Here's my FULL Star Wars Andor Episode 11 video and Easter Eggs. Let me know how many you spotted! Here's my new Deadpool 3 video too! ruclips.net/video/vc3wmSwTkhA/видео.html
Loved Luthen’s escape, from the friendly bumbling trader act to the ice cold demeanour as he casually tears apart a huge cruiser and a handful of fighters and nonchalantly jumps into hyperspace. Such a great character so far and brilliantly acted by Skarsgaard
Couldn't have said it better myself! I was in awe and watched it again immediately! I haven't been wowed by star wars like this show has in a long time
Luthen's calm and calculated escape from the empire in a very high stress situation really made me think of Cassian's comment in the previous episode 'Power doesn't panic'
Luther is an absolute unit, easily the best character in the show! His level of commitment to the cause and personal sacrifice is really illustrated in his constant and calculable level-headedness, focus, interchangeable demeanor, power with words, bad-assery, and almost cold-hearted, strategic play of fellow rebels in the name of the cause.
As someone who was never a huge Star Wars guy until the past few years the one movie I thought was the best was Rogue One and this show between the actors, videography, directing, story, and more it’s per perfection. This is my favorite Star Wars project they’ve ever done and should be up for awards. I hope they use this to continue going forward
A man of good taste! I feel exactly the same. Tony Gilroy is to thank for creating & directing Rogue One & Andor. I recommend watching his podcast with Marc Marron from about a month ago… he’s such a fascinating & talented writer with an incredible life story. I really hope Disney gives Gilroy more projects within the Star Wars franchise because he’s made such a compelling story without flooding the screen time with Star Wars universe “celebrity” characters, Jedi, lightsaber battles, spacecraft battles, overdone nostalgia, etc… ..if he tastefully introduces some of these classic Star Wars tropes, as he did with Luthen’s escape in episode 11, they’ll be so much more impactful.
it is weird anyone calls it 'slow' but I can only assume those who do call it 'slow' are the same who prefer pointless action flicks like 'Fast N Furious' etc
You missed the Canary Trap where Luthen tells the ISB mole that 50 men will die, while with Saw he says the 30 men will die (plus Kreegar). If there's a leak that mentions the number of men prior to the ambush, he'll know the source. Luthen, like his shop assistant, is always on point and always keeping an eye out for where he might be vulnerable.
I literally went "AYO WHAT" when Luthen pulls out the Darth Maul blades on the ship and escapes after destroying those 2 tie-fighters. Such an amazing scene.
I really loved how they showed that the Droids in star wars are pretty much sentiment the way bee shows emotions Like fear ,and uncertainty after Marva's death , really put things into perspective on how droids are treated in this universe.
The end with andor gazing out into the horizon, and ocean parallels very nicely with his death in rogur one ,and staring out into the ocean/ horizon from the death star.
The second parallel they've made in the series to Andor's death. Luthen's line in last week's monologue was also a nod to that event. "I burn my life to make a sunrise I know I'll never see." Massive impact!
Plus he has a kyber crystal. But for some reason almost all videos about that episode ignore that fact. Judging by the way he flies. I’d def say he’s a force user.
@@johnsorzano The crystal, the cape & speech in episode 10 evoking Darth Vader, the staff, the piloting, the lightsabers in the spaceship. He's gotta be a Jedi.
I love how Luthen is portrayed, but you're right about Forest Whitaker's Saw Guerra, he is brilliant and crazy at the same time. I hope the show him take part in actual fighting. He would not take videos.
Easter egg: The Imperial Arrester Cruiser ship is referred to as "Cantwell Class". That name is a callback to the ship's original designer, Colin Cantwell.
Not only do they have a record of his ship, but they also probably have a recording of his voice as well. Syril during his interrogation by the ISB claimed he would remember his voice. I guess we will see.
I've been impressed that up until this episode, this Star Wars series has only had a whiff of science fiction -- despite being set on planets far away, with some different technologies, and a few glimpses of non-humans. Instead it's been about politics, psychology, and personal motivation. This has set the stage, and now the more Star Wars-like elements have a greater impact.
I'm more convinced than ever that Luthen Rael was or is a Jedi. From the Kyber crystal he gave Andor earlier in the season, to the literal lightsaber he gives Saw Gerrera, and the Maul looking duel lightsaber blades on Luthen's ship.
I think they’re just a version of those tight beam lasers we saw Clone dropships using (except they were green) in AOTC - but otherwise yes, absolutely agree
It wasn't a lightsaber (at least not that we know of) - he used this thing as an extendable stick/staff before. But who knows, it might be hiding a lightsaber too.
