You get three Gilroy written and made Andor supporting character spinoff series. Who do you choose? Luthen and Mon are the obvious choices so I’ll go with:
Skeen Partagaz Deidra
I realize that a lot of us are sick of the Disney shows and everything but after watching house of the dragon on HBO it feels really similar to how it feels reading plagueis how it chronicles events over a long period of time acting as a historical accounting almost. The book even neatly divides itself into 3 parts which could probably just be adapted into 3 seasons.
If they want something original have it set between 52 and 32 BBY?
After Andor, I think a mature show following the development of the Partisans could be interesting. How extreme could they be that Mon Mothma and Bail Organa refused to cooperate with them?
Granted, we don’t know yet but considering what we know about the Ghorman massacre from Legends I do wonder if they would still kept it or giving the fact they mention the Ghorman front in which I think Magva Yarro who joined Saw Gettera’s Partisans was a member I think it would be really cool to see reports of the massacre reached Senator Tynnra Palmo, who work closely with rebel alliance intelligence service leading to Mon Mothma denouncing the emperor for the massacre?
First of all, it's mentioned as being the location of an abandoned rebel base in A New Hope. Second, according to Wookiepedia, "Initially, the evacuation of the Dantooine Rebel base was to be featured in the 2016 Star Wars Anthology film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but didn't make the cut due to budget constraints." I didn't find out about this until today and thought I knew everything there is to know about that movie.
Because the end of Andor season 2 will lead directly into Rogue One, I think there is a high chance that this plot detail will be salvaged and featured in the show. I cannot think of a better a more perfect place to include it.
Thoughts? Do you think it's likely or are you doubtful that Dantooine will be featured in the show? Maybe the evacuation of Dantooine be an event that happens in the background like the raid on Spellhaus? Either way I trust Gilroy with whatever he has planned for season 2.
I finished rewatching it the second time tonight. Unfortunately, s2 might not be out for at least 6+ months.
I really hate how Andor dies in Rogue One. But I liked how the last episode of you guys stuck around for the post credits shows the construction of the Death Star (which kills him later) as it nears its completion. Even tho u know most of these characters will meet their maker, there is this bittersweetness that ends up being the perfect recipe of sweetness and bitterness.
In most of the star wars saga you see The Empire as faceless and masked bastards. And don’t get me wrong they all still are. But that romantic tension between Syril and Dedra! I wanted those two to make the fuck out! They seem perfect for each other: two uptight, pent up and ambitious Empire stooges. It is clear that Dedra puts the empire above all else. The interesting thing about Syril is that he did too, before he met Dedra. If there’s one thing he would die for before the empire it would be for Dedra; that was made very clear in the last episode, as well as him being her stalker prior to that lol.
There is so much good acting all around, honestly every single actor did an outstanding job, the script was beautiful, the directing, filming, cinematography and even the transitions between certain scenes (for example the transition from Bix screaming from being tortured to the screeching of the metal construction that was being done in the prison Andor was in).
I can go on and on for a week but for now I will just say this. This show was “ON PROGRAM”.
This has got to be one of the best fanvids I’ve watched. Bit long, but very much worth it.
Title says it all. I was a huge star wars nerd as a kid and kind of lost interest after the Clone Wars wrapped up. I just found Andor and its the most exciting show I've seen in a while :D
Notice the thriving beach front on Space Miami (Niamos) when we first see our hero, post Aldani heist, trying to keep his bar wench happy with some greenie greenies.
But...when Cassian revisits Niamos to retrieve his stash in the same hotel room - the beach is desolate. Do you think the rapid persecution and deployment of PORD made "vacationing" at that specific spot unsavory for people looking to relax?
I'd know I'd hate to be imprisoned while on vacation - and if that location became a hot spot for scooping up undesirables, then I'd rather not visit there - simple as that.
When Cassian made the call back to Ferrix (and learned about his mum), there was nobody around. Melshi stood alone waiting for his friend. It was...kinda eerie, helped to set the stage that he was now alone (post Maarva, now post Clem as well), but...the beach was literally empty.
