#Andor #StarWars #eastereggs
This episode set the stage for a final showdown on Ferrix where our key characters will finally gather in the same place for the first time since episode 3-and I think we’re about to see Cassian formally join Luthen’s cause, and the rebel alliance about to be formed.
One clue that this is happening soon is the score of the opening credits. We pointed out last week that more instruments are added with each episode. Last episode sounded like this [clip]. And this episode added more horns and strings. Horns are often a symbol that you’re being called to war. And adding so many new strings means you’re adding more seats to the orchestra-as these various rebel factions and cells begin to gel together into one cohesive unit.
First let’s talk about some of the recurring themes in the episode, and how the beginning and ending mirror each other so well.
The episode begins with Melshi and Cassian dangling, near death, trying to evadeImperial patrols. Melshi says [my hands don’t work] And the episode ends with the town of them going out into the world, to potentially face down those same Imperial controls. Melshi regions the episode on the brink of death, about to literally lose his grip. But the episode ends with those same hands gripping a blaster, and being field with resolve [someone has to tell them].
Once again the episode also intercuts between people who are trapped-but in this episode, people begin to find an escape. Andor and Melshi escape from Narkina. Luethen escapes the imperial control. Mon Mothma is about to escape her financial situation by betrothing her daughter to a gangster. Cyril is escaping the prison of his day job to hunt for Andor. Ad Bix may or may not be escaping her predicament by lying to the ISB.
As Cassian is near death, we see that his adopted mother Maarva has just succumbed to full-on death. And there is something else we see a lot of in this episode that’s been lacking-simple acts of kindness. The fishermen help Cassian and Melshi, and brasso is kind to B2.
Maarva’s death scene is presented from the POV of B2. originally we see him as a cold, unfeeling red eye. Of course this is similar to Hal-9000 from stanley kubrick’s 200 a space odyssey [clip, i can;t do that]. Hal was a computer designed to help the astronauts, who gradually became more concerned with his own well-being a survival. [being shut down, saying don't do that]. Now I don;t think B2 is going to start shoving people out of an airlock, but like Hal, he does have strong emotional desires.
[what about the droid]. As we see the world from his point of view, one of the women just refers to him as “a droid” and he starts shaking nervously, disrupting this cup. The cup is probably there because someone was using him as a table-an object. And he’s afraid he;ll be deactivated or alone without maarva. But Braaso doesn't treat him like an appliance, he treats him like a friend who just lost someone special [take her out, say goodbye]
And man, Star Wars has a weird relationship with droids. A few years ago the pop culture detective put out a video called the tragedy of doids where he pointed out that drones are second class citizens with emotions. Then again, Luke did tell us this kind of thing is unusual [never seen such devotion in a droid before. I have. [L3 form solo, how doest work…it works].
But all of this is just heartbreaking. B2 can;t even process Marvas death [I want Marva]. Aarva is taken out on an anti-grav sled, just like Ulaf was in the last episode. And think about the contrast between them. Maarva died with rebellion in her heart, she died in her home, which is all of these warm colors-and she’s attended to by her friends. Ulaf died in a cold, sterile place, where he was bagged and thrown out like garbage.

Surely the ship on the right hand view screen is a Nemoidian shuttle? It looks very much like Nute Gunray's ship from 'The Prequels'. Imagining it as "something-with-something-else-bolted-on" is more complex than necessary.
Great video! But you're still calling X-Wings Z-95s. You can clearly see they are T-65 X-Wings.
Regarding Easter Eggs: Let us not forget that Marvel and Star Wars are technically within the same comic universe/multiverse/thing. If you happen to notice the Wakandan necklace in this episode: Points for you.
the nets look like stokely nets from heir to the empire like the stokley sticks i think
I still think Deadra is the sister he’s looking for
The tractor beam scene was also an analogy. Luthen needed to gauge how hard the tractor beam was pulling. He forced them to pull harder by making it look like he was trying to run away. When they tightened their pull, that’s when he sprung his trap and destroyed the tractor beam. That scene is basically the whole show in a nutshell.
Excellent observation.
Woo😮
@@StatusMusicDesignThanks!
