25:40 they switch hats so that they can more easily spot each other in a crowd
This series is the richest, most gratifying Live-Action Star Wars content I’ve experienced since the conclusion of the original trilogy. No contest.
Sad but true
💯
I think rogue one is also up there. I love how the rogue one team just casually drops the best Star Wars projects since 30 years ago.
@@Pinkielover and you stuck around for all 12 stories just to tell us?😂
On par with Clone Wars
Mon Mothma throwing her husband under the bus in order to justify her financial movements ... Oh boy that's cold blooded, but then, so well played.
Better her vain and imperial loving husband than her naive teenage daughter.
I know. I was watching that scene and thinking "You genius". Just like that she's given a hugely plausible false explanation for every and any accounting irregularity the ISB might find, whilst simultaneously making them feel like they've worked it out for themselves and uncovered the dirty little secret. Well played indeed.
Cold as, yeah, but I guess she knows. She’s on a path and he’s not gonna walk it with her. He’s the fall guy and maybe her daughter will at least be physically safe if she goes along with the arranged marriage traditions.
@@chrishill4883 Exactly she knew the driver was listening. Damn, she's good, she's very good.
If you think about it she kinda did what Luthen would've done in that situation
The speechwriters on this show are killing it. Not just Kino; not just Luthen; but, also Maarva. Even Nemik's brief talks about his views regarding tyranny and resistance (in dialog and in his manifesto) were very rousing.
I'm so relieved that the finale worked out. I was so nervous that the series would stumble at the end, but they finished strong. This is my favorite live-action Star Wars, and second place is not even close.
Absolutely agree
I just loved how every little thing impacted Cassian's views to fully commit to the rebellion. Up to the point where he was literally going to let Luthen kill him for the rebellion.
@@chabotal3133 I like that Cassian is an unwitting hero. He got swept up in things bigger than himself, while all he wanted was to have a quiet life for himself and Maarva and his long-lost sister. Then, of course, in a few year's time, he'll find himself on a beach at the end of his life.
I bet casting directors will hear a few of those monologues for some time when they ask "what have you prepared for us?"
So well written!
This show is adding the third dimension to Star Wars that has otherwise always been black and white. Now there's nuances and it feels more real because of it.
I love how Andor's whole story ultimately revolves around the death star. Technically he helped create it and he helped destory it while also sacrificing himself along the way.
Season 2 will hopefully be all about the necent rebellion uncovering the existence of the 'imperial super weapon'.
But it also means he died avenging everyone at Narkina 5
Like a hero from Greek tragedy.
I need a supercut of all the times Cassian guns someone down with zero hesitation. Friggin cold-blooded.
He's so badass. The first time he did it, he hesitated. But after that, it just becomes easier and easier for him, which is both extremely interesting and thoroughly chilling.
“He knows everything he needs to know, and feels everything he needs to feel. When the day those two pull together, he will be an unstoppable force for good.”
Bruh….I got got
I finally understood Luthen and the speech. Luthen works in the shadows, he undermines the Empire in secret. But Marvaa is asking people to wake up, stand against the empire ie. step out in to the light to fight. Which start the confrontation. This applies to Luten as well, let people know that there are people that are against the empire and they might join you. And all of works with Luthen's speech last episode "I dream of a sunrise that I'll never see". Dream/waking up, sunrise/shadow.
This show is so well written it's a dream for anyone who likes literature analysis.
Great analysis. I agree with you
This episode genuinely made me cry, Marvas funeral reminded me of the first real funeral I had attended, one of my grandmother's.
Dude , same so hard
@@sundrelstriker7513 I was wrecked the whole episode
Marva is alive, shes the bomb throwing kid, you can see her hands clearly when he/she throws the bomb, then on the transport out
Your grandmother sounds fucking badass
It made me cry too 👍👍
Marva’s speech at the end game me chills, this show is amazing. I think she would love the idea of her brick being used to beat Imperials to ☠️
Sameeeee, nemicks speech was beautiful as well
Even in death she was able to give one more blow to the empire
It’s a bit on the head, but the impact is undeniable 😂
This show has quite the obsession with great character speeches.
@@eclipped "freedom is a pure idea." 5 words that sends chills to everyone!
the symbolism of the ceremonial band is so deep :
when the funeral band starts to play its meant towards the Imperials; as if they are saying:
" the end or death of the Empire is near. This is the start of the end. This is the funeral song of the Empire."
