gods the Andor S2 hype is very real

[tawny igloo]

That’s my secret, I’m always hyped for Andor.

sigh So Brasso is going to die first episode. Bix is in that poster but not him.

My love is death.

[frank oasis]

If it’s any consolation, the titular character is also going to be dead soon after the Season 2 finale.

But we knew that already.

[tawny igloo]

If you stop the movie before the end they’re all fine!

You’re right. I knew what I was getting into. But the heart wants what the heart wants.

He’s not just reprising the voice, Alan Tudyk did come back to do the mocap! 🤩

[viscid glade]

While it’s not one to one, George Lucas definitely was not inspired by any organizations with the initials V C. I assume.

[frank oasis]

Andor is an allegory for various world politics / events at different times and places throughout history.

As is the rest of Star Wars.

If people see modern political ideologies or laws reflected in Star Wars stories, then they see them.

[tawny igloo]

This made me grin and also sad.

Excellent gif use!

[frank oasis]

I agree that would not be a 1:1 comparison.
A better comparison to someone concerned about the outcome of an election would be Palpatine’s successive power grabs in Episodes 1, 2 and 3.

[tawny igloo]

Rule breaking. Mods?

You are insulting server members.

[summer latch]

I'm constantly worried that the long-time successful governments of the world are going to deteriorate and create a situation similar to Palpatine's rise to power. My concerns about this started when the insurrectionists stormed the American Capitol. I was nowhere near the event, but I was still terrified.

[mossy nova]

Yesssssssss. Love that ship so much.

If there isn't a ship for it in the xwing table top game there damn sure should be...

So if this is Les Mis, do we want Syril to have a dramatic epiphany, sing a song, and then ||drown himself?||

[dark mango]

Maybe just the first n third lol

How about Syril sings a song, and then ||instead of jumping into a river like Javert, he drowns by putting his face in a bowl of cereal.||

If he is to be murdered, may it be by her hand.

Reminds me of what Paul Thomas Anderson said about the idea of chasing a theme

He thinks that kind of thinking results in mental blocks/stifled creativity, and so he thinks creating interesting characters should come first and let them guide where the story should go

So its not really about chasing a grand message and thus falling into predictable beats on how to execute said message

[frank oasis]

Perhaps this is why Andor had excellent 1-3 line background characters.

I know there weren’t a lot of foreground aliens, but honestly I was very contented in season 1 with folks like the Narkina 5 Devonshire-accented fishermen.

And Dr. Quadpaw

And of course, Vetch.

[dark mango]

I accept the lack of aliens as a allocation of budget

Just cuz the movie is also filled with so much culture and diversity in its own right

[viscid glade]

Gilroy felt the plight of aliens in the Imperial era wasn’t his story to tell.

But we also know the Empire was human supremacist, with all the focus on Andor being a Kennari, I think the intended read is that the marginalization of non-humans has exacerbated other forms of discrimination.

[viscid glade]

And plus, those two aliens are the first thing Cassian saw after escaping Imperial prison!

[summer latch]

This artist is too hard on themselves. We've seen a few seconds of Mon Mothma dancing from Andor Season 2, because it doesn't come out for another 1 1/2 months! All we have is the trailer and a handful of promotional clips. And yet, the artist said they were too slow. I strongly disagree. They should have taken MORE TIME and waited for the season to come out. What if there's a detail that's worthy of the artwork that Disney hasn't released to the public yet?

[spice dagger]

waiting for "more details" is a trap that usually results in art just not getting made

don't ask me how I know, k, thx

(sometimes things do have to stew but usually if you have an idea and are excited to work on it... just do it! process over perfection! make stuff! share it! make more stuff!)

[tawny igloo]

It is beautiful and I love the symbol.

[summer latch]

That seems illogical to me, but my art skills are equivalent to those of a toddler. 🤣 I can't draw anything recognizable unless I have a guide and possibly a grid. So, I wouldn't have any experience with what you're talking about.

[spice dagger]

Perfection is the enemy of the good. If you don't make art, you don't get better at making art.

Art also doesn't need to be an exact replica of something we see on screen—of course there is artistry in recreating something perfectly, but most of the time that kind of misses the point of art.

Art is interpretation and expression

It's symbolism and theme

You bring your own unique experiences to the drawing/page/sculpture/music/etc.

And you make something no one else can make.

[summer latch]

I once did a watercolor First Order Stormtrooper. It only turned out well because I had a guide from starwars.com. I usually don't even bother with art that's based on something from my life. It's usually something from a fandom I'm a part of. And like I said, I usually try to find a guide.

@spice dagger Something I am good at is creating stories. I say creating rather than writing because I can imagine complex stories in my head, and even visualize what it would look like on TV, but if I try to turn it into a short story or a book, it never sounds right to me. I write it down, and it's not good enough for me. Like maybe the character dialogue doesn't have enough depth. That's my most common self-criticism. I sometimes try again, but most of the time, I just scrap the idea, and sometimes just tell it to someone verbally to get the idea out there. Is there something else I should be doing in a situation like that?

[frank hazel]

Doing my Andor rewatch for S2, and just finished The Eye, and three things came to mind

• this episode is absolutely fantastic. The tension throughout cut with a mostly mellow score is 👌
• I think someone mentioned it here recently, but in the S2 trailer ||with Mon dancing, they thought it would be cut against a desperate mission.|| I hadn’t remembered but this is very much how this episode is with the Aldhani’s viewing the Eye
• I hadn’t remembered or noticed the fist time but Mon mentions the Ghormans 👀

[spice dagger]

Have you taken any writing classes or studied the craft of writing fiction at all? That's generally a good place to start.

[summer latch]

No. I could try that. Do you live near Batuu East? If you do, do you have any recommendations for somewhere to take classes like that?

[spice dagger]

I do not. This is getting pretty far afield from Andor, but we can take it to #off-topic-chat-and-meta

[summer latch]

K

[tawny igloo]

I like how masterfully well mixed and paced this show is. But I do wonder what it would be like to watch all the Mon Mothma scenes back to back.

[frank hazel]

Yeah, knowing it was a Disney decision to air three/week and not Gilroy, I would expect each episode to hit the way they did in S1, so it could be a lot

Honestly might just watch one per night

[frank oasis]

This is reasonable.

My brain is less reasonable.

And insists that all available content must be consumed immediately.

[royal thistle]

In prep for Andor Season 2 I have been watching a whole bunch of reaction videos and highlight reels. One I just watched was on Luthen's escape from the Cantwell-class Arrestor Cruiser. I know it's an unpopular opinion but I am hoping that Luthen turns out to be a Jedi. Not because I need a Jedi in all of my Star Wars media. But because of his speech to Lonni. About the destruction of his soul to make a better future. It's just that it's even more sad if it comes from a Jedi. A person who can feel the light side of the Force flowing through them, uplifting them, and holding them. And they turn away from it, sever that connection. All to save people, communities, and governments that will never know of the sacrifice. It would be like blinding yourself to save people you've never met.

[weary panther]

I’m likely there. More just with time

[summer latch]

Andor is harder to consume than other installments of Star Wars, if you take my meaning. What I did with Season 1 was watched episodes immediately when they dropped but watched them several more times before the next drop to make sure I was taking everything in. I plan to do that again.

[summer latch]

I think that would be overkill in several ways.

1. Andor doesn't need a Jedi to carry the plot like some Star Wars shows do.
2. Luthen is already doing just that. He's cutting himself off from things he knows and loves for the greater good. The force is not one of those things (that we know of), but the same concept still applies.

[languid topaz]

I did/do the same with most shows. Immediate watch where I’m purely focusing on the main stuff, then a few rewatches where I can catch smaller details happening on the side/in the background

It’s why I enjoy shows like the expanse where there’s like no limit to the smaller and smaller details that just blow your mind they had the care to put in

Skeleton Crew had a lot of those little background references to other stuff that was great

[viscid glade]

I think Luthen being a Jedi would be an active disservice to the story, average people having to make due in a world where they don't have magic powers is crucial.

[frank hazel]

I could not agree more

[viscid glade]

My headcanon is that he was in some way involved with the Separatists.

[languid topaz]

My hope is he was a separatist intelligence officer/spy on Corustant posing as this high end antiques dealer

So he was already sort of in the game, just switched to hating the empire and working with people who used to be his enemies

He’s got some deep relationship with Saw, he’s gotta have some involvement in the clone wars. I highly doubt he was just a rich people toy seller who decided he didn’t like Palpatine

[viscid glade]

I’m also okay with never getting a clear picture of who he was and why he decided to become Axis.

[languid topaz]

Yeah, dying with a hint that now only Mon knows who he really was and his motives would be super interesting

One of those things that might be more interesting left unexplained so you can speculate

[viscid glade]

People like mysteries.