All I could think when he destroyed the tractor beam, is well, there is another ship captain who lost his job for utter failure!
Very clever observation...bastards were still going to board him even though he came back clean. I was hoping he was going to take out the bridge and destroy the empire's ship though.
The last scene with Andor on the beach and the sun brightening the horizon looks like the last scene of him on the beach in Rogue 1….
I just finished watching and I was thinking the exact same thing
I was too engrossed by the music on the first watch but caught that later. Made me wonder if he's remember Maarva at the end of Rogue One
"Your father must be proud"
While he hoped his mom was proud of him at that time
@@Makocat On Point, man!
Yup! It was an emotional final few seconds for sure
A prefect episode. Luthen's ship has to be one of the coolest ships in recent star wars history!!
Not to mention how good that all looked. We have really not seen too much of that quality when it comes to space shots/battles in these shows
@@CheddyC razor crest escape from x wings in the mandalorian looked better imo
And Luthen one of the coolest characters
Even better Tony Gilroy said that ship will be available.
Now I want a custom Fondor Haulcraft even more. Gatling guns, super lightsabers, hyperdrive, secret cosplay closet. Oh my!!
Huge props to mon mothma. Mental ,and emotional stress from every side possible, and have to pretend nothing is wrong, and put on a smiley face.
I really loved how Brasso was compassionate toward the mourning B2EMO. None of that, 'they are only droids'
I love this man. the best bro and full of compassion
B2EMO likely stuck with her everywhere it went and Cassian so pretty much the community learned and recognized B2EMO as a individual with feelings and similar and its obvious from the get go he made it known. He's supposed to be old. The directors said pretty much almost like the family pet. Imagine a pet or animal like a dog that just lost its lifetime human owner. But with the mentality of a child and you have B2EMO.
For the community its a loss, for Cassian its heartbreaking. For B2EMO its literally his world ending.
@@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent Beatifully said! I agree with every word!
I’m not shy to admit I cried a bit thinking about B2EMO’s fate. Possibly one the most emotive characters we’ve seen. I want to adopt him.
@@deannaatkinson3004 Same here!
I am pretty sure those are NOT Z-95 Headhunters in Saw's airwing. They look like T-65B X-Wings to me. Anyone else want to check this with me? I double checked Wookiepedia and the images of the Z-95 don't match. The Z-95 has two blaster-cannons and the X-Wing has four. Nonetheless, thank you for these videos! Really fast turn-around! 🙂
You are correct they are X-wings
Yup, partisan x-wings
Do you guys think he's still mis-identifying these to ensure someone will correct him in the comments, thus increasing engagement with this video? I'm kind of fine with it the first time, but this is the second time, that I know of, that he's mis-identified these two specific starfighters as Z-95s, and I know people corrected him in the comments on that other video as well.
Ya they are some kind of X-Wing. Z95 Headhunters only have a single wing and engine on each side not 4.
I came here to say this. The two ships are definitely not Z-95 Headhunters.
The Fondor is now one of my favorite ships. Its up there with the Ghost and Razorcrest.
I agree!
We will soon learn that the Fondor was made by Aston Martin, serial number 1964DB5.
Ebon Hawk
Normandy..
can we get some more props for the score please? absolutely tremendous work by nicholas britell. the piece over the end credits in this episode was absolutely gorgeous.
the score has been nothing short of brilliant. it shows what a soundtrack can be when it moves past the standard orchestral symphony. &, yes... Nicholas Britell is a genius in full array. i sat with that end credit piece & let All the Feelz wash over me.
@@pagansandroids4935 yeah, me too! Love the orchestral version of the main theme right at the end as well.
I cried
I've caught myself listening to the music during the end credits right to the end multiple times now
I literally sat there for 2 minutes after this episode ended and just took it in. Andor looking out over the shore gave me binary sunset vibes. Beautiful stuff
The Imperial ship is actually a Cantwell class. Named after Colin Cantwell who designed and originated the shape of the Star Destroyer way back in the 70s during preproduction for the original Star Wars. His ship design had those dishes and the high ariel laden bridge tower. That was a nice Easter egg.