The clocktower guy rings the last hour of the Empire. You can feel it deep inside, people had enough, the Revolution has started
and Maarva as a brick hitting the head of an Imperial as the first blow.
Maarva's stone taking out an imperial trooper was her helping in the fight even after death in a way, ironically since she said "it's easy for the dead to tell you to fight"
This show has the best monologues ever
25:33 It was setup from the introduction of Syril that he has an infinity for clean, neat, and tailored clothes/uniforms. His hat was rugged. Seargent Mosk from his limited time with Syril already knew this, hence the hat exchange. Just another example of how well the writing and character development of this show is.
Another theory is that they switched bc it would make it easier to id their own hats in a crowd
Honestly I think high schoolers could definitely watch this show and perfectly understand it (I am one). I was able to fully get all the political messages, deeper themes, references/allusions, context clues, and real world comparisons. This was such a genius and arguably the most nuanced show I’ve ever seen
I like that fact that this show feels, new and fresh with talent and passion seeping in every regard. I doubt we will get another show like Andor in a long time. Until now the 2008 Clone Wars were my favorite show. Andor took that crown. I mean I can enjoy both things, but Andor edges out for me because of how talented everyone in front, behind the camera and the writers. I want to write shows like Andor when I get older.
Dewit. 💪
I can’t get over the fact that the first time we really see Stormtroopers in action is in the season finale. Gilroy and co turned the “bread and butter” of Star Wars content into a season finale level threat!
It really makes you remember that we've been following protagonists most of the time we see Stormtroopers. People we know will reasonably never be killed, so only massive threats (Major crime lords, Sith, etc) actually trigger our alarm bells as viewers. A show like Andor, whose primary cast is a bunch of scrapyard workers? Yeah, Stormtroopers are going to pose a larger threat to them than fulltime smugglers, latent Jedi, and trained soldiers/mercenaries. Any time the common people's view of the Empire is shown, it always reminds the viewer that these atrocities are committed daily across the galaxy under the Empire, we've just been primarily watching characters with plot armor interact with them.
It's ironic: the Death Star plans Cassian helped stole on Scarif is the same plans of the battle station he unknowingly built.
And the thing that will kill him.
@@riccardogemme Exactly.
He indirectly build the parts of the laser which would kill him in order to destroy it. It rhymes.
Maarva's funeral dirge is the Andor theme from the title screen. It was always the song that made him into the hero he was in Rogue One. We were just waiting to hear it.
man brasso looks like he give great hugs. i feel like if i got a hug like that all my problems would be solved
That shot at the end of the Death Star being finished over Scarif was sublime. Immediately went as my desktop background. 😂
Maarvas speech is one of the most amazing speeches I've ever heard.
And it echos into the real world scary well...
I literally ugly cried this entire episode. What fukken GREAT storytelling.....💖🥰💖🥰💖🥰💖🥰💖🥰💖🥰💖
"Tell Cassian, I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong." My heart shattered into a gozillion pieces....
MARVA set it off. Her last act in life...she unleashed a powerful force for good.....
Like a boss....
Peace be upon Marva.
Not to mention that she got directly involved in the fighting, being the brick that bashed the head in of the ISB officer lol
lol same...and the reactions here on youtube make me cry too
Her words of love and encouragement to her son hit me so hard as someone whose mother sadly is way more like Syril's.
@@neutchain7838 you noticed that too? Also if you superimpose the opening marks that appear in the show opening, over that shot of the death star in the end credit, the markings line up perfectly....
@@memento81 her words forgave him for what she knew he would have to do. If u notice after Cassian heard his mother's last words to him, he merk'd that officer without even hesitating.
"There is a little bit more brainpower power involved in watching Andor..." - YES! Also agree not all SW shows need to be in this style. This was a fantastic show, and it's okay if there are fans who do not resonate with this show. It's comparable to how some are more aware/involved with World events, while others don't care to know (or cannot relate) until perhaps years down the road (or it becomes personal / happens in their own backyard). Thanks for the great reaction video! #wevebeensleeping
I would never trade Andor for Mandalorian or Obi-Wan, or vice versa. I want Star Wars to be made in all kinds of styles and flavors. Different tones for different stories.
@@AlasdairGR It's partly why the MCU is so successful.
facts spoken! Andor feels so real and it goes great with current events.
@@AlasdairGR I would in a heartbeat, I would trash every single one of those shows for more shows like Andor
@@Majorblack Just imagine what Obi-Wan could have been in the hands of Tony Gilroy. All the rushed the Reva arc felt, and the poorly directed Leia kidnapping, or the escape from the base. That series had so much potential but the writers and directors let everyone down
“Why rebel?”
