Who Are You?

The tension alone gives this episode a 10/10. But it's not just that. It's legitimately a perfect episode of television. The writing, the emotion, technical aspects such as visuals and sound, everything is perfect. Honestly rivals "One Way Out" in terms of quality. The build up to the main event has been spectacular. This season might end up being the best series of television of the year, it is that good. The set up was great, and the pay off was even better. It felt so raw throughout the entire episode, one of, if not the most brutal episodes of the show so far. This show has proven once again that it is the best thing Star wars has ever produced. Easy 10/10.

No words to describe the feeling of watching this episode, but this is peak everything, while writing this I am still processing everything that I witnessed, what a show, what a feeling, simply marvelous.

The brilliance of this resides on the fact that I can't wait to finish this show and rewatch Rogue One and episodes IV through VI, the absolute disgust that the empire representa and ironically the parallels that we actually see in your daily news is just baffling, absolutely frightening yet inspiring.

Tony Gilroy you absolute genius this show is brilliance, it might not feel formulaic but in its very core THIS IS STAR WARS.

The 3 episode stretch that dropped today might be some of the best material of Star Wars not only in decades, but the argument could be made for all time. Yes, this is that good. 1x10 was terrific as well as the S1 finale, but this is the clear peak of the series so far, and has made the build up until this point worth every second. Funny enough with Revenge of the Sith returning to theaters, Andor simultaneously airing as well puts a huge spotlight on this season that's very much deserving. After season 1 it was no secret this story had something special to it, but these episodes solidified it as one of the best experiences in modern television. Severance, Invincible & The Last of Us have shown some all time great tv already but this might just top all of them, and this year alone might just beat the stacked 2022 for best year of tv this decade. I think if it can stay more consistent then clone wars & mandalorian (which I think is likely) this'll be by far the best piece of Star Wars media in tv, and by the time next week comes and it's all said and done it'll have an argument for the best fictional Star Wars story from beginning to end.

One of the best episodes of television I have personally ever seen. The stakes, the tension, the emotion this whole episode were unlike anything I've seen before in Star Wars media. Hours and hours have gone in to building various character arcs for this moment, and safe to say it did not disappoint. You feel the weight of every decision made and so do the characters. I for one am glad to have been here since day one to see this marvel of show become what it is now! 10/10 for me, and I fear Star Wars may never see anything like this again. This is Star Wars at its best, at its peak, and like never before.

Genuinely one of the greatest episodes of television to ever exist hands down period. You know exactly what is going to happen, every character knows what's going to happen, and yet there is truly nothing anyone can do to stop it. This episode truly embodies the evil of imperialism and totalitarianism. There is no one that can save you, no one trying to keep you safe, and there is nothing you are anyone can do. By the end of the episode, everyone is left devastated. I really appreciated how they choose to portray Dedra specifically, some point during the middle she says "this is happening with or without us" and I think that perfectly represents the true power of the empire. Everyone is a cog in the great machine, and no one can stop it. And Dedra isn't cold or heartless which is probably the most sadistic part of the whole thing. She is essentially forced to commit genocide and by the end of the episode she struggles not to breakdown, even in private she can't help but try to hold her self together because that is what fascism does. It forces you to be complicit, it forces you to strip yourself of your humanity. You can't feel guilt or pain. Horrifying stuff.