When we get an answer, we say “oh, neat” and move on.

But single a tease of some far off event like the Clone Wars in the original movie can sustain decades of fan speculation.

[languid topaz]

He’d be the ultimate glup shitto lol

[summer latch]

Was K-2SO's voice altered by his reprogramming? He's the only droid I've ever heard who has Alan Tudyk's voice. Several droids of the same model appeared in Andor, but they were clearly voiced by someone else. And there was even one in Jedi: Fallen Order that had a feminine voice. It was a boss fight on Kashyyyk. It tries to stop you from rescuing the Wookiees from an Imperial prison. That was probably the easiest boss fight I've had so far. It was kind of amusing actually...

[frank oasis]

It seems plausible that it was altered in the reprogramming process.

We will have to wait and see what happens in Season 2 in order to confirm it.

[novel magnet]

But also remember Rule of Cool.

[viscid glade]

Also practically so you can tell him apart from other K2s. It must be a usual but standard voice profile, since when undercover Imperials don’t find it strange.

[languid topaz]

Could be if there were at least two different voice patterns for them between the ones we saw in s1 and the Jedi games they probably didn’t question it until his eccentricity shined through

Also a healthy dose of the (racism?) most people in the Star Wars universe displayed towards droids

Like how in the Kenobi show the kids laughed at young Leia for treating the protocol droids like they were a person and thanking them

Most imperials might just not give enough a crap to question a different voice coming from the K droid

[spice dagger]

I think bigotry works well in this context

but it's clear certain types of people in the Star Wars universe view droids as unthinking tools meant to serve them and nothing more

so why should they pay attention to droid personality quirks? to them, the droid is just there to do a task.

[languid topaz]

Yeah, like at the end of rots when Bail is just casually like “oh and destroy everything that makes 3P0 his current personality”

Kinda disturbing how easily people accepted wiping the mind of a droid

Like, in that case it certainly had a point since he knew way too much

But still

[frank oasis]

Droids are a huge gray area that the collective Star Wars franchise has only nicked the surface of.

Allegorically, they are the bottom rung of real world society. Slaves and peasants at worst, servants and substitutions (like the therapy droid in Mando season 3) at best.

But within the galaxy itself, they’re not a 1:1 with organics because they come to life with abilities babies do not have, and as long as they have maintenance and don’t get wiped or damaged they are basically immortal.

So there’s multiple different angles that they can be explored as a concept.

Some of them ethically questionable.

But for me personally, the bottom line is that character-wise, the droids we come to love all have strong personalities that they express through sound, speech, and movement.

And that’s what makes them so enjoyable.

well said @frank oasis

also B2 best boi

[languid topaz]

Huyang is basically the model of the immortality bit, but yeah they all have such unique personalities and mannerisms.

Some in the HR books are fun too, like Ram’s droid V19

And Gonky with his gonk-ing

[summer latch]

That's why C-3PO's red arm is so heartbreaking if you know the whole story. No spoilers here because I'm not sure if you've read The Phantom Limb. If you want a link, the Star Wars Audio Comics YouTube channel has done a voiceover.

[frank oasis]

I do know the story of 3PO losing his arm, and yes the ||philosophical discussions|| and ||scraps of memory flashbacks|| are topical to the discussion of droid existence.

[heady ocean]

Finally got IndyWife to watch the first 3 episodes of Andor S1 and she loved it!

[novel magnet]

it's so not what you expect from a SW

[languid topaz]

It’s like how I explained Skeleton Crew to my parents, it’s a good story that just happens to occur in the Star Wars universe

[summer latch]

I think that's exactly how Adria Arjona (actress for Bix) described Andor in the Special Look featurette for Andor Season 2.

Like word-for-word, I mean.

[languid topaz]

Probably where I got that from lol, I didn’t use those exact words to my parents

[heady ocean]

http://press.disneyplus.com/news/next-on-disney-plus-april-2025 6 PM PT release time confirmed

[languid topaz]

Dang, yeah definitely not going to be able to watch all three episodes that drop in one sitting then

(Which means I’ll probably end up brewing a pot of caf and staying up lol)

100% chance at least one episode if not the first two end on cliffhangers that make you feel like you need to keep watching

[frank hazel]

I’m going to need some Yoda energy to get through all 3

https://tenor.com/view/starwarsday-gif-5413758

Or just accept 3 days in a row

[blazing barn]

YODA ENERGY.

I BELIEVE IN YOU

[languid topaz]

I can’t keep myself from seeing spoilers over the course of three days too lol, another reason to stay up late watching all three

Content creators will watch all three and then start making analysis videos to put up the next morning

[weary panther]

No chance I watch more than 1 the first night.

[frank hazel]

I guess it is only 4 weeks right?

[languid topaz]

Yep, 3 a week for 4 weeks. I feel bad for the mods who’ll have to police spoilers once it hits week 3. Everyone is going to have a different pace of watching

[blazing barn]

Fortunately people can just avoid the channel threads.

[languid topaz]

Yeah that should contain most

Which thinking of, will we have channels for each episode and then maybe a megathread for the whole 3 episode arc?

[novel magnet]

I'm not sure a megathread for each arc would give anything that each normal episode thread wouldn't, since 3-6-9-12 would function as that

[languid topaz]

True

[frank hazel]

I finished S1 again last night

I think I get so overwhelmed with hype for Luthen's speech in E10, I forget how good the finale is

Luthen’s “then it’ll burn brightly” is pretty ominous

[novel magnet]

I'm thinking anyone || in Andor that we don't see in R1 doesn't survive the show.||

[novel magnet]

Dude

[frank oasis]

Yeah ok that is worse.

[novel magnet]

It is too early on Monday for that feels trip.

[frank oasis]

It’s the trailer’s fault.

For being dropped on a Monday.

[languid topaz]

I agree, totally not my fault

[frank oasis]

Lol

For a (slightly) less emotional observation, ||does anyone think this might be Eriadu||?

[languid topaz]

Maybe, I’m wondering what this place is

Also, is Mon’s line “the monster will come for us all” a part of her big speech? They definitely keeping hinting we’ll see it

[frank hazel]

My guess as well!

[frank hazel]

I believe it is! I’d be shocked if they don’t include it

[languid topaz]

It definitely feels like she’s going to get an epic monologue in the form of that speech this season

[tawny igloo]

It’s ok, mates, Bee comes to live with me. He helps me out around the house.

Also everyone lives at the end of R1. You just have to stop the movie before it ends.

I am debating watching that new trailer.

[frank oasis]

Ghorman, maybe?

[signal sierra]

Are we going to get an appearance of Darth Vader in season 2? Screenshot from new official trailer.

[tawny igloo]

Me: They’re going to kill my man in the first arc if not the first episode.
Hubs: Well if it makes you feel better they all probably die.

[novel magnet]

Maybe, but that could also be an emotional "I'm choking" rather than being force choked

[signal sierra]

Watch the trailer. She’s seriously struggling.

[frank oasis]

I also read it as her desperately trying to undo her collar due to an emotional response.

But I’d say it’s a 50/50 chance either way.

[languid topaz]

The mountains make me wonder if it’s your guess of planet

Same planet just different location

[frank oasis]

That could make sense too.

[frank hazel]

I personally hope it's not Vader, just intense emotional distress

[languid topaz]

I need at least one group of rebels to call themselves the Bothans 😂

[novel magnet]

Right, she's not looking at anyone. Just tearing at the collar.

[frank oasis]

That was the second Death Star though! 😅

[languid topaz]

Oh crap forgot

But it would still be a nice reference lol

[frank oasis]

It’s always possibly Manny Bothans got involved in the rebellion before the Battle of Yavin.

Maybe they were off somewhere getting secret intel about something else.

And then came back to get the second Death Star intel.

[frank hazel]

let's bring in Kyle while we're at it

[spice dagger]

holy shit

I know I complained the first trailer didn't feel like a Star War but this one good god I'm sobbing into my caf

[vast hemlock]

I’ll watch it later

[heady ocean]

The lack of a contemporary song helped

[spice dagger]

Also the lack of text overlay about all the awards s1 won!

[heady ocean]

There was an Emmys reference?

[spice dagger]

There were some reviews as well

I do actually think they were just trying to reach a non-SW-fan audience with that first trailer, and that's not a bad thing!

