Andor Official "Andor" Series Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

That sounds very prude to me.

There was nothing wrong with that scene. People have these kinds of relationship all the time, and they are natural.
Plus, you don't know how intimate they were. All the scenes between them hinted at least some level of intimacy.
They don't have to be all lovey dovey epic romance Casablanca style all the time.
Marriage is a human construct anyway.

 

I'm also getting an extra layer of "entitled incompetence". I think he got a higher rank because of familial status, but that's assumption, what I mean is he didn't start out as one of the "grunts" and has little to no experience beyond the classroom. Maybe becoming more and more obsessed after every bad decision and resulting failure? Perhaps he is ejected from corporate security after the mess he created going over his bosses head, and he totally blames Cassian for ruining his career?

 

I did an Internet search and have not seen this mentioned so please forgive me if it's been pointed out already.

Isn't the whole Star Wars saga supposed to take place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away? In the intro to Andor, with the crescent of the planet on screen but before the Andor text appears, look at the very bottom of the screen, left of center and you'll see probably the most well known and recognizable asterism of Earth's night sky as seen from the northern hemisphere: the Big Dipper.

Does this mean that the saga is being told from the perspective of a sentient being in another galaxy and that our own Milky Way galaxy is that of all the action? Are the ancient alien theorists correct?

 

Intresting, before the clone wars. So Kassa/Cassian age retcon! So this flashback is between TPM and ATOC. So its all still the republic.

 

Imagine explaining it in the actual episode, and not on StarWars.com

 

They will probably in the coming episodes, this just extra bonus.

 

IT seems Cassian Andor is instead 9 years older then we thought he was in Rogue One. Making him 30 years old in this show. Its also good if you want to do more stories with Andor before the show.

 

One of my favorite scenes! The dialogue (like many scenes) was really top notch!

 

Interesting . . .

So the ship was indeed CIS, makes sense given the uniforms and maybe sinister cargo. I like the “retcon” to make Cassian older, as Diego doesn’t really pass for a late-20’s early-30’s guy anymore and shouldn’t need to.

 

I wonder if Kassa/Cassian was born during TPM. Maybe two years earlier.

 

I'm glad they seem to have adjusted his age. I always thought he was too young before.

 

IT also opens up for more storytelling before Cassian Andor joins the Rebel Alliance. Like he could be the Han Solo type character. From his profil it sounds like he has had trouble with the law.

 

It's just not important for the story being told in the episode. Not to mention that there are still 9 episodes left in the series.

One of the best, yeah. What's his name from the Vale was great!

 

This show doesn’t feel like Star Wars as I’ve known it thus far. I really like that more that I thought I would.

The show didn’t really grab me until episode 3, but this far I’m enjoying it very much.

After rewatching this recent episode, I think Krennic coming to the new planet, it is more and more likley. Somone from Corucant.

 

I’ll be disappointed if the series doesn’t eventually show the destruction of Alderaan from the Senate POV and Palpatine disbanding the Senate.

And I hope to see corrupt Senators. In the prequels we were really only introduced to the morally upstanding Senators like Padme, Bail, and Mon (and others) in the Delegation of 2,000 scenes.

Though there were plenty of references to Senators being corrupt, we never really got to meet many any that sided with Palpatine.

We could see the start of the senate being disbanded. We could get hints of Alderaan being targeted for destruction. Im sure one day we will see another version of Alderaan being destroyed.

 

True. Unless they do like TCW which ran concurrently with ROTS in its final season.

In Kenobi, Bail is reluctant to travel. But in Rogue One, both he and Mon Mothma are openly leading the Rebellion.

Even if we don’t see Alderaan destroyed and THE end of the Senate, we could see some kind of Ba’ath Party-esque purge of the Senate pre-ANH that finally forces Senators into open rebellion by the time of Rogue One

(I just want one Palpatine in the Senate scene where he’s being evil, not simply commenting on someone’s agitation)

I think they should have the disbandment happen a few days earlier so it more easily fits into the show timeline. And I think "disbandment" should be horrifying. Potentially even a Red Wedding-style mass killing/ mass imprisonment of suspect Senators.

That said, the show could easily continue on for a few days after Cassian's death due to the sheer number of characters it's following. Having Mothma flee into exile after the disbandment of the Senate, for example, can certainly be included even after Cassian's death. Perhaps narratively tied to a conversation Cassian and Mothma have on the eve of the Scarif battle. Something to connect Mothma's actions when she flees to a promise she made to Cassian, or something like that. Just to keep the epilogue consistent with the show's name.

 

This show, thus far, is more like what I thought Rebels was going to initially be. With the heroes starting out small, and dealing with local law enforcement before escalating to inquisitors, stormtroopers, and possibly Vader and Tarkin by the end of the series. But instead the Inquisitor was introduced immediately and Vader, Maul, Palpatine, and Thrawn were all included.

I am enjoying seeing the bureaucracies react to this Rebel activity and the slower escalation. The Corporate security leader didn’t want to investigate the killings, and there’s no cooperation among the ISB into dealing with a growing Rebel threat.

While I’m down for a Palpatine Senate appearance, I would prefer it if Star Wars stays away from the more fanciful Dark Side villains. But there would be room I think to show someone like Kallus or Yularen get involved, if the timeline allows it.

Thus far it’s refreshing that I haven’t seen a Star Destroyer barreling down on the heroes yet.