Exactly. I was a little bummed the video didn't mention him. I was glad to see his original designs get some love in this show.
Is this the class that Han Solo was talking about when he said that he's "outrun Imperial ships, and not the local bulk cruisers, mind you, but the big Correllian (ISD) ships," or would he be talking about the Arquitens Class, like Moff Gideon's cruiser?
@@jackmorris7755 personally I like to think he’s talking about Gozanti class but its never confirmed what he’s talking about
deep nerd lore. thanks for sharing
Yup, he also passed away recently, sadly. Legend.
I know its a stretch but I'm thinking Maarva's brick is going to be loaded with explosives(she would have wanted it that way) and will be put into the building that the Imps are housed in. Would make for a great battle breaking out and Cas can rescue B and Bix.
Duuuude. I didn't think of that! That kinda rules!
@@fracturedfingers remember her obsession at the end. Watching the IMPs. If not the hotel then somewhere to inflict damage.
bix probably gonna die
@@maruf2050 I’m afraid you’re right. Not sure I would want to carry on with those screams in my brain. She looked big time rough.
Or it's in her will that her friends use her bricks to bash some stormtroopers' heads in. She'd still be in the fight.
Yeah that wasn't Syril's 'secret box'. He waited for his mother to leave home before sneaking back in. He even walks past his own room before raiding what looks like her nightstand as it was full of jewellery. He's stealing credits from her presumably to get to Ferrix.
Which just added another layer to his character.
Doesn't even have the credits to get away on his own - has to "steal from Mommy's purse" to flee the planet.
Which is just another thing I love because usually in the story everyone seems to be able to just "go" where they want/need to.
Once again, Syril shows how it is for most of the middle class residents of the galaxy.
I was thinking the same thing. I said to myself, "Stooop! Thief!" 🤣🤣
Yep that was pretty blatant, surprised SC got that wrong in this video.
Yes, caught this error myself. His box remains a mystery. Holo nudes I’m sure.
Shows he is willing to compromise morals, risk everything, to catch his prey. A lot going on with him and can’t wait to see where season 2 leads him (granted he doesn’t get killed in 12)
One if the best episodes so far, that space battle with Luthen had me on edge!
Luthen's more of a badass than I thought he was...his starship had lightsabers!!! WTF?!?!?!?!
🤌🤌🤌
He's reformed Sith or secret Jedi. That scene pretty much tipped it off.
@@robertfrost8264 you think? we call them lightsabers but they were probably just lasers. The kyber crystal he has could be powering the lasers but idk how it works in star wars universe.
@@robertfrost8264 I had a feeling he was something other than a spy, you're right today showed it
I may be reading to much into this, but I find it interesting that "Andor" consistently codes Luthen with iconography traditionally given to a Sith: "Aldani" gives him a cheery, Senator Palpatine esque dual identity to contrast with the more somber Sideous-esque characterization we'd seen so far, "No Way Out" ends with a scene where he's dressed in black and flowing cape, and this episode gives his ship an accessory that essentially turns it into Darth Maul's double bladed lightsaber.
I was thinking that Luthen is a dark jedi that was on the outs with Sideous or another Sith and all he wants is revenge and sets up puzzle pieces to destroy the sith. Of course he won't be alive and it could take decades for his plan to be completed.
I've noticed the dark projection of the char, but i have thought with no doubt so far, that is a way to show that, war even when is for the "good" ones, takes you to a dark place, the more compromised, the darker... But Michael Evans your point makes me reconsider, and i hope is not a sith like char. Would take the poetry away.
nice post. i would add his eyes give off a sithy vibe at times. im loving this show
@@TheGordeaux imagine what season 2 will bring
I think the reason Luthen's iconography matches so well with the Sith and its inherent darkness is best explained in his own monologue from episode 10:
"I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them."
Definitely not a coincidence, but definitely not a literal interpretation either!
Am I the only one who thinks that Kleya looks a lot like Leia? Even their names are similar. Is it deliberate? Early on in the series I did a double take as it sounded like Luthen called her Leia. Then I couldn’t get it out of my head how much she reminded me of OT Princess Leia. I know it’s not but the similarity is uncanny. If they were ever going to cast a new Leia this actress would have been perfect.