But this one felt like they were speaking our language

[languid topaz]

This one definitely had less breaks between stuff to say how big a hit it was

And showed a bigger range of us nerd stuff lol

Like I’m so hyped for seeing Mon’s speech, how Cassian helps broadcast it and Palpatine/the senate’s reaction

But my parents who I’ve been trying to convince to watch season one have no idea how epic a moment that is

[heady ocean]

I’m guessing/hoping it will still be impactful even without that extra context. My wife is finally watching Season One and is loving it

[languid topaz]

Oh yeah Genevieve sounds like she’s really putting everything into that line

Like it’ll be like Luthen’s “EVERYTHING” answer

[languid topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/sha-definitely-no-gif-18380924

[royal thistle]

B2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[languid topaz]

Omg I totally missed that

@frank oasis @novel magnet He’s alive! (At this point in the story arc)

[viscid glade]

I’m thinking she’s having a panic attack. To me it looks more like she’s trying to unbutton her shirt, and she’s not facing forward like we typically see in a force choke.

[summer latch]

And he's got a friend! Look at the other droids feet. They're similar to B2's. Possibly where B got his mismatched one from.

[languid topaz]

If I’m not mistaken this is Saw’s base we see in r1, another nice tie in

Definitely looks like a star destroyer settling in over the holy city of Jedha off in the distance

[summer latch]

Yes, I think that is Jedha. The windows match.

[languid topaz]

Timeline wise I’m guessing that’s after whatever happens that drives a wedge between him and the rest of the rebellion

Ooh, I bet the scene in the last trailer of the x-wings taking off (that 100% had Saw’s groups livery painted on them) with a dead body in the foreground is them taking off to Jedha in secret

[summer latch]

Just for reference, that happens between 2 BBY and 1 BBY. I just looked at Wookieepedia's timeline, using Rebels as a reference. In "Ghosts Of Geonosis" (2 BBY), the Ghost Crew are sent to rescue saw from Geonosis on an official mission from Bail Organa. That would imply they were still on good terms. In "In The Name Of The Rebellion" (1 BBY), Saw uses a droid spy on Yavin IV to send a message to Mom Mothma about how she is fighting the war in all the wrong ways. So, they had separated by then. Therefore, I'm guessing that break-up happens at least halfway through Andor Season 2, given what we know about the season's structure.

[languid topaz]

Yeah that makes sense

[astral hound]

Wouldn’t it be awesome if they did a theatrical release of the first 3? This show needs some big screen time.

[languid topaz]

I’d absolutely love to watch it that way

Make it an Alamo draft house where I can also have a beer during it, heaven

I wish Ohio had those

[heady ocean]

🤞🏻Ahsoka had limited D23 theatrical screenings of the first two episodes. Acoltye and Skeleton Crew had wider Fandango screenings of the first two. I don’t believe Andor S1 did, I do recall seeing Rogue One in theaters in before with a preview of Andor

Maybe there will be a screening at Celebration? I’ve been to Destination D23 and they had a screening of an MCU show one year right before the release

There was also a special event where select theaters screened Episode 5 of Ahsoka at the same time it dropped on Disney+. I wish I had gone to one of those. That was such a great episode!

[languid topaz]

Just rewatching R1 again and wondered, is there a chance we see young Jyn among Saw’s commandos?

It’s tough to peg the timeline though. She was picked up by Saw 15 or so years before the events of Rogue One, but at the time of finding her seemingly had some of the cybernetics he does not seem to have yet in season one of Andor

Wookieepedia says he took her in on 13 BBY, and her last recorded work with him was 6 BBY, and his meetings with Luthen happened in 5 BBY. So I guess he’d already left her on her own by the time of s1

That’s how he looked when he finds Jyn as a child, vs what he looked like when meeting Luthen

[languid topaz]

He grew back some body parts as well as grew out his hair, or that’s just a continuity error cause they never expected to make a show

[novel magnet]

it's entirely possible that having things look mechanic vs natural is a choice, and can change.

[tawny igloo]

Saw is the Millennium Falcon of people?

[tawny igloo]

I have a prediction!

While others think Syril may defect, I think it will be Deirdre who does.

[viscid glade]

My favorite proposal for Syril’s fate is he hears Luthen’s voice in Coruscant, recognizes it, tries to attack Luthen, and is shot dead for assaulting a member of high society.

[summer latch]

My favorite trailer for Season 2 is still the one that was shown at D23, and hasn't gotten an official public release yet.

Either the 2 officially uploaded trailers are overshadowing the search results, or it got taken down. I can't find it any more.

[astral hound]

I hope they keep him as the insecure weasel and that he ends up sad, disappointed, and defeated. In every empire there are tons of people just like him that keep the empire running and that should remain a point. Meero switching sides would be much more interesting since she's obviously intelligent and would far more likely have an awakening once she begins to understand the rebellion's motivations.

[tawny igloo]

That’s what I was thinking- it would be the more interesting story.

And more believable to me.

But I’m onboard for anything!

[royal thistle]

I would absolutely love it if Dedra and Syril ended up on Scarif.

Man the inside of that TIE Avenger looks sick, and seems like it would be a blast to fly

And I sure hope the K unit seemingly chasing Cassian ends up being K2

[heady ocean]

I need a Lego set and Micro Galaxy Squadron version

[languid topaz]

I know for sure one 3 episode drop I’m definitely staying awake for, and it’s the TIE theft arc

[frank oasis]

“Come back here, I am better at running than you are!”

[novel magnet]

I need an inflatable Christmas K2 for my droid display

[summer latch]

Idea for Andor-themed Christmas decoration: U-Wing-shaped sleigh with K2 driving, pulled by 8 B2s with reindeer antlers 🤣

[novel magnet]

I love it, but my front yard isn't that big!

The Chewie was from a neighbor. But a K2 would be better!

I don't have room for the walker or the Star destroyer either

[summer latch]

My parents have a homemade sleigh that's pulled by lawn flamingos. (Because we live in Florida)

[languid topaz]

Oooh, just watched a SWE breakdown of the latest short trailer and he thinks (just in case) ||that maybe Luthen and Cassian actually cause the Gorman massacre by kicking off the protests knowing what it would lead to||

I guess ||he also caught a scene in one trailer where Cassian is on Gorman and assembling a sniper rifle in his hotel room, so maybe he even directly starts it by shooting an imperial. Or worse, he impersonates an imperial and fires the first shot into the crowd of protestors causing the rest of troopers to open fire too 😢||

https://youtu.be/YoyHV7RwfZ0?si=84tqrUzql0CwioyD

I think one of the latest things I saw about s2 is that it’ll completely reshape how you view R1, and whew ||if Cassian is even partially responsible for what happens on Gorman, that’s way bigger than him stealing credits or TIE fighters and killing any imperials in his way. That would be something heavy to live with||

[summer latch]

"We've all done terrible things on behalf of the rebellion."

[spring quarry]

I mean he literally kills his informant in R1 because the guy might talk and can't climb the fence

[frank oasis]

That was one terrible thing.

I want to learn about the other terrible things that made the statement plural.

[languid topaz]

Also on a bad things scale I’d say what he did at the start of R1 was like a 5 out of 10, whereas being the cause of hundreds/thousands of innocent people being slaughtered an 11

He’s definitely done some bad stuff but there’s gotta be something big coming if it’ll change how we view the movie

[tawny igloo]

He also accidentally kills a guy in Andor ep1. Then murders the other.

Blows up a car taking out other guys.

We don’t count those because they’re the bad guys. But he might.

He misses out on Maarva’s last days alive. Which we know he counts as a terrible thing because he tells Brasso.

I’d list more but my point is season one is full of Cass doing terrible things in his opinion.

With that said, Luthen’s whole thing is being a catalyst to force a rebellion. So yes a bigger tragedy could be something Cassian is partly responsible for.

[heady ocean]

Picture Baby Yoda in the Season 1 finale pushing back the fire to protect Mando, except instead of Mando it’s Cassian.

[frank hazel]

seriously

[languid topaz]

I’d just been on my way here to say I just noticed in another rewatch of s1 that Meero seems to unconsciously tug at her collar when she’s stressed

[frank hazel]

yeah I noticed that too!

I really think it's a panic attack

[languid topaz]

Yeah

[frank hazel]

(also hope it is)

[languid topaz]

I hope it is too cause that would mean it’s great acting not space magic

[frank hazel]

100%

I love space magic but I don't want any in Andor

[languid topaz]

Yeah, and it would make a lot more sense if she’s got PTSD after almost dying and being rescued by the dude stalking her

I love longer episodes instead of the 32 minute nonsense. but daaaayum

[tawny igloo]

Keep in mind 8ish minutes of credits.

[languid topaz]

lol I instantly thought “well this should make the people who say the episodes aren’t long enough happy”

[novel magnet]

joke's on you, we're never happy

[languid topaz]

lol, no Goldilocks length that’s just right? Either too short or too long 😂

[novel magnet]

no no, these lengths ARE good. but then three a night!

and either stay up or risk spoilers from people who cannot comprehend spoiler policies

[languid topaz]

Yeah, I’m counting my blessings that I don’t work Saturdays, so I’m either going to be up till the wee hours of the morning or waking up early to finish the trio

[heady ocean]

If accurate, S2 episodes would be about 2 minutes longer on average than S1 (inclusive of credits)

[summer latch]

Don't they drop on Tuesdays?