@@Peterski it’s possible it is an antique jedi weapon. From the time before they had actual light sabers. That would make sense considering he is an antique/artifact trader. I think it is possible he was a jedi and he uses that staff as a weapon because it is less obvious than a light saber. Just a my 2 cents
I, myself, am expecting to see Bail Organa in the final episode, becoming Mon Mothma's financial benefactor and her Rebel Ally. That's my theory that I'm very much holding strongly to. One of the things that was confirmed in this episode, by Mon Mothma's conversation with Vel, is that the Rebellion that she's secretly funding and leading, with Luthen being the master worker for her, is only a few months old, beginning at the conclusion of "last year," in 6 BBY, as I pointed out in one of the early episodes, and all events of Andor are at the beginning of the year, 5 BBY, several months before any of the events of Star Wars Rebels. (The first 7 episodes of Star Wars Rebels begins after Ezra Bridger's 14th birthday, which is on Empire Day, the 21st day of the 3rd month.) This episode totally set up Organa's 14 year Rebellion, and Mothma's 4 month or so Rebellion, becoming allied together. The money from her account supports her Rebellion financially, but Organa is different in that he really was rendering humanitarian relief, as seen DURING Clone Wars, and until Leia is 15 years old on Star Wars Rebels, making his financial contributions to his Rebellion more untraceable than what Mothma is doing. And my prediction is that he will step in at the last moment and save her and ally himself with her Rebellion next week. I'm expecting for there to be 2 major surprises, but I have no idea what one of them will be. It might be something crazy, like finding out Luthen is Palpatine's brother, or a former Sith; something big like this. Whatever it is, it will be major.
I sincerely hope Luthen isn’t a sith or a brother of palpatine. I feel like that would really cheapen the realism thing they got going on and it would be totally out of left field. There could be twists for his character, but not that
I think Luthen may have been a former Jedi. Again like I asked in another comment… isn’t that a light saber that Saw’s men check when he is going to visit Saw?
@@allwalledup No, no, no!!!!! I was making that up! My bad! I was trying to say that I'm expecting a surprise that will be as shocking as if they ended the season with, "Palpatine is my brother, and that's why I look like this." The shock you would feel if you heard something like that is what I meant. I'm expecting a surprise. I just don't know what it is. Gilroy claims that the final line of the final episode is going to bring everything together. It's gonna be a surprise.
he'll only show up next season. tying this season in with other properties in the finale would be breaking the rules of the dramatic genre, like a deux ex machina.
The last 5 episode or so have really solidified this show for me! The quality is truly undeniable. Not better than Mando but as a whole this show is exceptional.
Mandolorian is fantastic. It has all the heart of the OT and in tone it feels so similar to them that I could almost believe it was made in the 80's by 80's George Lucas. Andor on the other hand treats the material with such brilliance, subtly, introspection, and maturity that it manages to elevate the entire franchise to a degree I didn't know I was missing until I saw it. I like what my wife said 2/3 of the way through the first episode, "This feels like 30% Star Wars and 70% that Blade Runner movie you love". I can't think of a higher compliment. So while I love Mando (and honestly move between liking and loving all the live action Star Wars besides Episode 9) Andor really takes it to the next level. Basically, OG Star Wars hits all the right buttons for the kid in me and Andor hits them all for the adult. I'm sorry to go on so long, but holy crap this show it so good.
I've been saying it for a month!!! LUTHEN AT THE VERY LEAST IS FORCE SENSITIVE AT MOST JEDI. It may be just a coincidence but I would laugh so hard if Luthen is a temple guard... and his stuff is all over that store... so basically hiding in plain site.
I'm surprised nobody is talking about the possibility Luthen is a Jedi. The item they found on him when he went to see the rebel dude looked a lot like a light saber. Then there is what he told his mole at the elevator in Ep 10 how he sacrificed everything. Then his pilot skills evading and taking out two tie fighters. I'm calling it right now. Luthen is a Jedi.
I think my favorite part was Luthen's escape there at the end. That was awesome! That's cool that it was a design from Lucas' archives. It should be interesting next week.
