Luthien looks more & more like a Jedi. @16:51 that looks suspiciously like a light sabre to me, if you just note the shape, not the color or the way it is being held by Saul's man. Plus tell me those weren't light sabre type blades extending from Luthien's ship! If not a Jedi then perhaps a manufacturer of Jedi technology?
Saw in this show has been the bridge between the character in the animation, and the character in Rogue One. It's the path from what everyone is most familiar with, to what everyone got in the movie. And it's so believable and smooth, despite the chaos of the transition.
He was already paranoid and the end justify the means type of person in season 3 of Rebels and by season 4 he became full time tin hat and much moral brutal.
Kyle recognizes the Arrestor class cruiser right away is insane LMAO. But man, what an episode. The final scene with Diego Luna's acting and the music was so, so somber, it really got me.
I really like that Ferrix custom, it adds to idea of being part of a greater whole, also it means the city is built upon the ancestors, theres something really cool and spiritual about that imo.
@@danzansandeev6033 thats a good shout, i know there are some cultures where the dead are used to help plant trees and stuff. Its an interesting cutom.
It's also a very blue collar worker kind of tradition. They're a tightly-knit group of hardworking folk, and when they die, they make one last contribution by forming the walls that shelter their people. Also the named bricks are daily reminders of those that came before. Much more regular than having to visit a cemetery.
When Cassian called to tell Marva "she'd be proud of me"... Marva died never knowing that Cassian had truly become a Rebel and fought against the Empire. This episode broke my heart 😭
We have heard of the Daughters of Ferrix before this episode. Brasso wants Marva to go with them since she was once their president and they’d keep her safe while taking care of her health.
@@JTube571 That's a very weak, illogical theory. She's said she sitting around waiting to die, too old to care anymore about being caught, fell and was injured, was last shown extremely out of it, sick, and refuses to take her meds for a reason. That's how plot progression works.
@@JTube571 She died off screen so we can feel what Cassian feels. She died "off screen" for him too. Like the audience, He also did not have a chance to speak to her one last time.
Also, seriously, the amount of Bro energy shared between Melshi and Cass in that hug at the end. Need him to come back next season for more hijinks with the main man. Guys who escape prison together against death defying odds, stay together.
Energy like that is honestly sexless. Nothing really "bro-y" about it. It's a simple as sharing the same goal and passion of not letting a dictatorship take over. Same type of relationship as with Jyn.
Although super sad I think it was clever having Maarva die off screen. Cassian missed her death and so did we. It feels like a shock, a moment taken away from us 😢
Kyle Katarn and Blind wave are a must for me, after everything i watch related to star wars. So much goes over my head, but these two channels know everything!
22:09 That Imperial standing there in disbelief was so good. Who knows how long that ship will be in dock for repairs, 4 of his better pilots dead. All because he wanted some "practice" on the dude in the unassuming looking space honda.
the thing is, he was probably right about needing the practice... the imperial navy has had very little experience with anything since mopping up after the clone wars. Not only do individual crews have little experience, but even their command officers have had no opportunity to engage a peer adversary since finishing their studies at the academy
@@MercenaryPen Practice is good and all, but not on random civilian ships. Go do drills on staged ships. That was an absolute small dick power move, and he deserves that utter humiliation
I think it was smart on his part to want to "practice" on this haulcraft, even though it backfired horribly. It would have been a simple boarding and inspection. But this was Luthen Rael he had caught, and an inspection would *not* have gone down well for him. Training is no substitute for experience. How often would this one arrestor cruiser actually come across a ship that was too suspicious to ignore? It keeps the crew fresh and sharp. Except for the dead pilots and boarding party in this case.
I love how Luthen tricked the cantwell arrestor cruiser into increasing their tractor beam power so that it would just pull the chaff into itself at lethal speed. This use of a tractor beam against itself and goading the empire into screwing themselves over is so good.
You are the only reactors who got the "I'll be careful" callback to ANH. Your knowledge of the ships and weapons really ups my appreciation of this amazing episode!