Noticed it too, her likeness is quite uncanny.
Yes the scene in a previous episode where she was walking with her hood up to meet Vel, I was literally like, "is this Leia?!"
At 14:47 - Those aren't Z-95, they are X-Wings. You can see the split in the wings, and the quad laser canons. Z-95s only have single canons on each wing. Also the Z-95's fuselage is more rounded aft of the cockpit. These have the more squared off aft of the X-Wing.
I agree
Totally agree!
I suspect they maybe a prototype x-wing. They definitely look a bit more stubby.
The comment I was looking for👍
Second time hes done that, they are obviously partisan Xwings. Its an odd one
The piece of art you see in the middle of Kleya and Vel when they are talking in Luthen's store (8:02) is a miniature version of the Aztec's Sun Stone (commonly known as the Aztec Calendar, which is huge and is one of the most important pieces in the History and Antropologhy museum in Mexico City) but without the figure of the Aztec God in the center. Excellent detail possibly inspired by Diego Luna; probably there are pieces from other earthly cultures in that store.
Finally, somebody knows the correct name for that artefact!
This is the post I was looking for.
The end with andor gazing out into the horizon ,and ocean parallel very nicely with his death in rogue one, and staring out into the ocean / horizon from the death star.
Spoilers!!
JK rogue one is my favorite Star Wars movie of all time 🎉
I think instead of a TIE Bomber, it was a TIE Shuttle, which looks similar but you'll see it doesn't have an actual bomb chute hanging underneath. And you missed the name of the Imperial Patrol Ship was the Cantwell-class, named after Colin Cantwell who was a concept artist for star wars and designed many ships.
Checks out to me, why would you send a bomber to attack a ship?
Good catch! Specifically, it's probably the Tie boarding craft variation of the shuttle, full of stormtroopers. Since the commander had ordered it to be inspected.
Not quite, shuttle have outward-facing wings. Probably just a bomber with a troop transport cabin replacing the ordnance bay.
RIP Cantwell. Glad they put an homage to him in this show.
Glad you mentioned this, I came here to mention that the middle TIE was actually most likely a boarding party.
Haha I did as well. Thanks for mentioning this!
I think Syril stole those credits from his mother. He waited till she left, and the 'Safe' had jewelry, that probably wasn't Syril's.
Yep, that was my take on it...
he needs money to go to andor's planet.Just shown how good andor is.Even middle class children need to steal from his mother to go to far away planet.
The boy messed up. He only stole the credits, he should have stolen a necklace or some earrings as well to gift to Dedra when he gets to ferrix. Showing up without a gift, his mother will be so disappointed in him.
I got the impression that Syril went into his mommy’s ‘safe’ and stole her money. Why else would he wait till she was gone? I think he stole from her to buy a trip to Ferrix, in hopes of capturing Cass. I wonder if Dedra will have him arrested…maybe send him to Narkina 5?
This show is the best thing thats come out of Star Wars since Return of the Jedi. So pleased with each and every episode.
There is no way this series can be as epic as it is and still be under the radar. The pure perfection of this episode can not be under stated or under sold. I love thr chess match that is playing out right in front of us as well. Didnt pick-up on it till the Saw scene, the anticipation of moves, and sacrifice (pawn). The ending made me weep like a baby as well with that orchestra weave.
This series deserves a full documentary of behind-the-scenes and breakdowns
omg I loved that spaceship battle so much. Luthen is such a badass. A great character played by a great actor. Can't wait for the finale!
Luthen is so awesome I'm starting to think force users just got out-classed.
That Luthen battle was GOATed 💯
Love how this show has hardly any memberberries but your thumbnails for the breakdowns always do 🤣
sho', I memba'
I like how Melshi's shirt at the end was covered with a hexagon pattern like all the parts they made in prison
Not only did the final scene on the beach mirror Cassian's ending on Scarif, but the way in which he died mirrors what's done to the dead on Ferrix -- cremation.
