I honestly appreciate the fact that the Mon Mothma plot doesn't have a lot of movement and progress. It shows the reality of her world, where every decision has to be meticulously planned and every possible consequence weighed before any action should be taken. The absolute *worst* thing she can do is make a rash decision, so she has to weigh out every option in detail before hand to avoid detection. it's not really a spoiler to say that her plot does move in the final episode of the season, and you'll see how all her thinking and planning play out (and it's brilliant writing, if you ask me).
It shows how awful the pressure was on her, how trapped she was under a constantly deteriorating condition..how she was having to start compromising her principles for the war effort..
little detail I find REALLY incredible and proof of the attention to detail that went into Andor: at the end, when Andor calls to give Maarva a message, he says "she'd be proud of me". The very next thing he sees is the sunset and the sea. He most likely spent the rest of the night on Niamos with regrets of not getting back sooner, not being able to prove his mother that he understood what was her sentiment about the rebellion. In Rogue One, Jyn is in a similar situation, in the very brief moment she saw her father before his passing she couldn't really tell him that she had her mind changed about the rebellion as well. When Cassian and Jyn are on the beach, watching the nuclear sunset, Cassian remebers how he was feeling when he knew that his mother passed away, looking at the sunset over the sea that day. Only thing he says? "Your father would have been proud of you Jyn" I find that reference so well integrated with Rogue One, not "in your face" but such an emotional call back
The series was planned for two seasons from the start. The second season has been filming for about month now, but with Writers Strike, it has been in hold at moments.
In case you hadn't noticed, Melshi, Cassian's partner and fellow escapee, he was with Cassian all the way to the beach of Scarif. He was the one Rebel that helped find the master switch to get the plans off the base.
He even led the team that broke Jyn out of prison. On first watching "Rogue One," Melshi was kinda under the radar as far as characters go. Coming back to it after "Andor" I notice Melshi had a bigger part in the movie than I thought.
@@AdhamOhm Love categorizing Niamos as Miami - when its at Cleveleys near Blackpool lol !! 😂 (Living in the UK I've been to most of the filming locations!😎)
6:20 Andor left his stuff (including money and Nemik's manifesto) in his room there at Niamos before he was falsely arrested. He's just simply getting it back
Forgive the nitpick, but, he hadn't just "left" his stuff there, he stashed it, back in Ep 7, hidden out of sight above the shower/hygiene unit. He had to sneak in and out to retrieve it.
I have to admit, this concept of being "Bricked" really appeals to me. Had your ashes mixed with concrete (or similar), your name and dates on it, and used to build something. I think that's absolutely awesome! No kidding, I'm putting that in my will. I want that done with me.
I agree! Much less upkeep and cost than a coffin, and you wouldn't have to worry about securing a plot of land to be buried in. Heck, even if your brick isn't used to build something it's probably way easier for your family to keep around.
There's a fairly new option now that you can put someone's ashes in a bio urn or living urn and plant them as a tree. My brother and I are seriously thinking about doing this with my mother's ashes.
Some cultures in the past, in real life, actually did stuff like that. The only trade-off was that you had to be wealthy or famous to have it done to your ashes. If you were a slave, or just a nobody working on the farm somewhere, you'd get buried. Have to think that would be done differently nowadays. I like the idea of the culture making that a requirement for everyone.
The finale of Andor is one of the best episodes of TV I've ever seen, not just Star Wars content. It makes any of the lulls one may have experienced during the season worth it. I watch the finale regularly.
Mon Mothma’s storyline isn’t about speed of motion. It’s about the dangers of taking small but precarious steps while in the belly of the beast. And it’s about the grave decision she must make, to place herself and her family in even more peril. Her struggle with what to do next is about the consequences of choice and the price one is willing to pay for a necessary victory. We know about Luthen but what will she sacrifice for a better tomorrow? (May not be compelling for some but I found it riveting, even knowing her fate as leader of the Rebel Alliance.)
In the next excruciating episode of "Game of Galaxies," Lady Mon, of House Mothma, must find a way to send her gold to the rebellion, without the Bank of Coruscant, or Emperor Palpatine (First of his Name) becoming wise to her treason! The whole Mon Mothma subplot gives me GOT vibes, I love it! One of the many things I love about this show, honestly.
