What I love about Andor is that after a thousand years of Sith planning, of the Sith gathering allies, moving pawns, infiltrating the Old Republic, after all the manipulation Palpatine used in engineering wars and crisises with which to finally destroy the Jedi Order and assume power, after all the contingencies Palpatine set up to contain potential threats from Force Sensitives, the one thing that Palpatine woefully underestimated was the sheer will and defiance of normal, everyday people who gave everything to fight the Empire. He, in his arrogance assumed that only his only serious threats were Force Sensitives like the Jedi, he completely ignored people like Saw Gerrera, Luthen Rael, and Mon Mothma who forged a small but determined band of freedom fighters to oppose him. There's something great about the Sith being undone in part by people who made the conscious choice to abandon their fear.
You do fail to realize that while you did say was true about love a force sensitive did ruin his plans Luke Skywalker with the first Death Star Anakin Skywalker when he threw Palpatine off of the platform into the core of the Death Star
@@ingamingpc1634the rebellion wouldn't exist without the everyday people and leaders like the aforementioned ones above.

For every Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, they're are hundreds of Andor and Luthen, hidden heroes of the Rebellion. They fought and die in the shadow for the Rebellion to succeed, and it's a great parallel with the real world : In every righteous conflict and rebellion, for each figurehead, they are so many untold heroes who carried the fight, and contributed to the ultimate victory. And for these ones, no memorial, no ceremony, no gratitude.
Magnificent work. Whenever I'm asked, "which Star Wars character are you?", I always answer: one of a group of nameless Rebels on Hoth, gathered in a hangar listening to Leia's withdrawal instructions. There's not going to be a historical victory today --the goal is just getting everyone out safely. Leia doesn't sugarcoat her speech: she lays out expectations, sets timetables, and tells everyone to do their jobs and look out for one another. It's such a powerful scene --these are technicians, pilots, mechanics, supply chain and I.T. folks. No heroes, no legends, no magic space wizards with laser swords. Just... people. People who, for whatever personal reason, figured out which side they had to be on, and made the decision to fight for it, with their lives if necessary. Because that's what you DO when fascism is on your doorstep. This video captured that perfectly. Thank you for it!
I wathced this thinking about the Spanish civil war, what brave men and women, the anti-fascist rebels who fought against the Franco regime, which had US support. real heroes
Andor fueled a next level hatred in me against the Empire. The common people suffering, going through injustice and oppression, every character and their actors portrayed it well. Writing is top notch and I am ready to wait 2 more years or so if it means we will get another SW content as good as Andor
Honestly, not following the Skywalker Saga was what I'd been waiting on for years. There is so much more than Jedi and Sith to the galaxy, and while its fine to have stories about them, its not the only story I wanted focus on.
OMG the shot of Jin and Cassian hugging almost pretending to hug their deceased parents who inspired them just made me ugly sob. Feeling that rebellion spirit of their parents, saying Hello/Goodbye to them one last time, inside of their compatriots must've felt grand.
"I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong" played over Luke watching Anakin's body burn actually had me tearing up. Had to go hug my own Dad after that one. Well played
In a world of grimdark fantasy, we were lucky to be introduced to Luke Skywalker, who not only seeks out his evil father to forgive him, but turn him away from the dark path he's wandered most his life because he knows, deep down, even Darth Vader is worth saving.
It still blows my mind there are people who didn't like Andor for trivial reasons or because it 'didn't feel like Star Wars'. It's one of the best Star Wars media to be produced, it's astoundingly well written in it's own right, and it elevates all other Star Wars media. The fight against the Empire in the OT has so much more weight because of things like Andor and Rogue One.
Those that said “it didn’t felt like Star Wars” just wannabe heroes in story, while those who reference Andor are freedom fighters in mind, in heart and in acts.
To me it felt more like Star Wars than anything else released. It feels like that dirty, broken, tired and old futuristic world that the first movie introduced us to. I love watching the movies in order seeing everything go from crisp and shiny in the prequels to run down and rickety in the OT. Andor feels like it's part of the OT.
@@SWFT_edits Next: King Kong (Universal Studios). Just wanted to thank you for your work. Afterwards, would you like to do the Jurassic Park saga and MonsterVerse?