Last episode, when you first mentioned about the theme tune building episode by episode, I was blown away. I actually had not cottoned on to that, and it's a fascinating subliminal element. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
So when did they outfit ships with lightsabers? That’s what Luthens’ ship looked like, a big version of Darth Maul’s dual blade saber. And I do hope there are droid therapists, because B2 really needs to talk to someone - he’s definitely clinically depressed.
Androids dream of electric sheep, but helper droids dream of their lost mothers 😢
Luthen’s like Indiana Jones meets James Bond. That ship is prolly outfitted with all kinds of exotic and ancient artifacts from around the galaxy. Those red blades may very well have been a Sith kyber-powered weapon.
Luthens lasers are likely actual high beam lasers. Not the plasma weapons that the rest of the galaxy uses. Against anything larger it likely doesn't do much but against a small ship like a fighter with no shields like ties its probably devastating.
These are probably ancient or specialized tech probably not even a weapon but something more for say industrial use that's been weaponized. Your likely not going to see these on your traditional ships weapons systems. Its possible they could have been ancient sith or republic tech.
Yeah B2 will need to either talk to someone or either be memory wiped or something cause he fits the definition of clinically depressed.
Actually I wouldn't be surprised if he be the one to set Marve rebellion off.
Well, his name is B2 EMO and we know how Emo's are, lol.
Definitely going to be moping around for a long time, poor lil guy!
It's called grief in this case, not depression. It's ok as long as it doesn't last more than 2 weeks
Not sure how big of a detail this is, but when you described binding as holding together, it reminded of Obi Wan describing the Force to Luke. “It surrounds us, it penetrates us, it binds the galaxy together.” Just thought that was a nice touch
Syril mentioned in a previous episode that he could identify Axis by his voice. The Empire's anti-piracy ship has his voice now.
Goddamned, you are right
Fairly sure that those weren’t Z95 Headhunters but actual X wings. Those ships had s-foils like X-wings, Z95 Headhunters only have single wings not to mention different fuselages. And I think that was a Tie Shuttle not a bomber, due to a lack of a bomb Shute as well as the mentioning of a boarding party.
Exactly, and they have roundish canopy from The Republic era
The ones from Saw, have boxy as Standard X-Wings
_'Chute'_
I think that mon mothma saying she found the elder means she "came of age"
And syril was stealing from mom
B2EMO is my new favourite droid, he's just so sweet. He's like a cross between a child and a family dog.
And with just one scene they made the Fondor an iconic ship in the same league of the Millennium Falcon
The ship on the right appears to be more closely too, if not exactly, a Sheathipede-class transport shuttle that we first saw appear in The Phantom Menace and primarily used as the Phantom II in Star Wars: Rebels
It's probably the Sienar-Chall Utilipede Transport from Galaxy's Edge
@@autrist598 Exactly, I was thinking the profile matches the ship on the elevated landing platform on Batuu.
I was hoping someone would point that out
17:25 My best guess is that's a Sheathipede class shuttle. Numerous appearances in Rebels, where one became the Phantom 2 after the Ghost's first shuttle was destroyed.
The empire main use of torture against the rebels and especially Bix was destroying their hope. Daedra entire speech to her before making her listen to the screams of dying alien children was there was no way out of her net. The writing on this show is a masterpiece
That was some Jedi level piloting from Luthen with the spinning lasers. The way he was talking, at times, seemed like maybe he was a Jedi.
Ship schematic on the left is indeed a ship from Corellian Engineering Corp. It’s a YT-2400BT freighter, a variant of the YT-2400. One of many ships created for the civilian fleet in SW9:RoS ; appears very briefly onscreen & in film’s art book
You are right! My first thought was that it was the Outrider, another modified YT-2400 from Shadows of the Empire, but when I looked it up to check my fuzzy memory, it didn't quite match.
That’s what it is!!! Thanks!
Considering how much screen time C3PO has gotten over the 3 trilogies, his "almost" death in Rise of Skywalker was barely a blip emotionally.
Contrast this with B2Emo's few scenes in Andor. The way he was trying to process Marva's death was just heartbreaking. Fuck. I am tearing up just remembering that scene. We never even got to see her one last time.
Sitting on the charger all day even though he was all charged...Classic depression symptoms.
