/r/StarWarsAndor
I hope like what TG said in 22, that it ends either with going to Khafrene. The Black Series just released an Andor (under the Andor series banner) in the same outfit too, so I'm hoping. And maybe Dedra and Syril go to Scariff.
hes is not even great character as opposed to our lead Cassian Andor yeah he seeking Vengeance we know he's not going to succeed what was the point of his character.
Prediction: Syril Karn
Syril Karn will discover Lonni Jung and convince him to turn on Axis in exchange for the freedom of his family.
His new status as USB officer convinces him further he is worthy of Dedra and he will accept a glittering new post with her aboard the empires new weapon - The death star
Final scene is his mother seeing him off at the door bursting with pride.
anybody remember this quote luthen said, i can’t remember exactly what he said but it goes along the lines of “the young die while the old bear it’s fruit” i could be wrong tho. the man has so many good one liners it’s crazy
Can we appreciate Anton Lessers performance he just as terrifying in his role as Qyburn in GOT excited for his scenes with some Major Players coming into season 2.
Id really love to see one!
Two souls on opposite sides of the struggle with very similar characteristics and social statuses. What's the connection? Does anyone else feel the hand of the emporer over Andor?
Luthen detonates a chest explosive - Leon style - leaving Saw incapacitated and we find him part cyborg in Rogue one
So I have been thinking. What if Cassian never met Luthen and instead the people he sold the Starpath engine to and did the Aldhani heist with were the Crimson Dawn?
Basically, Cassian meets a Crimson Dawn agent who recognizes his potential and recruits him by offering him access to their resources to find his long lost sister. Would he agree to such a deal? And if yes, how would the events in Star Wars play out differently?
I am certain this topic has been brought up here before but my passion has been rekindled for the stance that Andor is PERFECT for Star Wars to finally show many Bothans dying to get information to the Rebellion regarding the Death Star and/or the Emperor’s presence on it. My question is has anyone seen or heard anything that might indicate they will take this opportunity in this series? May the Force be with us. Edit: Okay so not the perfect opportunity due to Bothans dying to get info about Death Star II 😩😩😩 I just need this scene in my life lol. I will say it would be amazing to see a reference to it - maybe an episode that shows the machinations of the Bothans spy network?
I don’t think I’m the first to point this out, but it just sank in for me while I was rewatching the series this week.
During a rewatch of Andor, I noticed that the camera briefly focuses on Cinta walking in the funeral procession - same with Corv (who later gets stabbed by Cinta). Seems the implication is that they knew about the procession starting early, though both Vel and Dedra (along with the other Imperials and outsiders) are completely off-guard when the anvil rings. Is there a reason why Cinta wouldn't clue Vel in, or why Corv didn't communicate what was going on back to Dedra?
TL;DR
Seperatists = 'world government sucks, let's make a better one amongst ourselves'
Neo Republicans = 'that republic we had was WAY better than that empire we've got now'
Gorman Front = 'we like it when gormans have shipping lanes and don't starve'
Partisan Alliance = every other group like the gormans that isn't the gormans
Sectorists = 'Don't tread on me'
Human Cultists = 40k
Galaxy Partitionists = 'i'm sure we could draw some new borders after the empire's gone and nothing would go wrong.'
I rewatched that episode where Luthen first meets with Saw recently and a bunch of rebel groups of 'ideologies' get rattled off briefly.
My take on what those ideologically-indicated groups probably mean are as follows:
Seperatists
The same ideology that the CIS held and the opposing ideology of the Clone Wars. Galactic government is a bad thing from several viewpoints. It's too cumbersome to work effectively. It becomes bloated and corrupt. The institutions on Coruscant become too centralised to core worlds.
However, Seperatists probably do not oppose big government, or being part of a supra-national state, as the CIS operated as such with its own senate and executive branch, governing branches and so on, even if mostly for the purposes of common cause (independence from the Republic, and mutual defence of that independence).
After the clone wars then, rebels fighting the Empire for a Separatist ideology are likely seeking to break away as many aligned systems as possible into a new confederatly organised state that would be allied in independence from the Empire, and the mutual defence of that independence. To achieve that goal is lofty and probably not realistic after the clone wars, since they would need thousands of systems to overthrow imperial rule in a time when the Empire's level of control is absolute. In other words, they'd need to ally with other rebel groups that don't necessary share their ideology to succeed.
