I would’ve been fine with this being kept. You could use dark side sorcery as some sort of explanation. Maybe Palpating disguised himself for certain transmissions in case someone not in the know walks in.

#

Or just accept it’s the same character and just looks kinda different because it’s different actor/makeup whatever

I’m starting to think maybe they were never really friends

I saw someone complain that Andor makes the sequels worse because all of that is for nothing now

But looking at the real world.. it’s not that far off

forest quest
#

Andor makes A New Hope worse because everyone on Alderaan fuckin’ dies so it’s all for nothing now

pure vale
#

What do you MEAN another bad guy came along after 30 years?! That’s impossible!!

thin raft
#

everyone knows that peace is eternal

#

there was only one war ever and once the bad guys were stopped everything was sunshine and rainbows

pure vale
#

And if, hypothetically there was, they would be related somehow. There’s only one bad family in the universe

#

The government they all sacrificed to create falls into pure corruption less than 5 years after its creation. And then it’s completely destroyed in a single blow by a big Death Star

#

Like, that just fucking sucks

#

I look at it through a Doctor Who lens

#

The Twelfth Doctor has this big speech about how maybe nothing matters but he can save lives for just a bit longer

#

if I had a nickel for every time in the main star wars films they poorly explained how a fascist regime took over the galaxy, I'd have two nickels

zinc sluice
#

They can never decide whether they’re a sizeable military group or a Galaxy spanning Empire

cloud narwhal
#

Then in TROS we only really see Kijimi under occupation

crisp wing
#

The original version of TROS probably would have explained it better considering the main plot of it revolved around the first order invading coruscant

fluid phoenix
#

It's another classic example of star wars hand waving away the details cause "well that stuff happens irl so you guys can just fill in the gaps with whatever you think makes the story satisfying"

#

It's almost like the main characters should each represent a different aspect of the galaxy to help build the world out from their perspective

What does Chewie represent tho

#

He’s the woke dog nvm

fluid phoenix
#

In a technical sense kinda yeah, he gets to be the token non-human character HG_YodaLaugh

cloud narwhal
#

Having a nobody scavenger, an ex-fascist soldier and a hotshot pilot

#

I always say Finn should've been a voluntary FO member so we can hear his side of why people would ever support them

cloud narwhal
#

It all goes back to me absolutely loving the main cast and what could have been

fluid phoenix
#

I also have come around to the idea that if Rey had been one of Luke's other students that would've been a nice way to contextualize the Jedi's failings a bit better since Kylo didn't get to say much about it in the first movie

#

And if Hux got more to do he'd be a good gateway into the political side of things

#

They really could have had a side plot between him and Leia in the New Republic early on

cloud narwhal
#

The New Republic shouldn’t have been just deleted

glossy cove

#

But that idea isn’t exactly well put out

#

The thing the Prequels were really saying is that fascism isn’t some invading force most of the time, it seeps into government

#

Having the First Order be a full outside evil that suddenly destroys everything is just not at all realistic for that comparison

cloud narwhal
#

I don’t mind that aspect because yet again Nazi Germany was an invading force too

fluid phoenix
#

I mean yeah but the Nazis were born from the German government

cloud narwhal
#

Ot just started attacking its neighbours and allat

zinc sluice
#

Yeah but where did Nazi Germany originate

fluid phoenix
#

Not kidnapped babies reprogrammed and space cultists

zinc sluice
#

Hitler didn’t force himself into power, he was elected

cloud narwhal
#

I am not denying it’s a stupid origin

#

Just that I don’t mind it’s an outside invading force

zinc sluice
#

The idea of outside invading force coming in and forcing the current government to rethink themselves was done really well with the yuuzhan Vong in the past

cloud narwhal
#

That’s why I think the failures of the New Republic in stopping this would have been good subject material for examples of failures to learn from one’s history

zinc sluice
#

Especially with their real world parallels to Imperial Japan and the US’s response to them

cloud narwhal
fluid phoenix
#

I think it's kinda hard to make the threat an invading force without doing a whole "unknown regions" story and personally I find that whole concept extremely stupid

zinc sluice
cloud narwhal
#

Ironically the movies people were crying over because muh politics in strt ward are the least political and most sauceless

zinc sluice
#

The NJO books have the New Republic having to reflect on how they can stop history from repeating, and a way to end the conflict without it devolving into fascist-like force ideals

glossy cove
#

I have a spot for the edge of the Vong as a child of 2000s Star Wars, but that concept fits Warhammer better than it

fluid phoenix
#

don't know anything about warhammer

whammer

#

Also they're better Xenomorphs

fluid phoenix
#

given how balls to the walls warhammer looks it does sound like it makes more sense

glossy cove
#

Also, the Tyrannids are the faction most likely to win if the Imperium didn't have the most plot armor

#

Their fleet has barely entered the 40k universe and they're already a end time threat

Lol

#

What are those aliens from mars in Warhammer that were buried underground?

thin raft

#

They have a bit in common with them, but not much else

#

Too busy restoring the Republic to notice that the majority of the Republic was corrupt

steady needle
#

The New Republic didn't even have a fixed institutionalized executive, everything was done in the senate and half the senate was made of people that were openly nostalgic for the Empire.

#

It also helps that only a handful of people knew the extent of Palpy's machinations so a lot of people could still be convinced he was still the saviour of the Republic against the Separatists.

#

As far as any serious history person and the average citizen knew before Exogol, Darth Vader was just some random freak he recruited to help against the Jedi traitors not his apprentice.

It’s crazy how well Andor fits into Rogue One, they did such an incredible job

The way Andor ends felt exactly how the way RO ends. Very To Be Continued

Y’all think we’ll get Andor S2 on 4K and Blu-ray at some point?

I hope so

Well my first season Blu Ray has a big "1" on the spin so I assume so

Just depends on how much money the ones already out have been making for Disney.

Ok so imagine Xenomorphs were all connected to a hive mind and their ultimate goal was to consume everything. Literally everything that's even remotely bio processable. "They can reduce Earth to be as barren as Mercury" everything. And they get smarter the more they consume, like the flood in halo. They also gene edit themselves to adapt to threats so for example: say they are fighting an opponent who keeps shooting at them from long range, they will literally develop a new creature that has a long range canon appendage that shots acid or a live hardened larva that also explodes when it strikes something. Or they'll just produce a lot of small flying creatures to overwhelm whatever is shooting. They can be as large as the death star or as small as a maggot.
But their behaviour is still mostly animalistic.
It's best to think of them as an ant colony if it figured out how to do space travel.

There's a pretty cool excerpt describing a space station being swallowed by one of their ships if you want to get an idea of what they are about

Which version of Niamos is the preferred one?

There’s a few mixes and remixes of them on Apple Music and Spotify.

I’m still depressed that there are no more new episodes of Andor. I am mad at Andor. He should’ve kept making more.

I can't wait for the comic adaptation in ten years to have all the things they had to cut out when they went from five seasons to two.