I think the reason they treated B with such compassion is because on Ferrix they value things not aby a greedy way but they love building and machines and making things and keeping things running past the point where they should break. They honor their tools and awake everyday to the sound of hammering.
Thanks, Kyle! Thanks, Bendu! Thanks, Nerd Chronic! 🕯 Your enthusiasm for the Cantwell-class Arrestor Cruiser is delicious (and shared by me). #KyleKatarn #StarWars #Andor
23:50 "That was like something out of the Stackpole X-wing novels" Funny you should say that because the inspiration for this scene was from the Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn.
8:00 That's probably an indication of just how long Brasso has known Bee for. I think it's a fair assumption to make that Brasso has known Cassian/the Andor family since he was a boy and hence has known Bee for that long as well. There's a very good chance that he and Cassian played games with Bee when they were kids. Like you can imagine a young Cassian and Brasso playing with the toy Bantha and some toy Sand People while they pretend Bee is a Krayt dragon or something. So you could look at it as Bee being Brasso's best friend's dog. Now compare that to everyone else we've seen where even the closest organic-droid relation were formed as working relationships when the organic was an adult.
Called it ! I knew CEREAL KARN FLAKES would take it upon himself to go after ANDOR being the psychopath that he is 😂😂😂 . Luthen battle scene was so EPIC , we demand more of that ! , wish we had more episodes left , cant believe we have one more . Great Reaction Kyle ❤ and Bendu .
Regarding the scene with Mon Mothma's daughter doing the ritual, it feels like they're showing that the daughter might be keen on the idea of an arranged marriage. So it would mean that it would be easy for Mon Mothma to agree to Sculdun's terms, and that may smooth out her relationship with her daughter, but for the wrong reasons. Maybe that's why Mon Mothma is still reluctant to go through with the deal with Sculdun.
She also knows than Perrin would agree to the marriage as well, he wouldn't care about the political consequences of accepting Davo's proposal. Just the fact he's one of the wealthiest people in Chandrila should be enough for him.
It could go the other way too. The reading I get on Leida is that she dislikes her mother because she thinks her mother is only interested in her career and appearing to be a good person to the public. If she finds out that Mon stands to gain something she needs from the marriage, she might be a bit less enthused about it. But on the flip side, if Mon was to lean heavily on "you don't have to do this..." it might just encourage her to do it as a "screw you mum!" act of teenage rebellion.
24:00 - one of the original Thrawn trilogy books had Luke escaping a tractor beam by using a big cloud of chaff which caused the beam to crash. Was called a Covert Shroud manoeuvre. Thought that was were they were going
Saw's paranoia's the most well explained in that tense scene with Luthen as that behavior was evident in Rogue One. The finale's well set up in this episode very well, and Cassain's got the motivation he needed in order to bring Ferrix to freedom away from the Empire's grip. Despite you guys being a day late, your content blessed us on a daily. Edit: Luthen's lightsaber spinning move's the sickest thing I've ever witnessed!
The laser spin on Luthen's ship reminds me a great deal of the scene in Iron Man 2 when Tony and Rhodes are fighting robotic suits, they get outnumbered and Tony yells to get down and spins around with a laser like this cutting everything in pieces.
You have to give Forest Whitaker credit for actually trying to flesh out a unique character, he does fit the part of what a rebel leader would be under these circumstances
daughters of ferrix was mentioned in episode 9. When Biggs and Brasso discussed taking care of the mother, it was named as an organization that could help her find warm shelter. She was ba former president of the organization.
This is Best Star Wars ever to me. And I saw the the first one in the theater in '77. I truly like all of the other shows, but there's a true feeling of the earth beneath my feet on this one. Fantastic.