Luthens speech as known as a former member of the Jedi Order. Calm. Kindness, kinship. Love.(JEDI TRAITS) I’ve given up all chance at inner peace,(TRANQUILITY THREW MEDITATION) I’ve made my mind a sunless space. (JEDI LIVE IN THE LIGHT, HE NOW IS IN DARKNESS) I share my dreams with ghosts. (ALL JEDI/FRIENDS ARE GONE Or. 66) I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years (ORDER 66) from which there’s only one conclusion: I’m damned for what I do.(THE GALAXY, HISTORICALLY BELIEVES THE JEDI WERE WRONG) My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, (HE KNOWS THE JEDI WERE RIGHT AND DEFENDERS OF PEACE & FREEDOM) my eagerness to fight, (HE HAS TO PROVE SHEEV PALPATINE IS EVIL) 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, (COMMITMENT TO THE JEDI ORDER) and by the time I looked down (TRAINING DEDICATION AUSTERITY TO THE ORDER), there was no longer any ground beneath my Feet . (WORK A LIFETIME FOR NOTHING) What is... what is my sacrifice? I’m condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. (THE DARK SIDE, EVIL AND MANIPULATION) I burn(DARK SIDE TRAIT) my decency(LIGHT SIDE TRAIT) for someone else’s future(JEDI TRAIT, SELFLESSNESS) . I burn my life, to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see.(THE LIGHT, ""A NEW HOPE"") No, the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror,(HE'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO LOOK AT HIMSELF FOR WHAT HE'S BECOME, A DARKSIDE User, not lightning bolts, but deception and manipuation) or an audience(NO APPLAUSE) , or the light of gratitude.(NO LOVE) So what do I sacrifice? EVERYTHING.(HIS LIFE)
Had to watch the space escape 4-5 times it was just that detailed, the sound, the intense the overall confidence of the droid, his ship was outstanding, amazing show. Please for the love of God have more good seasons of this
there will be just one more season - after that, well, Andor has an inevitable appointment on scariff... but I hope that they will take risks with more mature SW shows like this one. Although it seems commercially Andor is a total flop, so probably not (although the fault is with Disney for diluting the brand with horrible sequels and mediocre series).
@@DagnirRen I think Andor won it for me, they have 10x better acting and script writing, where as Mando, none of the characters even showed torture or how badly something effected them besides a silent pause. Andor has so much depth in EVERY character, its crazy..
When Cassian is going through his hidden credits in the hotel room he was staying in, he briefly opens Nemiks manifesto. Having the subtitles on, it mentions it’s Nemiks voice.
That's one thing that made me raise my eyebrows. In the months since his imprisonment nobody found the suitcase? They don't believe in cleaning in that hotel, I guess ;)
My theory: Luthen is a Dark Jedi. Prior to Order 66 he was a Jedi who dabbled in the Dark Side. Afterwards he turned sharply to the Dark Side for the power to defeat the Empire, losing himself in the process.
having a child or close relative that was murdered during Order 66 or the subsequent Great Jedi Purge would be good reason for why he steeped so far into darkness yet keeps his goal of freeing the galaxy and avenging his countless fallen Jedi friends.
I don't think his mother is dead, she seems like a really big rebel character, My guess is she faked her death to get underground and start helping the Rebels, we'll be seeing her again.....!
That ship skirmish was worth it. Poor Bix looks terrible. The empire is gonna know what a reckoning feels like soon. I also don’t think Maarva is dead. Something feels off about it especially with how she doesn’t want to die just sitting still but instead FOR something.
I understand your sentiment, but all signs point to he actually having died… however, her death WILL prove to be a major catalyst for upcoming change in the rebellion, as things converge on Ferix because of her death.
I’m going with Kleya being Andor’s sister, if his sister is still alive. Would add to her character and give her the background we haven’t seen yet. Would also explain how Luther knew so much about him.
I can see Kleya being the sister Becuase of the connection she has with Luthen. She would know of andor being alive and not vice Versa because of the luthen connection. Only theory I have
We should see Felicity Jones (or a younger Jyn) with Saw in an episode of season 2. As well as K2-SO! I'm guessing Luthen gets killed or sacrifices himself for the rebellion early in Season 2, and Mon Mothma has to take up the reigns of organizing the rebellion from him.
I'm betting that at some point B gets damaged and they upload what they can salvage of his brain into the K2S0 body which would make his loyalty and self sacrifice in Rogue One so much more poignant.
The woman managing the store, aside from her accent gave me Leia Organa vibes. So much reminded me of Carrie Fisher in her youth. Seemed like a dead ringer for live action Lea casting.
When the imperial ship went after Luthen it was a scene right out of the very first part of A New Hope. The guy on the bridge looked so much like the guy on the bridge from the old movie and then the other people were dressed just like the people from the first movie and so is the star cruiser, even though you say it was redone. I really felt like I was getting ready to go aboard the ship with Princess Leia and have those schematics and drawings uploaded to be put into the droid and be boarded by Darth Vader!!! It was a great feeling!!
I think Luthen might have been a jedi temple guard. We have seen a temple mask and they were supposed to give up their identity when they become a temple guard, so the empire really wouldn't know who he was/is. Possible we have seen his old lightersaber hilt right before talking with Saw. I think his monologue on him giving everything so someone else can bring the light, or however the monologue goes, is my reason for my theory.
Is Anyone realizing that he shot down those Ties before those sabre beams were activated rather easily . Reminds me of how force users are great pilots and marksmen .
I think Luthen’s ship was equipped with some major Kyber Crystals for that light saber based laser barrel roll. He is in a collector of artifacts after all
Enjoyed the Andor attempted escape into capture. No idea who the aliens were, but it made me think of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost only because I rewatched Spaced not too long ago.
