The Solitary Clone

This episode was absolute gold! Finally we begin to see the potential of this show! The first two episodes were fine but nothing special! This.. this was special!

We dive deep into the world, after the empire was formed and everything is a lot more grey than we are used to! Nothing is as easy as it seems with both sides believing they are doing the right thing! I am glad Crosshair is back since he is one of the most interessting characters in the show! He steals every scene! Glad to see another familiar face and how he was used in this episode!

This got emotional as we are reminded what It means to be a clone!

How much can you live with?

Excited for how things pan out in the future.

This episode deals with some important dilemmas that every single clone must deal with inside their head in one way or another, inhibitor chip or not.

The story itself is not complex but important as it shows the empire still struggle somewhat to get all the systems under control.

And the way it shows the different moral dilemmas and points of view is just brilliant. As with the first episodes of this season, the main characters dont have as much plot armor and the music is really good!

This made you remember back in CW when they showed some new sides of the seperatists and you realised they were actually the good guys, alas decieved by dooku.

I have very high hopes for the direction of this show!

That was pure gold episode - the Star Wars as what it should always be. The episode with just right balance between action and emotions, but also episode moving forward main story and the characters development. I'm not surprised at all that episode without squawking Omega is the highest rated and the best of them all. If I be given to watch just one episode like this in every upcoming series of the show, I will manage to cope all the rest of them too ;)

Deep inside I want to believe, that episodes like this are in fact secret messages from Dave Filoni telling us that we have to be patient, and one day Star Wars will Return and it's just a matter of time.

This is kind of peak Star Wars for me personally. Peeling back the layers and really showing us what it means to have lived in the early days of the Empire and what that means specifically for the clones and the old separatists. This episode really doesn't hold any punches when it comes to showing the audience exactly the kind of treatment the dying Republic was given. I got an overwhelming amount of anxiety and empty stomach feelings while watching this. Truly a masterpiece and it didn't even follow the main cast. Showing the exact mentality of the Empire compared to both the Republic and the separatists is harrowing. You know things are truly fallen to hell when Dooku was right.

This new episode (besides the first episode of season 1, and even then this holds it own) might be the best episode of the show. The character work done here for our two lead characters is done so well. I especially love how they handle a specific fan favorite character and his journey throughout this episode. The Empire is once again brutal in its tactics and it's a nice throughline to see the start of what becomes a truly corrupt state in Andor.

This episode is what drew me to the concept of this show. Clones trying to figure out their place in this Galaxy and that's exactly what I got here. If the team can keep this style up, this season will be a significant step up from season 1.

Also, I don't know what Kevin Kiner was on but it must have been the same thing as when he scored the season finale of the Clone Wars. The music in the episode, particularly the end of it, was so haunting and really drove home the message of the episode. Great stuff. One might even say Peak.