8:08 Omg I just realised the overlay over Cassian Andor is Maarva Andor and then the overlay over Jun Erso is of Galen Erso!! This is so perfect I'm crying
fuckity hell. 5:17 to 5:53 has got to be the most moving, emotional gripping editing that exists. the twin roars and then you hit those CLIMBs at absolutely perfect placements and on the 70th watch it still gives me full body goosebumps.
Andor is what SW can be when you don’t “appease” fans and give them what they want. Give us something like this and not just mindless callback and winks at the camera
Truly the greatest of Star Wars. The writing, the acting, the scenery, the messages. Everything. Andor is what every Star Wars anything should use as inspiration.
From everything I've seen, it's the SW fans the most who roll their eyes at all the mindless callbacks. It's "fan" directors and writers they've been hiring that just can't seem to help themselves from staying in nostalgia instead of creating good stories. We need good writers and directors who are not so in love with SW, but who are capable of taking the setting and elevating one step further.
Fans love Andor, and it has a lot of great easter eggs and callbacks - fits in perfectly. But it does it very subtle and the right way. Still, there are many genres possible in the SW universe. They don't all have to be what Andor was doing. There's room for a lot of different styles.
This was Beautiful. Andor is The Only Piece of Star Wars Media that made Me Want to Stand Up and Join The Rebellion. It shows You That The Empire wasn't Defeated by People like Luke Skywalker, Sure He definitely helped, But The Rebellion was formed by Regular People Standing Up Against an Evil System. People like Maarva and Nemik Inspiring Regular People to Stand Up and Fight is what makes This Show So Inspiring and So Good! Everything in This Show was just So Well Done, The Acting, The Writing, The Music The Character Arcs Everything is Just Brilliant!!! It's not just One of The Best Star Wars Shows, But One Of The Best Shows I've Ever Seen!!! 10/10!!!
WOW, so many great callbacks and subtext! That Nemiks last word is the same as K2‘s „Climb“ or Luke’s „I have to try“ (also Nemiks word) despite what Yoda told him. Absolutely amazing 🙌🏼
Jesus, this was *EXTRAORDINARILY* edited. You should be so proud of yourself/selves. This was so effective and moving. How do we get you an award for this? How the hell did you manage to compose this into something this seamless in the little time since Andor’s finale!?!
I couldn't say it better than this comment so I'll just reply here and say holy shit you deserve some award for this! I keep coming back when I need a hit of Andor but don't want to watch the whole show lol. Amazing work. Thank you!
@@brianlutz7813 I might sound hyperbolic but if the second season is as good as the first I genuinely will think this is one of the best pieces of fiction ever written and produced.
This is pure brilliance. The core of Star Wars - as much as I love Jedi vs Sith, lightsabers and the rest - is really the resistance of an outnumbered and desperate good against an entrenched and vastly powerful evil. That is what makes it more than a children’s story, that is what makes it timeless and transcendent and important. I hope someday it will have done with lesser things and go back to being this.
I think that when all is said and done, when people look back at star wars as a whole, the rebellion saga (i.e. Andor, rogue one, rebels and the original trilogy, jedi fallen order) will always be some of the most memorable stories we've experienced in modern times. under-equipped, under-manned freedom fighters standing up to a behemoth tyrant will always make raw, emotional, inspirational and powerful journeys. And this is an amazing masterpiece of a tribute that suits the best of star wars , great job.
Beautiful. Managing to tie in Andor, Rogue One, Mandalorian, the OT and even the sequels so well together is an achievement in itself. Brought tears to my eye
This. Is. Legendary. I've been waiting so long for a quality tribute for the rebellion in general. The original trilogy, Andor, and Rogue One have all leaded up to this. Love this editing my friend!
@@preciousotoakhia9789 the same can be said to andor, or luthen, or mon mothma, the point of this video is that rebellion is not an act of single individual it's a movement carried by people that have a single goal, this is why I love andor so much, it's tells a story of these unsung heroes of the rebellion, even nemik have a great role to the fall of the empire.
@@preciousotoakhia9789 even in his timeline everybody is not believing that the empire could be defeated but it does defeated, again the rebellion is not one person that's why they call it rebel alliance, if luthen was there in mandalorian timeline it's not guarantee because it's depend on how many people join the cause
Seeing Luke at 6:14 really made me hold back a sudden welling emotion. We’re so lucky to have Star Wars, a tale of rebellion against oppression wrapped up in a fun and deep story with so many angles and perspectives. It truly is the greatest thing.