[languid topaz]

Oh no do they? I wasn’t paying attention to when those days fall in the week, figured they’d all be Fridays

Doh, they’re all Tuesdays

Guess I’ll be mainlining caf to stay awake if I get scheduled on the Wednesdays after they drop

Good thing I recently stocked up on my espresso blend caf

[spring quarry]

don't forget to factor in 10+ mins of credits for each one because Disney

[heady ocean]

Credits for S1 were around 5.5-7 mins

[spring quarry]

well I was being a bit sarcastic, but still like twice as long as they need to be

[heady ocean]

Justice for foreign language dubbers

[spring quarry]

just feels like padding runtimes because all their shows are too short

7 mins is like nearly feature film credit length

[heady ocean]

Good thing Disney+ doesn’t make you watch all of them

[tawny igloo]

I said 8ish.

#1022187710636630087 message

[spring quarry]

I'm not worried about watching them, but it's kind of deceiving to publish runtimes that aren't accurate to what you actually get content wise

It's just an annoyance

[tawny igloo]

I remember because we pause so often for me to go pee. Lol. I always manage to go like 12 minutes before the end. Which meant about two minutes from the episode is over.

[spring quarry]

Fortunately Andor didn't suffer from the short times, but many other shows did

[tawny igloo]

“Oh we have 12 minutes left, I can’t wait that long.” Pauses. Comes back. Two minutes later credits scroll.

There have been more hilarious run times though where it says there’s 10 minutes left and I come back to five seconds.

[heady ocean]

Mando came out 5.5 years ago now? I think people have generally factored in the credits when they see the runtimes by now

[tawny igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-disappointed-fan-seriously-what-are-you-doing-judging-you-gif-17485289

The upside is we get cool music!

Hubs skips the credits and I yell every time.

Interrupting my jams.

[spring quarry]

Sure for Disney, but the point is that the vast majority of other shows are much closer to an actual hour, even old shows from the 90s were 42 mins long. Shows take an excruciating amount of time to produce these days and we get so few episodes anymore that having short run times is a feels bad

[heady ocean]

S1 of Andor had about 7 hours and 52 minutes of runtime (exclusive of credits and recaps). I for one felt satisfied as a Disney+ subscriber by the amount and quality of content received. I realize you may feel differently

[spring quarry]

I think Andor is the exception tbh, It has the longest run time of any of the SW shows. I felt satisfied with Andor, but several other shows suffered from wanting more and with fewer episodes and short times it was very apparent. Some even suffered heavily from it like Obi-Wan, because it was too short to be a series and too long to be a movie.

[languid topaz]

I may need a few more bags of this for Tuesday night releases

[spring quarry]

is it still releasing on PT time? at like 3 am eastern?

[languid topaz]

Not 100% sure but google says 6pm pacific 9 eastern

[spring quarry]

ok that's managable

[languid topaz]

Yeah assuming giving myself an intermission between episodes it would still be around 1am for me by the time I finish a set of 3

And if I get scheduled to close like tonight I’ll be an hour behind just from the walk home and then cleaning up/making dinner

[novel magnet]

we'd have to do all evening tasks (prepping lunches, showers, kitty Fourth Meal) in advance to be ready to just watch straight through. but we don't go to bed early, so maybe.

[languid topaz]

And whew heaven help me if Last of Us releases are Tuesday/wednesday

But I think that’s Sundays

April is a busy month for new shows

[tawny igloo]

TLOU is on the 13th so I think you’re correct about Sundays.

I’m assuming because Doctor Who is on the 12th, those will be Saturdays.

I have shows on Mondays too. And of course Andor Tuesdays. But that does give me Tues-Fri to catch up!

For us, we don’t watch it until kid is asleep. So we start around 9 or 10pm.

I try to go to bed at a specific time, but my podmates usually end up screwing that up. They're very loud. This probably won't feel much different in terms of how much sleep I actually get. 😅

This is why I post on here at weird hours of the morning sometimes. It's because it gets loud in the dorms.

Well… since you asked about spoilers… ||Mon Mothma and Cassian fall in love and decide to get hitched, so Mon divorces her hubby, who ends up with Bix, and they all give up the rebellion BS and start a drive-in theater. But, Luthien is torqued (partially because he also had a crush on Bix) and hires Boba Fett to sabotage the whole thing, causing a ton of drama, until one of the speeders at the drive-in is revealed to have Vader out on a date with Aurra Sing and he force chokes Luthien and Bix for ruining an otherwise perfect evening. Mon and Cassian call off their romance, go back to the rebellion, and dedicate themselves to overthrowing Vader for ultimately wrecking their passion project. Yes, of course this is a fake spoiler, but at least yall hopefully got a laugh (or at least an eye roll) from the absurdity of it and if any part of this turns out to be remotely true, I swear I was making this whole thing up and didn’t actually have any foreknowledge (after fake-but-actually -real spoiling “and then aliens show up” on the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Im disclaiming everything now)||

[languid topaz]

[fluid hazel]

Man I can’t wait for this release. I rewatched Season 1 and Rogue One to prep

[frank oasis]

Apart from the spoilers we’ve already known for 9 and 48 years respectively.

But I suppose those don’t count, as they happen after Season 2. 😅

[languid topaz]

Omg wait Cassian doesn’t die of old age?!

Did that pesky rebellion ever end up winning?

[frank oasis]

He does if you pretend the wall of nuclear fire was just a wall of bright light.

Maybe he just got a bit of a sunburn and lived the rest of his life peacefully on that beach.

It was a nice beach.

[languid topaz]

Key word being was

But may be a pristine crater now

[frank oasis]

There’s a strong argument that they did win.
But evil always keeps coming back, so it’s hard to win permanently.

[summer latch]

Knowing what happens to sand when you heat it up, it's probably a lot like Mandalore now.

[frank oasis]

According to Lego Star Wars canon, eventually the glass crumbled back into sand and Scarif became a resort beach.

Which is nice.

[summer latch]

Oh, I forgot about that! ⛱️

[languid topaz]

lol kinda like that rich people resort (Skeleton Crew spoilers) ||built on top of the pirate guys lair||

[frank oasis]

Not entirely dissimilar!

But these things happen in real life too.

I’m sure there’s plenty of real life beaches or castles or what have you that were the site of terrible events, that then got repurposed into resorts and tourist traps.

[languid topaz]

Yeah

I mean, you can do guided tours of the beaches of Normandy

(May or may not have been on one)

[novel magnet]

yes, but those are presented very solemnly in my experience

[languid topaz]

True

[novel magnet]

we did Pointe du Hoc and it was all very serious and educational and not tourist-trappy at all

The full review embargo for S2 just dropped. All the ones I’ve seen have been overwhelmingly positive

[languid topaz]

I just watched SWE’s latest video about the Ahsoka panel they were at but he did mention that they’d gotten to see all of s2 and it was good

[astral hound]

Finally checked out this album. I love it. https://youtu.be/zP7Wqt9rEL0?si=CLrPr5gkuW6OIff_

[quartz elk]

LFG!!!! I’m ready

[north pollen]

https://www.gamingbible.com/news/tv-and-film/star-wars-recast-legacy-character-204751-20250416

TLDR: Bail Organa and Jyn Erso

[frank oasis]

Also ||General Marrick and General Draven|| too, for the folks who know every character.

[rocky snow]

Not sure how I’m feeling about this. I would’ve rather they cut the characters entirely😔 I could understand the recast if the actors had passed away (knock on wood) but idk about recasting for scheduling issues

[summer latch]

I completely agree. Especially for Jyn. Why include her at all? Part of the story of Rogue One is that she was recruited out of desperation. A last resort. She is not needed for Andor!

[novel magnet]

Unless it's ||showing her as a kid with Saw and recasting is because the child actor is no longer a child||

[summer latch]

I like that theory. Mostly because I'm going be mad if they actually did recast an adult Jyn. It took them 3 years to produce a second season anyway. Just delay it more if there are scheduling issues!

[glacial temple]

Stuck in I5 traffic and saw this!

[tawny igloo]

I’m as excited as I was for season one. Except now I have someone to lose.

Two if you include B.

[frank oasis]

B2 should be very much included.

He is a precious red jelly bean, and he deserves our concern.

[languid topaz]

Hour and a half!

[summer latch]

B2 is a rare example of a droid that is insanely cute, but more because of his personality than his design. At least that's my opinion.

[blazing barn]

THOON

VERY, VERY THOON

Friends, I just want you to know that I love you all.

[tawny igloo]

My roomba is named B2EMO and has significantly less charming personality.