Luthen basically showed us he is as prepared as Batman and he is not just some guy that Kreegyr and Saw(leader of each group) knows.....He's someone you musn't mess with
I know it's a stretch, but at the very beginning of the episode, when the camera is inside Marva's (?) house and the people are moving her body just outside, there's this like holed wall panel that gets in the screen, the patterns look like the CIS sigil and then we see the procession in the background, don't know if it was intentional or i'm just looking too much into it, but it was dope.
Hey a lot of times I forget Andor is coming on until I see the notification for your review video. Then go watch the episode then come back for the review.
Amazing video ,and breakdown as always Charlie this episode was detailed ,and emotional more stakes leave us wanting so much more , maybe that's why they are set on season 2! Andor surpass every expectation of mine🙌🏾.
I actually think it would be really cool if Luthen is a former Jedi turned to the dark side as he tries to form the rebellion, kinda like Count Dooku and the Separatists. Unlike Anakin who does terrible things because he has turned to the dark side, Luthen turns because of the terrible things he's doing. Reinforcing what Andor says in Rogue One about everyone having done terrible things in the name of the rebellion. For me it would give this quote a lot of meaning "What is my sacrifice? I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them." He's talking about subterfuge, killing people, crime, etc but also fear, anger, hate etc. The tools of a Sith which are the complete opposite of his former training. He talks about his sacrifice but I don't feel like we see it much other than leading a double life, until he decides to let the ISB trap work and let people die. I know what is unique/refreshing about the show is that force users aren't present but I feel like the show is about learning to sacrifice/fight for what is good/right. We see Andor and Mon's journeys. If my idea for Luthen were true, we wouldn't get to see his journey but I feel like it would be impactful because we know a lot about Jedi and Sith. There are a lot of holes in his story that would need to be filled for this to be true but I personally think it would awesome and support the themes of Andor. Side note: I think if he were just a Jedi the blades on his ship wouldn't have been red. Jedi have pretty much always just used a simple saber, the Sith/people using the dark side get creative with their blades.
Lost in the Luthen tractor beam counter measures/light sabre scene is the role his AI in his ship the Fondor plays. The scene reminds me of Samuel Jackson's SUV escape scene/AI from Captain America: WinterSoldier waiting for the counter measures to charge.
When Luthen was escaping I was getting vibes from Luke escaping from Thrawn’s tractor beam using the hyperspace jump thingy in legends during the thrawn trilogy.
I really like the touch with B2E seeming very human, like in Star Wars if you don't regularly wipe droids they'll start gaining sentience, but Andor's mom doesn't strike me as the type to be super stringent about regular wipes, leading over the decades to an exceptionally human droid. My headcanon.
Man, Luther is such a badass. I hope he made it to see the Death Star destroyed. (Highly doubt it though) & seeing as he has so much different stuff going on out and about the galaxy, do you think he has any teams / people undercover looking for any order 66 survivors? There must be a few of them out there apart from ones we know, so surely the rebellion would know what an asset that any of those Jedi survivors would be to the cause? May be a season 2 thing? Final question, how long in the timeline is this after obi wan? Just dunno where the Bail Organa connection is. There’s so much potential for this area of the timeline going into future season or other spin off around the building of the rebellion into a legit force etc. So long as the writing quality is like this show and not like my 1st poem or rise of jaywalker level writing. If they keep this up they’re on the right path. Also, I want to know more about ‘the path’ So much stuff can tie in on season 2 and Onwards! Sacalamentomfinkle!

Awesome.
Awesome! 🔥🔝👌🏼😁
Thanks!
Great episode love it can't wait for the rebellion to begin.
I didn’t hear wooden lightsaber ? What was that a magic wand
Loved Luthen’s escape, from the friendly bumbling trader act to the ice cold demeanour as he casually tears apart a huge cruiser and a handful of fighters and nonchalantly jumps into hyperspace. Such a great character so far and brilliantly acted by Skarsgaard
That scene was so so dope.
Luthen is such a cool and complicated character. I love how cold he is.
He was definitely a jedi.

His name is Luthen btw, it was probably autocorrector that changed it on you.
@@pkennedy0219 useless comment lol
@@Hoodie-K almost as useless as you
@@Hoodie-K useless a hole response.
Lurhens escape was great. Gave himself just enough time to get away while giving us some action ,and top gun style flyby.
It’s just a middle finger to Empire and I love it lol, also I just realized he basically make Alderaan into Empire’s shit list after this oof
Best scene in this season 😅

Gotta watch the clone wars then rebels
Skarsgaard needs to be nominated for an Emmy because he has been fantastic on this show.
Everybody claims it's slow but I'm enjoying the more mature and darker pace of this show! 🍿🎥
I couldn't agree more, I'm a bit disappointed next week is the last one for a while!
this isnt slow, this is a master class in screen writing and using the same built out world/lore, and telling a completely different side of it
likewise this is our Mature-Star Wars show. lets go!
