I love how Disney made this series to plug up a plot hole in "A New Hope" and instead made random side characters have a way more interesting backstory than some of the main characters.
Mon Mothma, someone I’d be proud to follow. As much as the Rebellion needed Luthen Rael’s schemes and Saw Gerrera relentlessness, they also needed a strong heart and a clear purpose.
Then you are a fool. Mom milfma represented everything wrong with the republic. The bureaucracy the corruption the hiding away of things tat were unpleasant while hiding away in the ivory towers of a planet that produced nothing and consumed all the resources of other worlds.
Mon Mothma is such a cool character. She was a good friend of Bail and Padme, a founder and leader of the Rebellion. It's also tragic that she's the only one who survived, her friends who helped her lead and fight were gone during the time of the Original Trilogy, when the Rebellion and Empire were fighting the most(in terms of battles). The utter relief and sorrow she must have felt when all that fighting ended. The Rebellion won, but out of the original 3 who started it, she's the only one who got to see the downfall of the Empire.
Thanks mate! I can’t agree more. If there is one scene i’d love to see in Season 2, it’s the climax of her arc : her speech in the Senate - against the Emperor in person. It might be too much to ask, but dang it would be epic! Then she leaves like a badass, and her theme plays out (like at 2:00)
Great editing. Thanks to Andor (and Genevieve), Mon Mothma is now one of my favourite characters in all of Star Wars. I'm so pleased that her version of Mon Mothma is crossing into the other Star Wars projects as well; it makes them seem more "classy" :)
0:42 Damn, this part goes both ways after Andor. It felt different now. At first, it was meant specifically to Padmé to never tell this rebellion idea to anyone she knows, including Anakin. And in Andor, Mon Mothma can't even tell it to her family and even her trusted friend (Tay Kolma). She has to keep it vague. Talk about consistency with the original lore, even when the scene was deleted in the final cut.
this is like my 100th time watching this, and i get goosebumps every time. Like especially where she cries at the end, it shows how no one will truly understand all the work and sacrifice she had made for freedom.
C’est bien vrai ! Pour être honnête, j’ai toujours trouvé qu’il y avait un potentiel inexploité derrière ce personnage, et la revoir dans Andor était l’une de mes plus grosses hypes. Vraiment hâte de la suivre dans la Saison 2, comme principale protagoniste, aux côtés de Cassian :)
Very nice. It’s always good to see edits for characters who don’t often get them. I particularly like towel you kind of manufactured her looking out over the celebration at the end of return of the Jedi. In a way, there’s almost works like a trailer or foreshadowing what we can expect from season two. We can generally imagine that something bad happens to mothma’s family but we don’t know what.
I’m glad you noticed what I tried to do here ;) The shot we had of Coruscant in ROTJ is in fact through Mon’s eyes, it’s my headcanon now ^^ There is a glimpse of the S2 trailer 4:06
@@0RY0NIt’s an incredible edit. But in my headcanon I’m gonna say she was on Coruscant watching an anniversary celebration and thinking about all that she had been through. I think Coruscant was still pretty locked down immediately after Endor (which is why George showing celebrations on the planet at the end of ROTJ kind of made me laugh a little bit, didn’t make sense)
INCREDIBLE edit, I love the way you're created this portrait of her, and I'm in absolute awe at the video/audio quality, the crispness of editing, the way you've subtly adjusted the coloring to make these clips from so many different shows work perfectly in visual harmony with each other... beautiful!!! edit: looking at this again and you SOMEHOW LIPSYNCED NON-ANDOR QUOTES TO ANDOR VIDEO.... I'M IN AWE
Exactly! We want well written characters period. The strength and tension of Mon Mothma's scenes on Andor are some of Star Wars' absolute best! Genevieve has such a passion, grace, and class when even speaking about the character and she deserves to have more roles in Hollywood. Everything that they did on the Acolyte was such an embarrassment in comparison. Even their press junket was some of the worst I've ever seen.
I love how they’ve taken a deep dive into the other side of the rebellion the fights were dangerous and nice to watch but the true dangerous fight was mon mothma and others who stayed in the senate undercover. Andor last episode she sent her daughter away for safety agreeing to marriage proposal
Tony Gilroy really made me care about so many characters and events I really did not like at all. Andor is the best Star Wars live action show. Everyone is so good and compelling. I never thought I would love Mon Mothma
Folks need to read her post-ROTJ arc in legends. She was incredible. I feel like the Aftermath/Bloodline books (and so far, the 1 ep of Ahsoka) are doing her dirty.
@@kubli365 No, she's literally made the New Republic weak by demilitarizing it and not dealing with the pro-Imperial elements in canon. She's functionally the reason the New Republic dies.
I'm glad she's getting more recognition. For all the heroes in the front lines, the spys & the labor force - all of that is nothing without a good leader. She was the rebellion made manifest.
I remember reading that George Lucas originally planned more political intrigue for the prequels, as I get older I think this was less of a bad idea if executed like this. Right as I was losing interest in Space Super Heroes, they bring stuff like this.
Let's not make this about a lesser character haha. Mon Mothma successfully went from a long-time and frequently appearing though never all that interesting characters to probably the best character in arguably the best Star Wars show
Been feeling pretty anti- Disney star wars lately. Quite a few disappointments. But coming back to it, you know what they got right? They got Mon f**king Mothma right. They did her solid. They got the actress whose scene was deleted in revenge of the Sith, and brought her back not only as a voice actress but as a fleshed out character in one film and two separate shows. Good on them.
Shame we will only get oneore season instead of what was supposed to be I think 5? In any case the most intriguing person I'd be looking forward to learning about the most is Luthen. Maybe depending on how the disc version sells, Disney might reconsider greenlighting another season or two.
Instead of being inspired by her, she made Vel and Cinta a lesbian couple in this show. I genuinely believe she's the one who add that to the story, and Tony Gilroy was pushed to allow that since he has been given the privilege of creative freedom by Kathleen. This is definitely her thing.
I mean, it's politics. You take every best chances you've got when in times of urgent like this. She has to secure her money safely before her account got caught by the empire. She has no choice but to sacrifice her daughter to do an arranged marriage with a son of a thug she doesn't trust. The same thing that she did when she was young (15 y.o.) and now being trapped with her husband that she doesn't love. Even Vel warned her that this could be a bad idea.
So is embezzling money during increasing anti-corruption sweeps to fund the purchase of highly illegal weapons and space vessels of war. The rebellion asks the impossible of everyone. But to take the Empire out, there isn't any better option.
Mon Mothma was power hungry. Dont be fooled by her presence. She played her husband and many senators. She talks ill of a senator chancellor and Emperor while puting up a mask to others manipulating and scheming behind the scenes. Instead of a Emperor the Galaxy would get a ruthless lying Empress. Wel done Mon Mothma you have played everyone. Long live Sheev Palpatine of the noble House of Naboo First Galactic Emperor and Ruler of the Galaxy.
Andor singlehandedly turned Mon Mothma into one of tge most complex and intriguing sw characters. I love her so much
Agree. This show made her one of my most favorite characters, aside from Obi, Anakin, and especially Ahsoka (the big obvious three lol 😂)
I love how Disney made this series to plug up a plot hole in "A New Hope" and instead made random side characters have a way more interesting backstory than some of the main characters.
Love how padme, organa, and mon Mothma kept fighting for what is right till the end
Three great examples of the force not being the only thing that makes someone powerful in Star Wars
Both leia organa and her father
How sad that out of the three of them Mon Mothma was the only one who lived to see the New Republic be born again
@@emilylucas2217super sad but realistic 😭
@@georgehunt7187love this comment!
Man in Andor they really went dived down into the Rebellion and how the Empire works in.
Mon Mothma is amazing. Gilroy and Genevieve O'Reilly really brought her to life.
She’s so wonderful!! What an incredible actor. I really hope we get to see her in more and more stuff (Star Wars or otherwise)!