14:20 not just prepping for an arranged marriage, but prepping for a marriage as a YOUNG teen. Remember, when Perrin and Mon arrived on Coruscant and she was 16, they had already been married for a YEAR, so they got married when Mon was just 15 years old. So when Mon told Davo Skulden she doesn't necessarily approve of "that tradition," and this was after the point when he specifically said he was not asking for a betrothal, I think the tradition she didn't approve of was teenage marriages. I don't get the feeling her own marriage was necessarily arranged; she spoke fondly of the way Perrin was such a firebrand during his academy years before saying with regret, "How things change." I think she was allowed to choose her own husband, but encouraged to do so far too early in life. I think she has realized that teenagers are far too immature to marry because they are not done forming their personalities and opinions yet and becoming the people they are going to grow up to be. And evidently Chandrila doesn't do divorce, otherwise Perrin and Mon would have split by now since they are CLEARLY not getting along anymore. This could explain, too, why Leida gives her mother so much attitude now, because she's 13 now and, as Davo says, "will soon come of age," so she's looking at Mon like "Hey, I'm basically an adult now and I can get married in a year and have my own house and do my own thing, so I don't need to listen to you anymore."
I mean, it may not be that Chandrila "doesn't do" divorce so much as there's a social taboo. On the other hand, Leida may not need to worry, because if the marriage starts going wrong, I wouldn't put it past Vel to arrange for Leida's future husband to have a fatal accident
I’m ready to commit the ultimate heresy, even though there’s one episode left. Prepare to flame me! Here it is: Season 1 of Andor is the best Star Wars thing ever made. It’s better than The Last Jedi, it’s better than Empire and New Hope, it’s better than the Mandalorian and Clone Wars. Timothy Zahn and Roger MacBride Allen weep because their writing will never rise to the elite level of Andor’s. I’m dead serious. It’s no disrespect intended to any of those other incredible properties/writers I listed, they’re all amazing, but for my money, this is now the premier Star Wars narrative vehicle *ever*.
The corpo pistol Andor had in his lockbox wasn't an SE-14. It's actually a new design made from a Binatone TV Master MK 6, a home light gun game released in 1977.
Gilory did not have the balls to do a plot twist and smash the quadjumper into the rock wall and make another 3 episode arc with the 4 of them avoiding imperial patrols and getting the help of the natives ... 🤣
It was very briefly mentioned in the last episode that Maarva was a past president of the Daughters of Ferrix and asking if there was anything they could do to help her. That makes me think it’s more of a service and community organization like the Daughters of the American Revolution.
"I don't have lately, I have always. I have a constant blur of spinning plates and knifes on the floor and needy, panicked faces at the door of which you are but one of many" Such a great, great line. The writing of this show is just so crisp and perfect.
It's crazy that Luthen went through all the trouble (and risk) of contacting Saw in person, because he knew Saw well enough to know that Saw had a high probability of joining the Kreegyr mission... and he did it not necessarily to save Saw, but he knew Saw getting caught would compromise the entire rebellion. Which also leads me to the following conspiracy theory :) ... is Luthen a force-sensitive? A Guardian of the Whills maybe? Is that why he hates the Empire so much? He seems to be far too aware of everything going on to be an ordinary dude, and they've made a point of showing his "lightsaber hilt" staff twice now.
@@walteredgar2700 I admit, it's a long shot theory, and I don't think he's an actual Jedi - more like one of the force-sensitive-adjacent maybe. There are a lot of reasons this might not be true, but I also feel like this show doesn't deliberately call out details for no reasons.
Man, Brasso is such a good dude. Most people wouldn't take B2-EMO's grief seriously, but Brasso does. I mean, poor B2 is acting like a bereft husband who cannot understand why his wife is gone or why she won't come back. ;_;
@@branthall1787was just talking about this. Me and my friends just rewatched this. This is easily one of the saddest things in starwars if not just cinema in general . Had us bawling HARD
8:48 Now I cannot see them as not Vogons. XD Personally I was reminded of the mutated Nelvaanians, when I saw the guy with the hook. Luthen really turned into James Bond for a moment. If the nails takes advantage of the tractor beam, you could get a pretty devastating, if situational, weapon.
It makes sense to use chaff to destroy a tractor beam pulling at a ship. If it has the power to keep a ship in place, those needles are pulled in at lightspeed.
So, Marva been on Ferrix a long time, and the fact that they have so many bricks all around the city tells me that when all the Imps and strangers show up at the funeral service, there will be a huge shootout that will take them down, and the Empire will blame Andor for this also! When i think about old western's this is how legends were made. Kyles comment that the next time we see Ando on an ocean it will be even more sad. How true.
