I love how Cassian never really puts his hands in his head. He's always keeps them just a little bit off, like he's keeping a stance and ready to fight if needed.
@@TheDarkPorkins well thats different case, because he was hold in gunpoint, and just like what Cassian says in that moment "I don't want any surprised". Because Cassian know that Cops needs just a little slight moved or something to shot Cassian down. A reason to gun him down just like Cops in real life if you move a little bit there is 80% chance you get shot.
Back when all the disney plus shows were announced, kenobi, boba fett etc, who would've thought that Andor would top them all? Every week I'm waiting for a weak episode (most tv shows have them), but somehow it just keeps on going, each one better than the previous. Well done.
@@aamp84 At the end of the episode the doc says to Kino that they "killed them all". Besides, the way he says "I can't help him [Ulaf], I can't help anyone" is very telling.
the prison arc in ANDOR spells out the true evil of the Empire: A sadistic bureaucracy that couldn't care less about people's lives, willing to kill a hundred when they don't even need to kill one, brutal and clumsy. Desperate to invoke fear into everyone under their thumb yet fearful of those people to the point of panic.
Basically they have a hard time understanding the show because “good guy is good & bad guy is bad” is much easier to wrap their minds around then a realistic universe where everyone/thing is grey ish.
At the exact second that blackout occurred 100 men were pumped with so much electricity it caused the buildings lights and systems to power down. The bridges that witnessed it would have done so in total darkness. It’s likely the sheer amount of electricity sent through it disintegrated the men so there would have been complete darkness other than the bridge across from them lighting up brightly and then the bridge was empty. This is the closest thing to horror in star wars and I am here for it all the way.
The prison arc in Andor was astonishing, a piece of art. You feel everything like you're in there with them. Being sentenced to something for no reason, being worked to death, the lack of guards, of sunlight, of real food. The orders coming from the walls and the everlooming threat of the electric floors. Your friends either giving up and becoming mindless servants or loosing their mind. Even Andor's spirit seemed broken at some point. Everything in this arc makes you feel like a futuristic slave, helpless to do anything. Every scene in these episodes was filled with tension and despair. I was aching to see the moment they would revolt. I rooted for them like i was one of them. That's great cinema. This TV show is a masterpiece, leagues above anything starwars related. The empire in Andor is a hundred times scarier than any sith lord with a glowing sword and thunder at his fingertips.
I just realised that the reason the power went down was because they used up all the energy to electrify the entirety of level 2 at a lethal level. Wonder if they'll use that in their escape attempt.
Ahh I just realized that when the power goes out that's when they fried all of level 2. Small details like that are what really sell the show to me. Such good writing.
@@jarrodedson5441 I think the ESB is overvalued as "the top SW". I believe is considered like that based on pure shock value of the big reveal, but plot-wise has serious shortcomings.
This scene is amazing at communicating the panic in the people recieving the messages. "Something's REALLY wrong on two" "They're going too fast I can't read it" The amazing tension created here, and you don't even SEE anybody die. Only a few moments after the lights come back on the announcer is demanding full facility compliance. "On Program. Feet down, face front, hands on heads. We will have immediate facility compliance or we will begin activating floors without warning". The sheer fear in the voice, despite weilding so much power, is palpable.
This show deserves much more recognition!!!!! If you read this and you haven't yet seen it, please give it a try. It's so good, it's so worth your time.
Didn't they, in this episode, use the dying screams of children whome they genocided as a form of torture against someone suspected of aiding rebel activity? This prison is real bad, but its not even the worst atrocity in this episode.
So I'm a little confused. Was level two killed because they had a guy sent to them that was supposed to be sent home after his sentence was up but in reality they just send them to a new level and level two realized the truth. Or was he supposed to be killed and was accidentally sent to a new level?
I confused too. I mean was the guy who got released and sent to level 2 the first one like that? Seems like if this was a common practice then the inmates would definitely tell the others they just got released but are sent back in.
@@Tom-Servo remember, the rules just changed with the passing of the PORD (Public Order Resentencing Decree) law. It is entirely possible that the prisoner on 4 and sent to 2 was the very first prisoner to be "released" since the new law.
@@Tom-Servo I think the people supposed to be released were sent not to another level but to another prison, filled with other "former inmates". Maybe something like a mine or another dangerous industry where they would die eventually. I think they needed to give the inmates a semblance of hope in this particular facility, so they would keep working on complicated stuff. They had access to tools, had to be very productive and such. You cant convice someone to do that if they know they are going to die here. The empire probably had other types of prisons were you could just force people to do simple stuff until they die. That's probably where the inmate from level two should have ended up. They just mixed up his papers and sent him back to the same prison by accident.
The Mandalorian started off as phenomenal television and then the quality tragically dipped season by season. Andor started off as phenomenal television and somehow got better and better episode by episode.
I love how Cassian never really puts his hands in his head. He's always keeps them just a little bit off, like he's keeping a stance and ready to fight if needed.
I noticed this as well. Very cool use of body language
Remember when he had his hands on his head in episode 1?