Andor answers the question, on every level, in glorious, eloquent, detail
Also THAT SHOT panning through the streets!
Which one! There's like 3 or 4 absolutely amazing shots that fit that description!
I am most interested by Luthen's face after the bombing. It seemed like he was just stunned by the whole thing, I'm wondering if it's because he's never been that close to the action cause he is just a behind the scenes kind of guy. Or if he was silently panicking because he didn't see this coming for once and doesn't have a plan on how is going to get off world without being noticed. I need next season now.......I want to see full rebel mode Andor and how he climbs the ranks to his position in Rouge One
I think that look on his face is the shock of Luthen seeing the Rebellion begin, but this was outside of his control and influence. He had little to do with it but just indirectly be there. And Maarva’s speech moved more people against the Empire than all he has ever done, and now he is questioning his tactics and mantra. This was bigger and beyond his control. Luthen did not have to do so many terrible things to start the rebellion. Maarva inspired more righteous uprising (in the general populace) than Luthen could hope to.
And he knows it.
@@a23m.9 yes your interpretation is the one I came to as well.
To me it looked like Luthen was heavily burdened by all the deaths. Yeah, he's a killer and gave up 30 people for his ISB asset, but these were innocent and mostly unarmed people getting slaughtered right in front of him and he nearly died himself. I don't think he fully understood what a rebellion looks like on the ground. Now he does.
"I burn my life to create a sunrise I'll never see," he said, a few episodes ago. I think his shock in this moment is him realizing that he *did* get to see it. Maarva empowering the common folk to rebel is something Luthen thought he'd never see in his lifetime.
@@quindecim7507 I wonder if Andor will share the manifesto with Luthen and that will alter his way of thinking more of seeing this really did move him that way
Luthen's explanation to Lonni about his sacrifice: Epic.
Maarva's parting words to the people of Ferrix: Hold my beer.
And Luthen knows it, too. You could see it on his face.
God Andor was so good. The writing and acting has been outstanding and the production looks and sounds great. I could easily watch 5 seasons.
The finale was fantastic.The funeral procession music was hauntingly beautiful and made me very emotional. The tenderness by which Andor handled Bix was appreciated and I love Andor and Luthen's dynamic; they are going to make a great team and I cannot wait for season two.
Brilliant and masterful from beginning to end, Diego Luna is the heart and soul of this series that binds everything together, I loved everything second of it from the writing, the acting, the music, the world building, the cinematography and the culture nuances, can’t wait for season 2!!!
Marva’s speech at her own funeral was a masterful call to arms. The post credit scene had me on the floor.
I love that Andor was reading the manifesto.
The dialogue in this show just hits it out of the park every time man. Phenomenal finale and show. Excited for next season.
Dude this way of story telling is compelling, and deep ! I enjoyed the heck out of it! I agree telling Star Wars in different ways broadens our perspective in a positive way ! Awesome job brother !
The Funeral March music is the evolving Andor series opening title music!!
"I earn to lift you. Not beacause I want to shine or be even remembered is because I want you to go on". Reflect Andor sacrifice in Rogue one.
I think what I love the most about Andor and Rogue One is that it makes the events leading to the destruction of the Death Star in the OG Star Wars even more epic. I want to watch it again after this series is over. Specially the trench run and all the events that had to happen for that moment to be possible.
I wholeheartedly agree with this statement and am going to watch atar wars again tomorrow.
42:40 That was probably the best low-key insult you could give about some viewers.
I think that Luthen is just seeing the result of what he was _trying_ to initiate with Aldani. It's no coincidence that Marva's activism was explicitly sparked into action by that event that he orchestrated.
Luthen wanted the complacency of the people to be broken by disrupting the Empire's slow & invisible stranglehold over the galaxy by forcing aggression. That's what will, start people fighting again - just like at the prison.
That's why even _knowing it would cost lives_ of people he knew like Krieger and people he didn't like on Morlana 1, it's what he's causing out of necessity. Like he said before - he is cursed to use the tools of his enemies against them.
Most notably, Deidra is the one who correctly identified that the strict and enormous response to Aldani was a misstep by the Empire for that reason, and why she's such a pivotal character. Tactically, she has what is necessary to stifle the rebel uprising entirely which is why it's SO important to see how that side operates and why ANY act of rebellion always has the possibility to be that one necessary catalyst to bring about the Empire's demise.
