Previously on /andor/:

RIP my fruity director.

Because I understand it. Because she's my sister rhydo, and she loves me! That itch, that burn... You feel how badly she wants to explode? Remember this. Remember this moment! This perfect night. You think I'm crazy? Yes, I am. Revolution is not for the sane. Look at us: unloved, hunted, cannon fodder. We'll all be dead before the republic is back and yet... here we are. Where are you, boy? You're here! You're not with Luthen. You're here! You're right here, and you're ready to fight! We're the rhydo, kid. We're the fuel. We're the thing that explodes when there's too much friction in the air. Let it in, boy! That's freedom calling! Let it in! Let it run! Let it run wild!

LET IT IN Anon Babble LET IT INNNNNNNNNNN

bring the bait

No more Andor in a week

Is fucking over lads. I want Gilroy to adapt the Vong invasion

Kleya is an unrealistic depiction of women in media because she is both highly competent and emotionally restrained. Not only is she somewhere on the spectrum, she would fit in here.

make good Star Wars

speed run the episode drop

They hate us because they don’t understand us.

Vong

that's made to be filioni slop

vong

lol
lmao even

I kneel

wot if gilroy tard wrangled filioni

chances of them letting gilroy remaster rogue one?

They should duel

Filioni pulls out lightsaber, swings it around all fancy

Gilroy pulls out a pistol, not even a blaster, just a regular pistol with kinetic ammo

I'm Andor

wonder what happened to him

I want Gilroy to adapt the Vong invasion

Fuck no. Let Gilroy fill the gap between ANH>ESB or ESB>ROTJ instead.

Anon Babble

highly competent and emotionally restrained

muh original trilogy

just leave in the past niggers

Just finished watching, what did I think of BBW 2?

best SW work in 13 years is about the OT

YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO ASK FOR MORE AAAAAAAH

Fuck off

youtube.com/watch?v=x0xvzabfhOY

FTFY

BBW 2

there was another one?

Kleya is Leia and you're not going to convince me otherwise until she's dead on screen

kek

How do you respond without sounding mad?

>Gilroy pulls out a pistol,

I don't really see how Kleya Korgana could be Leia.

Was this the best 3 episode arc of the series?
Every single episode was pure unfiltered kino.

fat

black

actually cute

how the fuck

This was the best 3 episode arc of anything ever

How did he manage to give us so much kino in such little screentime?

is she even black? I thought she looked like a polynesian or something

we need your cum to compete the mission, anon, and I’m going to get it one way or another

mon mothma came to the senate as a child

Where did all the cunny senators go during the Empire?

Narkina 5 or isb tv block

He might actually defend Mon

The real question is why isn’t there an auto turret that shoots miniaturized warp drives in rapid fire that can destroy literally anything instantly?

Or can we finally fucking retcon those three terrible films.

Are senators drafted as children what is this shit? Why is it for life.

They never happened

I never watched TLJ, so it holds no canon over me.

A lot of the core or inner worlds have large noble families(Alderaan and Naboo, for example), so it's basically just an extension of that.
the Republic and the Empire work less like modern democracies and more like the Roman Senate.

This total stranger approaches you and says

“I have friends everywhere“

How do you respond?

Are you part of it?

I have anons everywhere
checked btw

Must be nice

um.. i uh am alone

You don't get to bring friends.

That was a top kino moment for sure. Something so romantic about being an unnamed revolutionary that will never be rembered by history but you still fight.

How nice for you.

Had disney not been on their diversity high horse Cassian would of made a much better protagonist of Rogue One.

I'm convinced Ben Mendelson browses Anon Babble because he gave so much webm material in such a short amount of shots on the show.

Why didn't Luthen think of having Cassian record the Ghorman Massacre and then have Mothma present it in front of the Senate, so that she could have proof to her words, instead of essentially calling Sheev a lying liar with nothing to back it up?
youtube.com/watch?v=z4YqnsPMpcw

That would be highly retarded. The Princess of a planet like Alderran who is also supposed to be working with the Senate as well and going on public "mercy missions" moonlights at a Art Gallery? No it would be very stupid.

Do you think they were happy during those 3 years?