5:00 onwards is purely incredible! Way better than the majority of film trailers these days. Saws "save the dream" line always hit hard and this trailer increased that impact tenfold. I may like the Empire but these rebels had damn good reason to fight.
this is so incredibly stunning... "the dead lift me up" paralleled with "use the force, Luke".... there are so many more but holy shit this is absolutely brilliant !! thank you so much for sharing
One thing that Andor does so well is that it puts the metaphysical Force stuff into the everyday. Solidarity, community, brotherhood: that's the Force. It binds us together. It's a power greater than any weapon. It's us.
Oh my God, my face is full of tears. His work is wonderful. Andor and Rogue One took a new, rawer, more emotional, truer, and more visceral look at everything we understand Star Wars. And that is absolutely wonderful. Congratulations on the beautiful video. He summed up everything I felt watching these two works. Hugs and love from Brasil.
My favourite era of Star Wars is the Age of Rebellion! This video is a beautiful tribute to not only the Rebellion but also Rogue One and Andor which imo are among some of the most underrated Star Wars stories. Excellent work!
thanks for making me cry again almost as hard as I did at the end of Rogue one and Andor. No but seriously, this was beautifully done, masterful edit, a perfect compilation of everything Andor meant to portray and what the Rebellion stood for. It's amazing how this show, that I wasn't expecting all that much from, made me see Rogue one and the original trilogy in a whole new light. Those movies have always been my favorite from the franchise but now Andor made me have an even deeper appreciation for all those characters and what they fought for. I need more of this, more of these edits and just from the star wars franchise in general.
The Past, Present, Future structure to this montage is incredibly well done, and using Luthen's monologues as structure alongside Rogue One, Andor, and a bit of Mandalorian footage was truly inspired. Truly my favorite part is the opening Past segment with the Vangelis-inspired Bladerunner/Dune soundtrack overlaying the harsh architecture prevalent in Andor's first season. Excellent video, friend, excellent video.
This video sums up all the things that make Andor and Rogue one the first and only shows that can really match the original trilogy, and in some aspects, even surpass ist ... a masterpiece ... I find myself searching for Andor on youtube like every day to get some more snippets like this ... to shorten the waittime till season two. I'm dying for it. For the Rebellion!! ONE WAY OUT !!! (=> Season 2)
Luke looking on at Vader's body seeing only Anakin with that quote "I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong" ...............wooooo you got me teared up
*"Fan the flame that freedom ignites."* *"To be free, you must have the courage to fight for it."* *"There is a beautiful freedom found in standing up for what is right."* *"To have freedom, someone must always pay the price."* *"When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw." - Nelson Mandela* *"Better to die fighting for freedom than be a prisoner all the days of your life." - Bob Marley* *"Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves." - Abraham Lincoln*
I am absolutely floored by how incredible it is. I sat slack jawed at my desk for a full 2 minutes before I realized the video had ended. Calling this editing impressive is a massive understatement!
Andor is like the early seasons of Game of Thrones.. awesome great dialogue.. no need for lightsabers, dragons or sci-fi noises.. just great acting and great writing. I am so glad I watched Andor.
Amazing. You have truly captured the heartbeat of rebellion against tyranny, standing against oppression and resistance against nearly insurmountable odds. A testament to what Andor achieved in illuminating the origins of the Rebellion and being the centrepiece of this.
You can treat Russia any way you want, but you simply have no idea how much the situation with the government of my country is similar to the Empire. Watching "Andor", I had goosebumps from how similar some moments are in the situation prevailing in my country now. For many, "Andor" is a masterpiece, as it is cinematic, dramatic and unlike typical "Star Wars". But for me it is a masterpiece not only because of that, but also because it is very relevant and topical for the people of my country. I cried at Maarva's speech, it is so relevant and heartbreaking. Maybe we don't have enough people like her
As a Polish we hate Russia because of our rival history. It is not your fault for the war. It is Governments war, Kremlins war. Not people's war. Sooner when the time comes.... your country will be free from torture and isolation.
You are damn right, man. I had exactly the same thought while watching Andor and Rogue1. Bad thing is that most of the people in average Russia (Not in major cities) supports the empire and the Darth Sidius in charge. I've been living near Seliger lakes for a while and talked much with regular people. And i know what i'm talking about. There is not much space for the Luten, Cassian and Mon Motma there. А жаль...
