This broke my heart

- I never really cared that much about Andor, but then it finally hit me like a wall of krayt kaki. It happened as he was standing their in line in prison on Narkina 5 waiting to go to his sleeping quarters. The expression on his face broke me. Just like how Anakin broke Ahsoka's brain by shocking her too much.

Diego needs some real recognition for his performance as Andor - I got invested in this character after seeing Rogue One, and this series has been a real delight as Diego brings him to life in all his moods and moments. He's one of those actors who doesn't need dialogue to make you feel what the character is feeling.
Paddy definitely deserves the Emmy, but Diego should be nominated.
This show is just amazing on all fronts
i agree.I love the series
We get to see how brutal the empire really is and this is going to make the escape and the small victories along the way much sweeter and fulfilling!!
Obi-Wan made the empire look weak and incompetent but andor is showing how brutal they can be to maintain order and stinguish any rebellion. I understand Andors character even more.
The Empire didn't do anything wrong, they did what they had to do.
@@UniqueKwon oh look a fascist sympathizer
@@UniqueKwon blowing up a planet is considered immoral
@@UniqueKwon Even I think their methods are a little too much General
He's such a good actor. He looks genuinely horrified in this episode.
I actually liked Cassion Andor after watching Rogue One. He was very clearly someone who had some kind of PTSD and had was driven to be cold and distant. It was nice that they got to flesh that past out more. But yeah, sucks that he never really gets a happy ending.
I don’t think your meant to like him tho lol.. I didn’t but he’s a good actor so I think I felt how they intended it lol
@@vegan4life660 They made him cold and distant, but in that scene where he tells Jyn Erso "you're not the only one who's suffered loss" it made me think that he wasn't cold and distant by default but he was driven this way by hardship in his past so I felt more sympathetic towards him.
Andor with the thousand yard stare is the most disturbing Star Wars has ever gotten.
I agree. It really shows how truly evil the Empire is.
This is why Andor joins the Rebellion for real. The Empire broke him.
By the time the escape happens and they found a way to disable the electric shock floors, the prisoners are gonna enjoy going for a walk on the Imperial wardens.
I have a feeling that those electric floors will somehow be turned *_against_* the Imp guards. Andor checking out the boots seems meaningful. I expect the breakout to be ingenious and satisfying. Or am I having flashbacks to _Guardians of the Galaxy?_ 😏
@@Raygo. I definitely expect a fight between at least two booted people to force each other to make contact with the floor.
the way andor opens his eyes at the very end of his life
When Jemboc said, “tough way to start, getting fried twice in one day” while showing his cell, suddenly those wretched looks on Cassian and the others made sense to me.
Like you’ve said previously, Cassian was almost like a “blank canvas” in ROGUE ONE, therefore, a prequel can only add richness to his character. To me, this is the kind of prequels that are worth making and exploring. Too often we see the reverse, where a fully developed character becomes so beloved that the decision to make a prequel almost feels like fan service and, predictably, that storyline and character development tend to fall flat and lacking. It’s ironic that many are missing one of the most complex storytelling exactly because of how little they know (or care) about Andor from the film.
I’ll be honest, I didn’t like Rouge One I’m a sad sad Lucas fanboy… but Andor is amazing, I almost wish he wasn’t tied to a predetermined future, Andor is the best Star Wars has been in decades and it’s ridiculously slept on
I think this sums up why i didn't care for and was kinda frustrated by the Ahsoka episodes in Tales of the Jedi. When you have a character that has had so much development and will soon be getting her own show, trying to fill in the few blanks feels tacked on and fan servicey. I love Dave Filoni, I think he understands the core values of star wars as George made it, but Andor has showed me what star wars can be. Slow, methodical, complex, nuanced, grey. I still love the style of star wars we're used to, but watching TotJ reminds me of the faults of current day star wars. Constant need to connect everything, always being stuck in the time frame never being able to let it go, trying to fill in blanks to the point you're over engineering it and putting a sour taste in my mouth for the original product, because I'm frustrated we can never leave it behind and move on. I acknowledge all these are my own feelings, I don't fully know why I don't care about tales of the jedi, theoretically I should love it. But Andor has showed me star wars can me more than our core cast of characters and their journey's. TLRD watching Andor and Tales of the Jedi feels like someone trying to create something new and fresh in an alreay such developed universe, and someone unable to let go of the story they've already told and given a proper send off.
As fans of Star Wars, we need to let go of the the Skywalker's and the Palpitine's and look at other characters!