My Bee keychain goes with me everywhere though! He is son, Brasso is hubs. In my head we live very long together. Lol

[summer latch]

That gives me an idea. Is there an remote controllable B2? (Like the Sphero BB-8) I think that would sell well.

Was Kino Loy ever confirmed to appear in this season? I remember Gilroy said in an interview that he survived Season 1, Episode 10.

[novel magnet]

https://www.imdb.com/news/ni64056074/

[languid topaz]

Anyone else scrambling to get all chores/etc done, dinner eaten and snacks ready to go? 😝 going for minimum amount of pauses lol

[summer latch]

Yeah. It's tricky when you know you're going to have 3 episodes dropping in one night.

[languid topaz]

Almost had to stay at work until 9 cause of a late delivery truck but I was like nah, I’ve got personal plans after 8 😂

Boss doesn’t need to know that those plans are watching Star Wars lol

[summer latch]

I plan to get on Disney+ at 8:45 and watch the Season 1 recap before the drop.

[languid topaz]

That s1 recap is great without spoiling the big monologues, I tried using it to sway my parents/sister lol

[heady ocean]

ONE HOUR OUT. ONE HOUR OUT

[languid topaz]

Cat getting her wet food early so I don’t have to stop for that 🤦‍♂️🤣

[astral hound]

ARE WE THERE YET?

[languid topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/youve-got-two-minutes-thats-it-hurry-up-two-minutes-be-quick-gif-14186156

[tawny igloo]

Uh oh. Firefighters outside talking about something “that way your power stays on.”

[coral cove]

Just hoping nobody’s thawing frozen pipes across the street with an arc welder. (Pretty sure that’s what got our house a visit from the FD many years ago)

[frank oasis]

So as a general thought, I now completely agree with the decision to drop three episodes in one go.

In my opinion it was the right move.

[tawny igloo]

Holy yikes!

[coral cove]

Yeah. Been there. Done that. No souvenir Tshirt (and everything fails at once because everything was bought new at the same time)

[summer latch]

If we had gotten 1 per week, I think I'd be really disappointed the second week. But this was good.

[novel magnet]

same. I am loving basically watching a movie

[tawny igloo]

Yeah AFD is here often but tonight they are sticking around, vocal, and seem to be using equipment. We’ll see if we still have power to watch Andor.

[coral cove]

I still give one of the FD guys crap. “Dude, you’re not allowed to cone to my house. The last time you were here you left the place a huge mess” 🤣

Its almost 11 i should go to bed

[heady ocean]

And we have three more movies to go!

[novel magnet]

I know, I'm excited!

[summer latch]

You're lucky. It was about 11:30 by the time I finished the episodes. I don't like time zones...

[weary panther]

So I should just have waited and watched all 3 tonight? EP1 felt good on it’s own

[frank oasis]

Nah, you’re good.
I think the general feeling is that the three together felt very solid and like a film, but Episode 1 would work just fine on its own.

Episode 2 maybe less so, as it is the middle part.

I guess I’d recommend watching 2 and 3 together if you already watched 1.

[weary panther]

Cool. Unfortunately just realized with coaching sons soccer tonight might have to wait for Thursday 😔.

[summer latch]

Yes. Definitely watch 2 and 3 together. These episodes work better together. Like I said earlier, if they had dropped one per week, I'd be disappointed with 2.

[earnest widget]

Anyone else watching rebels inbetween the breaks of season 2, ?

[rocky snow]

I’ve actually been reading that Mask of Fear book that came out a few months ago. Serves as a great tie-in (and prequel) for Andor

[earnest widget]

Very cool. havent quite gotten into the comics and books, yet...

[blazing barn]

It’s so good…

[tulip anchor]

I have only had time to watch Episode 1 but let me just say I missed this show! I know where Andor's story ends but the in between is just so good. Really hope SW continues with similar gritty style shows once Andor wraps his story.

[tawny igloo]

I’m halfway through and it really does add that depth.

[tired compass]

No way

I’m gotta watch it again in Spanish then

[astral hound]

That's always nice when the original actor can do that, helps preserve the quality of the acting

[inner minnow]

Yooo I just saw this on Instagram. This is a cool connection. Not super spoiling but I like this

[tawny igloo]

Thank you!! I love him.

Looks like I have some watching to do.

[quartz elk]

Cherishing every episode as much as I can because we only get one more season

[astral hound]

I kinda want to replicate some of the Chandrilan formal wear for cons but I'm not sure my tailoring skills are far enough yet

[frank oasis]

If you don’t trust your skills, wait for someone else to post a tutorial online.
Then mimic.

[frank hazel]

just go Qui-Gon

https://tenor.com/pOpxz8G13ln.gif

"feel, don't think"

[tawny igloo]

I think I’m going to watch the three episodes again tonight.

[tawny igloo]

I love his quote so much.

[summer latch]

That might just be a Jedi proverb. Jod said that same thing to Wim in Skeleton Crew.

[summer latch]

https://youtu.be/xn4ihJRvWBs?feature=shared

It's crazy how little they know about the franchise their characters are a part of

[tawny igloo]

They are adorable.

[spice dagger]

I don't need them to be SW trivia experts... I need them to be good actors

[frank oasis]

An actor’s ability to act in a Star Wars production is not reliant on their knowledge of Star Wars trivia.

While it is a lot of fun when SW actors are big fans of the franchise and know lots of lore (Sam Witwer being a prime example) a good actor will do a good job regardless of what they know about the world.

Also this video is hilarious.
The only way it could be more funny is if the actors had to do it in the trivia corner of a pizza parlor while sharing a pitcher of beer.

[blazing barn]

They don't need to be SW trivia experts. Hell, most of us arent.

[spring quarry]

This, perfect example, I have been listening to the Delta Flyers podcast hosted by the actors who played Tom Paris and Harry Kim on Voyager. Robby (Tom) is not a Trek fan but is a talented actor and director and his insight in the industry is awesome. He still enjoys trek just doesn't know all the lore. Garrett(Harry) on the other hand is a huge Sci fi fan. Both are great actors and fans in their own way.

[tawny igloo]

Best part about Monday coming is that Tuesday comes after it!

We are so close to THREE MORE EPISODES!

https://tenor.com/view/is-this-real-life-shock-shook-gif-7211475

[blazing barn]

I somehow missed this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SdMzzmeNsY

[languid topaz]

Good stuff, 100% confirmed with the wedding dancing stuff being Mon basically trying to drown out the shitstorm on the horizon. Gilroy says “the wedding is her prison, the dancing is her attempt to escape”

[heady ocean]

Someone should write a piece about Luthen’s “sunrise I’ll never see” and the end of Rogue One as Cassian and Jyn look at the horizon

[summer latch]

I've had the exact same thought multiple times. I might make a short video with Luthen's voice overlayed on that scene if nobody else does something similar by the time Season 2 is over.

[summer latch]

I just realized that something that's been said about Andor Season 2 doesn't make sense. We know that each 3 episodes will represent consecutive years in Cassian's life. I've also heard that the last 3 will lead directly into Rogue One. Both of those statements CANNOT BE TRUE.

S1E01 - S1E12: 5 BBY
S2E01 - S2E03: 4 BBY
S2E04 - S2E06: 3 BBY
S2E07 - S2E09: 2 BBY
S2E10 - S2E12: 1 BBY
Rogue One takes place in 0 BBY.

Therefore, there has to be an extra 1-year gap somewhere if the last 3 episodes lead directly into R1.

[novel magnet]

"approximately one year"

it's not that exact

they're picking the important events from 4, 3, and 2 BBY, not literally spacing them one year apart.

[summer latch]

Ah. That makes sense.

[rocky snow]

Random thought: It’d be neat if we got a Ghost Crew cameo/reference later in the season

[summer latch]

If we do, it'll probably something along the lines of someone contacting Hera to tell her to wait for Mon Mothma's ship in the debris field.

[rugged hawk]

So have been careful not to see any spoilers until just now...didn't realize things were jumping forward in time every 3 episodes!

[blazing barn]

Well this is an interesting one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=208x7aV5Nc0

[astral hound]

This is funny. Star Wars Theory is rage quitting Andor content becuase even his regular viewers are clowning him on his haterade takes. He was so desperate to nitpick Andor and he's getting dragged for it.

[spice dagger]

This all started (this time) because he complained about the SA scene in the first arc and then said Darth Vader and Palpatine would not have stood for that. You know. The guy who force choked his own pregnant wife.

[astral hound]

The Sith, the ones famously championing the kind treatment of the common people

[novel magnet]

"Padme, this is his second genocide"

[languid topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-sand-noises-gif-24177101

[frank oasis]

Also I’m pretty sure ambient pain and suffering in the galaxy increases the power of the dark side.

