Andor Andor Episode 2.07 Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

I'm really excited for this next arc. My expectations are high. It's sure to be really good.

Will we finally see the Ghorman Massacre?

 

I really didn’t expect this episode to be so Ewok-centric.

 

Me neither, but I can totally buy into Luthen being the composer of the original Ewok victory song.

 

This arc is going to be peak Andor in that Bix and/or Wilmon will die.

 

the rebel idiot brigade has decided to eat their own boots and are currently engaged in a furious battle of thumb wars to determine whose boots they will eat

 

Everyone dead in the first episode of the arc?

 

I actually really enjoyed the homage to Citizen Kane but the reveal that Krennic was a Star Wars Benjamin Button was a bit too much. Though I did like them showing Palpatine also needs to brush his teeth, even if the scene of said brushing went on about 20 minutes too long.

 

The scene where Palpatine and Wicket have a brush off was amusing.

 

The second Ghorman massacre. I think this will be intense viewing but in a different way to say the Box storyline and the convoy heist. I think we are definitely feeling more rogue one with this arc..at least one hero will die

 

*Luthen standing in the corner with a maraca, grumbling and swaying awkwardly* “Celebrate the love… celebrate the love…”

 

"I burn my life, to make a yub nub i'll never sing"

 

I never thought Andor would be the series that would make me appreciate the subtle caring nature of Ewoks. Their dedication to cape maintenance was unexpected.

 

This is where the fun begins

 

The revelation that Darth Vader's quarters contain a small squad of Ewoks dedicated to cleaning and repairing his capes was a huge shock.

 

Krennic will land the death Star on Ghorman

 

Wow 10/10 stunning

 

draven Dodonna name drops I did the point at screen meme

 

Good choice of words , yes lighting the fuse indeed!!
I can feel the tension with Dedra and Syril...which one goes down to the Empire while the other revolts? Dedra was in that room where she chokes later.
So full on Yavin base at this point! U-Wing! Love those Imperial transports, sweet. Dravin is there and Dodonna mentioned.
Back to Ghorman and blaster is in sniper configuration!

 

Some ambiguous Force-healing in Andor? I like how they did that.

 

I wonder how many bogus "Force healers" the Alliance bases have to put up with.

 

General Draven looking good, nice. Mention of general Dodanna. Some slight force healing nice. Also the French citizen now become a Rebel general

 

I thought it was a really good way of getting some mysticism into the show. We clearly aren’t going to see any force users, so this was a nice touch. It also leads very nicely into the Guardians of the Whills in Rogue One.

 

My immediate response to the Force healer was one of mixed feelings. The fewer Force-wielders in this era, the better, IMO, in order to make Luke as "the last" truer from more points of view. But then I remembered Chirrut Imwe, and given that this is a "prequel" to Rogue One, having a very weak/low-level, non-Jedi Force user amongst the Rebels seemed more plausible. It's a nice thread to tie things together.