Darker is better! Bring it on
it is weird anyone calls it 'slow' but I can only assume those who do call it 'slow' are the same who prefer pointless action flicks like 'Fast N Furious' etc

Luthen shoots the Darth Maul blades out of the ship*
More like.the inquisitor blades
I really loved how they showed that the Droids in star wars are pretty much sentiment the way bee shows emotions Like fear ,and uncertainty after Marva's death , really put things into perspective on how droids are treated in this universe.
It’s all just 1s & 0s in those tin cans. He must’ve been rattled & is malfunctioning. Definitely needs a new logic board.
Bee is behaving like a family dog.
Sentient not sentiment
It has been said that droids are as sentient as any other life , they just have slave chips which prevent them from open disobedience.
@@wolfwhisperer580 we all know what he meant :)
My jaw literally dropped for Luthen’s escape.
Like a "rollercoaster" ride, quick yes...but it was a blast!
Luthen is the Nick Fury in this show. Love it🙌💪🏽
More like Batman of Star Wars. Multiple identity, A Space Batmobile, Gadgets, Does spy work and knows about everyone.
@@lettheloveflow batman doesn't kill. Nick Fury is a great comparison. Taking me back to CA-Winter Soldier Nick Fury

Didn't have to scroll far :) Knew I was the only one. I loved that shot, Bookends his commitment to the Alliance @@enpressions
The true Jedi's peeped it
This is the star wars content we needed. Every week brings a smile and appreciation for Andor as a show. The escape was superb today!
Luthen's walking stick handle sure looks like a lightsaber hilt to me. I'd love to know more about how he got it.😉
Plus he has a kyber crystal. But for some reason almost all videos about that episode ignore that fact. Judging by the way he flies. I’d def say he’s a force user.
Jedi, that's what I have my cash on. Luthen's a Jedi.
His "put it down or give it back" line also definitely called attention to it and makes it out to be more than it seems.
@@johnsorzano
The crystal, the cape & speech in episode 10 evoking Darth Vader, the staff, the piloting, the lightsabers in the spaceship.
He's gotta be a Jedi.
He's a Sith that's trying to redeem himself for past evils
The last shot of this episode is so sentimental if you know that the similar shot is coming in the future of this character.
In Luthen’s shop, they have an Aztec calendar and a Quetzalcoatl sculpture (that squiggly snake). Probably nods to Diego Luna’s Mexican heritage.
Seeing Forest Whitaker as Saw Guerrera fills my heart
I love how Luthen is portrayed, but you're right about Forest Whitaker's Saw Guerra, he is brilliant and crazy at the same time. I hope the show him take part in actual fighting. He would not take videos.
Agreed, great actor always gives a good solid 8 out of 10 in every role
I love the "WTF did I just witness" look on the arrestor cruiser Captain's face.
Another great episode again. Kinda sad that there’s only one episode left. But yeah at least we had one of the best Star Wars series so far. 🙌🏽
Some of the greatest space fight scenes in starwars
It was a great episode!
Most impressive!
They really put some work into this one
Especially the way he destroyed the tractor beam
Luthen Darth Maul’d his way out of Imperial control. Dude is badass
Easter egg: The Imperial Arrester Cruiser ship is referred to as "Cantwell Class". That name is a callback to the ship's original designer, Colin Cantwell.
Not only do they have a record of his ship, but they also probably have a recording of his voice as well. Syril during his interrogation by the ISB claimed he would remember his voice. I guess we will see.
Very good point
Luthen and his James Bond style pimped out star-ride... 🔥
Easily the most badass episode to date.... The escape from the tractor beam sequence was so good I watched it twice.

he'll only show up next season. tying this season in with other properties in the finale would be breaking the rules of the dramatic genre, like a deux ex machina.
The last 5 episode or so have really solidified this show for me! The quality is truly undeniable. Not better than Mando but as a whole this show is exceptional.
I love mando, but imho, this one beats it by a mile
@@rishids98 fr the writing and cinematography are so much better
@@rishids98 I prefer the pace of mando, I feel like even just the opening score of each mando episode evokes more excitement for me
Mandolorian is fantastic. It has all the heart of the OT and in tone it feels so similar to them that I could almost believe it was made in the 80's by 80's George Lucas. Andor on the other hand treats the material with such brilliance, subtly, introspection, and maturity that it manages to elevate the entire franchise to a degree I didn't know I was missing until I saw it. I like what my wife said 2/3 of the way through the first episode, "This feels like 30% Star Wars and 70% that Blade Runner movie you love". I can't think of a higher compliment. So while I love Mando (and honestly move between liking and loving all the live action Star Wars besides Episode 9) Andor really takes it to the next level. Basically, OG Star Wars hits all the right buttons for the kid in me and Andor hits them all for the adult. I'm sorry to go on so long, but holy crap this show it so good.
@@rishids98 yeah this show is a masterpiece. From acting to the storyline. Fantastic show.