Like

I think that’s pretty much how it works.

So no, the two Sith Lords would not object to lowlife Imperial Officers terrorizing people and causing chaos in that manner.

Once again, the cruelty is the point.

[languid topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/good-evil-star-wars-emporer-palpatine-darkside-gif-4624104

Palpatine’s reaction to finding out his people are corrupt

[novel magnet]

And this is showing the cruelty on all levels, from huge planet destroying cruelty of the regime on the whole to the small, personal cruelties an occupying force commits one at a time.

[astral hound]

Another luke warm take I'm seeing around is that "This isn't Star Wars" becuase it's not fantasy escapism, because there's murder and suffering. Uhm, did you see the OT with the whole murdery evil empire and then the rebels blowing up thousands of Imperials? Jabba with slave women that he fed to monsters?

I think it's another one of those things where as children they focused on the lasers and space wizards, not really paying attention to adult themes in plain view.

[spice dagger]

I also think the goofy moments of the OT lend themselves to glossing over the serious themes undergirding the whole trilogy

[frank oasis]

They probably did.

But

I don’t regret the goofy moments.

Life is many flavors of absurd

[spice dagger]

Oh no, not at all. I love it when Star Wars is goofy

[frank oasis]

Andor does reflect that.

What with all the ways things go absurdly wrong.

[spice dagger]

I also think the goofiness makes it more approachable to people who maybe weren't ready to be confronted with the reality that the Empire was US-coded (even though the officers all had British accents) and the Rebels were Viet-Cong-coded 😂

You can map many colonial/imperialist conflicts over the OT, but that's the one that was on Lucas's mind at the time he was making the film

[frank hazel]

this is such an absurd take, the mental gymnastics required shock me

I have a friend who sorta said he didn't like the ||SA|| in Star Wars, that he goes to it for escapism, which I respect his feelings but I pushed back that yes, a lot of SW is goofy but deals with all sorts of adult themes. Andor has those same adult themes but much less - if any - goof

[spice dagger]

SWT is nothing if not a Vader simp

I was not a fan of that scene with Bix, especially after what happened to ||Cinta|| in the second arc, but it's not because I have a problem with Andor being grittier

[novel magnet]

and it also goes back to, it's ok if any particular SW thing is not to your preference. if you like escapism and Andor is definitely not that, that's a valid view.

[astral hound]

It's one thing to say that you don't like the scene because of a story/writing/direction issue etc. But to say that that kind of thing wouldn't be happening is delusional.

[tawny igloo]

Take care of spoilers. Tagged revealed episode 6 ones.

Not tagged revealed episode 3.

Lol wth is “omes”?

Now I need to know if that’s a real word.

[frank hazel]

exactly.

[frank hazel]

which is fine yanno, as your favorite villain. but he's still a gd villain.

remember ya'll, General is approved for all spoilers, and hiding spoilers is left at author discretion, so read at your own peril

[tawny igloo]

That still makes no sense.

Why have episode spoiler forums then?

People use general to talk about general Andor things.

Especially now that there are two seasons.

[frank hazel]

generally (ha ha), so people don't have to get down in the weeds or find the right channel

[tawny igloo]

I will always be respectfully aware of spoilers for other members and try to call them out for them.

[frank hazel]

totally

I spoiler tag here depending on the spoiler, but it's just not required so be aware 👀

[tawny igloo]

It’s always ok to admit when you’re wrong. I wish more people felt comfortable with that.

SWT included.

[frank hazel]

it's the only way to grow

[blazing barn]

SWT will never admit hes wrong. He deserves nothing from this community. No sympathy, no second third I've lost count... chances, Nothing. Absolutely fuck that guy and everything he stands for. Fuck that guy and his xenophobic, hateful rhetoric.

[spice dagger]

He can't admit he's wrong or he will lose money from his hate grift that only thrives on that same terrible rhetoric

[tawny igloo]

Yeah I’m not terribly forgiving of those who refuse accountability.

But I can still wish for change in them.

Will it happen? Depends on the person or even the time in their lives. Ie my dad who has gone off the deep end in denial.

As someone obsessed with brains it does intrigue me.

Oftentimes it stems from pain or fear. But I’m getting off topic!

[frank hazel]

Runway music!

[blazing barn]

I still want that damn jacket...

[novel magnet]

he gets some amazing jackets

[frank hazel]

dude right?

[tawny igloo]

I wonder if he has “I’m too sexy for my jacket” song in his head while he walks.

Probably more “man I’m tired/hungry. My next line is…”

[frank hazel]

I think he's more "f the Empire"

[tawny igloo]

“This gun keeps slamming my leg. Will I get a bruise?”

[astral hound]

All the costumes have been amazing, from the formalwear to the utility stuff

[frank oasis]

The Ghorman clothing especially is gorgeous.

[astral hound]

don't want to mention any specifics, but one of the official YT recaps goes into some interesting detail about exactly where they got the inspiration from

[frank oasis]

I’ll have to check it out.
I mean for me it looks like ||1930s - 1940s period clothing with a sci fi edge||.
But I’m sure there’s more to it.

[astral hound]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ihBfycg8Wg&t=519s

Obvious 4/5/6 spoilers in there

[novel magnet]

Some of the styles seemed a little older than that.

But logically, fashion has always included the recent past trends since most people weren't replacing their entire wardrobes

[novel magnet]

at my local Books A Million. It looks like S1, but leaving it here just in case

[blazing barn]

...holy crap...

[tawny igloo]

I see a hiding Omega who needs a home.

I would buy them all and take them out on play dates. Do you think they’d enjoy Disneyland.

[languid topaz]

https://www.thewrap.com/star-wars-andor-revenue-disney-plus/

[novel magnet]

I don't mean to say the other things aren't good, but Andor is so quacking good see Disney, this is what happens when you make amazing things.

[slim hull]

Speaking on inspiration with Ghorman… Any idea on the language? We were getting French vibes.

[spring quarry]

Not surprised it's such an amazing show that doesn't rely on having a ton of prior star wars knowledge

Ahsoka is good, but short and relies on you having seen Rebels to really understand it's characters. Book of Boba Fett was just terrible outside of a few scenes and the prequel to s3 mandalorian lol

[astral hound]

kinda spoilery: ||Basically, Ghorman is space-Milan (for the fashion industry) but the language is using French phonetics, but constructed grammar and vocabulary. All the Ghormans are French actors as well. The additional French aspect is that the Ghorman front is modeled after the WWII French resistance.||

[spring quarry]

That makes a lot of sense. And I caught that vibe as well

[slim hull]

Oh!! That makes total sense.

[tawny igloo]

I thought they included German actors as well and that was what was confusing some people. I’ve called the Dutch (as in Netherlands) language the French German.

[astral hound]

This really is a show you need very little background, All you need to know is that the Empire is the big bad. Sure you won't the thousand little references and easter eggs, but the general story is relatable and easily understood.

[slim hull]

“The Empire is the big bad”😂

[novel magnet]

Isn't the one dude German?

[spring quarry]

Exactly, it's also what made the Mandalorian so wildly popular outside of star wars fans

[tawny igloo]

I will also add that I thought the Bobf was awesome and scratched a lot of itches for me. But yeah a good half of it needs another show to fully appreciate it.

I’d say The Acolyte is on par with Andor except it revolves around the Force.

The Acolyte is something one in the Andor universe may watch or read about to escape with some mystery/fantasy genre. Which fits in with the overall SW universe. Like how the kids in Skeleton Crew watch/read.

It all comes together!

Also I think streaming services have finally gone through with their threat of blocking different households sharing sign ins. My mom said hulu and Disney+ kicked her out from using ours. So it may be forcing people to subscribe if they want to continue watching Andor.

[steady falcon]

The Andor Black Series figures are all $15 or even lower on Amazon. I only bought Mon Mothma when they released back in mid 2023 so I may pick up a few of them.

[languid topaz]

I’d noticed the breathing mask and pointed it out earlier but this is a good illustration

[blazing barn]

So...

How many Mon Mothma fans do we have here?

[steady falcon]

raises hand - Genevieve O’Reilly has me rethinking my SW character rankings. I don’t see how I can keep Mon out of the top 10!

[blazing barn]

cough
If you are a Mon Mothma fan, you will probably be interested in our newest shirt design (courtesy Rooks, who I will not tag right now as its late)

BUT SINCE ITS SO CLOSE TO MIDNIGHT ON THE 4TH AND I LOVE YOU ALL...

Actual announcement coming tomorrowish.

[tawny igloo]

It’s Andor Eve!!

[novel magnet]

Next meetup I'm going to ask if people are excited and then hand them this sticker.