@@jacob4920 Can’t wait for the next nuptial party when Tyrion Lann’star shows up and roasts everyone in the room, especially that feckless husband of hers. I got my popcorn and wine all picked out!
Hi Jen and Holden! This series was planned for 2 seasons. Season 2 will have different pacing. I believe that in season 2 every 3 episodes will be a time jump of a year or 2, leading up to when we meet Casian in Rogue One.
What aggravates me is the fact that there were supposed to be 5 seasons of Andor, with each season being one of the five years prior to "Rogue One." I really, truly wish we had that coming. Because this show is like Star Wars' version of Game of Thrones, with all the subtext and deep storytelling. This show had so much potential to really save Star Wars, and Lucasfilm basically just said: "Nope!" and ordered Gilroy to take it down to two seasons. That sucks!
Andor from the start was outlined to be a 24 episode/2 season limited series. Season 2 is in production. As S1 apparently took place in the span of a year set 5 years before Rogue One, S2 is reportedly different- each 3-episode arc taking place one year closer to Rogue One and the series ending where Rogue One begins.
You both are right, but I believe this was also the scene we saw a bigger scope of the full rebel alliance when he named all the factions that are rebelling against the Empire.
Mon Mothmas storyline is one of my favourite, i like all the normal day interacrions with her family, i also like writing for her and all the fancy parties, sets, costumes, political intrugue, i feel like you dont get whats going on in her scenes.
Episode 12 is great (my favorite) the wrap it up excellently and set it up for yes a second season being filmed at the moment, should come out next year.
I love your reactions. Jen and you complete yourselves totally and as much as your views on what you react to sometime diverge from what I think, yours feel quite honest with good explanations and not going for the views only. Also, you crack me up when you throw each other silly puns and dad jokes, makes me feel like I might be normal after all ahahah As for Andor, I really like how they show the building of the rebellion and how at this moment of the timeline, it is different groups with different ways to cope with the Empire's oppression. Too slow for him (the frog in the pot with the temperature rising slowly), the Empire will imprison everyone without an effort so he decided to kick the apple tree. From individual Rebel factions that go from mercenaries for the monayy to resistants willing to strike locally their opressor, Skarsgard seems to act to regroup everyone under one "flag". Hence his dealings with organized groups like Saw Guerrera ready for war and elites like Mon Mothma trying to help without getting dirty and expecting a nonviolent outcome. Apes together, strong. Like you say, this series is something else in term of mood and storytelling, but the more you begin to think about it, the more you like it how it shows what was the life and the impact of the Empire on people, which had to be bad if it happened to create the rebellion movement leading to SW Episode 4. Continue your great work and being two great human beings (from what I can see online that is ahah) Ben
This show is incredible when you think the context it gives you to the building blocks of the Resistance pre EpIV. Luthen might be the most important character in Star Wars we had never heard of and one of the coolest protagonists ever. When have we seen Resistance players giving up their own. In every other Star Wars show they would try to rescue Kreegyr.
Season 2 primary filming is finished, but finishing up production is on hold currently due to writers strike. There was only ever meant to be 2 seasons. So, after season 2 Andor is over.
Season 2 will be the last season of Andor and will lead right into the first mission Cassian is on in the beginning of Rogue One (where he shoots the guy whose arm is in a cast), but will have multiple arcs each taking different places in time with skips between each arc
I feel that Mon Mothma’s plot thread is about one of those somewhat passive rebels/revolutionaries who think they can do the *right* thing within an immoral system without compromising their adherence to strict personal moral code or getting their hands truly dirty. She has that confrontation with Luthen in his shop after Aldhani that gets to the heart of this. Now she’s weighing out what sacrifices she’s willing to make to help the Rebellion. Cassian parallels that by avoiding sacrifice by thinking he can just nip around the edges of the Empire until Luthen, the Raid on Aldhani, and his experience in the Narkina 5 prison teaches him otherwise. To change this system, you have to be willing to sacrifice *EVERYTHING* to succeed. I think Season 2 (which is well underway) will deal with how far into the darkness do you let yourself fall; sort of an ethical conflict between the philosophies of Mon Mothma/Jedi-side and Luthen/Saw Guerra-side within the Rebellion as well as building the ALLIANCE side of the Rebel Alliance
i don't think it's fair to say mon mothma's actions are passive. up until aldhani she's a large part of financing the rebellion, and she's putting herself and her family's lives on the line to do so as a senator. hell even as not a senator the empire would probably kill her if they knew what she was doing but as a senator they'd probably make a horrible example of her. she's not shooting blasters or waving a lightsaber but she's in just as much danger.
