for all future shows you guys should be the test audience. Its interesting how you guys lap up all the kids and teen stuff coz you love star wars and are willing to give a bit of leeway but the way you both are so happy and grateful to have great writing, direction artwork is -- epic -- . This just proves that disney should pay more attention to its audience as I feel most want start wars to have the best talent doing the best job with great scripts.
This is what I'm saying!! His character is just amazing. Cassian is the no-leader leader, the one who motivates everyone else to mobilize, the one who never gives up. I truly believe his character, Diego Luna portrays it just amazingly!! He's one of my favorites now.
“I burned my life for a sunrise I know I’ll never see.” The show is so quotable but not in the prequel meme sense(although their are genuinely great lines). The dialogue is a highlight of this series. Remember how Cassian Jyn died? They died not fully knowing their actions and sacrifice changed the course of galactic history.
The writing on this show is so far superior to anything Star Wars that has come before it's a breath of fresh air. I'm hopefully optimistic that we'll see Kino again, either before the end of this season or perhaps in season two, reuniting with his brothers Cassian and Melshi, since we don't actually see his fate. Maybe they filmed it that way because they weren't sure if they'd be able to get Andy Serkis again so they wanted to leave it ambiguous.
The way he starts at "I made my mind a sunless place" and ends at "I burned my life for a sunrise I know I'll never see" is just brutally tragic and beautiful and poetic. He ruined himself and he knows he won't even survive to see victory, let alone be able to enjoy it.
@@campbell91988 Yep. When he says he says he sacrificed everything, he is speaking the literal truth. His life while he's alive and his body in the end. That is what you call devotion to a cause!
I like to think that he got so caught up in a purpose and the feeling of finally being free that he simply forgot, in the very last moment we see him, he smiles like it was worth it to him or he found it supremely ironic and funny.
My heart shattered when Kino just stood there and said "I can't swim......" OMG after all that please tell me he got away!!!!!! Also the echo on "EVERYTHING"............chills
Kino always knew that he would not be able to get away because he could not swim. He probably thought that he would be killed by the guards before it came to that. Then they succeed and he briefly forgets about it in the euphoria. It's only when he gets to the edge that he remembers that he cannot make it to shore and starts laughing at the tragedy of it all.
".....you get an Emmy, YOU get an Emmy, and YOU get an Emmy!" Jesus.....what an epic "television" episode. The acting and the monologues from this episode were BEYOND amazing.
The ISB agent riding the elevator felt like something out of a horror movie. Like at any second Luthen would press a button and send the man plummeting to his death.
@@eduardoarmenta9232 I suspect that the ISB agent will still meet an unfortunate accident once his usefulness is over. If Luthen did'nt need him he would not have been allowed to leave. To many people already know that he exists its only a matter of time before he gets exposed.
I believe Kino jumped. Even though he couldn’t swim, I think he’d prefer to die trying rather than wait for them to come for him. His entire character arc has been about him waking up to the need to take action. He jumped. That said, I know one thing for certain. They will never tell us, one way or the other.
I wonder how many drowned because they couldn't hold their breath long enough. That fall was going to send them down low into the water and it would be difficult to judge when to hold your breath as you fell. That's also not counting those who probably died from hitting the water badly or those who were too old or tired to make the swim to shore. Its not like we saw lots of people reaching the beach, after all.
Luthen terrifies me. I thought he was going to kill that spy. I was holding my breath towards the end and felt so relieved when the elevator closed. And poor Kino, my heart broke for him. He deserved so much better 😭
I have a theory that the way Mon Mothma will finally tie directly together with Andor next season is the Luthen’s going to want to removed Lieda before the Empire can use her as a hostage to control Mon. This will culminate however in Andor refusing to do it, and Vel killing Luthen.
the entire cast in this have been absolutely fantastic. Classically trained British actors really showing their stuff and it fits PERFECTLY with this atmosphere. What a show.
@she_who_dares I agree, the sheer dedication, the different type of people in that galaxy that took risks and chances to give the future a fighting chance is amazing.
Kino isn’t dumb; he knows the prison is surrounded by water and that they’ll have to swim to escape. Yet even though he probably realizes he won’t make it from the very short, he’s still willing to put his life on the line to help everyone else be free. Its so heartbreaking and inspiring when you look back at it.
I don't hate the sequels, but this show made 4900 men escaping a prison 10,000x more emotional and inspiring than Lando showing up with a billion ships. Most heartwarming Star Wars has felt in a long time.
