Good to hear about Andor. I've been meaning to watch it.

Andor gives me hope we can get a Darth Bane arch.  Talent is there and like the Sith, nothing worth doing should be hurried.   Andor pacing would work for a dark side focused series.

Counter point to building the rebelion was the 1000+ years of positioning to build the empire.

He is acknowledged in CloneWars and that whole realm of the creation of the rule of two needs doing correctly or not at all.

No need to safeguard them as they inaccesable to inmates.  
I do think the "late" guard will play a role in the escape though.

I’d love to think that Luthen figures out where Andor is and sends Saw to break him out. But, I doubt that he’d be able to find out that Andor is using a different name in an episode.

Daedra Meero's (blonde ISB woman) voice sounded familiar. Couldn't place it and gave up.

IMDB says she voiced Yennefer in the Witcher 3 game, a character with a similar sense of self importance.

 "Saw is as unhinged as always. Would like to see his group doing some more gangster shit."

Saw is actually pretty level at this point still. He is remembering the lesson learned in trusting the Republic on Onderro.

I can dig exposition, world building and character development...but every scene is 15 seconds too long and there are lots of set up scenes, filler scenes, extra scenes and scenes that go nowhere.
All of Mon Mothma's party scenes in this Ep were just wheel spinning. Literally nothing moved forward.
It's a good show but much too drawn out.

Still the best produced and written of anything StarWars to date.   Basically it is getting to the point where there is a scale.

If you never heard of the character then it is on the "good" end of the spectrum.   If you have heard of the character then it is going to be on the shit end of the spectrum as they phone it in.

I’m betting there’s a network of rebels at the prison. Melshi is at his table also, Melshi is Andor’s buddy in Rogue One. Plus the signaling between the tubes.

I think the purpose of the Mon Mothma scenes was to show the stark difference between their daily lives. Her scenes seemed to always pop up when something especially bad was happening to Cassian.

A story is more than plot...theme matters also. Intercutting between Cassian, Mon, and Syril shows how they're all in their own prisons. I wouldn't trim a second. Totally captivating episode.

Also, there was like five solid minutes of gay stuff and it didn't feel shoved down your throat, preachy, or tacked on. The fact that they managed not to annoy me there was impressive. Two hardcore, freedom loving women with meaningful things to do and say kept me invested in the parts of their characters that matter.

Watching this show, I keep thinking how funny it is that the writers are probably pretty left of center, while I'm pretty right, and yet we all hate the goddamn government. Saw's rant against ideologically impure groups that share a common goal was on the money.

If you take Disney's Mon Mothma canon background seriously, it also shows how badly she eventually fucks up. She ends up leading the New Republic but screws up so badly the First Order re-emerges back into the scene and leads to the events of the subsequent 3 movies. Makes this show really depressing actually.

Yeah, doubt it's a diversion. They seem like they'd be absolutely necessary to an escape attempt, unless there's something extraordinary that happens for shutting that whole system down.

I suppose that might be where Luthen (and possibly Saw) ties in again, if it is a diversion.

And those people are wrong.

It takes place between the prequels and the OT.  Story-wise that's a very dark time.  The main characters make a heroic sacrifice to save the galaxy.  Not every story has to have a happy ending for the main characters.

Oh absolutely. There's a stab at Trump in the last episode.

The thing is, I'm watching it thinking the Empire is like the Dems, the writers think they're portraying Republicans (as did Lucas)...where is the disconnect? We all perceive our leaders as enemies of freedom, but from opposite sides of the spectrum. Why don't we have any common ground?

I think they're delusional of course, and they probably think the same of me. Meanwhile the uniparty laughs at us plebs.

The Death Star and Star Destroyers are legitimate military targets containing almost entirely military personnel.

Meanwhile, prior to the first Death Star's destruction, the empire destroyed an entire planet, snuffing out the lives of a billion civilians in an instant.

To conflate the two is asinine.  It's akin to saying the Allies were just as evil as the nazis because of the civilian casualties the Germans endured. It's a preposterous argument.  The Empire are not the good guys, and never will be.

Cassian and Mon will cross paths in season 2, the details are more important than they may appear.

Of course they do.

Everybody fears power in the hands of people with different premises, beliefs, and moral axis/priorities. Easier to just call them evil than to understand them.

The Empire is just blatantly evil for evil's sake, the Emperor is a personification and deification of evil. It fits everyone's intellectually lazy view of their political opponents.

Yep.

Every large corporation is either owned by left wing people, run by left wing people or pretends to be left wing because it’s advantageous. You’re not getting away from it unless you’re a hermit.

Empire also has a lot in common with the British Empire too. They weren't as evil as the nazis but they sure did a lot of fucked up shit too in the name of progress and order. It's no coincidence that all of the Imperial actors are brits.

There are many ways to find entertainment and not be a hermit that doesn't involve feeding leftists.  First off, don't consume their garbage content.  It's shit anyway.  It shouldn't be that hard.