They greenlit 2 seasons because that’s how Gilroy pitched it. They are in production for S2 but the last few episodes are are slowed or stopped by the writers strike
When this episode dropped there was a decent amount of people who thought episode 10 was the finale. Many were calling it one of the best season finales and we were like “there’s still 2 more, bro!” Lol
Nearly at the finale....exciting. I saw Andor a little while ago and I can't believe I forgot about the Imperial action sequence. I remember most of it but forgot about his uber laser taking out those Imperial ships, etc. Such a sic sequence. :) You guys are some of my favourite reactors, I must say. I've watched a few reaction ones from MCU movies, etc but you guys go into a lot more depth than other reactor channels do. I watch some which literally just "react" but at the end they don't dissect the movie or episode much at all and that makes it boring. I appreciate the way you guys converse and disagree over some things and have good conversation at the end of each episode. Please keep this up. It makes your channel stand out. Thanks guys. See you in the finale. :)
You guys also have to keep in mind it’s 2-3 more seasons to be shot so it’s not that much to be wrapped up. We all kkkw where this leads too, but it’s still a slow burn and there’s no rush
Like Zeb from Rebels was the original concept for Chewbacca... That Emperial ship with the front facing antenna was Ralph McQuarrie's original concept design for '77 Star Wars' Star Destroyer!!
Yes, WATCH the end Credit scene after episode 12!! And also, there is a second season coming, although it will likely not be out till late 2024 or early 2025. It is also 12 episodes, and since this took place five years before Rogue One the second season takes place a year closer every three episodes. So it will end right before Rogue One starts. ..
Great reaction guys to a great episode and for me personally the best Star Wars live action show ( Sorry Mando you are now number 2 ) . This was such a sad episode and you know you have got great writing when B2EMO cannot understand where Maarva is and it made me well up . Love Luthen he is such enigmatic character , I heard him described as Star Wars version of Nick Fury and after he escapes from the Cantwell cruiser ( Named after Ian Cantwell the artist who designed it for the original 1977 Star Wars but whose design was rejected and eventually used here ) I can see why he was called that . I also heard people wonder if Luthen did not used to be a Jedi ? There is a Season 2 which they are filming now apparently Season 2 will sync into Rogue One so only 2 seasons then . Unfortunately we will have to wait to 2024 for Season 2 . Cant wait for you to react to the Finale it is a real banger .
Season 2 is shooting! It's going to end with season 2 and according to Tony Gilroy it will lead directly into Rogue One. Also this episode knocked the Millennium Falcon down a peg for me. I want a modified Fondor Haulcraft now.
Lol already watched this reaction because you accidentally put it up last week before your reaction to episode10.... I was hoping you just put up episode 12 today but I guess you're trying to space some things out.. keep up the great work
At first I was unhappy that the video is only 14 min, but I for sure enjoyed all of it! ❤ The ship scene is SO damn cool, I love it! The finale will be great and I will patiently wait for it. 👌😊
There will only be 2 Seasons of Andor. The End of Season two will tie in with the beginning of Rogue One. IMBD is usually spot on with how many episodes they will have for the next Season. Best to check it when the first Episode is released to the public. I assume it will be the same number of Episodes as the first Season.
I feel like the Mon Mothma plot is slow because it shows how many hoops she has to go through to get anything done on the Empire's side when you're not a Sith Lord of some sort. Also if she goes guns glazing then she can be in trouble and we have seen how ruthless the Empire can be in past shows and movies with mistakes. It can easily lead to her death
They wrote this from the beginning with 2 seasons in mind (the second one ending right before Rogue One) so YES, not every story will be fully closed at the end of this season. The second season was also green-lit before the first one even aired Also I don't consider it a spoiler but it is not obvious to people who haven't kept track of all smaller characters: Melshi, the one that stayed together with Andor till the end after the Prison-Break, is also in Rogue One and one of the characters in Command of Squad "Rogue One" during the Battle of Scarif. It is also at least implied that Andor and Melshi had a deep bond in Rogue One already which even only after season 1 of Andor we can already understand quite well Lastly, as you now have watched Rebels you must know that Mon Mothma WILL NOT do anything radical in the first season of Andor as we already know that she will only speak openly against Palpatine in 2-3 BBY (Season 1 plays during 5 BBY) and then leave the Senate to head up the Rebel Alliance (with which the Ghost-Crew from Rebels will help)
If Disney does do a season 2 of Andor it would be showing how Andor's Team formed to where season 2 would end on Andor seeing the Female Lead Character of The Rouge One Film for the first time from Andor's point of view/Camera Angle 🤔
They were working on it, however with a writers strike it’s been delayed. I hope that strike doesn’t mean no season 2. As they haven’t said when it’s gonna start production again.