This is what I mean Disney needs to appeal to the fans that bailed after the sequels because if they do then the it will be good enough for the fans they have left to enjoy as well.
@@wingsoffreedom3589 idek what their mind is going through thinking some of these Star Wars shows are good. Andor and mando: Excellent. The Bad Batch: decent Everything else by Disney is disappointing
No, we mostly made sure a scout plane wandered near the vital area too late for the Germans to react. There was always a visible excuse for how the Germans had been detected.
They (the British) did have warning that the city of Coventry was to be bombed but didn’t warn them, sacrificing the city to preserve the secret that they’d cracked the German cyphers.
@@PaulMcElligott one point here is missed is that we knew it would be Coventry or another area but not which so its less heartless in reality as we couldnt be certain so wasnt worth revealing
@@PaulMcElligott Similarly, the circumstances around the Zimmermann Telegram's release to the US during WW1 were manipulated by the British, who wanted their understanding of the German code systems that enabled its interception kept hidden.
It’s the sentiment that I’ve been waiting for Star Wars to acknowledge for a long time. To fight monsters, you need people that are willing to be monstrous. And in some ways, theirs is the greatest sacrifice.
I'm sure they took a photo of him when he arrived. Word of the prison escape will travel fast to the empire and that's when the ISB will figure out that's where Andor has been the whole time.
Man!!!! Andy Serkis and Stellan Skarsgard really gave it their all in this phenomenal episode, especially the speech that Luthen gave when he mentioned "I burned my life for a sunrise I'll never see." This quote makes so much more significant when Rogue One comes about post season 2. "I can't swim." I'm like: "NO!!!!" But everything of this recent episode is perfection, the build-up from the previous episode was worth it.
The small smile that Kino had when he said "I can't swim" the second time absolutely broke me. He did so much to get the prisoners out and led them to freedom, only to have that realization that he couldn't take part in it. I hope that he and some prisoners stay on the prison, and wait for a transport to come, so they can at least try to overwhelm them and take the ship. If not, I hope he jumped in and got some help, but I don't think we'll ever find out if he escaped or not. God, Andy Serkis is an incredible actor, and I'm really happy he returned to Star Wars for this role, because he killed it.
I just love the wrong idea that Imperials/ISB now have about Andor. Because from their point of view he killed officers steal technology and now infiltrated prison to instigate riots. So for all intents and purposes he is some super important, powerful and dangerous dejarik piece in this whole game.
That monologue that Luthen gave at the end of Episode 10 was truly incredible and the best I ever heard in Star Wars history. It reminded me of the "All those moments will be lost in time......like tears in rain" scene in Blade Runner!!
i know the mon mothma family dynamics are probably not meant to be the most talked about part of the series, but she truly feels like the loneliest woman in the galaxy. oh man i remember reading this quote in school, "Often father and daughter look down on mother (woman) together. They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not bright as they are, cannot reason as they do. This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother’s fate” and i feel like andor used it as a blueprint for mon mothmas family, especially with this dude bargaining for the daughter - its just so damn sad.
Luthen's monologue was probably one of my favorite monologues in anything, ever lol. A Poet and a Rebel. I love how this show is giving more depth to the Rebellion and the founding leadership. Mothma being the moral conscious, Saw the moralless, and Luthen the morally grey. Also hoping Kino lives somehow!
Serkis and Skarsgard are legends. Made me feel like a child on Christmas, can’t praise it enough. This show is such a treat I don’t want it to end. CHILLS ❤
This might have been the best piece of Star Wars media in years. Hell, even without the Star Wars backdrop this would be an incredible show. Each week gets better and better. I can’t even fathom what they have in store for the finale. Sorry for the tldr, great reaction boys 🤘🤘 Ps come check out the metal reactions bro! (Try number 2) 😂
Saw after Luthens monologue and his willingness to sacrifice people in pursuit of the greater goal: Looks like I’m not the only one with clarity of purpose after all…
"And what do you sacrifice?" "Calm. Kindness, kinship. Love. I've given up all chance at inner peace. I've made my mind a sunless place. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there's only one conclusion; I'm damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my...my eagerness to fight, they've set me on a path from which there is no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time I looked down, there was no longer any ground beneath my feet. What is my...what is my sacrifice? I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy, to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else's future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see. And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude. So what do I sacrifice? Everything!"