I've been saying it for a month!!! LUTHEN AT THE VERY LEAST IS FORCE SENSITIVE AT MOST JEDI. It may be just a coincidence but I would laugh so hard if Luthen is a temple guard... and his stuff is all over that store... so basically hiding in plain site.
Good theory..... Palpatine hid in plain site for years
A commentor elsewhere suggests he is Kento Marek, having survived Darth Vaders wrath in The Force Unleashed. Cool idea anyways.
Not to mention the item Saw's gaurds found on him looked a lot like a light saber.
Man I can’t get enough of live action Saw Gerrera.
I'm surprised nobody is talking about the possibility Luthen is a Jedi. The item they found on him when he went to see the rebel dude looked a lot like a light saber. Then there is what he told his mole at the elevator in Ep 10 how he sacrificed everything. Then his pilot skills evading and taking out two tie fighters. I'm calling it right now. Luthen is a Jedi.
Luthen is one hell of a pilot.
I think my favorite part was Luthen's escape there at the end. That was awesome! That's cool that it was a design from Lucas' archives. It should be interesting next week.
Luthens speech as known as a former member of the Jedi Order.
Calm. Kindness, kinship. Love.(JEDI TRAITS)
I’ve given up all chance at inner peace,(TRANQUILITY THREW MEDITATION)
I’ve made my mind a sunless space. (JEDI LIVE IN THE LIGHT, HE NOW IS IN DARKNESS)
I share my dreams with ghosts. (ALL JEDI/FRIENDS ARE GONE Or. 66)
I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years (ORDER 66) from which there’s only one conclusion: I’m damned for what I do.(THE GALAXY, HISTORICALLY BELIEVES THE JEDI WERE WRONG)
My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, (HE KNOWS THE JEDI WERE RIGHT AND DEFENDERS OF PEACE & FREEDOM)
my eagerness to fight, (HE HAS TO PROVE SHEEV PALPATINE IS EVIL)
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, (COMMITMENT TO THE JEDI ORDER)
and by the time I looked down (TRAINING DEDICATION AUSTERITY TO THE ORDER),
there was no longer any ground beneath my Feet . (WORK A LIFETIME FOR NOTHING)
What is... what is my sacrifice? I’m condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. (THE DARK SIDE, EVIL AND MANIPULATION)
I burn(DARK SIDE TRAIT)
my decency(LIGHT SIDE TRAIT)
for someone else’s future(JEDI TRAIT, SELFLESSNESS) .
I burn my life, to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see.(THE LIGHT, ""A NEW HOPE"")
No, the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror,(HE'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO LOOK AT HIMSELF FOR WHAT HE'S BECOME, A DARKSIDE User, not lightning bolts, but deception and manipuation)
or an audience(NO APPLAUSE) ,
or the light of gratitude.(NO LOVE)
So what do I sacrifice?
EVERYTHING.(HIS LIFE)
holy crap, that makes total sense
Holy Crap...Lufthan is Jedi!!!! It's all makes sense. Good catch.
A commentor elsewhere suggests he is Kento Marek, having survived Darth Vaders wrath in The Force Unleashed. Cool idea anyways.
I like how Melshi's shirt at the end was covered with a hexagon pattern like all the parts they made in prison
Had to watch the space escape 4-5 times it was just that detailed, the sound, the intense the overall confidence of the droid, his ship was outstanding, amazing show. Please for the love of God have more good seasons of this
there will be just one more season - after that, well, Andor has an inevitable appointment on scariff... but I hope that they will take risks with more mature SW shows like this one. Although it seems commercially Andor is a total flop, so probably not (although the fault is with Disney for diluting the brand with horrible sequels and mediocre series).
Andor is the second best thing Disney made, only beaten by Mando.
@@DagnirRen I think Andor won it for me, they have 10x better acting and script writing, where as Mando, none of the characters even showed torture or how badly something effected them besides a silent pause. Andor has so much depth in EVERY character, its crazy..
@@DagnirRen Andor>Fan service
The Narkinians looked like the Vogons from hitchhiker’s guide lol
When Cassian is going through his hidden credits in the hotel room he was staying in, he briefly opens Nemiks manifesto. Having the subtitles on, it mentions it’s Nemiks voice.
That's one thing that made me raise my eyebrows. In the months since his imprisonment nobody found the suitcase? They don't believe in cleaning in that hotel, I guess ;)
Luthen is the GOAT
My theory: Luthen is a Dark Jedi. Prior to Order 66 he was a Jedi who dabbled in the Dark Side. Afterwards he turned sharply to the Dark Side for the power to defeat the Empire, losing himself in the process.
I hope you're wrong and I hope you're correct. You just made this character better.
having a child or close relative that was murdered during Order 66 or the subsequent Great Jedi Purge would be good reason for why he steeped so far into darkness yet keeps his goal of freeing the galaxy and avenging his countless fallen Jedi friends.