God…Andor is an absolute masterpiece. I still can’t believe that show came out to be the best piece of Star Wars media that’s come out post Disney acquisition, and in my opinion since the Original Trilogy. What makes it even better is that it was probably the least anticipated Star Wars project.
Hey, maybe watch The Clone Wars, The Mandalorian, play Fallen Order, read the High Republic-books and the 2015-Darth Vader-series, these are absolute masterpieces.
I really love this, a lot of andor, rogue one and some original trilogy content, and even Lando's line from the rise of skywalker, really a combination of every part of the rebellion
I just realized the Rebellion insignia is a rendition to the Jedi Order which is a raised up lightsaber. A lightsaber is an extension of The Force itself, fueled by kyber crystals which is a gift from The Force. Not only it is a tool of offense and defense, it is a beacon of hope and a guide to light the way. The Rebellion is a lightsaber. One has the tools to build it, you can either conceal it or show it, it will only need the right crystals, the right people and the right moment in order for it to ignite it and fight against the dark and give light to the galaxy. "The strongest stars have hearts of kyber."
Just want to say I'm feeling so heartened by all the comments and seeing how much this resonates with people still. And so it should - such important messages to get through in these dark times. And what a masterful piece of editing. Reminded me of why I've always loved Star Wars and tied things together in such a profound and moving way, drawing parallels I hadn't seen before. Thank you for this and MTFBWY!
Your videos are so expertly cut. I've been watching them at least 10 times a day and they have reignited my love for Star Wars. Seriously if you don't make trailers as a living then the film industry is seriously missing out.

For every Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, they're are hundreds of Andor and Luthen, hidden heroes of the Rebellion.

I don't think that there should be hundreds of Luthens. He is more like a general of the early Rebelion. "Hundreds of Nemiks" is more accurate

The best love letter to Star Wars I've ever seen.
Literally wiping away tears as I say, out loud, "That's that good sh*t."
Bravo. A masterpiece.
quality comment on a quality edit
Vince McMahon be like
@@DavidTheBulldog
Who? 😅
for me its reciting every line that gets the tears rushing
The way this video was composed is just beautiful man... Hands down the best rebellion vid
thank you bro!
@@SWFT_edits Next: King Kong (Universal Studios). Just wanted to thank you for your work. Afterwards, would you like to do the Jurassic Park saga and MonsterVerse?
@@georgemorganwebb4302 Haven't seen any of those films, but if I ever will I'll see if I might do something with them. :)
Did you see how they linked K2 and Nemik? "Climb!"
"Everything I did, I did, for the Rebellion." Fucking love it.
The way you included the two times Cassian is told climb back to back hit so hard
8:08 Omg I just realised the overlay over Cassian Andor is Maarva Andor and then the overlay over Jun Erso is of Galen Erso!! This is so perfect I'm crying
fuckity hell. 5:17 to 5:53 has got to be the most moving, emotional gripping editing that exists. the twin roars and then you hit those CLIMBs at absolutely perfect placements and on the 70th watch it still gives me full body goosebumps.
When Andor asks: “do you think anyone’s listening?” I wonder how many people realized that was the writer asking about us?
I love andor and I just realized this now
Fantastic. This is the Star Wars I’ve wanted since 1977.
You bet your ass !!!!
I never thought about the climb connection now I have the feels
Andor is what SW can be when you don’t “appease” fans and give them what they want. Give us something like this and not just mindless callback and winks at the camera
Truly the greatest of Star Wars. The writing, the acting, the scenery, the messages. Everything. Andor is what every Star Wars anything should use as inspiration.
It's not unreasonable to say that Star Wars fans are the biggest detriment to Star Wars media.
From everything I've seen, it's the SW fans the most who roll their eyes at all the mindless callbacks. It's "fan" directors and writers they've been hiring that just can't seem to help themselves from staying in nostalgia instead of creating good stories. We need good writers and directors who are not so in love with SW, but who are capable of taking the setting and elevating one step further.
Fans love Andor, and it has a lot of great easter eggs and callbacks - fits in perfectly. But it does it very subtle and the right way. Still, there are many genres possible in the SW universe. They don't all have to be what Andor was doing. There's room for a lot of different styles.
If Tony Gilroy listened to fans who want to 'keep politics out of it", he wouldn't have made this.