This is what you get when you get the writer of the Bourne movies and let him make a series with incredible actors, real locations and powerful themes. It really grew into something great.
Syril's importance to ISB jumped up this episode, not because of what he did, but what Cassien did. ISB was keeping Bix prisoner because she was their one witness to who Axis is, and now that Cassien rescued her, they've lost their only lead... except Syril stated he heard Luthen's voice and would remember it, meaning he is now their only lead who can identify who Axis is for them. For this reason alone, I believe they will bring him into the fold in hunting Cassien and the others.
I was so worried for B2 during the funeral.
Him and Brasso where the only two, I really would feel sorry for dying in this episode.
I loved that Brasso bricked a trooper, Maarva would have appreciated that.
I love how you could see how much this affected Luthen.
It really gave him some perspective on his rebellion.
That death star moment is poster worthy it looks so cool.
2025. No words, just the date
Can’t wait for the Luthen’s hidden blades dlc next season
I did not expect it to be this good and detailed!
Yes, that overhead tracking shot of Vel running headlong into the smoke was INCREDIBLE. I can't stop rewatching this show. Now that I know the lay of the land after the first viewing, there's a lump in my throat the entire time now. And to go from this to rewatching Rogue One is incredibly rewarding.
God this finale was so good, the build was well done and the writing was so good. I loved Maarva's speech.
My favorite touch with this finale is the parrallels to other arcs. Deedra is a mirror to Syril, their overconfidence and lack of experience in rela situations ost them in the end but Syril learned and grew from it and thus he was finally able to have his hero moment. I fully expect Deedra to get reprimanded and be more dangerous in s2. Cassian in that last scene mirrored luthen in the first arc, he presents himself completely vulernable to Luthen like he did and asks luthen to take him with him to fight for the rebellion. The funeral scene and speech were incredible, Fiona Shaw nailed it. i really loved this show and am hyped for s2.
Harry Potters Aunt redeemed herself on this day!!! That speech was 🔥
Holy shit it IS her. I didn't make that connection at all. 😅
Ha ha I was saying "Go Aunt Petunia" in this ep 😂
SO enjoyed this finale, and the perfect end credit scene 🎬. Maarva’s speech (soliloquy?) was yet another epic writing achievement. And wow…Mon wasn’t kidding, when she told Vel that she’d “found a solution” to her financial crisis. 😏
I love how we see the different layers of the dish being built, by the workers here, and then in Rogue one we see the dish being inserted.
"Try" that felt epic
Absolutely the pinnacle of Star Wars media, as far as I’m concerned. The very best Star Wars property to ever exist. I’m absolutely floored by how incendiary this show is.
luthen asks cassian, "what game is this?", to which cassian replies, "no game."
to luthen, it really has been like playing chess. a game played with mere objects. but ferrix reminded him that the pieces he's been playing with are people with hopes and fears and families and friends.
I love that they turned Max Headroom into a droid. Already going crazy waiting for season 2.
That last scene is so well done. All throughout the show Luthen has been dealing with everyone questioning him. No one: not Vel, not Mon, not Lonnie, not even Saw can see the big picture that Luthen sees, they can't understand. But Cassian comes to Luthen and sees things so clearly. If Cassian is caught the Empire will make him talk it's only a matter of time, they will be that much closer to finding Luthen, the only options he has are to die and keep the secret or keep fighting. So on hearing Cassian accepting this Luthen finally has someone else that can see the big picture, someone he can truly work with.
Andor is awesome and will stand the test of time. This show set a new precedent for what Star Wars can be. And I agree they shouldn’t let Tony Gilroy run everything Star Wars. But they should let him have free reign of his own projects so he can keep bringing this flavor of Star Wars to the table. Thanks Kyle and Bendu for all your time and effort you put in to the channel. Happy Thanksgiving :)
I watched the OT as a kid and fell in love with the Star Wars universe. I saw the prequels in my 20s and was bitterly disappointed but by the time the sequels came out I had mellowed and come to see each movie trilogy for what they were - fantastic family films. Every trilogy IS Star Wars for the kids that grow up with them. So now I watch The Mandalorian, Book Of Boba Fett et al with my own young kids and have a great time with them and taking a good ol’ nostalgia bath.