This episode was insane The tension during the prison break and Andy Serkis and Stellan Skarsgård were incredible I can’t wait to see how the last 2 episodes will be
This have been one of the best Star Wars episodes ever. Andy Serkis just killed it. Amazing acting. Luthens speech was just chefs kiss. He changed the whole tone of the rebellion forever. God I loved every minute.
I feel the Spellhaus attack will be the "lightsaber ship" sequence... Luthen's conscience will not let him sacrifice the 50 men while personal intervention will make sure hs ISB spy is safe.
As soon as you said "Everything", I got chills, because I knew what was coming from Luthen, and because we all know what's coming for Andor. Honestly, this is Star Wars at its very best.
Not so much the monologue by Luthen, but its when he says "we need all the heroes we can get". The rebellion will need heroes like Ahsoka, the Spectres, Han, Luke, Leia, Wedge, Lando, Lonnie here, Bail Organa and Mon etc, to win this fight; but right now, it also needs monsters like Saw, Cassian and Luthen.
I just want to say. The writers. Wrote about a revolution, without holding back, the warts, the struggle. And most of all. They gave the revolution purpose. They showed what was at stake. The best bit, is it is the first time in American cinema that has done this justice. Considering the imperial tendancies of the US. Utter brilliance.
Fun to finally see the stakes at such a high level. Only makes the context later that much more dramatic. How big of a win is it now when Luke blows up the Empires monolithic planet killing construction of terror.
This episode was fuckin epic and bloody briliant !!! I still got chills and shivers , du the escape i was chanting all the time ONE WAY OUT!ONE WAY OUT! ONE WAY OUT !!! LOVED IT
WHAT IF luthen is Kento Marek? He and his wife left the Order before order 66 and his son became STARKILLER ... "I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there’s only one conclusion: I’m damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they’ve set me on a path from which there is no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost, and by the time I looked down, there was no longer any ground beneath my feet."
The whole cast and crew need to be acknowledged for the episode in particular. The acting. The action. The sets. The effects. The WRITING! THIS IS STAR WARS AT IT'S BEST.
The "one way out" is the elevator to the assembly floor from the guard room. Everywhere else they normally have access to is on that level. Cells, showers, changing rooms. All of the levels are built the same, hence the low guard count at the time.
I’ve noticed you’ve been doing this for a while now - BUT “Are you ready best friend?” So wholesome, it’s not very often that we hear any wholesome shit in the fanbase. It’s nice to hear.
woohooo I got Kleya this week! It seems like every week I say this is the best episode so far...but this episode is one of the best pieces of Star Wars content I've ever seen.
What grabbed me during Skarsgårds dialouge was also the ambiance sound design. That level of detail in this show gave me chills and is really what makes it come alive.
I like how Luthen and Saw have been made to look like two sides of the same coin. Both fanatically devoted to the rebellion but in completely opposites ends of the spectrum
My first thought when they all dove, was how many of them fell on top of each other when free falling like that, so many of them had to have broken by falling on each other
Apart from the electrified floors, the Imps don't seem to have a very well thought-out prison. I bet there's a couple of speeders somewhere on the upper deck for doing exterior inspections of the structure which Kino could use to escape.
I loved the episode, the best one so far, Andor has changed a lot, and he no longer hesitates to shoot an enemy on the ground, a huge change from the first episode, although he still doesn't kill in cold blood except if absolutely necessary. The prison escape is also the first operation that Andor creates and directs instead of being a member of the group. In addition, the empire creates an army of enemies in that prison, gives them order, structure, uniforms, teaches them to march and obey and act as a unit instead of individuals, leaders, hierarchy, discipline and most important of all, a reason to the rebellion The moment someone sees through the lie the entire imperial system falls apart. The more they oppress the more and more enemies they create, until they cannot subdue them all, it is a vicious circle that the Empire itself creates and from which it is unable to escape. It is also the episode of the great speeches, where both Kino and Luthen shine in their scenes. Both excellent characters and they can both go very far, but they will never reach the end of the path, they can only help others to make that path.
award winning episode, omg the monologue, Lonnie"and what do you sacrifice?" Lutherans response FREAKIN HANDS DOWN EPICNESS eg.."I made my mind a sunless space I share my dreams with ghosts im damned for what I do.."OMG
The acting, the dialog, and the action . . . the is Shakespearean Star Wars. This is fantastic! Skarsgard earned a supporting actor in a drama Emmy this episode. Serkis earned guest star in a drama Emmy too!
aaayyy we got the Bendu back for this one! for real? this episode - this series - it's now the best thing I've ever seen from Star Wars (& I am so happy we have this & at the same time I can appreciate & be a fan of things like The Mandalorian or all the animation goodness) God, give Gilroy a trilogy - give HIM the next trilogy - the writing team of he, his brother, Williamson - just everyone - emmys all around.