We will never see her again, just like that. Showing us the fragility and ephemerality of life
17:21 That ship is a cargo ship. I recognize it from Disneyland as is sits over the cafe in Galaxy’s Edge. It contains 3 boxes with the numbers 77 80 and 83 being a reference to the year each film in the original trilogy came out. You can see it in the Disney+ documentary about Galaxy’s Edge.
Andor and Rouge One parallels in this episode.
Cass calls to message his Mom from a beach looking towards light....
He says something to the effect that she will be so proud of him.
Cass to Jyn on a beach looking towards light...
Says something about how her Father would be proud of her.
When you mentioned the ships schematics on screen the right one looks very much like a "sheathipede-class transport shuttle" used primarily by the CIS during the clone wars.
I was waiting for you to mention the aztec calendar in Luthen’s shop framed between Vel and Kleya! Actually not a calendar but a « Sun Stone » which describes the mexica cosmovision and the movement of stars, passing of cycles and ages … maybe a hidden meaning? It was also used as target practice by later disrespectful cultures (the spanish and early independent Mexico)
Also, Diego Luna is mexican, so surely at least a nod!
@@danielcabello8345 Likely! Did you catch the double-headed serpent sculpture also in the shop? Is the famous mexica sculpture, currently in the British Museum. It is believed to have been part of the gifts Moctezuma gave Cortés when they first met. I am sure Luna surely has something interesting to tell about it.
Yes, I noticed that too!
Yes, noticed that too! But this one was so prominent!
Yup. really blatant
I loved how they honored Colin Cantwell with the cruiser name and used his pree starwars 1977 designs. Had. A chance to meet him before he passed walkway
The alien sleeping in the hotel room while he retrieved his stuff was the same species of alien sleeping in the jail cell w Jyn in Rogue One.
Amazing how many little details they managed to cram into this show!
The Impérial ship is a Cantwell class in référence to Colin Cantwell who designed the x-wing and that star ship.
Love how this series helps take an already great Star Wars film in Rouge One & adds so many additional layers to it, essentially taking it to a whole new level! That’s the sign of incredible writing & care on the part of the entire production team.
Cassian didn't just give a blaster to Melshi, he gave the murder weapon from Ferrix to him. I feel like this is going to be very important in a future episode. If Melshi gets captured with that thing, they will connect him with Andor. After Kreegyr is fingered as Axis, that puts the whole thing to bed for the ISB, especially after Saw and Rael let Kreegyr burn to save the inside man. But then Daedra or Syril finds the blaster, knows what it is, and knows someone is still out there who is very close to Axis.
Thi could also be an example of Andor's survival reflexes kicking in: getting that blaster away from him and getting away from Melshi before he goes loud about the prison. It seems like the kind of thing that Cassian Andor would screw someone over about.
Ryan I come here after each episode to see what you found and I missed. I thought I had a pretty good eye for camera work but man oh man your breakdown of the Vel exchange with Luthen’s partner was awesome. Thanks for that.
He gets a lot wrong and makes up the rest. A bit hit and miss.
Not sure if you’ve pointed out the stone in Luthen’s shop, between Kleya and Vel. It is the Aztec calendar. Does that mean someone has visited earth?
Yeah, it looks like the Aztec Sun Stone but the centre is different.
Not the only earthly-historical reference: in one corner of the shop is visible (specially last episode) an sculpture; a green double-headed serpent. This is a version of an famous mexica (aztec) turquoise piece, currently in the British Museum.
Can I just say again how much I am enjoying Andor?
Luthen's shop on coruscant had so many cool artifacts out of star wars lore as well as from our neck of the woods. Check out this take on an Aztec/Mixtec artifact from the 15th century. They changed out the double snake heads for freakin' rancor heads!
I love that they named the ship after Colin Cantwell who designed it originally for A New Hope.
@screencrush I think the fishermen (or at least one of them) who save Andor and Melshi are Nelvanian warriors from Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003 TV series). Specifically Season 3, episodes 22-25 that features Anakin's "trial of fire."