Was tourist season over? Or did PORD turn the galaxy into a "Post 9/11" travel blight type of scenario?
Looks like attention spans are hard to come by nowadays.
I feel like there’s a lot of work to be done in the next season? Will 12 episodes be enough? Yes? No? I think Gilroy can do it.
I’m honestly really curious how they depict Mon Mothma’s efforts to recruit these military officers to the Rebel Alliance and if we find out their motivations for joining. You could do a lot of interesting storytelling and world-building with just that alone. I just hope it’s not rushed. Thoughts?
says filming of the final season has 7 days left of filming in London
I finally watched this amazing series, and I'm shocked this isn't the standard for all Star Wars!
While she’s only canon to the EU, I think she could be woven into an Andoresque Star Wars story. Maybe the show itself (I doubt this is the case though). In Legends, she’s the Director of Imperial Intelligence, an organization mentioned in Andor episode 9. Ysanne like Dedra was a great example of a ruthless female imperial who managed to climb the ranks of the male-dominated Empire.
I gotta say though, I’m not a fan of the red imperial uniforms. I’m glad they didn’t carry over into canon.
Cassian and Melshi briefly talk about it at the end of episode 11, but I keep wondering, what if they really were the only ones who got fully off the planet and away to freedom? It really goes to show what a hail marry the prison escape was. It could have gone wrong in so many ways, and the odds of getting away alive for each individual prisoner was so so low. All the prisoners knew this, but the 0.00001% chance of escape was better than guaranteed prison slavery for the rest of your life.
Its just crazy to think about, Cassian's whole plan with the water shutting off the floor, that was an educated guess. Also, as far as they knew, there could have been emergency doors in the prison hallways that would immediately close and not be openable. If anything went wrong, they were screwed, and many things that could have gone wrong were totally out of the prisoners control. If not for the prison being overconfident that no prisoners would ever get past the first line of defense, then the escape would have been over before it started. Its like Cassian said, "Nobody's listening!" If they guards just had a surveilcence system that picks up audio in the prisoners sleeping quarters, or surveilence in the bathroom, the whole plan is just nothing, immediately.
And then after they jump in the water (some probably drowned, having not swam or done anything physical other than walk around and stand around and work with their hands for years), they have to swim away and just, hope they somehow get to safety? Cassian and Melshi just wandered and avoided the imperials search ships until they got lucky and found the quad jumper, and the aliens who owned the jumper just happened to be kind and help them.
There are plenty of other examples of ways things could (and did) go wrong for the vast majority of the prisoners. They just gave it their all even though it was probably doomed to fail, because they would rather die trying than just give the empire what they want. This show is so amazing, I just cant believe that a freaking Disney+ star wars show is so deep and amazing.
Sorry this is a bit of a rant.
This feels like an awfully silly question to be asking. Even more so considering I just finished a rewatch this month. But as I got to thinking about it and started scrubbing through scenes, I couldn't find anything to suggest that he knows.
Luthen doesn't introduce himself on Ferrix or during the flight to Aldhani. Vel insists on not discussing him. Post-Aldhani, Cassian refers to him as "your friend" when speaking to Vel. Bix knows nothing when he goes back to Ferrix. From there, he has no direct interactions with anyone until the very last scene of the finale.
Did I overlook something?
Just watched the show for the first time after my brother hounded me to watch it forever, and I was absolutely blown away. The writing was inspired… the political message was prescient and handled beautifully… the acting was incredible… the costume and spacecraft design was excellent… the production was crisp and insanely cool.
The only thing that bothers me is the revelation of the prisoner being sent back to the same cell block making everyone realize they will never be set free. If they have been rotating the prisoners and never actually releasing them, wouldn’t prisoners from other prisons be able to reveal this information even if they weren’t sent back to the same cell block by accident? How does the empire keep the facade of working out your shifts and then being released past the first prison you’re stationed at?
