May 8May 8 As a big French Revolution fan, Ghorman was basically space Les Mis and I loved it so much. I can’t wait to rewatch
May 8May 8 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. That’s the old Hispanic Star Wars joke.There were 2 Mexicans in Star Wars.Chewie and Manuel “Manny” Bothans.
May 8May 8 I thought that architecture looked kind of familiar....the three bridges in Dallas are Calatrava

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.
May 8May 8 Getting ready for next week's finale with this purchase. Will throw this on Wednesday night.

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. Edited May 8May 8 by mdmost

May 8May 8 How much fucking Kalkite do they need to coat the lenses? Seems like the amount to wreck a whole planet is a bit excessive.

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.
May 8May 8 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. 😉

May 9May 9 S2 E8 & E9 were easily the best Star Wars media since the original trilogy. Absolutely incredible! Sad we only get 3 more episodes

May 9May 9 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.
May 9May 9 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.

May 9May 9 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.

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.

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. https://ew.com/andor-star-kyle-soller-reacts-syril-fate-explosive-episode-8-11727020 Quote 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.