very nice catch
and then in the beginning of episode 10 he clenched them for the first time once him and Kino have decided to escape. Love that detail
Somehow this is one of the most tense scenes in the show yet nothing is actually happening. Beauty of Andor
Insanely good
Compare it to the showiness of Ahsoka and the complete lack of tension.

Ironically i was looking forward to this one the least. It's definitely exceeded my expectations compared to Book of Boba Fett and Obi Wan.
Funny because when Andor finished, Mandalorian season 3 was out and kid you not, it felt like I was watching a cartoon
Yeah even the Mandalorian. To me, Andor is way better than The Mandalorian, and I loved that as well.
Once I knew the same folks that did Rogue One were involved my hopes were high
The blackout is pretty disturbing after knowing what actually caused it.
What caused it
@@Deathworm-eg5lt a hundred men getting shocked to death at once.
@@AdhamOhm oh yeah I remember now
@@AdhamOhm did they say it was the whole floor, or just the group the guy was transferred to? I can’t remember

Andy Serkis got all those years mocapping building up his expressions to deliver this outstanding acting.

They give up after 1 episode.
This episode was so good it reminded me of a futuristic horror movie. It’s so eerie.
It reminds me of squid game and cube
Gave me strong THX-1138 vibes.

A bit late to this but they def were not disintigrated. Although the other bridges definately saw it happen

andy serkis needs more leading roles. my god the man is such an amazing actor
I'm amazed that Andy serkis hasn't been nominated for his amazing and incredible performances
Andor is the best STAR WARS ever made.

Wholeheartedly agreed.

I thought andor was going to be boring but it's been a masterpiece. It blows anything on Disney plus out of the water.
This whole show is like Black Mirror but with better writing. I love it.
Both contain likely warnings as to the near future. Great Reset New World Order, or imperial Empire. What’s the difference? Rebel.
This show has been amazing. It started off slow but got better with every episode. Seems to appeal to the more emotionally mature star wars fans tho

This whole "prison" has to be most horrible atrocity committed by the Empire.
they blew up a planet
AND there's probably hundreds of these prisons across the galaxy. Pretty bleak stuff.
Didn't they, in this episode, use the dying screams of children whome they genocided as a form of torture against someone suspected of aiding rebel activity? This prison is real bad, but its not even the worst atrocity in this episode.
@@snickims9717 oh yeah I forgot about that lol. That’s horrible as well
It's more like a death camp. One of millions propably.
It’s chilling to think when the lights shut down a 100 men just died.
If Andor lived through the sequel era do you think he'd hear Snoke's voice and be like "lol he sounds exactly like this one guy I met in prison."
Imagine Kyno being somehow caught and used to be a clone template for Palpatine's Necromancer program
Pure Kino
Amazing show
The best star wars project ever made!

The former.

"NO ONE... IS GETTING... OUT!"
0:48 if you look closely you can see that the hallway in level 2 is empty
I don't think that's level 2, if it were I don't think they'd need the hand signs to communicate what's going on if it were visible from there.