Then Andor comes along as the only piece of live action Star Wars that has been written for those of us who grew up with Star Wars but are now GROWN UP. It manages to be respectful of everything that has gone before without feeling limited by it, and has been unafraid to write truly new stories and characters. The cinematography, music, writing, casting and performances have been as good as, in many instances way better than, anything we have had in Star Wars to date.
I agree with Kyle that there is absolutely still room for the family-oriented action adventure that we see in the other content, but I have been overjoyed to finally have something for me NOW, not something just for 8yo me.
Immense. Huge props to the whole Andor crew.
The richest and most engaging content from Star Wars since 1980. Superb at all levels - as others have said, a masterpiece.
Its good, but its no Rebels.
@@shugaroony You're right.
It's not a cartoon.
I called it last episode that Bee had Maarva's last words and still wasn't ready for it
I love how the battle managed to make the Imperials look both menacing and pathetic at the same time. Shots of Stormtroopers cleanly picking off civilians through the chaos and smoke, juxtaposed with officers weakly scrambling to pull themselves up from the dirt. Some of the midground characters from Ferix being gunned down, slam cutting into Dedra getting bodied and struggling to even figure out what to do in a real combat situation. Its beautiful. EXACTLY what Star Wars has struggled to do for decades, done near-perfectly here. Its essentially giving is a quick and dirty microcosm of the Empire and its current state, all within a single riot/battle.
Syril just Batmaned his way into Commissioner Dedra's heart.
Ferrix was a powder keg and Marva lit the fuse from beyond the grave. Making the moment both poetic and powerful. Every scene in this show is beautifully written!
They do a great job at increasing the tension every second leading up to the riot.
Loved this show and your reactions guys. Can't wait for season 2 and all the other shows still to come.
One Man, One Brick. The most powerful force in the universe.
Who knew we could have such variety in the Star Wars Universe, Andor just threw its hat into the Best Star Wars Arena.
I'm also glad that the "word" Andor definitely includes Marva and Cassian!!
The show's name is not Cassian nor Cassian Andor, but it includes this "origin".
Luthan was able to tangeable results of his efforts! That was his payoff as well as his catalyst!!
that mob was about to tear her apart she’s so lucky that guy saved her
ANOTHER ONE!! Hearing that manifesto, seeing the Cassian flashbacks of his dad, seeing everyone’s point of view during Maarva’s speech..best Star Wars content to date.
The acting and the casting for this show is outrageously good.
Thank you, Kyle! Thank you, Bendu! Thanks, Nerd Chronic! 🧱 I especially loved your observation on how hearing the 'Maarva' hologram gave 'Luthen' new insight into recruitment possibilities for the Rebellion. #KyleKatarn #StarWars #Andor
Holy cow I’ve never been this early! This episode was so satisfying. Maarva was such a badass.
That shot where the tempo changes, and the people of ferrix are marching towards the the imperials reminds me of the American revolutionary War and scenes from The Patriot. I absolutely love this show.
KRIFF YES!!!!!
The finale was so worth those separate arcs from beginning to end, and the speech Maarva gave from beyond the grave really is the spark that it'll light the fire to bring the empire and eventually First Order down. Additionally, Barsso and the rest of Cassian's crew is alive and well so Season 2's direction is so gonna be much more gritter as its a time jump.
AS usual, Kyle and Bendu's reactions blessed us time and time again. Also, The Empire's brutality and cold demeanor's well shown here too as a lot of us misunderstood that the Empire's a not so big threat, but this show changed our view of them for the better.
The reason Mosk exchanges his hat with Syril is because his hat is orange and orange on the hat is the color of command in the Corpos. Mosk is demonstrating that he still considers Syril his commander.
22:43 - You see that droid hunkered in the front with a GUN WELDED TO HIS HEAD
you guys are awesome, I found you while looking for Andor reactions .. and I'm glad I did ... true fans man ... this show is amazing! can't wait for season 2
The best Star Wars. Tony Gilroy and the show runners for Andor raised the bar way higher than I ever thought it would go.
Maarva's funeral speech was the highlight of the entire series...
27:09 Right? Right? "Andor" did this so incredibly well... creating tension and suspense, making you wait for the inevitable. They did it before during the Prison-Arc and especially masterfully in the Aldhani-heist episode. The entire time you're at the edge of your seat, waiting with bated breath for that one moment when it starts to go down. You know stuff's about to happen (or, in the case of the Aldhani-Raid, you just knew that at one point something would happen that would make it all go sideways), you KNOW it, you just don't know when or what exactly.
