April 30Apr 30 I can't imagine how many hundreds or even thousands of words of erotic fan fiction about Dedra have been written since 6pm here in Austin. But next time I open up my word processor, I'll do a word count and let you know.

It's gotta be a rebel spy who goes deep undercover who whisks her to safety after she is blamed for a certain massacre, and he spends weeks at hyperspace trying to convince her that deep down she's a good person. Well, at least in one of the stories, maybe in others it might be some rebel spy she is interrogating, and he convinces her to free him and go on the run with him. Well, shit, there's a lot of stories....out there on the internet.
April 30Apr 30 The amount of times Uncle Harlo gets mentioned and the fact he has an ISB record leads me to believe there is something more to that “connection”

April 30Apr 30 I will think of you all when I'm getting sued for copyright infringement over '50 Shades of Imperial Gray'.

April 30Apr 30 also I am terrified of 7-9. Not watching any previews, just a feeling with what happened in 4-6 I might need to take off work next Wednesday and schedule therapy
April 30Apr 30 Bit of a yey boo on 6 with the doctor and Cinta. Glad Bix can sleep again. The viewing scene was pretty damn tense. Kleya is a stealth hottie. The Ghormans are f'ing dumbasses that are the perfect cannon fodder for Luthen. Ghorman is Star Wars France? Correct me if I'm wrong on Wilmon. He was using a piece of tech that poisons air? They were pumping poison into the Imperial base or was it stealing fuel? The Mon vs Krennic stuff was incredible. The world building is just top notch. Some good easter eggs in this one. D'Qar was the Resistance planet in The Force Awakens. The Tarkin Massacre on Ghorman is discussed but not shown. I was under the impression it happened in this timeline. So now we're getting a 2nd Ghorman massacre. Bail Organa was recast because Jimmy Smits couldn't make it work with his schedule. https://ew.com/andor-creator-recasting-bail-organa-star-wars-benjamin-bratt-11721954 Edited April 30Apr 30 by mdmost

Explains why Saw needs the breathing apparatus by R1 - he’s legit just huffing fumes
April 30Apr 30 I’ll go back and read the rest, but goddamn….the end of 5??? I could watch that on loop for weeks. This is an absolute masterpiece.

April 30Apr 30 Spoiler Did Luthen send Vel and Cinta to Ghorman hoping they would both die to light a fire under Mon Motha since Vel was her cousin?
April 30Apr 30 Episode 6 was top notch intensity. You knew someone was going to die but I didn't think it would be that person

You don't need spoilers. He sent Vel to get the Ghormans down the path to rebellion that Cassian wouldn't sign off on. Vel wanted Cinta on the mission or she wouldn't do it. Luthen knows Vel is a true believer and wouldn't hesitate to do the mission if it could be pulled off. We're assuming "the accident" Cinta was in was killing Tay in his car?

April 30Apr 30 Riveting TV. Absolutely love it. As with anything, you can find stuff to nitpick, but the tension and significance to almost every line of dialogue is incredible. The Ghorman heist was doomed from the outset, but once Cassian left I thought for sure both Vel and Sinta were done for. A little convenient, but still nice for Bix to get some satisfaction killing the torture doctor (Gorst?). Have to assume she isn’t surviving this series. She might just OD on the sleeping meds.

Also a little out of character that Luthen would assign something that loud in his own backyard. But obviously it's time to start making some bigger moves, especially if it means having a focused Bix and an unburdened Andor. Edited April 30Apr 30 by aggie08

April 30Apr 30 I thought Cassian was an idiot for making that Bix statement to Luthen and figured it would end up with her dead (still may) so that was a nice resolution. Luthen seeing the benefit of a Ghorman genocide and pulling strings that may or may not lead there is so terrible/brilliant.

April 30Apr 30 I always assumed that Saw's breathing apparatus in Rogue One was due to some kind of battle injury or something, not that he was a junkie huffing fuel

We're assuming "the accident" Cinta was in was killing Tay in his car? I assumed the same about "the accident", in that she crashed the transport to make it look like an accident instead of just outright assassinating Tay which would have drawn attention

The resemblance is there, but big nah We probably wouldn't see her, if we did, until the last set of episodes (BBY 1), but I hope we don't see her at all. We don't need to Edited April 30Apr 30 by Js1
April 30Apr 30 Turn out the lights - Dedra That cracks me up. And the “this is the best day of my life” from Syril got me to actually lol.
April 30Apr 30 So good.Your seeing the darker side of Luthen more and more. His methods are just as dark as the ISB… Both sides are using Ghorman’s “resistance” as a spark. Both are pouring gasoline on it and nudging the Ghorman Front to act rashly.And Saw as the anarchist/terrorist/pirate rebel cell is really intense. That was a really interesting moment while Wilamon was cracking the girl line code to have Saw being charismatic, drawing Wilamon into his vision of rebellion. And fuel huffing! Lol Damn there was some tension and looming doom being laid down heavy this arc.

We don't need to IMO, it would be a major disservice to even show one of the 3 currently alive Skywalkers in Andor, much less a "Surprise! One has been in the room with us this whole time!" This shit isn't about them, for once. It's about normal people finding the courage to lift up the boot that they've been living under (obvious CR messaging in Episode 4 is obvious). Besides, Darth and Leia already got their cameos in Rogue One. Edited April 30Apr 30 by aggie08
April 30Apr 30 On the Leia thing, she’s not in hiding. At this point she’s a princess work with her father. We’ve seen her about 3-1 BBY working with the Phoenix Squadron who was led by Bail Organa’s rebel cell
April 30Apr 30 Gilroy has talked about not really wanting to write legacy characters into the story. That's why you won't see Darth Vader or the Emperor in Andor. He didn't really have a choice in Rogue One since he needed Vader to always be lurking and then of course the great pay off at the end.
April 30Apr 30 Next week should be nutso. My guess is just about everyone dies except obviously Andor, Mon, and Krennic. I still hold to my prediction that Syril flips to the rebellion, even if it's his last dying act.
April 30Apr 30 Does Child Leia even make the Top 5 worst things about the Obi Wan series? It’s really close.

Man, I had my hopes up for the first 5 minutes before he revealed himself as a double agent, but I don't know anymore. Dude knows the empire is pumping out straight up dehumanizing propaganda about Ghorman to turn the galaxy against them. He knows that Ghorman is peaceful and that the Empire is breaking the law by building an armory in middle of the city. He knows he's entrapping the Ghorman resistance, so the Empire can politically justify doing some heinous, jackboot shit. The only thing being withheld from him is how heinous. And still, getting an "attaboy" from head ISB war criminal almost made him orgasm. I suppose seeing a little massacre/genocide up close and personal would change a man, even the biggest true believer.

How much imperial cruelty to innocents has he seen in person? I guess did see some on Ferrix. Or maybe Dedra ends up betraying him somehow. Either way it's always felt like his character has been constantly groomed to be sympathetic to the viewer. I feel like there's a reason for that.
April 30Apr 30 4 minutes ago, NorthLoop said: Or maybe Dedra ends up betraying him somehow. The convo with her and Partagaz made me thinks this happens and Syril turns. That she betrays him or allows him to be collateral damage if needed to further the ISB's agenda and he realizes her/The Empire are ruthless enough to let him die to achieve their goals.
