperial officer from the ISB. We get to see her in her regular office job, and it seems she is the only one who understands how the rebels are playing their cards, and no one is listening to her. Last but not least, we meet this group of rebels, especially Nemik, who is one of a kind, and I could listen to him all day about his ideology, and I would like to read the manifesto he is writing. I see you have many questions about Mon Monthma and Luthen's role, which is great. All I can say is: All will be answered in due time.

I’m gonna sound so stupid but I only realised this in the next episode 🤣 🤣 Looking back it’s so obvious and so funny how Andor tries to put the moves on Cintra. That whole moment caught me off guard, it’s such a sad thing and all I was expecting was an apology from Skeen, not a deeply depressing backstory 😂 I’m so surprised that this would be considered not ‘Star Wars’, a huge theme of the entire franchise is family so I think it’s quite nice that we’re getting these different perspectives that we haven’t really seen before, an overbearing Mother, and unsupportive Husband and Daughter, I think it’s just interesting to see times when Family are sometimes the enemies to these characters when most of the time we see it in a positive light. I really enjoyed this episode with how it spends the majority of the time on the bonds between the group and preparations for the mission, it makes this feel incredible real by giving this so much built up with meticulous detail in the training and practice. Nemik is so tiny and I love how hard he’s trying with how much he believes in the cause so hopefully he’ll be able to pull it off in the next episode and can look intimidating 😂 This episode truly felt like a rollercoaster with how it switched between growing bonds with Andor to erupting the friction between them, it really adds to the stress of the mission through the instability of everything but now that it seems most of the tensions is out of the way, I kind of feel even more stress, something just has to go wrong during the mission and all the obvious stuff was dealt with now so that means something completely new has to come between them in the next one. This dynamic is just brilliant, it explains so much about Syril but also feels strangely relatable, thankfully my own Mum was never like this but those parts about standing up straight and thinking about how you present yourself to the world kind hits. I feel bad for anyone who actually has to deal with this though as that’d be such a nightmare. It's so clear how Syril’s story started now and this is just another thing that’s making his life miserable that he’ll blame Andor for, and it’s kind of sad as his Mum does seem rather nice, overbearing sure but it’s clear she loves her son a lot and is able to provide a lot for him, wish he could appreciate that a bit more. Love seeing Luthen’s stress, it adds a whole other layer to the stakes and how confident I can feel in it when we see the main orchestrater so concerned when he isn’t even on the ground with them. It now all rests on whether or not Andor will stick this out and the mission can be a success but I know that not matter what happens, the next episode is about to be insane when all the stuff we’ve seen being built finally collides!

Absolutely agree!! It’s been one of my favourite parts so far where not everything it as high stakes mission all the time but actually some down to earth and grounded scenes dealing with the personal conflicts between people, as regular people. Mon Mothma’s is especially brilliant as we get to see Andor in the action with his conflict preparing for his mission, while Mon is doing a more political mission which requires less action but to build the tension around it, we get to know how she’s surrounded by nothing but enemies. Seeing Syril’s Mum explains so much!! This is both the reason why he feels so defeated and another thing that will continue to make him miserable. She’s incredibly overbearing which has caused Syril to be a perfectionist, not to please her but simply because that’s how he’s been raised. Dedra scares me to an absurd extent; she’s the perfect one to shine a light on the Rebellion and its organised efforts to the Empire. She’s seeing exactly what the other agents aren’t; she’s found the symptoms and now has to find the disease. I’m already really enjoying this group and how much we’re getting to learn about them, Nemik is definitely a stand out with his ideology since most of the time with the Rebellion we mainly just see that they’re fighting to physically destroy the Empire, now we have a character that understands what needs to be preserved and protected through this fight so that it can be brought fully back after what the Empire has done. Luthen and Mon have me questioning so much and I can’t wait to find out more about their roles in this, they feel like the perfect pair to begin the Rebellion yet we’ve never heard of Luthen before this and we’ve never really heard of Mon’s family before, so much is left to be done with them and I can’t wait to learn it all!!
