Are we finally going to see how many bothans died???

It was one person, and ROTJ got it wrong, he was an X-Wing fighter pilot named Manuel Bothans, who died at the Battle of Scarif.

are we finally going to see what Bothans are?

Spoiler

As a big French Revolution fan, Ghorman was basically space Les Mis and I loved it so much. I can’t wait to rewatch

That’s the old Hispanic Star Wars joke.

There were 2 Mexicans in Star Wars.

Chewie and Manuel “Manny” Bothans.

I thought that architecture looked kind of familiar....the three bridges in Dallas are Calatrava

You could practically see Paris in the architecture when Andor leaves Ghorman.

I know, and I loved it.  I was fanboying Ghorman.  Everything about them- the architecture, the culture, the language.

Ok, but you have to admit that, after the 900 hundredth song/chant/speech/declaration/reminder about how special it is to be a Ghor, Imperial propaganda pretty much wrote itself. Uppity bastards should be miserable like the rest of us.

Jedi Master Soros is behind this false flag 

Getting ready for next week's finale with this purchase. Will throw this on Wednesday night.

This could've been really awesome but I think how K2SO was introduced with the others was for the best. Maybe give Dan Gilroy that Star Wars horror one shot.

Scaled back because of budget issues?

 

They spent gazillions building sets for the Ahdhani, Mon Mothma's house on Coruscent and mansion for the wedding, the entire Palmo plaza, senate building and other smaller spaces. The couldn't spare a few more million for CGI for a K2SO episode?

 

Actually, I'm sure they didn't build the set for some of the interiors (stairs, ramps, etc.) at the senate building. I wonder where they shot those.

The article talks about Iger coming back cut some of the budget and that ultimately it worked better for the story to have K2SO introduced on Ghorman as part of the massacre. Gilroy has mentioned before that while K2 is a fan favorite, he's not a fun narrative device because he's not easy to hide.

I think most of the Senate shots were the cultural building in Spain that also serves as the exterior shots. It's in the video Surly posted above.

How much fucking Kalkite do they need to coat the lenses? Seems like the amount to wreck a whole planet is a bit excessive.

1. That's no moon. It's a space station.

2. They make it clear several times that mining sufficient amounts of the stuff will leave no Ghorman left for the Ghor.

and

3. This isn't just lens coating. This is to power the whole thing.

4. They need enough to build another one of these fuckers a few years later. 😉

Great line from Mon's speech....."The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil."

Sorta reflects what we're seeing in real life in a way.....

S2 E8 & E9 were easily the best Star Wars media since the original trilogy. Absolutely incredible! Sad we only get 3 more episodes

But then we get endless rewatches of season 1 - season 2 - Rogue 1 

I’ve already rewatched all shows from Season 2. I’ll probably start a rewatch of the entire series and Rogue 1 once this finished next week. 

I'm not surprised about Syril's a crisis of conscience and I loved that he reverted back to "must kill Andor" as a base reaction in the middle of the shitstorm.  I'm really glad they didn't take his arc to the next level of him flipping to the rebellion.  It would have been too easy and many writers would have.

“Who are you?” had to be the worst possible thing to say to him in that moment. So brutal.

Yeah, it was perfect. His mind spinning that everything he ever believed is a lie, and that he's been manipulated at every step by the Empire and someone he thought loved him...but seeing Andor was what finally caused him to rage out, blaming him most of all for how his pointless life turned out.

And then to get gunned in the head by the one guy on Ghorman who didn't want to fight when you were on the cusp of getting even with the person who wronged you.

He was lowering the gun when he got shot. I think it would have been a great turn for his character. Imagine Sgt Mosk and him reuniting within the rebellion.

I read it as more of a "I just don't fucking care about anything anymore" gun lowering than a "I realize now that I'm on the wrong side of things and you're the good guy, so I should let you live and help you" gun lowering.

ooops I got lost lol

I just don’t think he had it in him to shoot someone, face to face.

He was in shock according to the actor. I love his suggestion that if he wasn't shot, Syril probably just would've walked away while realizing his life meant nothing.

What's going through his mind when he lowers that blaster? It’s almost like he’s in a daze or something.

I think after everything that Syril has experienced in episode 8 — which is massive, it's mind-blowing, it's earth-shattering — the whole veil has been lifted. And then his sort of ultimate obsession, being Cassian, not validating him, I think he's completely in shock.

And then at that point I thought, “Well, what if he didn't then get blasted? What would happen?” I figured, “Oh, he'd just wander away. He'd probably just wander away.” I mean, those three words just completely diffuse Syril, and he feels like a no one, like a nobody. He hasn't made a difference. Everything has been a lie. I thought maybe he'd go find a mountain somewhere just to kind of make clothes or something. I don't think that he would swap sides. I don't think he would stay doing what he was doing. I mean, yeah, it's really an unknown.

Welcome to the rebellion

I’m trying to think what to compare that too. A tv version of the opening of Saving private Ryan?