That definitely has me drop a bookmark like 🤔🤔, but I thought the dialogue earlier implied the losing team would get executed
@@matthewblack2926 Another content creator (whose name escapes me, apologies) pointed out that many of the current SW materials feel the way you articulated because they are all inspired by……Star Wars itself and I quite agree with this revelation. To me, why ANDOR feels fresh and different is because it took the risk of being inspired by things outside of this well-known and beloved universe. Gilroy being an outsider/non-fan is actually an advantage as a storyteller, imo. To quote Saw, “I’m the only one with clarity of purpose.” Lol.
I’m so used to seeing Cassian looking hardened - he’s been through a lot and he has a very cold exterior. To see him so broken and afraid hit hard. He really did look like a very small child. :’(
2:40 If Ahsoka was sent to that prison with electric shock floors, she would have traumatic flashbacks of getting stun shots from Jesse and the boys.
Don't forget all the times the Zygerrian slave-drivers zapped her.
Like farming with bots nice
some excellent facial acting from Diego Luna in that scene. The man looks absolutely bewildered.
I know "revenge is not the Jedi way," but a part of me dearly hopes the Imperial that administered the first shock gets his comeuppance at the hands of his victims during the prison break. You can tell that he gets a sick, sadistic glee from the pain and misery of others, and he's doubtlessly done this countless times for every new batch of prisoners. Who knows how many thousands have suffered at his hands?
"Revenge is not the Jedi way"
"I am no Jedi."
Wow I totally missed that .Thanks for pointing that out. Andor is an awesome series.
Same.
I can't wait to see how Andor and everyone escape from the Imperial prison.
I feel like there may be a slight interruption in the field when someone gets killed. So it may just be a massive trample to the door as loads of people die all around them.
However, I'm not expecting a mass escape à la 'The Great Escape', but rather an elaborate breakout in the style of 'Escape from Alcatraz', if only because it suits Andor's character much better. As we've already seen his strength lies in recognizing details and using them, making him an excellent secret operative or maybe a squad leader, but not necessarily a leader of crowds. He's definitely much more of a James Bond type of guy than a general.
By the way, I could imagine Diego Luna playing 007 as well. He seems to come much closer to the appearance of the secret agent as described by Ian Fleming than, for example, Daniel Craig does (average build, dark hair, narrow face, high cheekbones, prominent nose).
@@robderich8533 Diego Luna isn’t going to be pulling off the British accent though.
I hope the break out isn’t going to last all the way to the final I thought prison would be a temporary thing and then we get back on with the plot. This is a pause in the story I hope doesn’t turn into a whole ass four episode long arc
@@obiwankenobi687 I wouldn't rule out that he can work on an English accent, good actors can do that and he's not bad at all.
@@obiwankenobi687 And as for the breakout, I guess maybe one episode for planning, one for prep, then one for the execution of the plan.
This guy knows how to act.
Generation tech has the absolute best star wars takes on Andor that outshines every channel especially star wars theory. He isn't even a dedicated star wars channel but he deciphers the absolute amazing subtleties that this show offers. Thank you Generataion Tech for taking the time to really analyze the details in these magical scenes. Thank you
Theory was crying after 3 episode that Vader etc wasn’t in it I swear lol.. that was the last I heard from him 😂
Theory is just more of the far-right hate bandwagon that won't ever enjoy the subtleties and implications of the SW universe. He is tied to those far-right channels that align with the Empire's goals of oppression, so no one wonder these douches never cover the topics that criticize their worldview. They are SW fans merely for aesthetics and other surface-level things.
@@vegan4life660 sw theory called the dialogue in andor needless
In episode 6
This might be one of the best ~3min videos I've ever watched brother
This was a highlight of the episode. So much conveyed with only facial expressions
I liked cassian in rogue one because they hadn't shown a Rebel who was morally grey in terms of him killing his contact and how he was like an uncompromising assassin about to take out erso. He felt like an actual capable intelligence field agent which is I guess why so many felt he was bland because it's a character type most are familiar with
Spot on!
The prisoner directly in front of Andor in the queue. Look up his name and you’ll be surprised to see what he has appeared in. Does include an iconic movie moment
“Who are you?!” 🦇👨
Batman was not wat I was expecting 😯
Hell even I was as scared as he was. That prison is horrifying.
Seeing that look on his face is heartbreaking.
It makes me very happy to see the fandom embracing Luna and his work as Cassian.
