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!

After the previous episode which delivrred incredible tension and amazing writing and acting, this felt like a great way to digest what we just experienced as well as setting the stage for the finale!

At this point you can feel how the rebellion is only getting closer qnd closer! The characters are facing some turning points and they have to fully commit themselves to the cause, if this is gonna work!

After Luthens legendary monologue in the previous episode, you kinda see him differently now! Its like you finally understand him and you root for him more than ever! For that reason I am glad he gets one of the best scenes in this episode!

The season might have been slow at first, but all thst set up and introduction is about to pay off!

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!

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.

News of a significant death travels fast, whilst Luthen pushes Saw to play the long game.

This is a strong episode that nicely sets up the season finale.

There is some fairly tense build up for certain characters that bodes well for the final episode of the series. Easily the strongest scenes for me involve Luthen. I love the dialogue with Saw, as both Stellen Skarsgåd and Forrest Whitaker are excellent as always when they share the screen. Plus there is one action focussed scene involving TIE Fighters that has some particularly cool moments for the character.

I also enjoyed the scene involving Mon Mothma as this character continues to intrigue and Genevieve O'Reilly is on great form as always. In fact all the scenes relating to the development of the Rebel Alliance is the stuff of nerdgasms for a long time Star Wars fan like me.