I'm sure about 100 other commenters have already said this, but yes. There will be a Season 2. It would honestly be some kind of crime if that was not the case.
Having Andy’s character’s Achilles heel be that he simply can’t swim is still tragic to me lol. I can’t swim either (I’ve tried in my adult years, panic induces as soon as I can’t touch the bottom and I sink), so that one hit home.
Just an FYI, I read an article the other day concerning Andor Season 2, and according to the article, Andy Serkis has agreed to return for season 2 to reprise his role as Kino Loy. I don't know how true this is or if it's just speculation, but according to the article, he is definitely coming back next season.
Andy Serkis' character Kino Loy survives- is captured by the Empire again -experimented on as punishment- turned into a snoke clone. But he rots in agony in Empire holding. Endlessly cloned for Palpatine................ 👀
I would suggest just binging Luke Cage season 1 and Iron Fist season 1 on your own time, maybe just post a small review before watching defenders and then finally the punisher and Daredevil season 3! 😁🥳
What this show does work the Empire side of things.. I’ll compare it to The Walking Dead where att some point among the way the zombies just became background fodder and no real threat. That was damaging and TWD is not the only franchise to suffer that same issue. Star Wars kinda set the precedent of making the danger of the Empire NOT feel dangerous.. and THIS SHOW has turned that in its head!! We see just how suffocating the Empire is, their influence penetrating every aspect of peoples lives. They are a constant overwhelming danger and the writers of this show have done a masterful job giving the Empire a dangerous bite to go along with the loud bark! Finally!
Great Reaction .... I want to highly recommend you a criticproof INDIAN MOVIE... "R.R.R (RISE ROAR REVOLT) Which had taken the world by storm in 2022."

I watch some which literally just "react" but at the end they don't dissect the movie or episode much at all and that makes it boring. I appreciate the way you guys converse and disagree over some things and have good conversation at the end of each episode. Please keep this up. It makes your channel stand out.
Thanks guys. See you in the finale. :)
Do make sure to watch the endcredits scene after episode 12!
In case you were not aware, the man Cassian escaped with, is Melshi. He was one of the soldiers with Cassian in Rogue One.
yes there will be a season 2! It will be the final season and I've heard that it will connect andor's storyline right up to rouge one
You guys also have to keep in mind it’s 2-3 more seasons to be shot so it’s not that much to be wrapped up. We all kkkw where this leads too, but it’s still a slow burn and there’s no rush
Like Zeb from Rebels was the original concept for Chewbacca... That Emperial ship with the front facing antenna was Ralph McQuarrie's original concept design for '77 Star Wars' Star Destroyer!!
I flipped at the Cal Cestus cameo in the finale. Killing the inquisitor was the only way to free Thrawn from Exar Kun
Yes, WATCH the end Credit scene after episode 12!!
And also, there is a second season coming, although it will likely not be out till late 2024 or early 2025.
It is also 12 episodes, and since this took place five years before Rogue One the second season takes place a year closer every three episodes.
So it will end right before Rogue One starts. ..
I can't wait to see your ep 12 response. I appreciate that this show doesn't have to be connected to SW to be great. The last 5 episodes are brilliant
Can't wait for you to do Ep 12! And seriously, though, B2EMO (a tad on the nose with the designation) just breaks your heart!!
On Ferrix when you die "you're just another brick in the wall."
The music in the next episode (the funeral scene) is some of the best I have ever heard. ❤❤❤❤❤
These are so short. Wouldn’t hate some longer reacts (yes I know i should just join the patreon)
8:00; That was a fantastic action set-piece!
