Andor Andor Episode 2.05 Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

was not expecting the Empire to reboot General Grevious and he was the reason Saw lost his appendages and had to be put in a suit like Vader.

 

And then to double down on it with Saw saying that Vader was one of his heroes despite the ideological differences was actually kind of touching.

 

Smart money says next episode, Saw gets his hallway battle.

 

Yep, Grevious is back, and you knew his Rebel faction would not have gotten along with Saw.

 

So wait. Does this mean that Brasso is Snoke’s dad?

 

Yes.

Snoke's original name was Snare. They changed it because it was a too obvious drum'n'bass reference.

 

Ha! More like 'dumb-ass' reference, amirite?

 

Mon Mothma has an affair with Krennic to avoid being caught

 

The stress is really getting to these characters. Bail Organa doesn't even look like himself anymore.

 

I never would have guessed in a million years that "Bail" would be revealed to not be Bail Organa's given name. That his actual name is Jim—Jim Organa—was a huge surprise, let alone that he gained the nickname "Bail" from his tendency as a young man to flake out on social events amongst the Alderaanian teen elite.

 

This is where the fun begins

 

So the fun begins five hours before the new episodes air?

 

This came out before E4?

 

In E5, towards the end of the episode, many viewers will begin to complain about the lack of conspicuous aliens. "Too many humans" takes them out of the fictional world.

And then suddenly, before anyone can post their important feelings in forums or social media, a battalion of Stormtroopers remove their masks, revealing an unrecognizable alien species.

After the credits roll, viewers complain about random non-SW aliens that take them out of the fictional world.

 

lol

just realized syril’s office looks like a Star destroyer bridge

 

Oh wow, they brought back the original Ghorman massacre, including Tarkin landing on the protesters

 

Saw is a beast!

 

I didn’t know the OG massacre from legends was in (circa) 18 BBY. So they actually did manage to one canon Rebels and the EU. Neat

 

Spoiler

D’Qar! That’s cool that they base Saw there. Nice little connection to TFA.

 

I thought that was a very clever reworking of legends...they obviously can't use Tarkin...but they honoured the event..just altered the timeline a little
Another great episode of espionage. 9/10

 

Which way will the cookie crumble is how I was interpreting the characters of this show. Everyone that was picked for season 1 has upped their game and has become an even greater actor. Now the show is full of them.
I like Andor getting called out. He will need to evaluate how he handles these Rebel cells moving forward. I was really thinking Syril was starting to break away from the Imperial mindset for a bit. But alas, there won't be a moment of him spying on Dedra for the Ghorman Rebellion....
Saw is one crazy Rebel. So the guy being trained on the energy device was the guy from the Idiot brigade?
Is it me or is Kleha hotter this season. Same hair, same outfits but there's something there. I wasn't following the whole inspection of artifact part so I'll need a rewatch.
The back of Moroff's head...I have spoken.

 

Cassian got called out for not being OK with Luthen using the Ghorman resistance to precipitate an Imperial atrocity. He’s the good guy in this situation, not Luthen.

And no, that wasn’t the same guy from the Rebel Idiot Brigade. Same hair, different face. And name.

Both the back and front of Moroff’s head! This is what I came for.