That Kleya - Vel convo gave me vibes of Thrawn to Mara: you were but one of the Emperor’s Hands Chaff is a logical counter to a tractor beam, esp when the projector is exposed as in here. The escape also reminded me of Luke escaping tractors in the original Zahn trilogy. Someone on the writing team was def a fan The Daughters of Ferris were mentioned before by Brasso
I saw the interview where Andy Serkis shared his vision of Kino's back story. He envisioned a foreman individual leading skilled tradesmen, which is where is production leadership skills came from. I don't recall him mentioning family though.
Knew you guys would lose your shit at the encounter that Luthen had with the Imp patrol. Such a great episode and amazing series. SW fans don't know what they want, but I want more of this.
I got the sense that the Daughters of Ferrix are something more akin to a social & civic organization, the kinds you might find in rural town that look after widows & elderly folks and provide support & companionship. I don’t think she founded it.
If the Behind the Scenes reveal that Dave Filoni or better yet, GEORGE LUCAS was the set designer of Luthen's shop... it'd all make sense. But honestly though whomever designed Luthen's shop, Luthen's character, and Luthen's ship deserves a raise and an award
I know i'm late to the party, but i just want to mention how in ep 10 lonni and luthen speak of 50 men that will be raiding spellhouse, but when saw says "it's 30 men" luthen doesnt even budge. He just immediately follows up with "plus kreegyr". He knows that saw is better off not knowing that's it's actually more. Man I love this show

The scene with saw with him becoming so paranoid was phenomenal and explains his behavior in rogue one

He was always sorta paranoid, though. His story started during the Clone Wars.

Those two aliens that helped Cassian and Melshi had such Jim Henson energy. I love it
When you watch Andor 11 and then immediately wait excitedly for this channel's reaction to seeing Luthen's ship in action
Dude same here!!
Same. Longest wait ever. Kyle’s reaction to the Fondor in battle didn’t disappoint

Training is no substitute for experience. How often would this one arrestor cruiser actually come across a ship that was too suspicious to ignore?
It keeps the crew fresh and sharp. Except for the dead pilots and boarding party in this case.
I'm writing a list of fans' nicknames for this series, like Syril "Blue Cereal" Karn, yours: "unassuming space honda" for the Fondor 😃
R.I.P. Colin Cantwell such an amazing talent, designed iconic ships. I hope he got a preview of his creation in this episode before he passed away.
The ship appears on an Imperial propaganda poster in a deleted scene from Solo. I'm sure he saw the final design.
I love how Luthen tricked the cantwell arrestor cruiser into increasing their tractor beam power so that it would just pull the chaff into itself at lethal speed. This use of a tractor beam against itself and goading the empire into screwing themselves over is so good.
I came here to say exactly this! Luthen is brilliant.
You are the only reactors who got the "I'll be careful" callback to ANH. Your knowledge of the ships and weapons really ups my appreciation of this amazing episode!
Cassian not being able to say goodbye to Marva and looking off into the sunset was so powerful
Especially knowing his ending in Rogue One.
I think the reason they treated B with such compassion is because on Ferrix they value things not aby a greedy way but they love building and machines and making things and keeping things running past the point where they should break. They honor their tools and awake everyday to the sound of hammering.
Luthen has the Star Wars equivalent of a James Bond car, because of course he does.

Thank you for your vids. You are truly a wonderful star wars fan and I enjoy watching your content.
I love how there are several moments throughout the series where they hold the camera on Cassian showing his thought process about the rebellion.
24:00 - one of the original Thrawn trilogy books had Luke escaping a tractor beam by using a big cloud of chaff which caused the beam to crash. Was called a Covert Shroud manoeuvre. Thought that was were they were going
this is a lot closer to firing a torpedo into the tractor beam rather than just using debris to confuse the targeting lock
@@MercenaryPen Not quite. He deliberately accelerated to goad them into cranking the tractor beam up, thus increasing the pull on the projectiles.
Saw's paranoia's the most well explained in that tense scene with Luthen as that behavior was evident in Rogue One.