This was Beautiful. Andor is The Only Piece of Star Wars Media that made Me Want to Stand Up and Join The Rebellion. It shows You That The Empire wasn't Defeated by People like Luke Skywalker, Sure He definitely helped, But The Rebellion was formed by Regular People Standing Up Against an Evil System. People like Maarva and Nemik Inspiring Regular People to Stand Up and Fight is what makes This Show So Inspiring and So Good! Everything in This Show was just So Well Done, The Acting, The Writing, The Music The Character Arcs Everything is Just Brilliant!!! It's not just One of The Best Star Wars Shows, But One Of The Best Shows I've Ever Seen!!! 10/10!!!
WOW, so many great callbacks and subtext! That Nemiks last word is the same as K2‘s „Climb“ or Luke’s „I have to try“ (also Nemiks word) despite what Yoda told him. Absolutely amazing 🙌🏼
The only missed opportunity I spotted was in not using Cassian's "Climb" from when he and Meshi were on the cliff.
"It's like poetry. It rhymes"
Kino's call for the prisoners to climb could be used as well tbh, but it is a really small part in a bigger speech.
broke: Do or do not, there is no try.
woke: Remember this: try.
@@YodatheHobbit and Kino Loy saying it in his speech
Jesus, this was *EXTRAORDINARILY* edited. You should be so proud of yourself/selves. This was so effective and moving. How do we get you an award for this? How the hell did you manage to compose this into something this seamless in the little time since Andor’s finale!?!
Thank you for such kind words!
I couldn't say it better than this comment so I'll just reply here and say holy shit you deserve some award for this! I keep coming back when I need a hit of Andor but don't want to watch the whole show lol. Amazing work. Thank you!
@@jamescook2199 Its time you watch it! Its the best star wars story told. Everything about it is perfect!
I loved the two shots of K2SO and Nemik bothe shouting "climb!!"
"Wouldn't you rather give it all at once? For something real?"
It’s been a while, Andor was crazy. Honestly the best written Star Wars show. Also congrats on 15k!!
thank you! :)
I mean, its way beyond the best written Star Wars show. It's one of the best written shows period.
@@brianlutz7813 its only 1 season so far, let’s hope they don’t mess it up
@@brianlutz7813 I might sound hyperbolic but if the second season is as good as the first I genuinely will think this is one of the best pieces of fiction ever written and produced.
@@ulyssesharpe7487 I am STOKED beyond belief for season 2. Praying its just as good and doesn't try to just ride the coattails of season 1
This is pure brilliance. The core of Star Wars - as much as I love Jedi vs Sith, lightsabers and the rest - is really the resistance of an outnumbered and desperate good against an entrenched and vastly powerful evil. That is what makes it more than a children’s story, that is what makes it timeless and transcendent and important.
I hope someday it will have done with lesser things and go back to being this.
7:07 Omg that edit is so perfect
8:08 one of the most beautiful scenes I've seen ever!!!
I think that when all is said and done, when people look back at star wars as a whole, the rebellion saga (i.e. Andor, rogue one, rebels and the original trilogy, jedi fallen order) will always be some of the most memorable stories we've experienced in modern times. under-equipped, under-manned freedom fighters standing up to a behemoth tyrant will always make raw, emotional, inspirational and powerful journeys.
And this is an amazing masterpiece of a tribute that suits the best of star wars , great job.
Everything happened so return of the Jedi could become a reality
The saga's heart beats strong.
Beautiful. Managing to tie in Andor, Rogue One, Mandalorian, the OT and even the sequels so well together is an achievement in itself. Brought tears to my eye
This. Is. Legendary. I've been waiting so long for a quality tribute for the rebellion in general. The original trilogy, Andor, and Rogue One have all leaded up to this. Love this editing my friend!
Without Luke rebellion would have failed and everything would have being for nothing
@@preciousotoakhia9789 the same can be said to andor, or luthen, or mon mothma, the point of this video is that rebellion is not an act of single individual it's a movement carried by people that have a single goal, this is why I love andor so much, it's tells a story of these unsung heroes of the rebellion, even nemik have a great role to the fall of the empire.