13:45 100% We NEED an UNDERGROUND Coruscant series! It was great to see some of it in Rebels and Bad Batch. It SERIOUSLY deserves it's on series though!

Yes Skarsgard. Yes Serkis. Yes O’Reilly. Can we take a minute to appreciate the acting of Diego Luna?
Yep, he is like Christian Bale in Nolan's trilogy. Consistently good, but overshadowed by other brilliant performances in his own show.
@@juricadogan3870 Yes!

Yup. Both of them have made this show very compelling with their acting ability.
Just back the award truck up.
the entire cast have been fantastic.
THIS!
I believe it has been a long time since i felt like this.... this Episode deserves at least an Emmy...
Actually, I think the show needs all the awards period
“I burned my life for a sunrise I know I’ll never see.” The show is so quotable but not in the prequel meme sense(although their are genuinely great lines). The dialogue is a highlight of this series. Remember how Cassian Jyn died? They died not fully knowing their actions and sacrifice changed the course of galactic history.
Great comment with just a hint of 😬😬
It’s poetry. And not in the George Lucas it rhymes sense. Just some epic monologues that detail the emotion behind it. It’s beautiful
The writing on this show is so far superior to anything Star Wars that has come before it's a breath of fresh air.

@@campbell91988 Yep. When he says he says he sacrificed everything, he is speaking the literal truth. His life while he's alive and his body in the end. That is what you call devotion to a cause!
The prisoners all know that they’re on a water world. Kino knew the entire time that he wasn’t making it out, and he still did it. A true mad lad.
He just wanted to make sure everyone else had the chance to get out. :(
Is it a water world? They were running on shore near the end. Even still though he definitely knew he most likely wasn't making it out :(
I like to think that he got so caught up in a purpose and the feeling of finally being free that he simply forgot, in the very last moment we see him, he smiles like it was worth it to him or he found it supremely ironic and funny.
Kino sacrificed his life for a sunrise he would never see.
@@promaxmedia7mostly water with some mountains, forest areas, lakes and beaches

He's gone. Who knows? Maybe most of them drowned or were caught by the patrols and only Andor and Melshi escaped.
It’s a callback to Butch and Sundance.
Where is kino ? Is he safe ? Is he alright?
“I burned my life for a sunrise I know i’ll never see” applies to more than just luthen
".....you get an Emmy, YOU get an Emmy, and YOU get an Emmy!"
Jesus.....what an epic "television" episode. The acting and the monologues from this episode were BEYOND amazing.
Nemik: "CLIMB!"
Kino: "You need to run, climb, kill!"
K2SO: “CLIMB! CLIMB! You can still get a signal through…”
I think this is the theme of the series. You have to climb if you wish to survive, succeed, win. It’s a brilliant message honestly
The ISB agent riding the elevator felt like something out of a horror movie. Like at any second Luthen would press a button and send the man plummeting to his death.
I'm pretty sure that was an option in case he couldn't get to him with the speech.

Luthen said to press those 3 buttons if it was a trap. I wonder if that would've blown up the elevator lol.
That's why they used green lighting. It's cool, but once you know the industry tactics, it kinda loses its magic
I imagine the script was just: Stellan and Andy, go get your Emmys
They absolutely owned this episode.

@@Helbore Or you know someone landing on your or even just pushing you down as you try to reach the surface.
Hard disagree, Kino will be captured and interrogated by ISB and will confirm to Dedra that they had Andor in their custody this entire time.
Andor was pushed off because everyone was pushing forward to jump off it’s kinda implied that kino eventually was forced off too
Luthen terrifies me. I thought he was going to kill that spy. I was holding my breath towards the end and felt so relieved when the elevator closed. And poor Kino, my heart broke for him. He deserved so much better 😭
He still might. A cowardly spy who wants out is a risk. He's in an important position, but if an alternative presents itself that dude is dead
I have a theory that the way Mon Mothma will finally tie directly together with Andor next season is the Luthen’s going to want to removed Lieda before the Empire can use her as a hostage to control Mon.
This will culminate however in Andor refusing to do it, and Vel killing Luthen.
That scene with Luthen and Lonnie was powerfull stuff, gave me goosebumps.

"And what do you sacrifice?"
"Calm.

I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see.