Animation might not be your jam but the writing in Arcane is stellar.
Great reaction guys to a great episode and for me personally the best Star Wars live action show ( Sorry Mando you are now number 2 ) . This was such a sad episode and you know you have got great writing when B2EMO cannot understand where Maarva is and it made me well up .
Love Luthen he is such enigmatic character , I heard him described as Star Wars version of Nick Fury and after he escapes from the Cantwell cruiser ( Named after Ian Cantwell the artist who designed it for the original 1977 Star Wars but whose design was rejected and eventually used here ) I can see why he was called that . I also heard people wonder if Luthen did not used to be a Jedi ?
There is a Season 2 which they are filming now apparently Season 2 will sync into Rogue One so only 2 seasons then . Unfortunately we will have to wait to 2024 for Season 2 . Cant wait for you to react to the Finale it is a real banger .
Season 2 is shooting! It's going to end with season 2 and according to Tony Gilroy it will lead directly into Rogue One.
Also this episode knocked the Millennium Falcon down a peg for me. I want a modified Fondor Haulcraft now.
Lol already watched this reaction because you accidentally put it up last week before your reaction to episode10.... I was hoping you just put up episode 12 today but I guess you're trying to space some things out.. keep up the great work
At first I was unhappy that the video is only 14 min, but I for sure enjoyed all of it! ❤ The ship scene is SO damn cool, I love it! The finale will be great and I will patiently wait for it. 👌😊
There is an end credit scene, also they are indeed doing 2 seasons.
There will only be 2 Seasons of Andor. The End of Season two will tie in with the beginning of Rogue One. IMBD is usually spot on with how many episodes they will have for the next Season. Best to check it when the first Episode is released to the public. I assume it will be the same number of Episodes as the first Season.
You are in for a treat with the final episode.
Boy, I hope this little rebellion that is formimg does some good in the future.
Fun non-spoiler fact:
Episode 12 was filmed with Star Wars's first F-bomb. But then dubbed over it in post.
I feel like the Mon Mothma plot is slow because it shows how many hoops she has to go through to get anything done on the Empire's side when you're not a Sith Lord of some sort. Also if she goes guns glazing then she can be in trouble and we have seen how ruthless the Empire can be in past shows and movies with mistakes. It can easily lead to her death
They wrote this from the beginning with 2 seasons in mind (the second one ending right before Rogue One) so YES, not every story will be fully closed at the end of this season. The second season was also green-lit before the first one even aired
Also I don't consider it a spoiler but it is not obvious to people who haven't kept track of all smaller characters: Melshi, the one that stayed together with Andor till the end after the Prison-Break, is also in Rogue One and one of the characters in Command of Squad "Rogue One" during the Battle of Scarif. It is also at least implied that Andor and Melshi had a deep bond in Rogue One already which even only after season 1 of Andor we can already understand quite well
Lastly, as you now have watched Rebels you must know that Mon Mothma WILL NOT do anything radical in the first season of Andor as we already know that she will only speak openly against Palpatine in 2-3 BBY (Season 1 plays during 5 BBY) and then leave the Senate to head up the Rebel Alliance (with which the Ghost-Crew from Rebels will help)
If Disney does do a season 2 of Andor it would be showing how Andor's Team formed to where season 2 would end on Andor seeing the Female Lead Character of The Rouge One Film for the first time from Andor's point of view/Camera Angle 🤔
They were working on it, however with a writers strike it’s been delayed. I hope that strike doesn’t mean no season 2. As they haven’t said when it’s gonna start production again.
There is production on a season two
HONEY! New Holden Hardman just dropped
It’s differs from the past 25 years but it’s Authentic to empire strikes back era
I'm sure about 100 other commenters have already said this, but yes. There will be a Season 2. It would honestly be some kind of crime if that was not the case.
In my head Canon, Andy Serkis character would jump even though he can't swim. Choosing his own end versus the inevitable he knows is in store.
The original plan for Andor is that it will run 2 seasons covering 5 years. There IS a second season coming. Release date is as of yet, unknown.
Having Andy’s character’s Achilles heel be that he simply can’t swim is still tragic to me lol. I can’t swim either (I’ve tried in my adult years, panic induces as soon as I can’t touch the bottom and I sink), so that one hit home.
