Who Are You?

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.

One of the best episodes I have ever seen.

All the build-up and character developments led to this episode.

This episode was intensity at its highest form and as evil as only the Empire can be. Showing the polar opposites between the rebels and the Empire, and complexities within.

If you have been disappointed with the 2nd season so far, know that this episode makes it all worth it and then some. Just like season 1, it takes time to build up the story and the complexities within the characters and then strikes down as Lightning.

Absolute legendary episode and I cant wait to see where this second half of the season takes us.

With everything we have been witnessing around the world, where we are all headed as humanity. The silence, the fear, the peaceful protests, the resistance, all of it. Our paths heading towards more restrictions, our path to using AI and droids to fight wars. The destruction, all of it. All of it broken down in such a way that anyone can understand the message, clear vision and warning this episode is sending out to the world. It is written to perfection. And yet we know where this story goes, and why there always needs to be hope at the end of the road. No empire will last forever. Fascism must end before it ends all of us. Power to all the resistance in the world <3.

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.

This goes beyond Star Wars, beyond sci fi, this was the greatest piece of film, cinema, tv, and movie that I've ever seen. It was perfect. I created my account 30 seconds after finishing the episode to write this. The suspense, the emotion, the pure evil, the story arcs, the character build, everything coming together in a wonderfully beautiful chasm of bedlam, chaos, and struggle. May never see a better piece of cinema ever.

Star Wars has found its edge once again with Andor. If only Boba, Acolyte, and others could've followed the rated-R style of writing in this. As opposed to the recent, PG nonsense.
