Andor Andor Episode 2.03 Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

When in war, you keep your kid close to you, the alternatives to taking him with her were leaving him in custody of someone else.
Also… that kid was born in war and has the force… he is Kanan’s and Hera’s son he is born battle ready.
I don’t think we can understand the reasoning of a parent in a war zone… how nice for us (Luthen's quote reference Ehehe)

 

Also, taking your kid to war is par for the course in Star Wars!

 

I thought taking your kid to the next mission on Isla (insert name here). Was par for the course in the Jurassic Park/world movies?

 

Absolutely Great ep.

I was thinking for a sec Brasso was gonna get away, but the writers made the right choice. With all those stormtroopers firing, it would have been ridiculous if he escaped.

Almost feels like Gilroy was setting us up to think Brasso was gonna make it, and that they were really gonna go with the stormtroopers can’t aim trope. But hey, at least one of them can !

 

That one stormtrooper read all the online criticism of stormtrooper aim, and was determined to prove the fandom wrong. So it’s all your fault that Brasso’s dead.

 

While the first two were 10's from me, gave this an 8, because the climatic battle on Mina-Rau I felt was a bit predictable. Sad for poor Brasso.

 

It's now one of my favourite Star wars battles/skirmishes
On an I related note all the furore about the box scene is so OTT as it was certified 12+ all of Harvest was incredibly powerful

 

That would be my Youngest, whose genetics should include a Star Wars allele from me, but do not. He drives me to the latest film, watches it with me, we wear capes and swing lightsabers in a theater's lobby until The Man makes us leave them at the refreshment stand until after the film ... and still isn't an especial fan. But he wants to see Andor because "it's about everyday life in the Empire and non-Jedi, Mom!!!" so there's hope for him after all.

It's especially neat to read this ep's thread because 1. I thought Cassian killed Brasso in "friendly fire", felt terrible, and hid it from his pals. I'm pleased to be set straight. 2. The speculation on what comes next from the posters continues to enthrall, and 3. The choreography of the dance scenes shows superbly the scope of the crowd because instead of focusing on fancy footwork that couldn't showcase more than a few dancers, we see an ocean of gesticulating arms, sort of like The Wave at a ball game.

 

A Mexican wave? The dance scenes were brilliant. A great juxtaposition made my head spin.