This have been one of the best Star Wars episodes ever. Andy Serkis just killed it. Amazing acting. Luthens speech was just chefs kiss. He changed the whole tone of the rebellion forever. God I loved every minute.
Luthen’s speech makes me wish we ever got true Dark Side force wielders on the Rebel side.
16:44 A damn space battle of words ♥ Inlove with Andor!! What a madness.
Might we see the failed Spellhaus attack next week? If Saw had been convinced to help he woulda gotten killed too!
I feel the Spellhaus attack will be the "lightsaber ship" sequence... Luthen's conscience will not let him sacrifice the 50 men while personal intervention will make sure hs ISB spy is safe.
"This went Game of Thrones real quick" killed me 🤣🤣🤣
This might be one of the best episodes. I say that a lot when watching Andor.
4:20 When you are rich enough, but not respected, respectability is the only thing money cannot buy.
you mean like Elon Musk?
@@KyleKatarnChannel good answer
This episode gave me chills all over! The writing, the acting, the music and directing were all top notch! Masterpiece of an episode!
As soon as you said "Everything", I got chills, because I knew what was coming from Luthen, and because we all know what's coming for Andor. Honestly, this is Star Wars at its very best.
Not so much the monologue by Luthen, but its when he says "we need all the heroes we can get". The rebellion will need heroes like Ahsoka, the Spectres, Han, Luke, Leia, Wedge, Lando, Lonnie here, Bail Organa and Mon etc, to win this fight; but right now, it also needs monsters like Saw, Cassian and Luthen.
Seriously it is on purpose, Luthen really likes to dress as a jedi when he drops his arts dealer facade. 😁
Also amazing episode.
I just want to say. The writers. Wrote about a revolution, without holding back, the warts, the struggle.
And most of all. They gave the revolution purpose. They showed what was at stake.
The best bit, is it is the first time in American cinema that has done this justice. Considering the imperial tendancies of the US.
Utter brilliance.
Paddy Consadine, Andy Serkis and Stellan Skarsgard are gonna have a Mexican standoff at the Emmys next year
Each one is in a different category right? Best actor , best guest actor best supporting actor. But not sure about paddy since I didn’t watch it
Fun to finally see the stakes at such a high level. Only makes the context later that much more dramatic. How big of a win is it now when Luke blows up the Empires monolithic planet killing construction of terror.
This series is too damn good. My heart is filled with joy! ❤️
"I can't swin" just became the most heartbreaking line in the history of television.
This episode was fuckin epic and bloody briliant !!! I still got chills and shivers , du the escape i was chanting all the time ONE WAY OUT!ONE WAY OUT! ONE WAY OUT !!! LOVED IT
WHAT IF luthen is Kento Marek? He and his wife left the Order before order 66 and his son became STARKILLER ... "I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there’s only one conclusion: I’m damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they’ve set me on a path from which there is no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost, and by the time I looked down, there was no longer any ground beneath my feet."
he is 100% kento marek
This might be my favourite episode of any Disney Plus series!
I was thinking: The prison outfits (white and orange) could be the inspiration for the rebel pilot-uniforms :P
Love the phrase you guys use to jump off the video. “Do It!” 😂
The way Luthen was dressed I half expected him to pull out a lightsaber.
Anytime a new episode comes out, y'alls is the first reaction I look for! 😍😍
From this point forward, gonna be VERY cognizant of when someone says, "Climb!" in this series.
Superb episode. Skarsgård, O'Reilly and Serkis delivering a punch. Andor is the best Star Wars show hands down! 👌👏👏👏
The whole cast and crew need to be acknowledged for the episode in particular. The acting. The action. The sets. The effects. The WRITING! THIS IS STAR WARS AT IT'S BEST.
i’ve watched Luthen’s monologue like 20 times now and it still gets me. my favorite moment in an amazing season of Star Wars.
14:54 the way luthen said "plan" like he was mocking lonni
The "one way out" is the elevator to the assembly floor from the guard room. Everywhere else they normally have access to is on that level. Cells, showers, changing rooms. All of the levels are built the same, hence the low guard count at the time.
Soooo good!!! Favorite episode yet. Thanks for the reaction guys, feels like i actually have friends to watch with me 😅❤️
I’ve noticed you’ve been doing this for a while now - BUT
“Are you ready best friend?”
So wholesome, it’s not very often that we hear any wholesome shit in the fanbase. It’s nice to hear.
woohooo I got Kleya this week!