Just an FYI, I read an article the other day concerning Andor Season 2, and according to the article, Andy Serkis has agreed to return for season 2 to reprise his role as Kino Loy. I don't know how true this is or if it's just speculation, but according to the article, he is definitely coming back next season.
Andy Serkis is back for season 2. Filming has been completed, its in post production now... I dont know if it'll be delayed by the writer's strike.
I wonder, though, if he's playing Kino. Andy Serkis could be anything or anyone.
@@kirkdarling4120 Could be. I dont know anything beyond Andy Serkis is back.
great video make sure you watch the end credit scene on the last one :)
Andy Serkis' character Kino Loy survives- is captured by the Empire again -experimented on as punishment- turned into a snoke clone. But he rots in agony in Empire holding. Endlessly cloned for Palpatine................ 👀
I already watched it last week. Next episode pls
I think the aliens in the beginning are the same ones that Anakin freed from enslavement in the Clone Wars mini-series.
6:19 he went back to get all his money from Space Miami… that was his hotel room from back then
Season 2 is already nearly filmed (80%).
The time jumps mean they can always go back and do a stand-alone Andor Film
The plan was always two seasons, getting things right up to Rogue One, all planned out from the beginning
Yay, it's back! I don't know what happened, not even halfway through the video suddenly became unaccessable...
How does our hero come into a room. An..Door.
they are filming season 2
"I don't want to be alone. I want Marvaa" 😢I'm sorry Bee...
They are doing a Season 2 - but there won't be a season 3.
Be sure to watch the end credit scene
I have a feeling I've seen this before... 😂😂😂
Nice
He hid the money in the air bnb
Just a reminder of the post credit scene in the next episode
I like Mon Mothma's storyline. It is not action, and it is not meant to be. Her storyline is more the espionage and political side of the rebellion.
I would suggest just binging Luke Cage season 1 and Iron Fist season 1 on your own time, maybe just post a small review before watching defenders and then finally the punisher and Daredevil season 3! 😁🥳
Holden Please React Indian Mega Blockbuster Movie RRR
RRR- G.O.A.T
RRR- Cult Classic
RRR- Insanity on Devil level
RRR - Epicness on GOD LEVEL
What this show does work the Empire side of things.. I’ll compare it to The Walking Dead where att some point among the way the zombies just became background fodder and no real threat. That was damaging and TWD is not the only franchise to suffer that same issue. Star Wars kinda set the precedent of making the danger of the Empire NOT feel dangerous.. and THIS SHOW has turned that in its head!! We see just how suffocating the Empire is, their influence penetrating every aspect of peoples lives. They are a constant overwhelming danger and the writers of this show have done a masterful job giving the Empire a dangerous bite to go along with the loud bark! Finally!
What’s up
Holden
Did you guys see john wick 4 movie yet
You should do a reaction video soon 💪💪❤️
Any plans of visiting Kent Hovind again?
Great Reaction ....
I want to highly recommend you a criticproof INDIAN MOVIE...
"R.R.R (RISE ROAR REVOLT) Which had taken the world by storm in 2022."
IMDB 8.0
ROTTEN TOMATOES 95%
**Truly one of a kind masterpiece.**
It has WON AN OSCAR And GOLDEN GLOBE including 32 other USA Filmfestival awards.
**It is a must must watch.**
IT HAS ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU WOULD WANT IN A MOVIE.
IT'S AN EXPERIENCE.
((Don't get afraid by 3hr runtime. It's like finger snap.))
((First 20 mins are enough to make you watch the entire movie in one sitting.))
**Even JAMES CAMERON watched it twice with his wife and personally congratulated the Director.**
THANK YOU BROTHER.
Wait didn't I watch this?
Yeah, I did too. They accidentally uploaded it last week instead of episode 10.
Yes because you are always first. You watched it last time when they accidentally put the wrong Episode online. Either you are a bot because you don't know about that fact, or you are just someone who wants to comment on everything in his timeline real quick.
@@Singurarity88 ohk now this is uncalled for
@@princejames1773 Stating facts is...? I didn't judge, i'm just curious.
pls start with the ip man franchise
Can we get a my friend watched Black Panther Wakanda Forever?
🐨
Can you guys please start Legend of Korra
Check out Ant Man
Such a waste of such a fine actress that she has no deathbed scene and died off screen. I am sure she could have given one further rousing scene.
