      Could not agree more. The general reception to this show ...i.e. less than expected viewership numbers on Disney+, makes me realize even more how the general audience for this property prefers action heavy scenes filled often with space wizards, flying fighters and spaceships with little that is asked of them other than to enjoy the spectacle and the established lore of the universe.

      It's because the Sequel movies and 4 terrible TV shows ruined Star Wars for everyone.

    Never has a Star Wars show so thoroughly explored Totalitarianism in power, along with its peculiar ideology of total domination from within through the mass atomization of the whole people, brought about from isolation and erosion of the public trust, and the total elimination of spontaneity in peoples lives. These are the preconditions for turning the actions of every person into reactions so one person cannot be defined separately from all the others. Under such conditions resistance becomes near impossible as not 1o people can come together and form bonds of trust as any semblance of common humanity becomes harder and harder to identify as thinking is replaced by conditioned responses. Totalitarian power, in the views of it’s leaders, is basically created through the organization of isolated people who are atomized into individual units whose coming together, essentially, draw power similarly to how friction or galvanic currents generates electricity. As a result these movements tend to openly defy rationality by adhering to an endless and structureless momentum that must always remain in motion. The only way to enforce this kind of continuous mass momentum is through constant terror and constant purges. Violence, intolerance, and hatred is not based in any constitutionalized set of principles, it’s simply what allows an atomized group of people to remain organized and provides the momentum so necessary for Totalitarian organizations to carry out their murdurous and dominating objectives for dominations sake alone. And never has a show more embodied that the best defense against such an ideology is spontaneity and love, because the only thing that holds it together is hate and terror.

    Sorry I'm late with this but videos are going crazy over this masterpiece of a speech
    "My name is Maarva Carassi Andor. I'm honored to stand before you. I'm honored to be a Daughter of Ferrix and honored to be worthy of the stone. Strange... I feel as if I can see it.
    I was six, I think, first time I touched a funerary stone. Heard our music, felt our history, holding my sister's hand as we walked all the way from Fountain Square. Where you stand now, I've been more times than I can remember. I always wanted to be lifted. I was always eager, always waiting to be inspired. I remember every time it happened, every time the dead lifted me... with their truth.
    And now I'm dead. And I yearn to lift you. Not because I want to shine or even be remembered. It's because I want you to go on. I want Ferrix to continue. In my waning hours, that's what comforts me most.
    But I fear for you. We've been sleeping. I've been sleeping. We've had each other, and Ferrix, our work, our days. We had each other, and they left us alone. We kept the trade lanes open, and they left us alone. We took their money, and ignored them, we kept their engines churning, and the moment they pulled away, we forgot them. Because we had each other. We had Ferrix. But we were sleeping. I've been sleeping. And I've been turning away from the truth I wanted not to face.
    There is a wound that won't heal at the center of the galaxy. There is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us.
    We let it grow, and now it's here. It's here, and it's not visiting anymore. It wants to stay. The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness, it is never more alive than when we sleep. It's easy for the dead to tell you to fight, and maybe it's true, maybe fighting is useless. Perhaps it's too late. But I'll tell you this... If I could do it again, I would wake up early and be fighting these bastards...from the start!
    *Fight the Empire!* "

    What can't be shown in this is what elevates this moment beyond a good speech...
    It's the immersion that sets it up the whole show silently running in background coming to a head.
    The empire so eager to squash the little people, the empire looking down at citizens, the empire casually joking about restricting the "primitives" etc etc what that does as you watch is elevate this speech because as the viewer along for only part of the journey we feel the plight and powerlessness of these everyday people, grinded down and abused by a system that cares nothing for them... so when she posthumously gives this speech it lights the fire in our hearts and souls and takes the leash off all the pent up angry not just of ferrix as a whole but the audience ready to see the empire know fear.
    It's like V for Vendetta
    People should not live in fear of their governments, its the government that should fear the people's power.
    In this moment despite that fallout that comes the people of Ferrix say NO MORE!!!!

    Such a great speech. We're often shown the rebellion from the side of people who have been long committed to the cause, not people who slowly come to the realization of what's happening - Ferrix, what one might call a loyal or collaborator planet, gradually realizing the encroaching threat wanting a little more every time it stopped by was done encroaching, and it was THERE to stay and tell them what to do. No one has ever appreciated when empire comes to their land, telling them what to do, and I think we can all appreciate in a way what Ferrix and Maarva were feeling.

    Andor's one of my favourite bits of media (full stop not just Star Wars) because it shows the moral grey area of rebellion and oppression without totally bottling it and painting both sides as being as bad as each other. I spent the first three episodes waiting for the other shoe to drop and it never did. Andor knows where the blame lies, and where all the violence ultimately comes from. It demonstrates this in each of the three main story arcs, but it's best shown throughout in the character of Luthen. He is a bad dude, there's no question about that, but instead of focussing on this as if to say "the ends don't justify the means" in the cowardly, lazy and edgy way that so much other media does, it saves its ire for the real cause - these BASTARDS who are destroying the world(s) for their own selfish, and often totally banal, personal gain, and who can't help themselves but to push ordinary people too far.
    Luthen isn't judged by the show, because it respects its viewer enough to know that we don't judge him half as harshly as he judges himself, and that we can see exactly what has pushed him to the point he is at. It's all the more impactful because the villains are so terrifyingly mundane. I've met all of them at one point or another in my life.
    It may seem a bit silly to praise a Star Wars show for being anti-Empire and pro-Rebellion, but I've never known a Star Wars property to make the Empire feel so real and relevant. It's peopled by dull, dreary men and women who live in dark places and work in endless cubicled hell-holes and yet will die to defend them, and will hate other people who see their miserable lives for what they truly are; and it's driven by rapacious commerce, exploitation and the apathy of the masses. Andor never shies away from this reality, and it only glorifies resistance to it. It's pretty politically subversive and I can't believe Disney made it.

For example, if Maarva said, "You may not remember, but there was a time where seeing a lightsaber meant something to us! The Empire wants you to forget, but I remember!

That boy inflamed the situation from 10% to 1000% in like one second. The result is hundreds of dead Ferrex citizens and dozens of dead Imperials. Nobody won that battle... It was a disaster.

    This show is the reason why the sequels hurt so much. All the pain and suffering endured, all the sacrifices made to defeat the empire. And they dare to tell me in episode 7 that it was all worthless by undoing all the Rebellion has accomplished within one hour of the movie because somehow Palpatine returned with an even better death star???

    Andor is Star Wars at its finest, everything from the acting, the cinematography and the music, is absolutely top tier.

    This might be the most pivotal scene in all of Star Wars canon. It's my favorite scene for sure. In 1991, when Fiona Shaw played the comedic role of Elspeth Lomax in 'Three Men and a Little Lady', I never imagined that she would ever play such a powerful role (Maarva Andor) in the Star Wars Universe. Her posthumous speech was epic awesome! I think there should be a ship in the New Republic named after Maarva Andor.