When they announced Andor, I was pretty neutral about it, I was sure I wouldn't watch it. The show surprised me so much in how good it is
I find it odd how many didn't find Cassian interesting. I thought he was the best character of Rogue One (alongside K2) - so much so, that I wanted a solo film for him! I genuinely feel like I was the only person who said, "duh, why wouldn't he get a solo project?!" When this series was announced. Either way, Andor has been my favorite character since 2016 and now I'm even more confident when I tell people that lol
This show is so great because it gives us a whole new look at the SW galaxy. Though i love the clone wars, Mando, original trilogy, etc etc etc, Andor is the first time I've felt fear with no hope in SW. Vader is scary, but we know Luke will save him. With Andor, even though we know he will escape Narkina 5, the terror is real, we know people are going to get hurt and die. It's been such a treat to watch, and I can't wait for the next episode, even though I'm afraid of what will happen.
i think when this show is finished, we will see rogue one with very different eyes, especially the character of andor. i will definitely rewatch it right after the last episode is aired
This is the first Star Wars production when I started cheering for rebels. Magnificent, real emotion and more adult approach. The best SW series.
It really shows how cruel the Empire is. This prison really is the pits
I didnt notice the looks but now it all makes sense. Nice video.
In another time, Cassian Andor could've been the idealistic rebel that Dooku and Wedge Antilles became, fighting against a corrupt system while keeping one's morals intact. But that was not his fate. His fate is to see the dark underbelly of the Empire, and to fight it, he became just as dark as the monsters he fought.
Can’t say I’ve ever seen a Dooku and Wedge Antilles comparison made before haha
@@kylelarson1464 Both were idealistic rebels against a system that was oppressive.
The whole sequence is also a homage to Lucas' THX1138.
The absolute sterile brutality of the Empire presented here is indeed diabolic. It adds a lot of depth to the galactic conflict.
Every frame of the series is so dense. A masterpiece
I love what they show in Andor, because if you just watch the movies, you wouldn't see why the Rebels are so desperate when fighting against the Empire. This along with Rebels animated series and Bad Batch fills that.
I was very much like why when andor was announced but now it's one of my favorites.
Does anyone else feel almost like their everyday life is basically like this prison? Employers AND customers act like we're their slaves.
It’s always the customers who have never worked in the service industry
The eyes of a man whose days have been full of brutality and destruction.
Someone here mentioned the thousand yard stare.
Something you see in veterans, or people that have endured some similiar trauma.
I like the way you narrate this Allen.
You have a feel for this. Beneath the clowning around. Theres a seriousness and a deeper understanding of what can happen to the human mind after witnessing something that can damage someone so deeply. You get it.
The look in his eyes haunted me. :( Like you, I didn't connect with Cassian in Rogue One... until now. All the pain he suffers since childhood...he doesn't deserve it. I want him to find his sister. Cassian either needs a long time where nothing happens to him, or to be reincarnated into a long life of luck where he doesn't have to fear and gets everything he needs - a resting life, if you will.
I don’t watch any animated Star Wars so they could’ve already portrayed it, but I love how this show depicts the oppression under the empire on a individual level whereas all content I’ve seen mostly showed macro-level atrocities. Blowing up Alderran and bombing Jeddah were horrible but this is the slow torture where they kill the spirit before the body.
The forced displacement of the Aldhani and erasure of their culture, this prison - showing parallels to real world events like displacement of Native tribes in North America and authoritarian government labor camps. Glad they’re not Disneyfying/sanitizing oppression.
And I couldn’t be the only one who thought of Zyclon B when the mist started spraying in the group shower scene.
You are right I didn't notice this on the first watching of this episode. I will often watch them again before the next show, but I haven't had a chance yet this week. Wow! And to think this is how they routinely treated mental illness in the past.
How is Andor turning into some of the best SW content?!
That warden loved his job alittle too much
"I will take electrocution more seriously from now on." 🤣
The acting and directing in this series are so incredibly excellent, it can take a few re-watches to notice details like this. In almost every other scene so far, Cassian is always looking around, hyper-vigilant, observing and reading the situation, reading who he’s with, thinking ahead, careful not to reveal his emotions… The last time we saw him this vulnerable and scared was as a child. Even his messy electro-shocked hair recalls the look of the terrified 10-year-old child when Maarva and Clem first find him. Here, unobserved by others, and with nothing at all to occupy his clever mind, he is reduced to this state of numb existential terror. And Melshi, never afraid to speak his mind, even under constant physical threat from Kino… reduced here to a helpless and exhausted shell of a man. It’s honestly one of the most heartbreaking shots in the entire series - and that’s saying a lot.
Well said.
Much agreed. It was absolutely heartbreaking. This series is hands down my favorite Star Wars show released thus far. The performance delivered for each character is Oscar worthy… even the droid B2-EMO. Diego Luna is tremendous as Andor and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
This was an exceptionally sublime video essay, cheers & lit lighters all around.