A commentor elsewhere suggests he is Kento Marek, having survived Darth Vaders wrath in The Force Unleashed. Cool idea anyways.
I don't think his mother is dead, she seems like a really big rebel character, My guess is she faked her death to get underground and start helping the Rebels, we'll be seeing her again.....!
I thought that too.
That ship skirmish was worth it. Poor Bix looks terrible. The empire is gonna know what a reckoning feels like soon.
I also don’t think Maarva is dead. Something feels off about it especially with how she doesn’t want to die just sitting still but instead FOR something.
Nice pick up about possible false flag.
I understand your sentiment, but all signs point to he actually having died… however, her death WILL prove to be a major catalyst for upcoming change in the rebellion, as things converge on Ferix because of her death.
Luthen is a badass. Has to be a Jedi. Or at least Force Sensitive.
Luthen Rael: "I'll try spinning. That's a good trick"
That "tank" is actually a JUGGERNAUGHT.
I’m going with Kleya being Andor’s sister, if his sister is still alive. Would add to her character and give her the background we haven’t seen yet. Would also explain how Luther knew so much about him.
But his sister isn’t in Rogue One. If she IS still alive, she may be killed in the final season.
I can see Kleya being the sister Becuase of the connection she has with Luthen. She would know of andor being alive and not vice Versa because of the luthen connection. Only theory I have
That would make the galaxy a very small place. I hope this isnt the direction they go.
But Kleya ordered a hit on Andor with Vel, right?
Star Wars already has a problem with random characters being related, it doesn't need more.
So hyped for the Finale of S1🔥👍🏻😄
next week!
@@emergencyawesome yess🤙🏻😀
Every time Luthen appears onscreen I shout like my QB just made a touchdown drive...
We should see Felicity Jones (or a younger Jyn) with Saw in an episode of season 2. As well as K2-SO! I'm guessing Luthen gets killed or sacrifices himself for the rebellion early in Season 2, and Mon Mothma has to take up the reigns of organizing the rebellion from him.
I'm betting that at some point B gets damaged and they upload what they can salvage of his brain into the K2S0 body which would make his loyalty and self sacrifice in Rogue One so much more poignant.
I think that handle Luthen had before he saw Saul with him telling the guy searching him "either put it down or give it back" was really a lightsaber!
Not a coincidence that scene happened like how ot did
@@burgesswilliams8745 They really made a point of highlighting it...
i rank this show as #1 disney serie so far
Nice!
Stellan Skarsgår as Luthen is perfect, he is an amazing actor and his ship in this tv series is so cool
He's a very compelling anti-hero. And SS is a great actor. Hard to believe he's 71 - he definitely doesn't look his age.
Luthen maybe a Jedi for all we know he is a complete badass. Not even Han Solo would of acted this calm and collective.
The woman managing the store, aside from her accent gave me Leia Organa vibes. So much reminded me of Carrie Fisher in her youth. Seemed like a dead ringer for live action Lea casting.
Post Return of the Jedi Age Leia.
Marva will be missed, this HAS to be the turning point for Cass! It's on now.
When the imperial ship went after Luthen it was a scene right out of the very first part of A New Hope. The guy on the bridge looked so much like the guy on the bridge from the old movie and then the other people were dressed just like the people from the first movie and so is the star cruiser, even though you say it was redone. I really felt like I was getting ready to go aboard the ship with Princess Leia and have those schematics and drawings uploaded to be put into the droid and be boarded by Darth Vader!!! It was a great feeling!!
I think Luthen might have been a jedi temple guard. We have seen a temple mask and they were supposed to give up their identity when they become a temple guard, so the empire really wouldn't know who he was/is. Possible we have seen his old lightersaber hilt right before talking with Saw. I think his monologue on him giving everything so someone else can bring the light, or however the monologue goes, is my reason for my theory.
If he’s smart, his ship probably looks like a very common freighter.
Is Anyone realizing that he shot down those Ties before those sabre beams were activated rather easily .
Reminds me of how force users are great pilots and marksmen .
Bee has way more personality than any of the other droids that I’ve seen on screen
Andor the Series is saving Star Wars! This show is amazing!
I think Luthen’s ship was equipped with some major Kyber Crystals for that light saber based laser barrel roll. He is in a collector of artifacts after all
Or he's a Jedi
Enjoyed the Andor attempted escape into capture.
No idea who the aliens were, but it made me think of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost only because I rewatched Spaced not too long ago.
Luthen basically showed us he is as prepared as Batman and he is not just some guy that Kreegyr and Saw(leader of each group) knows.....He's someone you musn't mess with
Luthen escaping in space, that scene was epic! Probably my favorite overall so far.
I love this show!! It’s the first good Starwars in years and I love mando but omg this is the best!!!
Another amazing episode! Luthens 'Space Battle' was great! Shows how prepared he is.
