What Tony Gilroy, Dan Gilroy, Janus Metz and the rest of the Andor Season 2 crew accomplished here is remarkable, this is the summit of everything the season has been building to since S2E1, such a touching, sad, horrifying and beautiful episode, Andor S2E8 will be remembered as one of the best episodes of modern television, what a masterpiece.

The Empire has never, been more scary than he is here. This is the kind of content Star Wars should be making more, this is the kind of content Star Wars needs more, I thought the One Way Out episode was unbeaten, but I'm glad to see I was wrong, Bravo, Bravo!

Oh boy, what can I say about this episode? I don't even know how to start, so I'm gonna call by what it is: art. If the first 3 episodes didn't hooked you up or you thought they were slow burn or even that this show wasn't worth watching it, this episode may be the one to change your mind. I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to ending. The stakes have never been higher. I can see they're improving everything from episode to episode, the performances of the main characters feel more natural, the choreography for the action scenes is way better here, even the VFX that was already great in the first 3 episodes look even better here. The highlights of this episode: Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll, wow, just wow, he totally nailed it, I'm completey sold on the character. Natasha Liu Bordizzo's Sabine Wren and Ivanna Sakhno's Shin Hati we're pretty good here too, but the 2 things that made this episode so special were Dave Filoni's writing and Peter Ramsey's directing, brilliant, just brilliant. The ending of the episode was just the icing of the cake of a already great episode and just helped to cement this one as one of the best Star Wars live-action shows episodes. I can't wait for next week, I wish I had a Time Machine so I could go 7 days to the future.