@@blobs819901 if luthen was in Mando timeline would empire under thrawn be defeated since everyone believed defeating the empire was not possible
@@preciousotoakhia9789 even in his timeline everybody is not believing that the empire could be defeated but it does defeated, again the rebellion is not one person that's why they call it rebel alliance, if luthen was there in mandalorian timeline it's not guarantee because it's depend on how many people join the cause
Seeing Luke at 6:14 really made me hold back a sudden welling emotion. We’re so lucky to have Star Wars, a tale of rebellion against oppression wrapped up in a fun and deep story with so many angles and perspectives. It truly is the greatest thing.
*FOR THE REBELLION!!!!!!!*
For the Rebellion!
This is what we need to do to the WEF/NWO
For the rebellion
This deserves a million views. Everyone who values freedom should see it.
We continue to fight
5:00 onwards is purely incredible! Way better than the majority of film trailers these days. Saws "save the dream" line always hit hard and this trailer increased that impact tenfold.
I may like the Empire but these rebels had damn good reason to fight.
Still come back to this video all these months later.
Fucking class.
K2's "climb" followed by Nemik's was fucking heart wrenching. This is by far my favourite video I've ever found on UA-cam
Fight for Freedom, Fight for Hope, Fight for everyone 🙏💪
this is so incredibly stunning... "the dead lift me up" paralleled with "use the force, Luke".... there are so many more but holy shit this is absolutely brilliant !! thank you so much for sharing
One thing that Andor does so well is that it puts the metaphysical Force stuff into the everyday. Solidarity, community, brotherhood: that's the Force. It binds us together. It's a power greater than any weapon. It's us.
Without Luke Skywalker everything would have being for nothing
Oh my God, my face is full of tears. His work is wonderful. Andor and Rogue One took a new, rawer, more emotional, truer, and more visceral look at everything we understand Star Wars. And that is absolutely wonderful. Congratulations on the beautiful video. He summed up everything I felt watching these two works. Hugs and love from Brasil.
this is so beautiful. i really like it they expand the starwars universe from just jedi vs sith, and dark vs light to become people vs people.
All is dark vs light
It's about time the Rebel Alliance gets a legendary tribute! Well done!
Magnificent. This IS Star Wars
My favourite era of Star Wars is the Age of Rebellion! This video is a beautiful tribute to not only the Rebellion but also Rogue One and Andor which imo are among some of the most underrated Star Wars stories. Excellent work!
Fuck, when I saw this was 8 minutes long, I wondered how much you put into it. I didn't expect something this tightly woven! Well done!
This is so beautifully edited. This is truly the heart of humanity. The fight for liberty.
thanks for making me cry again almost as hard as I did at the end of Rogue one and Andor. No but seriously, this was beautifully done, masterful edit, a perfect compilation of everything Andor meant to portray and what the Rebellion stood for. It's amazing how this show, that I wasn't expecting all that much from, made me see Rogue one and the original trilogy in a whole new light. Those movies have always been my favorite from the franchise but now Andor made me have an even deeper appreciation for all those characters and what they fought for. I need more of this, more of these edits and just from the star wars franchise in general.
The Past, Present, Future structure to this montage is incredibly well done, and using Luthen's monologues as structure alongside Rogue One, Andor, and a bit of Mandalorian footage was truly inspired.
Truly my favorite part is the opening Past segment with the Vangelis-inspired Bladerunner/Dune soundtrack overlaying the harsh architecture prevalent in Andor's first season.
Excellent video, friend, excellent video.
How was Luthen sure the rebellion will win
That was more epic than most of the series, that's how you know it's a good edit.
God I Love Andor. It is just SO so good. I adored all of it and is my favourite star wars content, up there with Mando but even better imo.
This video sums up all the things that make Andor and Rogue one the first and only shows that can really match the original trilogy, and in some aspects, even surpass ist ... a masterpiece ... I find myself searching for Andor on youtube like every day to get some more snippets like this ... to shorten the waittime till season two. I'm dying for it. For the Rebellion!! ONE WAY OUT !!! (=> Season 2)
Luke looking on at Vader's body seeing only Anakin with that quote "I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong" ...............wooooo you got me teared up
*"Fan the flame that freedom ignites."*
*"To be free, you must have the courage to fight for it."*
*"There is a beautiful freedom found in standing up for what is right."*
*"To have freedom, someone must always pay the price."*
*"When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw." - Nelson Mandela*
*"Better to die fighting for freedom than be a prisoner all the days of your life." - Bob Marley*
*"Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves." - Abraham Lincoln*
I am absolutely floored by how incredible it is. I sat slack jawed at my desk for a full 2 minutes before I realized the video had ended. Calling this editing impressive is a massive understatement!