This episode was intense.
1:34 I hope we get to see that Sassy Ex-Imperial Droid again in the Andor show.
Have to say it again, Allen. Your insights and interpretations of SW are just about the best on RUclips, very few other creators can match you imo for the sensitivity and maturity of your response. It's greatly appreciated. (But I still don't dig your undershirts!)
This episode really displayed the true terror of the imperial police state.
moments like these make shows like rebels shine. really kicking the empires ass
The show is really well done
when the series is over I'm gonna watch rogue one again and weep like it was meant to be..
I'm with you on not connecting with Cassian (and Jyn) in Rogue One. They felt flat and boring compared to K2, Chirrut, and Baze who's deaths actually moved me. I'm feeling very different about Cassian now, and will rewatch R1 sometime soon. The characterisation in Andor is impressive. I'm still a bit sad about Lt. Gorn, Taramyn, and Remik.
Ah yes don’t worry Star Wars is big enough that they might get their own stories fleshed out one day
i am loving the series. thank you for great comment
Though I noticed Andor on first watch, I noticed everybody else on subsequent watches. It was a terrifying and also nuanced way to show that, yes, they indeed lost that day, and were all punished for it.
Thank you for this video.
Well done Allen 👏
Great acting 👏
How about the suicide? I still haven’t heard anyone talk about that.
Prisoners working, being punished, being exploited…where have I heard this before…
The guards operate under the assumption that the electric floor is their ace in the hole. So what happens if their boots didn’t have that convenient protection?
This dude is way better than Star Wars theory.
Wow she did it to show that she could do it. But your right. nerve damage no one wants it. This is the way.
Thank You
andor lookin fuckin SHOOK
At first I thought it was some sort of gravity weapon they were being tortured with.
yep because thats the sort of over engineered solution that the Empire would come up with, an electified floor is simple in comparison
I’ve been thinking, if his face is already in imperial databases, won’t it be hard for him to be a rebellion spy later on? Despite all the false aliases, they’ll be able to tack a name to his appearance
Great video!
The thing is, this prison probably saved Andor's life. His rebel compatriots want to kill him, the ISB is looking for him, this prison is probably the one thing keeping both the rebels and the ISB off his back.
Good catch....i did not notice that...
Yeah I read the description paragraph while the video was playing and thought, "Uhh ... in 3 months time someone is going to randomly watch this video and have NO idea WTF Allen's talking about in the last sentence."
Good save at the end of the video. Oh man, I wonder how many heads this'll fly over this time ...
livestock shouldn’t be treated like this either
We forget that this is the same as the worst excesses of the capitalist's system of the 19th century during the industrial revolution.
Heck, you can draw parallels to the evils of modern day late stage capitalism as well, from third world sweatshops to particularly exploitative jobs in the United States.
Read Engels' essays about what he saw in London and it's pretty much this
When he got arrested, I really thought, this was forced by himself to follow a bigger plan. He "acted" so innocent, when talking to the guard and I felt like he was lying when interrogated ("why are you sweating?" - "what? It's hot!"...)
Definitely no connection to The Prison Industrial Complex in America.
Andor needs to get back to his mom
Looks like they entered Squid Game here.
OOF
I think it’s sad how bald dude and his buddy plan to end their subscription from life trough sign language
"The Jedi are surrounded by plot armor and close escapes." Are you kidding me with this crap, Alan? The Jedi who aren't main characters die all the damn time, be it from General Grievous, battle droids, clones who betray them, slavers or bounty hunters, and many of those who survived probably got captured by the Inquisition like Luminara Unduli or Trilla Suduri, and were probably subject to torturous experiments that makes Andor's prison look like the Taj Mahal. I'm pretty sure Han and Chewie have plot armor far thicker than most Jedi who died, and they're not even Jedi.
This is Empires' true way. worse, this is what the SITH wanted to have occur
A bleak view…into your future mortals…if you all remain…asleep…
i think ooloff is going to die days before his sentence ends and that makes cassian make his plan
Anyone wonder why aliens are absent?
Yea need to do a video on that
This prison factory is 'Club Fed' compared to where they send the aliens. It seems like the prisoners were assigned to difference places based on thier homeworld as well.
Well in all honesty I couldn't tell how many days Andor spent on Naimos. Maybe he spent quite a few?
✌️
Would LOVE to see more different ALIEN SPECIES involved in the struggle. Tired of seeing only humans!
Alien species get much worse duty.