The music that comes with her character is so addictive for me.

good to see a beautiful, well-made edit for a character that isn't always in the forefront. fantastic job as usual!
Thanks mate! ;)
Andor has made Mon Mothma so real. How she has had a target on her back for so long. How she can't trust even her husband. Even her driver is a plant.
Great editing. Thanks to Andor (and Genevieve), Mon Mothma is now one of my favourite characters in all of Star Wars. I'm so pleased that her version of Mon Mothma is crossing into the other Star Wars projects as well; it makes them seem more "classy" :)
Randomly thought of how much more interesting Mon’s character was made through Andor, so searched up her name and I’m not disappointed. Great edit!

Imma keep it real with you chief, mothma a baddie
this is an S tier edit and the low view count is a crime
Aha, thank you very much ! Very appreciated
This was a very lovely compilation.
This was beautiful. Thank you kindly!
I love how Andor worked with all characters
Parfait !
Si peu de tribute pour ce personnage largement sous-estimé, merci !!!

How am I just seeing this now!
Due to Andor, I love Mon Mothma!
This is Excellent!
back again for a rewatch and aughhhh that black-and-white bit with leida at the end always DESTROYS me
Good Guuuuuud!
I love this edit. It’s so nice having more “I can’t wait to see this character again” moments happen more and more with Star Wars.
Mon is like the Ultimate Woman!Like Boss Mode with so much finesse- you have no idea she’s smuggling weapons! ❤
this is how you write an epic female characters

Thanks mate :)
nice vid man! very well done - describes her so well!
Thanks man !
Epic and Beautiful
Great job!
would love to see a season just with her

Mon Mother
If she ever looked at me like that I would FOLD🫠🥴
Despite all talk of sacrifice, her friends all die but she becomes chancellor of the new republic

When Star Wars becomes the new Star Trek.
can you do the same for leia please ? 🙏
I hope they squeeze Jobin into the NuCanon.
She was great for they rebellion plus i wish they new republic was not weak tho but had know she had reasons
ich finde die Szene echt schrecklich, in der Mon Mothma ihre Tochter "verkauft"
Moira overwatch
Moira
La madre del comunismo intergalactico
Why isnt Kathleen "inspired" by this woman yet?
Is Mon mothmas politics too strong for her taste? 😂
Instead of being inspired by her, she made Vel and Cinta a lesbian couple in this show.
I genuinely believe she's the one who add that to the story, and Tony Gilroy was pushed to allow that since he has been given the privilege of creative freedom by Kathleen.
This is definitely her thing.
Trusting Tay is a bad idea.

This is just a goodwilled joke don't worry
Mon Mothma was power hungry. Dont be fooled by her presence. She played her husband and many senators.
She talks ill of a senator chancellor and Emperor while puting up a mask to others manipulating and scheming behind the scenes.