I agree. Their design is really similar to the Nelvanian
That space fight scene 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The actor who played Tigo, the officer talking to Deedra about the possible funeral in Ferrix, is Wilf Scolding, who played Rhaegar Targaryen in the GOT flashbacks.
I can't believe it, each episode it better than the last. I may have teared up when Cassian's mom died and got chill when Luthen fought his way out of the empire's patrol. LOVE THIS SHOW!!!
Always great to see Andor episodes.
Will be interesting to see if Marvel takes a lesson from this and makes some of its more mature shows… more mature.
lol lets hope so, she-hulk left a bad taste in my mouth
@@arishemghoul9571 oh no, She-Hulk was fantastic fun. It was exactly what it wanted to be.
I think the 2nd ship in the one screen is the one model of a CIS shuttle like the one used by ghost squad in the later season of rebels
Definitely CIS, looks like a Sheathipede-class shuttle, type-B.
I love how at the end of this episode the beach looks almost identical to the beach and setting sun where Andpr sacrifices his life for the greater good in Rogue One... it's as if his whole life is pulling him to that beach and the harder he tries to run the faster hes pulled to that place in time...the beauty subtlety of this show is truly breathtaking
The Cantwell class ship is an Easter egg and tribute to Colin Cantwell who passed away this year - the ship design was one of his early ideas for New Hope.
That conversation with Luthen and his partner/wife was top notch. Made it seem like a trade of goods.
theyre a couple??. isnt she wayyy to young
@@skinnylegend8324 that wasn't a problem for Padme ;)
@@skinnylegend8324 she's like 30, so no.
@@mewtwo.150 Bro, do you know anything about Star Wars? Padme was only 7 years apart. Would a 23 year old dating a 30 year old seem wrong to you?
I see them as father/daughter.
Great recap. Love this show, and love your channel. I'd only add that framing Andor against the sky and the water by the beach, harkens back to how he he is framed when he dies at the end of ROGUE ONE.
Loved seeing Saw, the Alien pirates were really cool too, as well as the anti tractor beam flechettes
I was pleasantly surprised, after the Rolykits in earlier episodes, to recognize another tool I use regularly in the safe; a vintage Boby trolley, designed by Joe Colombo for B-Line
The ships that Saw Guerrera have are not Z-95 Headhunters, they are X-Wings because the wings can separate. 😉
Love Andor. So well written. Note at the moment Luthen wants to have andor killed and the empire wants to catch him. It’s funny how both prison escapees separate and end up in rebel one. 😢
I think it's interesting that Vel hasn't told Mon that she was part of the heist o Aldani. I suspect Vel will be pissed at Luthen for not giving Mon some of the money to help her out of her situation.
Cass looking out at a lit up horizon, trying to process his mother's passing, clearly contemplating mortality. Great foreshadowing.
you provide the best Andor reviews. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this.
You are great doing this videos, I found and old one were you didn’t have the video store, and I think you have come a long way and the show it’s so much better now (and before it was great to) have anyone notice the Aztec Calendar on the background of the store, it was there for a long time, I’m so intrigued with this, maybe it has to do with Diego who’s Mexican and also producer of the show and like in Wakanda Forever, there is a new strong presence of Mexico
Lynus Monk speaking to Syril thru the "Holocoms telephone" kinda reminds me of that one scene w/ Enda Mode talking to Mr. Incredible with her nose up in the video camera. 😅
That shuttle on the right, next to the almost-millenium falcon is a separatist shuttle. They were used by the CIS in the clone wars and one of them replaced the original Phantom as the new resident shuttle of the Ghost
My Theory:
CINTA IS CASSIAN'S SISTER!!!
Didn't they say that she lost everyone because of the Empire? That thread was too big to leave it hanging. I think they will reveal their connection in the finale.
That scene with Luthen’s ship made me jump and shout when joy when he escape. Then immediately sat and teared up when Andor found out his mother passed. Love this show so much. Not a single lightsaber and it’s still the best Star Wars project second to Rogue One
I love dough! Each time I am blown away by his ability to talk without moving his mouth.