[languid topaz]

FML, both have to work until 9 tonight and my audiologist broke my hearing aids last Thursday and promised they’d be fixed by Monday. Then said oh they’ll definitely be in today. Then said oh for sure they’ll be in tomorrow. So, basically deaf and won’t be able to enjoy watching tonight.

[weary panther]

Sorry, hope they get in soon

[spice dagger]

That sucks! They couldn't even give you a loaner pair in the meantime?

I won't be able to watch until the weekend, so I'll be muting this whole thread before 9 tonight

[languid topaz]

Nope, my hearing loss is so bad I require an extra part inside my ear to further amplify the sound and without those the rest of the hearing aid is useless

And I get to work 10-3 the next two days so even if I somehow do get my aids back tomorrow I won’t be able to watch until evening

[spice dagger]

Really extra sucks that the audiologist broke them, then

[languid topaz]

Yeah, was just trying to have them show me how the two halves separate, handed them off and then waited until they came back and signed/shouted that they’d broken them

Like wtf, 30 second visit turns into me being deaf for a week

[frank oasis]

Maybe re-watch ||Vel’s speech at the end of episode 6|| and paraphrase some choice comments for the audiologist.

||”You should carry this forever.”||

||My hearing aids were everything you’ll never be.”||

||”Stop crying.”||

Not sure if this has been posted here already, but I’d love to get into this ride.

[languid topaz]

Got my hearing aids back finally, first thing I’m doing when I get home from work is watching the new eps

[frank oasis]

You’ll be able to hear all the pathos.

[novel magnet]

And the two dozen Wilhelm screams when Vader shows up and starts sabering ISB agents.

[quartz elk]

Remember at the end of S1 Luther seemed to want to kill Andor. Why did he end up not going through with that in S2? They never really explained it I feel.

[rocky snow]

Andor proved himself useful to the cause. Some people become more trouble than they’re worth like Tay and others who flew too close to the sun

[tired compass]

That’s exactly how I feel

I have to watch Andor as soon as it corks before social media spoils it for me

[blazing barn]

Huzzah!

[quartz elk]

Okay gotcha thanks.

[languid topaz]

Welp I spent the last 4 1/2 hours after work getting caught up, and now want to watch the latest arc over again immediately. So epic

I honestly don’t know what the last arc could be about, I think every clip they used in the trailers, the full scene has been shown.

Maybe we’ll finally see a bothan

[steady falcon]

Maybe time to extract Supervisor Lonni Jung? Side tangent: I’ve a share of family members with the surname “Jung” so Lonni kind of feels like family and I hope for a somewhat reasonable ending for him though either Partagaz or Luthen can bring his demise.

[languid topaz]

Maybe ||try to kill Dedra again?||

[novel magnet]

they need to learn about the death star

[languid topaz]

Ah yes, the pilot

[heady ocean]

The Ring of Kafrene

[frank oasis]

I seem to recall from the trailer (or one of the trailers) we saw ||a KX droid that was possibly K2 shove someone off a walkway?||

I don’t ||think that moment was from Ghorman so it was probably from the final arc.||

[languid topaz]

I must not have caught that, but they definitely pulled hard from the first three arcs and then tossed them in a blender to make trailers

[languid topaz]

God this show is too good, I’m trying to get caught up on the latest Last of Us and can’t stop thinking about Andor lol

[languid topaz]

https://youtu.be/tak7Ebt_ptc?si=BnE89qUbs5_OdQQk

This was a thrilling ride.

Who’s ready for B2EMO’s big fight scene next week?

[frank oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-me-saturday-night-live-snl-uso-performance-thats-me-call-my-name-gif-19743416

Ok but now I’m picturing B2EMO dressed as Rambo.

With a piece of cloth wrapped around his forehead area, and maybe with a bandolier of shell cartridges, and with two rifles stuck to his sides.

[balmy maple]

If I get to see B2EMO racking the slide on a pump-action shotgun, I can die happy

[frank oasis]

But the piece de resistance is that he rolls up dressed like that to whoever he’s fighting…

And just sticks out his taser probe (that he used to shock the hound in S1E1) and electrocutes them.

[balmy maple]

“The only good Imperial is a d-d-d-d-dead Imperial.”

[frank oasis]

Lol

Poor B2

We love to imagine him taking down Imps, but fighting is probably the last thing he wants to do.

He’s so sweet and pure hearted.

I've been wondering this ever since the trailer dropped: Is that clone armor?

[balmy maple]

Whatever it is, they’re making an action figure of it https://www.target.com/p/star-wars-the-black-series-isb-tactical-agent/-/A-93566553

[frank oasis]

A combination of tactical armor and the poofy pants.

Truly the best of both worlds. 😂

[analog rover]

Only a spoiler if you haven't seen the first season at least.

[languid topaz]

The poofy pants on Dedra just make me laugh lol, she’s got such a slim figure then there’s the inflatable pants lol

Like I can’t help but think of the first episode of Band of brothers where Ross from friends dresses down the new recruits for blousing their pant legs over their boots to look like a qualified paratrooper

[still nimbus]

Im sad we've reached the end and super excited at the same time. lol

[heady ocean]

Once it is over, we just start the Andor - Rogue One - ANH rewatch cycle

[languid topaz]

Yeah should we have a R1 rewatch thread for us all to re-experience the movie?

Cause they definitely weren’t wrong in how it would completely change our view of R1

[languid topaz]

The force healer scene is like that, it almost seems out of place in Andor, but if you can see the future, it’s like a sign he’ll meet the Guardians of the Whills

[weary panther]

The question is do I go rewatch 1 and 2 of Andor or watch Rogue 1 then maybe rewatch all of them

[languid topaz]

I think it’ll be impactful to watch r1 right after eps 10-12, but I’ll want to binge s1, s2 and then r1

[novel magnet]

discussing a R1 group watch so we can all ugly cry together

[heady ocean]

As one

[novel magnet]

though I may end up liking Jyn less. "you've been here for like three weeks stfu look at everything Cassian has sacrificed!"

[heady ocean]

“You’re no Bix!”

[frank oasis]

Jyn: “Hey, I didn’t even want to be here!”

We need a Jyn show or movie.
Set when she was with Saw and the partisans.

[heady ocean]

I want a Mon show after Return of the Jedi

[frank oasis]

That too.

But just now I realize I’d be really interested in observing Saw and Jyn’s relationship when Jyn was younger.

[heady ocean]

Have you read Rebel Rising?

[frank oasis]

I have not.

Because I think I didn’t know it existed until I looked it up just now.

But I guess it covers what I wanted to see.

…ok but can we maybe get, I dunno…a short live action thing with Forest Whittaker?

Because I’d like to see his take on it.

Also I’m kind of imagining their relationship as slightly similar to Young Marceline and Simon Petrikov from Adventure Time.

Just with more guerrilla warfare.

[languid topaz]

I need more Erskine. I just love the exchange between Mon and him after her encounter with Luhthen. “I’ve tried to protect you” “and you’ve failed” “I’m sorry you feel that way”

SWE said it best that sometimes the truth could also be your biggest adversary. Mon feels he’s betrayed her, but in his mind he’s kept her safe

[signal sierra]

Wouldn’t it be amazing if this scene was recreated in live action for episode 10???? I know that General Draven says that Gold Leader will be bringing her in, but man we have the whole Ghost Crew already in live action!!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[blazing barn]

Year time jump tho. But a great thought

[signal sierra]

The Ghost was in Rogue One so it’s most likely they were already part of the rebellion. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[languid topaz]

Yeah like Bird said it ended at the point where Rebels picked up, so there’s about 0 chance we see it in live action. But we got a reference to what happens

[wheat matrix]

Just got caught up. Wow. So many great story lines. So I didn’t backscroll to see if it was discussed, but you think we will find out who Uncle Harlo is? Seems like that is a minor twist that could be explored.

[frank oasis]

While I would be very amused if Uncle Harlo (or Eedy Karn for that matter) ended up playing some sort of role in the final arc, it seems unlikely.

They would have to be pieces in the final plot line, which at minimum needs to involve ||the secret of the Death Star beginning to come to light||.

[wheat matrix]

Uncle Harlo may have friends in many places 😀

[frank oasis]

Lol he might.

It’s a non-zero chance he gets name dropped one more time.

[wheat matrix]

Syril ‘s story arc did conclude well. I guess I just wasn’t ready for it to end yet.

[languid topaz]

Uncle Harlo is Mon’s contact on coruscant through Davo

I hope

[wheat matrix]

Could be.

