Star Wars: Andor

[Ryujin]

A head-butt? What does Storm Trooper armour even do?

Hold on through the credits for a stinger, that shows what they were building in the prison.

What do you think? Is Mon's husband truly gambling away a lot of money or was that disinformation to cover her illegal pro- rebel banking activities?

Oh, absolutely disinformation. She's in a corner and she's decided she'd rather sacrifice her husband than her daughter. But since the 'play-date' has gone ahead anyway, she may wind up sacrificing both.

Great episode. Nothing too flashy, all the action was gritty and realistic. An excellent way to end the series. Nice shout-out to the Rebel base on Dantooine.

Oh, and the Imperial officers allowing the holo-speech to go on as long as it did. And him running up to cover the holo-projector with a coat? lol If it were not Star Wars, the droid would have been blasted instead.

That's missing the point - this was all about the Empire working against itself, and all these individual acts of insurrection happening to come together.

Normally this wouldn't have worked - in fact, the entire funeral wouldn't have been allowed to take place. But the officers on the street are hamstrung by Dedra's instructions - they have to let the funeral play out until Cassian shows up, and they can't immediately use lethal methods because they need to take him alive.

I feel that it was one of the weaker episodes. I really didn't feel a lot of tension, and everything seemed a bit broadcasted from 2 scenes away. The camera kept panning over to one guy, and then he died and got a closeup too; was I supposed to remember him from an earlier episode? Once again, the Empire's ability to open fire on an unarmed crowd seems pretty weak.

Unfortunately for Mon, even if she’s turned against her world’s traditions, her daughter has completely bought into them, even going so far as to hold the equivalent of Bible study classes for her friends. She looked happy to be getting married off.

It's disinformation to cover her money transfers. In the first episode that introduces Mon Mothma, she makes a point to call out her new driver as probable spy. If it was true, she'd try to talk about it without prying ears.

Yes, I thought I remembered something like that...

So now that Syril has saved Dedra’s life, will we see him working for the ISB next season?