I literally cried, this is so well done
Andor is like the early seasons of Game of Thrones.. awesome great dialogue.. no need for lightsabers, dragons or sci-fi noises.. just great acting and great writing.
I am so glad I watched Andor.
Amazing. You have truly captured the heartbeat of rebellion against tyranny, standing against oppression and resistance against nearly insurmountable odds. A testament to what Andor achieved in illuminating the origins of the Rebellion and being the centrepiece of this.
Long live the rebellion now new republic
Man, who would have thought Taylor loved Star Wars so much, let alone could make such incredible videos about it.
This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.
You can treat Russia any way you want, but you simply have no idea how much the situation with the government of my country is similar to the Empire. Watching "Andor", I had goosebumps from how similar some moments are in the situation prevailing in my country now. For many, "Andor" is a masterpiece, as it is cinematic, dramatic and unlike typical "Star Wars". But for me it is a masterpiece not only because of that, but also because it is very relevant and topical for the people of my country. I cried at Maarva's speech, it is so relevant and heartbreaking.
Maybe we don't have enough people like her
As a Polish we hate Russia because of our rival history. It is not your fault for the war. It is Governments war, Kremlins war. Not people's war.
Sooner when the time comes.... your country will be free from torture and isolation.
@@phantomnat2002 It's not Kremlin who kills Ukrainians. The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness.
Had the same thought. Just as Calrissian said: we have each other.
And only by sticking together, eventually we can (and will eventually) defeat evil.
@@smoetje that is very much true
You are damn right, man. I had exactly the same thought while watching Andor and Rogue1. Bad thing is that most of the people in average Russia (Not in major cities) supports the empire and the Darth Sidius in charge. I've been living near Seliger lakes for a while and talked much with regular people. And i know what i'm talking about. There is not much space for the Luten, Cassian and Mon Motma there. А жаль...
Best Star Wars video on UA-cam.
This is CINEMA!! 👏👏👏
And the second season of Andor has yet to come out!!!
God…Andor is an absolute masterpiece. I still can’t believe that show came out to be the best piece of Star Wars media that’s come out post Disney acquisition, and in my opinion since the Original Trilogy. What makes it even better is that it was probably the least anticipated Star Wars project.
Hey, maybe watch The Clone Wars, The Mandalorian, play Fallen Order, read the High Republic-books and the 2015-Darth Vader-series, these are absolute masterpieces.
8:05 "I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong."
Holy shit. Perfect.
I really love this, a lot of andor, rogue one and some original trilogy content, and even Lando's line from the rise of skywalker, really a combination of every part of the rebellion
This is Work of Art!!!!
Fight the empire!
Holy f*cking shit what did i just watch? Oh god this thing is a pure masterpiece!!!
I'm so glad that Andor exists.
Such a clear and strong political speech against fascism and imperialism.
A flawless very real tribute to the rebellion, amazing job
“One way out”
This is a masterpeice that brought me to tears. Outstanding work my friend. Simply, outstanding.
I just realized the Rebellion insignia is a rendition to the Jedi Order which is a raised up lightsaber. A lightsaber is an extension of The Force itself, fueled by kyber crystals which is a gift from The Force. Not only it is a tool of offense and defense, it is a beacon of hope and a guide to light the way.
The Rebellion is a lightsaber. One has the tools to build it, you can either conceal it or show it, it will only need the right crystals, the right people and the right moment in order for it to ignite it and fight against the dark and give light to the galaxy.
"The strongest stars have hearts of kyber."
This is quite literally the best Star Wars edit i have ever seen, I’m in tears
This is a tremendous advertisement for Season 2. Fantastic job!
Just want to say I'm feeling so heartened by all the comments and seeing how much this resonates with people still. And so it should - such important messages to get through in these dark times. And what a masterful piece of editing. Reminded me of why I've always loved Star Wars and tied things together in such a profound and moving way, drawing parallels I hadn't seen before. Thank you for this and MTFBWY!
Can’t even tell you how many times I’ve watched this I can’t get enough of it
Your videos are so expertly cut. I've been watching them at least 10 times a day and they have reignited my love for Star Wars. Seriously if you don't make trailers as a living then the film industry is seriously missing out.
“Impressive, most impressive “-lord Vader .
*FOR THE REBELLION! 🔥*