[languid topaz]

Would be soap opera perfect if he was helping the person who was rescued by the guy who killed his nephew, but doesn’t seem right for Gilroy

[spring quarry]

I would hate that

Would be so campy imo

[languid topaz]

Yeah

Too predictable, the entire show has been curveballs

[spring quarry]

It would cheapen the seriousness of the show too

[languid topaz]

Luthen framing Uncle Harlo to discredit Martyr Syril? Fitting

[spring quarry]

Syril isn't a marter

He's just another dead imperial amongst many

No one knows his name

[languid topaz]

The imperial news will be calling him one, or at least Eedy will

[spring quarry]

Not even Andor lol

[spring quarry]

They didn't though, they just talked about all the imperials in general, they didn't mention anyone's name

[languid topaz]

He’ll probably be the “important” of the worker ants who died

[spring quarry]

Don't forget we're jumping another year forward

[languid topaz]

Yeah it’ll be interesting to see how it’s remembered on the imperial side

Or if it’s even remembered at all

[spring quarry]

Ghorman will have been forgotten by the imperial propaganda machine most likely

[languid topaz]

Yeah

Another day another atrocity

[spring quarry]

I loved the Rebels tie in though

Would like to see more subtle references to stuff in the final arc

[languid topaz]

I hope, they’ve been good about that stuff so far

[heady ocean]

This may be funnier than the Ben Mendelsohn one https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIZt0YwAnsb/?igsh=MWQwZWZmOTh2aXNueg==

Just shows again you don’t need to be great at Star Wars trivia to be great in Star Wars

[novel magnet]

to be fair that question doesn't even make sense

rank how? rank in what?

[frank oasis]

It’s unspecific on purpose.

Generally supposed to be most awesome / greatest respected I think?

[novel magnet]

so I don't blame her. especially when they were fed one at a time

[frank oasis]

She didn’t even make a bad list.

Both versions are acceptable.

[ornate citrus]

Embarassingly, I only thought there were 9 total episodes this season. Don't know why that was stuck in my brain. Can you imagine my excitement when I just found out there were three more left?

[languid topaz]

Yeah there’s too many characters to possibly make a top 5, especially when you don’t know the list, or in her case even know the characters that well lol. All for getting a reaction out of them, which I think her comment on Star Wars fans dragging her for not knowing Leia’s last name might be more true than I want it to be

I think Mendelsohn’s “cause I’m waiting for you to say Luke F’ing Skywalker” is my favorite lol

[languid topaz]

Yay, finally between me and my brother in law, got my parents to start watching. But they just dove into s2 lol, started asking questions about episode 1 and I was like, man, that’s from a few years ago let me try to recall

First one, then the other.

This series wouldn't have been the same without her.

also, I AM NOT READY FOR THIS TO END

[blazing barn]

I am not ready for this to end, either, my friend...

[novel magnet]

We're planning on R1 next Tuesday to ugly sob even harder after seeing everything Cassian went through to get to that point.

[blazing barn]

Oh?

[novel magnet]

Because I ugly sob through R1 anyway. This is not going to help!

[chilly delta]

This live stream is so good

[heady ocean]

Interesting insight on the ||who are you?|| line

[blazing barn]

Anyone else still have the livestream on and crying with me? Jesus....

[heady ocean]

Can’t believe she hadn’t watched it yet!

[blazing barn]

RIGHT?!

[languid topaz]

Who hadn’t watched what? Sadly at work so can’t watch the stream. I’m guessing Dedra or Bix’s actor hasn’t watched rogue one?

[heady ocean]

Bix’s actor hadn’t watched ||her goodbye to Cassian in Ep 9|| until the livestream

[novel magnet]

She didn't even watch it last week?

Tbf I would hate watching myself, so I get it.

[heady ocean]

Btw if you’re also disappointed by the relative lack of Andor merch, the Micro Galaxy Squadron U-Wing is a nice substitute

[novel magnet]

Zero Andor merch, that's even with S1 being sparse.

(also orb spotting!)

[heady ocean]

ABO - Always Be Orbing

[astral hound]

Someone at Disney needs slapped for the lack of Andor merch

They could have raked in sales of stuff while the show was running

I can just imagine some exec at a meeting "Wow the new show is doing great, I bet it drove a ton of retail sales... How much did we sell?" "Sorry sir, we had nothing to sell"

https://tenor.com/view/window-meeting-bye-walkout-im-done-gif-14366322

[heady ocean]

I had to get MOC instructions for a Lego Fondor Haulcraft and buy a replica of Cassian’s blaster on Etsy. SMH (although I realize the blaster would be a no go these days)

[summer latch]

Diego Luna almost got arrested for having it, because he left the prop in his hand luggage at the airport, sooooo yeah.

[heady ocean]

Yeah, I saw the Jimmy Kimmel interview

[summer latch]

I didn't even know there was one. I just saw an X post about it.

[novel magnet]

Even things like shirts, hats, bags. I bought a S1 crossbody at the time.

There was very little Skeleton Crew or Acolyte, also. Star Wars without merch, it's insanity

[summer latch]

For Skeleton Crew, I think the most important thing is that we got SM-33 with a removable Snowball. A hull demolition-capable Onyx Cinder would've been nice, but that's probably hard to engineer in a toy or model.

[cedar sage]

Agreed, if only because I need a Rianza set. Apparently they invented a full set of rules for it. Seems perfect for a GE release.

[vast hemlock]

I’m not okay about this.

[heady ocean]

All because two corporate cops harassed a guy at a brothel

[novel magnet]

And then Syril had to be extra about it when his boss didn't feel like the paperwork for two poodooheads messing with the wrong guy.

[languid topaz]

Yeah almost all on Syril ignoring his boss. If he hadn’t those two guys deaths would have been swept under the rug, and then who knows if Cassian demands to meet/sell the starpath unit to Luthen

Life goes on as usual on Ferrix, Aldhani fails cause he wasn’t there

[frank oasis]

Syril was important

But don’t tell Syril that

He’ll get the wrong idea

[heady ocean]

Important in a way he would hate lol

[frank oasis]

Lol true

But knowing Syril he’d probably misinterpret the reason for his importance.

So it’s better that “who are you?” was the last thing he heard.

[languid topaz]

I’m not sure what’s more devastating for the person that heard it. That line, or Dedra having Krennic say “if you aren’t a rebel spy you missed your calling”

It was fun placing his side trip to interrogate Dedra in the R1 timeline

I believe would have been during the sequence after he left the Death Star to go to Scarif, but before he went to beg Vader for an audience with the Emperor

So he drops a zinger on Dedra and then has Vader drop one on him lol

[frank oasis]

It would be before any part of Rogue One I think?

So it’s Tarkin who pulls the rug out from Krennic next.

But Vader has the witty line.

[languid topaz]

I swear he says something about him having to come to her interrupting a trip to Scarif

[frank oasis]

He definitely did.

But it seems pretty clear that all of Andor takes place before Cassian goes to Kafrene.

[languid topaz]

Yeah guess I’m just messing up the timeline, didn’t think he had any other reason to go to Scarif before but maybe it was a second office

[heady ocean]

Aww

Wow I guess Kleya’s actor Elizabeth Dulau is basically a rookie actor, this was her first role

https://tenor.com/view/senator-palpatine-anakin-skywalker-phantom-menace-gif-10607636

[weary panther]

Finally time to watch the last 2 episodes

[chilly delta]

It was not her first role.

[languid topaz]

Hmm, I guess maybe just first big ticket movie gig

[chilly delta]

This probably wasn’t a well paying job.

[chilly delta]

But she has been seen by a lot of people and is part of the Star Wars universe, which is probably the best part. If she does cons and autographs etc, she might make some money.

[languid topaz]

I wonder if she renegotiated for season 2 after killing it in season 1 and there being a big pause between production

But yeah probably not

[chilly delta]

Doubtful.

Disney is known for saying ‘okay no problem we’ll write you out.’ People tend to make SAG minimum with these movies, and just take the job to be in a Star War.

(I’d do that)

[heady ocean]

Nice profile of Elizabeth Dulau in the Hollywood Reporter! Hope she gets some nice roles after her big break! https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/andor-elizabeth-dulau-kleya-finale-1236216087/

[chilly delta]

Sag minimum is around $15k an episode, and actors no longer get payments after their initial hire. So usually once a show is made, they don’t continue to make money even if the show continues to get viewers.

[dark mango]

Was Andor made in the UK or US

I'm pretty sure some of these actors are UK guild

[heady ocean]

Primarily filmed in the UK. Nice tax breaks. Also filming in Spain

[chilly delta]

It’s complicated. The UK is a disaster to film in now because of brexit. The tax breaks can be useful in the EU. We made a film in the UK and in Hungary last year. Andor was on hold because of the directors guild of America, and because of the SAG strike. Anyway. Obviously I don’t know their contractual deals, but I know they were affected by the SAG strike and I know that skeleton crew had a SAG cast.

[dark mango]

I see

Yeah I remember Gilroy wasn't able to do any additional writing duties

Not that the show needed any imo