Neo Republican
'Maya Pei's a Neo Republican'
'Neo' means new, recent, revied, or modified as a prefix according to the dictionary. So it would seem that this group, even though it's a bit confusing to me considering the eventual overall alliance's desires are, wants to restore the republic, plain and simple. I think that's the straight forward way of looking at it.
Alternatively, the ideological goals of a 'neo republican' may be to bring forth a new and improved version of galactic republic, based on the idea that the former galactic republic was flawed in some way.
Either way, a straight forward goal of bringing forth a galactic republic to replace the empire, which seems to make its way in the future as the primary goal of the Rebel Alliance. It seems that 'Neo Republicansim' is probably the most dominant ideology in the galaxy among rebel alligned people. Mon Mothma also fits this ideology, as does Bail Organa.
Gormann Front
We don't really know much about the Gormans. We don't even know if they're a race or a faction, or if they even come from a planet called Gorman. Just that they are 'the gormans' and they have shipping lanes.
Either way, whoever the Gormans are, this is almost certainly the equivilent of the IRA for that group oppressed by the Empire, plain and simple. It must be a sizable or notable group based on Saw's mention of it.
Resisting the oppression of the Gormans, no other objectives.
Partisan Alliance
Saw's group is called The Partisans. So this one is a little confusing. Probably there are other partisan (the generic use of that word rather than the noun) groups around the galaxy that are most likely small and have banded together for strength in numbers. A Partisan is a member of an irregular group that attempts to resist and occupying power, so this is straight up resistance to oppressive Imperial rule, and is probably nothing more than locals fighting for freedom from the empire strictly on the local level with no intention of taking it further than freedom for (I assume ) their worlds.
Why Saw's group isn't in this, seemingly, isn't very clear.
Sectorists
Based on the wider lore, I think that a 'sectorist' is someone who believes that individual sectors should be free from higher oversight and operate autonomously from a higher level of government.
I don't think it makes sense for an ideology fighting for sectors to be independent makes sense as, from what I can tell, people in star wars don't really have allegiance to the sector where their world happens to fall. Sectors are administrative entities based on 'geography', so my assumption would be that sectorism is opposition to power being concentrated, and supports power being distributed.
For example, someone in the USA who believes that the federal government should be minimal, if existing at all, and that states should manage their own affairs, but remain in some form of union with one another.
It might be fair to assume that a sectorist isn't opposed to the idea of galactic government but opposes the idea of laws being made on Coruscant. Still, they must be against the Empire specifically for Saw to mention them as a group in active rebellion.
Human Cultists
A bit of a sinister mention, this seems pretty plain to me: human supremacy over aliens. We know there are many times more humans than aliens in the star wars galaxy, and this would seem to be an ideology that insists upon the rights of humans to an extreme degree.
Again, for Saw to mention them in the context of the scene, they must be rebelling against the Empire. Why this is is pretty hard to say, and my assumption would be that this is a little bit like the kind of small but not insignificant extremist (even religious) group you find in the middle of nowhere that utterly resists any government exercising control over their affairs, by virtue of their extremist beliefs alone.
Interesting idea may be that the Rebel Alliance has to entertain including such a group among them if they are significant enough to have a hope against the empire.
Galaxy Partitionists
To me, this seems to be an ideology that advocates:
a) the end of the Empire as galactic government and
b) no restoration of any other form of galactic government after that happens.
By which, with the end of the Empire, the galaxy is partitioned down certain lines (think the Middle East or Africa during the 20th century) in an attempt to avoid the inevitable oppression of a galactic power, or inefficiency of a galactic government. The galaxy instead exists as several, perhaps many, smaller states.
I am currently looking for a clip of Andor Ep7 during the scene of when Mon Mothma goes to Luthen's shop and they speak about the heist. For some reason this clip is not online anywhere and I am looking for it to use for something. Does anyone know where I could look?
Looking for clothing that matches style or aesthetic from the show. Link me to stuff you got, like, or just thought looked great.
Specifically looking for male fashion, but post female as well for others. I'll still be taking a look.

So, removed the UHD discs, and jury-rigged some padding. Then it is just a question of following the old laserdisc storage rule; always standing upright.