Sidenote: Gotta admit, i especially liked seeing Brasso tear shit up. I would have prefered to see the Hammer-guy on the tower dome that Trooper coming for him with a hammer, though.
I mean, it's literally the only theory everyone got right, and it was because everyone instantly said "are they building the Death Star?!" out of being programmed by previously predictable Star Wars stories. But in this case, for this story- specifically the Tragedy of Cassian Andor/Rogue One- it made the most sense. He is literally ended by the weapon he was forced to help make, the ultimate irony. This show is so freaking good.
An ISB Job is probably the most underrated joke here 😂
"I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong."
That broke me. Andor is everything I ever wanted for new Star Wars.
The writing, sets, characters, speeches, so much about this show is amazing. And I really can’t wait for the second season. This is making me want to play some battlefront now. And I just watched rogue one again and it’s just amazing.
Switching hats is a way to help zone in on someone in a crowd. You'll recognise your own hate, in a way that wouldn't stand out to anyone else.
As somebody that was very involved in the music program during high school I couldn’t help but laugh at the very obvious normal flute with extraneous prop stuff.
Kyle and Bendu, as always, every episode that premieres I look forward to your reactions, today for the 536373th time I saw it again and I absolutely agree with what Kyle says so accurately "If you saw Andor and you don't like it, you simply don't know what Happens with Star Wars"
I think this series was divided into two objectives, 1 to show the way to Rogue One, and 2 to show the true face of the empire.
The other point is that thanks to this you know more about real Star Wars fans, with Andor I was disappointed with many UA-camrs (and very big ones) who claimed to be "fans" and thanks to this it was revealed that they are only fake, or as they say in my country Chile "Son de Cartón"
Thank you Kyle and Bendu for so much! May the force be with you always.
21:12 that was Mon Mothma playing the part of a nuisance senator with an embarrassing personal problem that explains any oddity in her banking arrangements as Mr. Mothma covering a gambling problem in my mind. She knows she is being spied on by the driver, and this is the sort of dirty secret the Empire expects to discover.
Man this show is truly amazing. The first time I've said that about something Star Wars in a long time.
Between the manifesto and the mother's speech. This was done very similarly to V for vendetta. And I loved it.
I was speechless the entire runtime. The fact that this show made TWELVE episodes and each episode was just as intriguing and gripping as the last. Can't wait for season 2. I'm thinking maybe we could get Director Krennic in season 2, upset that the Death Star had to be stalled again because of the Narkina 5 breakout. Could bring better context to when Krennic is upset about it in Rouge One too. Regardless, love the reaction and the channel. Stone and Sky!
Krennick ran the program for the Death Star that killed him.
Cassian built the parts for the Death Star that killed him.
"It's a big galaxy..." no truer words have been spoken! So many storylines and types have room. As a fan of Star Wars, yes!
HOLY EFF what a season
The Mandalorian, The Ninth Jedi anime episode, and Andor are all doing it for me.
Great reaction as always you two! 🥰
I teared up through the Nemik Manifesto 😢, WEPT through Maarva’s speech 💔😭… that tension build up and the ensuing battle, just wow! I’m still in awe of it all!
Amazing series. Enthralled by it all!
As you said possibly the best SW content so far.
We’ve always seen the saga through (super) heroic eyes so the Empire always looked clumsy & bumbling. Finally we get content through the citizens eyes and The Empire is absolutely terrifying!
“There is a wound that won’t heal at the center of the galaxy. There is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us. We let it grow, and now it’s here. It’s here, and it’s not visiting anymore. It wants to stay. The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness. It is never more alive than when we sleep….
….But I’ll tell you this, if I could do it again, I’d wake up early and be fighting these bastards from the start
FIGHT THE EMPIRE!” ✊🏽
- Maarva Carassi Andor
P.S. I knew the Empire wouldn’t just waste prisoners and therefore used them to build parts for the DS.
Excellent series! So many great moments and monologues!
the irony of Cassian building parts for the Death Star that will end up killing him in 5 years
Fight the Empire! If that finale didn't get you fired up then your already a brick lol Absolutely amazing season we got, loved every single detail of it. Masterful writing and story telling and the visuals were glorious. I love this type of star wars and i do hope we will see more shows or movies with the maturer darker tones this has but also agree there is more than enough room in the galaxy to explore many genre's . Great review as always guys
Oh my god, that funeral flute leifmotif. It's turned up a HEAP of times, just a flicker, in other bits of music earlier in the series.
The whole season, everyone's lives and experience, was building up to this.