It seems like every week I say this is the best episode so far...but this episode is one of the best pieces of Star Wars content I've ever seen.
For me it's one of the best pieces of content i've ever seen period.
What grabbed me during Skarsgårds dialouge was also the ambiance sound design. That level of detail in this show gave me chills and is really what makes it come alive.
As for Luthen keeping assets and information separate, just remember the Sicilian proverb: Three can keep a secret if two are dead.
I like how Luthen and Saw have been made to look like two sides of the same coin. Both fanatically devoted to the rebellion but in completely opposites ends of the spectrum
"Are you ready best friend?" Was so wholesome
The swimming scene is basically like sea turtles, there are so many eggs because the species knows so few make it.
My first thought when they all dove, was how many of them fell on top of each other when free falling like that, so many of them had to have broken by falling on each other
EPIC!
I got chills during this,
Phenomenal writing ✍ 👏
Apart from the electrified floors, the Imps don't seem to have a very well thought-out prison. I bet there's a couple of speeders somewhere on the upper deck for doing exterior inspections of the structure which Kino could use to escape.
I loved the episode, the best one so far, Andor has changed a lot, and he no longer hesitates to shoot an enemy on the ground, a huge change from the first episode, although he still doesn't kill in cold blood except if absolutely necessary. The prison escape is also the first operation that Andor creates and directs instead of being a member of the group.
In addition, the empire creates an army of enemies in that prison, gives them order, structure, uniforms, teaches them to march and obey and act as a unit instead of individuals, leaders, hierarchy, discipline and most important of all, a reason to the rebellion The moment someone sees through the lie the entire imperial system falls apart.
The more they oppress the more and more enemies they create, until they cannot subdue them all, it is a vicious circle that the Empire itself creates and from which it is unable to escape.
It is also the episode of the great speeches, where both Kino and Luthen shine in their scenes. Both excellent characters and they can both go very far, but they will never reach the end of the path, they can only help others to make that path.
award winning episode, omg the monologue, Lonnie"and what do you sacrifice?" Lutherans response FREAKIN HANDS DOWN EPICNESS eg.."I made my mind a sunless space I share my dreams with ghosts im damned for what I do.."OMG
I’m soo frustrated with my friends for not watching this! It feels like my head is going to explode, I’ve tried everything to get them to watch andor
Honestly that speech Serkis's character gave made me tear up. He's amazing.
The line that hit me the most, and I still makes.me.pause is "I've been condemned to use the tools of my enemy."
The acting, the dialog, and the action . . . the is Shakespearean Star Wars. This is fantastic! Skarsgard earned a supporting actor in a drama Emmy this episode. Serkis earned guest star in a drama Emmy too!
Inmates together strong!
This is what happens when you give good actors some top shelf material to chew on.
Gosh, I love y'all's commentary and conversations so much. You're so knowledgeable Kyle!
We go into battle to reclaim our lives. Victory is life!
People after watching The Mandalorian: "This is the way," is so fucking ICONIC!
People after watching Andor: One Way Out!
aaayyy we got the Bendu back for this one!
for real? this episode - this series - it's now the best thing I've ever seen from Star Wars (& I am so happy we have this & at the same time I can appreciate & be a fan of things like The Mandalorian or all the animation goodness)
God, give Gilroy a trilogy - give HIM the next trilogy - the writing team of he, his brother, Williamson - just everyone - emmys all around.
"Spent all of his money on pizzos." Ha!
I was almost waiting for Luthen to pull out a red light Saber during that speech😁
Last episode gave me chills. This one had me outright shuddering. Multiple times. This is so freaking good.
This chapter give us one (if not the most) awesome monologue of all the star wars saga......amazing
Thanks, Kyle! Thanks, Bendu! Thanks, Nerd Chronic! 💥 Kudos to Toby Haynes' directing prowess in this thrilling episode. #KyleKatarn #StarWars #Andor
Isn’t the ISB Agent the same guy who was manning the radio room in Rogue One and notify Mon Mothma about the Scarif attack?
I just recently rewatched Rogue One and I think you might be right
@@cambion_entertainment redhead with mustache. I think so.
That Luthen Rael Monologue was superb!
Just realized. Narkina-5 is basically the Floor is Lava. 😂
The meeting point with Liuthen and the ISB supervisor makes me sad for 1313 all over again :(
13:45 100% We NEED an UNDERGROUND Coruscant series! It was great to see some of it in Rebels and Bad Batch. It SERIOUSLY deserves it's on series though!