Just finished the episode and said to myself see if Charlie has posted his ep review yet 😂 Low and behold, here it is 👌 Thanks Charlie 🤙
I know it's a stretch, but at the very beginning of the episode, when the camera is inside Marva's (?) house and the people are moving her body just outside, there's this like holed wall panel that gets in the screen, the patterns look like the CIS sigil and then we see the procession in the background, don't know if it was intentional or i'm just looking too much into it, but it was dope.
so can we all agree that the Fondor is the coolest new ship in Star Wars?
Said it before I will say it again. Best show of 2022 and it isn't even close. Best Disney plus show ever and it isn't even close.
Hey a lot of times I forget Andor is coming on until I see the notification for your review video. Then go watch the episode then come back for the review.
Luthen is functioning like Darth Sidius working in the shadows to mirror the phrase when he said he is picking his enemies fighting tactics
Man! That ending scene blew my mind! I just fell in love all over again 😍🤖🫶🏻👅🫀
Amazing video ,and breakdown as always Charlie this episode was detailed ,and emotional more stakes leave us wanting so much more , maybe that's why they are set on season 2! Andor surpass every expectation of mine🙌🏾.
Luthen doing an Iron Man laser spin.
Thank you for this video.
Luthen’s escape was sooo good
"Oh he's a rebel alright!" was my comment while watching Luthen's amazing escape haha
I actually think it would be really cool if Luthen is a former Jedi turned to the dark side as he tries to form the rebellion, kinda like Count Dooku and the Separatists. Unlike Anakin who does terrible things because he has turned to the dark side, Luthen turns because of the terrible things he's doing. Reinforcing what Andor says in Rogue One about everyone having done terrible things in the name of the rebellion.
For me it would give this quote a lot of meaning "What is my sacrifice? I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them." He's talking about subterfuge, killing people, crime, etc but also fear, anger, hate etc. The tools of a Sith which are the complete opposite of his former training.
He talks about his sacrifice but I don't feel like we see it much other than leading a double life, until he decides to let the ISB trap work and let people die.
I know what is unique/refreshing about the show is that force users aren't present but I feel like the show is about learning to sacrifice/fight for what is good/right. We see Andor and Mon's journeys. If my idea for Luthen were true, we wouldn't get to see his journey but I feel like it would be impactful because we know a lot about Jedi and Sith.
There are a lot of holes in his story that would need to be filled for this to be true but I personally think it would awesome and support the themes of Andor.
Side note: I think if he were just a Jedi the blades on his ship wouldn't have been red. Jedi have pretty much always just used a simple saber, the Sith/people using the dark side get creative with their blades.
As soon you mentioned Syril Karn's relationship with Dedra, all I could think was, "and that, children, is how I met your mother."
I didn't even recognize Melshi from Rogue One. Great find!
Lost in the Luthen tractor beam counter measures/light sabre scene is the role his AI in his ship the Fondor plays. The scene reminds me of Samuel Jackson's SUV escape scene/AI from Captain America: WinterSoldier waiting for the counter measures to charge.
When Luthen was escaping I was getting vibes from Luke escaping from Thrawn’s tractor beam using the hyperspace jump thingy in legends during the thrawn trilogy.
Never thought I could feel so much for a little red box robot
I really like the touch with B2E seeming very human, like in Star Wars if you don't regularly wipe droids they'll start gaining sentience, but Andor's mom doesn't strike me as the type to be super stringent about regular wipes, leading over the decades to an exceptionally human droid. My headcanon.
Kleya is Andor's sister. That's how Luthen knew about Andor. .. That's my guess.
Luthen is certified badass
Luthens escape was amazing!
Can’t believe we are now going onto the finale 😢
Man, Luther is such a badass. I hope he made it to see the Death Star destroyed. (Highly doubt it though)
& seeing as he has so much different stuff going on out and about the galaxy, do you think he has any teams / people undercover looking for any order 66 survivors?
There must be a few of them out there apart from ones we know, so surely the rebellion would know what an asset that any of those Jedi survivors would be to the cause?
May be a season 2 thing?
Final question, how long in the timeline is this after obi wan?
Just dunno where the Bail Organa connection is.
There’s so much potential for this area of the timeline going into future season or other spin off around the building of the rebellion into a legit force etc.
So long as the writing quality is like this show and not like my 1st poem or rise of jaywalker level writing.
If they keep this up they’re on the right path.
Also, I want to know more about ‘the path’
So much stuff can tie in on season 2 and
Onwards!
Sacalamentomfinkle!
Admiral: pRePaRe tHe TrAcToR BeAm
Luthen: ima do what's called a pro gamer move
Only a Jedi has ever been shown to dispatch enemy fighters so handily. 😄
This show isn’t just the best Star Wars shows this year, it’s one of the best overall in all of TV
Does anyone else feel like Andor is going to figure out how to put B in K-2SO? Like transfer the “brain” so to speak
I shed a few tears in the end... No lies! 😭
