Daughter of Ferrix

Andor got the brunt of the sword and it is really disheartening. Obi-Wan Kenobi and BOBF turned a lot of people off unfortunately.

Andor is the show that the adult side of every Star Wars fan yearned/yearns for. This is a real show with chalant characters; intelligent writing with a large dose of rationale. Everything makes sense. Nothing makes you scratch your head in confusion.

If you are reading this, and you HAVEN'T watched Andor yet, I urge you to check it out. Sure, it's slow, but I like to use the term focused. And that focus gives the action exponentially more weight when it comes. The payoff is potent.

This episode was no exception. Luthen is becoming one of my favorite characters in Star Wars, and it was cool to see more aliens. I also can't wait to see what happens with Mon Mothma, Cassian and Syril.

Can't wait for next week!

With a bit of a rough start, Andor is proving to become a must watch show.

This episode specifically focusses more on character development and gives the actors the needed screentime to actually act. Long close-ups engage the watchers and we can see the change in our characters unfolding in a way the old films use to do it.

As the previous episode, it's of a high quality, and after the rush of the previous episode, this one is a well paced, visually stunning and emotionally engaging 40 min.

The camera work, acting and editing is on the spot and Benjamin Caron's directing is superb!

I cannot wait for the season's final!

Perfect. The score, the script, the acting, the sets, the ships, everything. This is the best thing Star Wars has made.

Think about what and why rebellions start. They dont start because life is good. They start because life is broken. It takes courage, faith and commitment - even in the face of hard choices - and there are plenty of hard choices here.

You start because rebellion is all you have left.

To the writers, amazing, amazing work. You have really brought Star Wars into the 21st century.

Luthen and his story is outstanding. Hard choices, shady work, coded dialogue. Andor is amazing but he is the vehicle for the story. How does one man, not interested in rebelling learn to rebel. We find it here. Diego is super.

The ISB - everything you knew the Empire to be. Specific, on the ball, sharp, watching. But overreaching. Their over confidence will be their undoing.

The fight scene - again just wow. Everything you ever hoped for done perfectly. This show is not about x wings and tie fighters - but they serve and they are there.

Mon Mothma - you legend. You steal every show. Your faith and commitment to the role and the amazing dialogue you have is spellbinding.

This is the best show since GoT (the early seasons - obviously). Long may you reign.

11 episodes in and this series continues to deliver week after week, episode 11 Daughter of Ferrix was on one hand an emotional and thought provoking journey and the grief associated with loss and on the other the dilemma of a decision on whether or not the needs of the many are indeed more or less important than the needs of the few or in this case 31.

Gilroy has crafted an original, grounded and gritty Star Wars similar to The Mandalorin but distinctly different at the same time, it feels in some respects like a more adult story somehow far and away removed from Disney / Lucasfilm's most recent attempts. Andor stands head and shoulders above both Kenobi and The Book of Boba Fett and is certainly worth while watching and very deserving of a second season. Good Star Wars at last!

I am really enjoying this series! It's hard to believe this is connected to the overarching Star Wars storyline. The spy craft can be treacherous, muddled and the end game is not always clear. These characters keep me coming back every week and I am really loving the world building these storytellers are crafting. I don't think I would recommend this series for kids, but if you're an adult who grew up with SW like I am there might be something here for you. I hope the production crew and writers can keep this show going, and I also hope that Lucasfilm keeps them on retainer for future SW material!