You have to give Forest Whitaker credit for actually trying to flesh out a unique character, he does fit the part of what a rebel leader would be under these circumstances
Andor is so going to get into trouble only for Syril to stumble in and mess up the trap.
daughters of ferrix was mentioned in episode 9. When Biggs and Brasso discussed taking care of the mother, it was named as an organization that could help her find warm shelter. She was ba former president of the organization.
The scene with Lutten and his modified bad ass ship was awesome! This season finale will be incredible with everybody heading to Ferrix!!
Kino could have used that hover droid bed. We seen take the bodies of the dead off each floor.
Was anyone else waiting for the fishermen to start threatening to read poetry at Andor and Melchy?
Edit: 8:50 - HAH!

I just rewatched and man that was the saddest things I’ve ever seen in starwars. Never has a droid made me boohoo like that
“I don’t want to be alone, I want Maarva.” 😭
The brick thing was cool. If this were a fantasy show, the folks on Ferrix would be dwarves. That mourning ritual is totally a dwarf thing to do.
Saw’s paranoia is priceless

This show reminds me of road trips where the the drive is more fun than the destination, and I lovie it!
You forgot Melshi and Saw Gerrera. They also make it out of this show alive
The corpo pistol Andor had in his lockbox wasn't an SE-14. It's actually a new design made from a Binatone TV Master MK 6, a home light gun game released in 1977.
In a world with no handrails, no floatation devices wouldn't be a shock. 😉
The alien are local fishermen, the empire poisoned the water and they lost their livelihood, hence why they help Andor and Melshi escape.
Gilory did not have the balls to do a plot twist and smash the quadjumper into the rock wall and make another 3 episode arc with the 4 of them avoiding imperial patrols and getting the help of the natives ... 🤣
Cassian says "No names" then immediately after says "Tell Marva" 🤣🤣🤣
It was very briefly mentioned in the last episode that Maarva was a past president of the Daughters of Ferrix and asking if there was anything they could do to help her. That makes me think it’s more of a service and community organization like the Daughters of the American Revolution.
"I don't have lately, I have always. I have a constant blur of spinning plates and knifes on the floor and needy, panicked faces at the door of which you are but one of many"
Such a great, great line. The writing of this show is just so crisp and perfect.
It really is a great line, super underrated. It’s incredible how good the lines are in this show.
It's crazy that Luthen went through all the trouble (and risk) of contacting Saw in person, because he knew Saw well enough to know that Saw had a high probability of joining the Kreegyr mission... and he did it not necessarily to save Saw, but he knew Saw getting caught would compromise the entire rebellion.
Which also leads me to the following conspiracy theory :) ... is Luthen a force-sensitive? A Guardian of the Whills maybe? Is that why he hates the Empire so much? He seems to be far too aware of everything going on to be an ordinary dude, and they've made a point of showing his "lightsaber hilt" staff twice now.
I was starting to wonder the same. Was he trained in the Jedi arts?
@@walteredgar2700 I admit, it's a long shot theory, and I don't think he's an actual Jedi - more like one of the force-sensitive-adjacent maybe. There are a lot of reasons this might not be true, but I also feel like this show doesn't deliberately call out details for no reasons.
23:40 well said kyle 😂
Man, Brasso is such a good dude. Most people wouldn't take B2-EMO's grief seriously, but Brasso does. I mean, poor B2 is acting like a bereft husband who cannot understand why his wife is gone or why she won't come back. ;_;
As someone who struggles heavily with RSD and abandonment issues the "I don't want to be alone" line got me crying like a baby
@@branthall1787was just talking about this. Me and my friends just rewatched this. This is easily one of the saddest things in starwars if not just cinema in general . Had us bawling HARD
I think it's funny how this show is so disconnected from Jedi and the force that literally nobody notices Luthin might have a lightsaber.
8:48 Now I cannot see them as not Vogons. XD
Personally I was reminded of the mutated Nelvaanians, when I saw the guy with the hook.
Luthen really turned into James Bond for a moment.
If the nails takes advantage of the tractor beam, you could get a pretty devastating, if situational, weapon.