I love the shop shot where they filmed two frames when it could be 1 to illustrate the walls they put up, very astute my friend
i also think there was a nice parallel to the end of this episode and Andor's death in R1, being he is on the beach, staring over the waterline with an orange glow in the sky
I dunno, just a thought i had
So, did Luthen have a lightsaber or did I just imagine they inspected one when he went to talk to Saw?
It's his walking stick from an earlier episode
I can’t believe we got a good and proper look at the Arrestor Class Cruiser!
Luthen escape sequence was amazing.
This episode was pretty good and absolutely awesome.
Love your episode breakdowns, I always find out something new that I didn’t realize when watching the show
Great point on Andor being the artifact many are biding hunting for.
I find these breakdowns very insightful - the analysis of the camerawork, etc, is really interesting. Also LUTHEN'S SHIP!
JUST GIVE THE GILROY TEAM ALL OF STAR WARS!!!!
Every time I turn on a new episode I think it can’t be better than last week and then BAM!!!! The Luther scene was better than a James Bond. He’s so slick!
The move he pulled on Saw, both physically and mentally. Awesome!
Fuck NO! No real, serious fan would say this. You must be new or really young.
While this show is good, Gilroy would turn everything into some shit scifi show with next to nothing resembling Star Wars.
His first three episodes look nothing like Star Wars. It's not until he hands the writing over to people who actually care before it even started looking and sounding like Star Wars.
Maybe and only if he took a back seat in the writing and just finessed the script, allowing people familiar with Star Wars tell the story.
The ships outside SAW's base are T-65 X-Wings with the S-foils closed. Same ship as the one Luke flew at Yavin, but painted black and white in the Cavern Angels' colors. The clip you show at 14:46 in your video shows the four lasers. Twice as many as there are on the Z-95.
Yes, it's not the first time he has tried to claim them as Z-95's. He spends too much time trying to give the impression he is knowledgeable in everything Star Wars and not enough time getting it right.
The second schematic in the bar is a Sheathipede-class transport shuttle used by Separatists, first seen in the Phantom Menace and then seen multiple times in the Clone Wars. I only know this because of the lego set lol
There's good reviews of this series but then there's a review from people that love this series. You all hit on the strongest points of the episode. Thank you!
This was a really good episose. I hope the finale can top the Aldhani heist and even the prison break arc. So far this series has been quite fun. Just as good as mandalorian for different reasons. Just my opinion.
I bet the next episode will be more as "to be continued...."
For the season 2
Andor is a mature sci fi/political thriller set in a growing dystopia. Mandalorian is a fun, upbeat sci fi/adventure serial set in a former dystopia. Both have the OT’s heart and tone despite all three being very different from one another. Both shows are great in their own realms.
@@bubbachomp4674 perfectly said. I see people choosing one or the other but both are great in their own ways. Star Wars In their own ways. It’s like a buffet and I want more!
I'm pretty sure Luthen was a Jedi and an ace pilot. When the guard is searching him before he meets with Saw, it looks like a double edged lightsaber....he also had lightsabers/lasers coming out the side of his ship which was awesome.
I thought he used that weapon earlier and it was a sword
@@Collect2Disconnect he may have but I missed it lol. I'll have to rewatch but in one episode he has a white walking stick but I think this is something different.... May be a sword
The ships infront of Saul´s hideout are defnetly X-wings, and not Z-95´s. they have 4 engines and not 2
15:25 Jedi mind tricks **within** Jedi mind tricks, without any apparent use of the Force; as Luthen bluffs Saw he draws Benthic / Two Tubes in close to take his pistol, reinforcing Saw's attention at gun point, Luthen further makes his case and wins his argument. Echoes Luke's telekinetic blaster grab in RotJ. Just. Genius.
Liked and subscribed.
As always, incredible breakdown !
No mention of Colin Cantwell?? What's up with that?? And the destroyer was even a Cantwell class ship. Colin Cantwell died this May. He isn't as well-known as Rqlph McQuerry, so I was super happy to see him get a name check here. Plus, it is totally fitting to use his designs here because his style harkens back to an earlier period of sci fi. It looks like the artwork on sci fi book covers from the late sixties. Fits well with the brutalist sixties architecture they are using for Curoscant.
I'm loving the violin theme