@@IceWolfLoki yes, I would like to SEE 👀 that. Get more emersive in that Universe. It's like EVERY Aspect of that Universe is occupied by the "Human" element. I know the Wookies catch a lot of shhhhh, show that, and the crap the Empire put other Alien species through. Also, show more of a mix of those same Alien species joining the Fight / Rebellion against the Empire.
The Empire is operating a gulag system, much like the Soviets did.

Rogue One is pretty much the only Disney Wars product I liked. It was good mostly for the space battle and Vader scene at the End. As far as the characters go the only one I enjoyed was K2. The problem was that they tried to shove way too many characters into the film. There wasn't really time to flesh any of them out, and some didn't even really fit into Star Wars. As much as I love Donnie Yen his character in the film wasn't very good. It was a blatant attempt at pandering to the Chinese market and turned the film into Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon whenever he was on screen. It introduced a type of in universe character that didn't make any sense. They're Jedi/not Jedi and can't really use the force but instead pray to it like it was some kind of god? They can't really use the force but a blind man was able to beat up a bunch of Imperials with a stick? It's just bad. I would dropped all the superfluous characters and spent more time with Forest Whittaker's Saw, Andor and Jen. We didn't need Brodie, his role could have been filled by Andor, and we could drop Yen's character and his sidekick as well. I would have loved to have seen the original vision from the director who got canned by Sith Lord KK, the scourge of modern Star Wars.
Andor has done a fantastic job of showing the Empire's evil fascist heart--far better than any other non-Legends source material. One hopes it helps some of those strange Empire defenders who have never studied the 1920s-40s and know nothing about fascism's evil effects think again.
I hate that there isn‘t a single non-human prisoner in there
Because you like aliens are because you want them in prison?
Well there are prisons for men and women in real life, so when they assign to what prison they’ll be sent they take into consideration the race, probably the electricity punishment doesn’t work the same way in aliens
@@yomerito3320 I accept this, thank you. I just thought of the prison in clone wars where other species were. And yeah the electricity poles didn’t work there very well…
Cassian Andor may have been innocent of this particular crime, but you have to admit that the Emperor's plan worked.
He was one of the guys who stole the payroll, got away with it, but yet he STILL ended up in prison due to the Emperor's harsh new guidelines. It worked.
Everyone freaked about this needs to remember the 500K+ slaves in Africa (the leader), Middle-East and Asia today. Not wage slaves or human trafficking but good old humans as property slavery with beatings, horrific conditions and traded like property. Your news just refuses to talk about it but the stats are indicated by numerous studies as between 500K and 1 million worldwide.
may be we connect to andor more cause he doesnt have plot armour
Well he does though- we know he lives til the end of Rogue One.
Lots of great actors in all the Star Wars material, so why is some of it terrible? Why is Andor great? Story, direction, and EDITING. I mean, "Show, don't tell." is pretty much the first rule you're supposed to learn. It's so famous that people who aren't cinephiles know it.
Marcia Lucas made Star Wars great. The name you want to know for Andor is John Gilroy.
I as a Sith love Narkina 5. I actually wish we had prison systems like this on earth for the most Harden criminals. Not for petty criminals like drug possession for their own consumption, petty theft..I mean those who stole a little food to feed their family, that level of theft. Those who are doing their smash and grabs which stores to close affecting the elderly who now have to travel mile to get their prescriptions. I am talking sane people who commit the worst crimes and afflicted pain on our society with rape, child sexual assault, murderers, terrorists, cop killers, child pornographers, etc. The unrepentant criminals who if released commit more Haines crimes. Although, they must be proven not to be people with either no mental illness, but I would include people who are truly criminally insane, like Jeffery Dahmer and people like him. They would be the ones I would send to a prison designed like Narkina 5. Low level criminals who are proven not to have a mental illness, would go to a similar prison that instill fear of continuing a life of crime. I still like the electric floors, but a much lower dose of shocking maybe a level 1.25 to keep them in their cells, just enough to be enough of a deterrent. I would also show these types of criminals a live feed once a week what life is like on a Narkina 5 styled prison to show them what awaits them if they escalate their behavior wants released. Although, to be fair I would offer rehabilitation and society integration classes to improve their odds of living a successful and normal life back in society.
For the mentally ill who we incarcerate because we have a broken mental health system, I would rebuild mental health hospitals that have high standards of excellence and where the staff are held accountable for their treatment of their patients. No abuse would never be tolerated.
Just my thoughts.
delete rogue 1
I think that shoretrooper was a rebel setup to test whether Andor was truly capable of being angry and motivated. Skeen proved that it doesn't matter if there's a million or more credits on the line when someone else is trying to take it after they got it.
It's just that there's a lot of different rebel groups as Saw Gerrera pointed out when Luthen meet him.
