Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Naporter: It was a comical way to show the heavy handed police state of the empire. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut eventually though. It wasn't that funny to me, it reminds me of the time I encountered an asshole cop on a power trip. It was very, very accurate. No wonder why many here on GD side with the Empire. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HeyCoach: Enjoyable episode, very discussion worthy. How is Cassian escaping space Miami jail? Well - there is the small matter of a reprogrammed K2SO upcoming. That would be a strong way to bring him in. K2 and a forged release/relocation/whatever order. I did not read the books and have no idea if this story is tracking cannon. |

I think I already replied. But I’m going to post again anyway. We are enjoying it. It’s not perfect for sure.
I hope they don’t pull the ol’ a Kathleen Kennedy bait and switch, where all the women take over from here on out and Andor will become a lucky bumbling idiot who becomes a hero due to the great women who really made it happen. Nothing wrong with the women helping the scheme but if they have him just become a douche like Kenobi I will be upset. |

Brits make Star Wars better than americans do. We end up with garbage like the Book of Boba Fett. |

I loved Luthen's discussion with Mon Mothma.
How, in giving logic to his actions, he explained the Empire was nibbling at them, little bit by little bit, so often, they didn't even notice anymore. I couldn't help but think he was describing us; here, in the US/West today. |

 Also, who was the girl in the fuck me boots and the red jacket who met with the blonde operative? Man, not exactly being nondescript and subtle! If I was a stormtrooper of a dictatorship, her looks and attitude would have triggered an immediate cavity search just on general principle! |

So the only thing I’m missing is where the story is headed with the failed security services officer now stuck in a cubicle doing fuel inspections paperwork?
I’m just not tracking how he ends up among the series protagonists. Still the best content since the clone wars. |

In the beginning, there were rebel cells of every stripe that fought against the Empire in their own fashion and for their own reasons. The crew of the Ghost did a lot of humanitarian missions while stealing from the Empire. Saw Gerrera’s Partisans were a lot more heavy handed. It took unification to finally take down the Empire. Mon Mothma was a big part of that. |

Did anyone else notice how this episode shifted between different stylistic camerawork and moods? All of the scenes of Kleya meeting with Vel had a very film noir vibe; with low, angled camera shots and a matching score. The scenes with Cassian and Maarva had kind of a Yoda's hut vibe. And y'all already mentioned Miami Beach planet, lol. It felt like there was a little more experimentation in this episode, perhaps as a palate cleanser before the back half of the season. The outro music was pretty trippy, too. I actually sat through all the credits just to listen.

Mon Mothma was a big part of that. I think the other aspect that we're going to see play out is her desire to do things on the down low in the background, whereas he wants more direct action. That's going to lead to a clash over what direction they feel the rebellion should go in. |