Marva's the spark. It will all kick off at the funeral next episode. Great penultimate episode moving all the pieces into place in a very somber way.
It makes sense to use chaff to destroy a tractor beam pulling at a ship. If it has the power to keep a ship in place, those needles are pulled in at lightspeed.
Luthans ship is also original concept for the millennium falcon
Amazing reaction! Your knowledge of Star Wars lore is always so impressive! Really makes this channel unique
Woohoo! Been waiting patiently for your reaction.
So, Marva been on Ferrix a long time, and the fact that they have so many bricks all around the city tells me that when all the Imps and strangers show up at the funeral service, there will be a huge shootout that will take them down, and the Empire will blame Andor for this also! When i think about old western's this is how legends were made. Kyles comment that the next time we see Ando on an ocean it will be even more sad. How true.
I had to think of the Babylon 5 shadow ships when he sliced up the tie fighters with those laser beams;)
That Kleya - Vel convo gave me vibes of Thrawn to Mara: you were but one of the Emperor’s Hands
Chaff is a logical counter to a tractor beam, esp when the projector is exposed as in here. The escape also reminded me of Luke escaping tractors in the original Zahn trilogy. Someone on the writing team was def a fan
The Daughters of Ferris were mentioned before by Brasso
They are all aliens to us. They are not from Earth.
as always, your reactions were awesome
Love you guys part of joy in watching this show was watching with you 😊
I already loved the look of the Fondor but now…oh god now it NEEDS to be in the X-Wing Miniatures game.
I need it as a Lego set
yo first reaction lol!! the intro was amazing whoever the 2nd person im was the funniest thing intro ive ever seen subscribed so fast
Luthen’s ship is the ‘knight rider of Star Wars, absolutely awesome.
How on earth do you know every weapon and every ship!! Amazing!😮
I saw the interview where Andy Serkis shared his vision of Kino's back story. He envisioned a foreman individual leading skilled tradesmen, which is where is production leadership skills came from. I don't recall him mentioning family though.
I thought the aliens looked like old fashioned Muppets and I love the design
Best part is he made them turn the tractor higher by pulling away so his counter measure would work better!
“That’s so Florida shirt” lol
Knew you guys would lose your shit at the encounter that Luthen had with the Imp patrol. Such a great episode and amazing series. SW fans don't know what they want, but I want more of this.
You're reaction to Luthen's lightsaber ship spin was my exact reaction as well LOL I was freaking out, like damn. I'm happy we got some space action
I wonder if Luthen’s ship was designed by Maul 😂 those lightsaber looking beams looked wild
I got the sense that the Daughters of Ferrix are something more akin to a social & civic organization, the kinds you might find in rural town that look after widows & elderly folks and provide support & companionship. I don’t think she founded it.
The little things Luthen shoots at the tractor beam satellite almost remind me of dibbers from the Thrawn Ascendency books
great episode. love every second that Saw shows up. this show is next level.
@22:00 pretty much my reaction too 😂that ship is too OP
If the Behind the Scenes reveal that Dave Filoni or better yet, GEORGE LUCAS was the set designer of Luthen's shop... it'd all make sense. But honestly though whomever designed Luthen's shop, Luthen's character, and Luthen's ship deserves a raise and an award
I was worried that the ISB had found you with how long the wait was to clear the blockade with this one…
I know i'm late to the party, but i just want to mention how in ep 10 lonni and luthen speak of 50 men that will be raiding spellhouse, but when saw says "it's 30 men" luthen doesnt even budge. He just immediately follows up with "plus kreegyr". He knows that saw is better off not knowing that's it's actually more. Man I love this show
dudes were actually ice fishing - i hope thats a shoutout to Auralnauts
Maava would have left Cassian a hologram message with the droid : Her plans to blow up the hotel using her death & truth about his sister
16:52 👀...Emitter (check), Focusing Ring (check), Ingition Switch (check), Kyber chamber (check), Pommel (check). That aint no beat stick.
Love these reactions bros , especially Patreon Page 👍🏼👍🏼
Ha, Vogons was my first impression of the Narkinians too!