I don't think that was necessary, everyone already knew what happened, they were just too afraid to ask questions.

I wouldn't be happy being kept in the dark

Spice mines of Kessel. He lasted 4 rotations.

Cyril was also fucking that Gomran girl that killed by the robot

Voluntarily blow my own head with a blaster. Owari da.

Her ass is super huge and not in a sexy kinda way.

Yeah Tony keeps cockteasing us with little details like this and I thought they were going to do a whole Syril goes native or whistleblower because he fell in love with a true believer who opened his eyes. That got cut short I guess. It definitely seemed mildly implied.

but you wouldn't know

disagree

Just tell me if you want to suck my dick, faggot. No need to be cryptic.

I think I'd notice when she turns off the lights

Why didn't Luthen think of having Cassian record the Ghorman Massacre and then have Mothma present it in front of the Senate, so that she could have proof to her words, instead of essentially calling Sheev a lying liar with nothing to back it up?

Did you missed conversation between Luthen and Cassian after visiting Ghorman and Mothma dialogue with Oran in episode 7?
Everybody knows and none cares. The Senate barely had quorum. It wasn't about revealing the truth, but calling out Palpatine and challenging him in a same place where:
1) He removed last obstacle to Chancelorship in TPM
2) Legalised Clone Army in ATOC
3) Declared creation of Empire and defeated grandmaster of Jedi Order in ROS

Realistically if Andor has a strong finish where does Disney go from here? Do they keep churning out slop or do they use this as a springboard to reinvent the Star Wars brand to take the grittier route fans wanted all along.

i have dicks everywhere

We have to extrapolate so much this season. Wish they had done at least 3 seasons.

Can't wait to watch all 3 episodes and Rogue One in one sitting next week.

yeah it's very much a Rome S2 issue

Husband status?

Kennedy won't do anything good

Isn't she supposed to retire soon?

KX-series security droid

Andor :: Armoured against blasters

Rouge One :: destroyed by one blaster shot to chest.

Another fuck up like imperial kinder blocks, Saw appearance etc etc

Kennedy is on her way out and will be in an 'advisory' capacity. Which makes me think its just Disney obscuring her involvement so they have a new CEO scapegoat and can say "Look its not just Kennedys fault we tried guys!" That still does not explain how Gilroy got complete creative control of one whole show. Boggles my mind to this day. Dude either must be squeaky clean or have some dirt of his own to use.

Is ghorman mentioned in star wars rebels?

lots

I hope so, get more people with the same passion doing nitty gritty stories

Not that I'm aware. Rebels takes place over the same timeline as Andor apparently 5 BBY to 1 BBY

Who are you?

Why did he ask that question? Why does it matter to him? Maybe it's just a civilian-disguided ISB agent.

Kennedy won't do anything good

She is personally responsible for Andor existing

The 1st season is very likely a Deadpool situation where none of the big execs gave a fuck about the Cassian Andor show because they were all focused on the Mandoverse shows.
While obviously Andor was not a smash hit it was a critical darling beloved by basically everyone who actually watched it and Disney/Lucasarts execs are at least competent enough to understand that Disney Wars has a bad reputation for low quality so when they get something as beloved as Andor they just let Gilroy cook to try and bring back goodwill from fans.
Also most of them are probably still focuses on Filoni's Mandoverse garbage which is what brings in the big numbers.

In the episode featuring Mon Mothma escape to Yavin, it does, but I'm not sure they talk about ti anywhere else.
The show was very focused on Lothal

can't wait to shit on the mando movie

so can we agree that season 2 was absolutely a missed opportunity with so much time wasted on dumb shit with most side plots just dragging on? literally the best thing of the series is a mention that Tarkin landed his ship on and squashed lame space protestors. Everything else was so slow and BORING

Mandoverse garbage which is what brings in the big numbers.

Did Asoka and Skeleton Crew have any success in viewer numbers?

Ahsoka did for sure, I have no idea about Skeleton Crew but I seriously doubt it.

parkin' with Tarkin

Anon, marvelslop may be more up your alley if you can't handle a political thriller

Ahsoka had a huge start, but final viewers was on pair with Andor

all this kino

only for the new republic to be destroyed 30 years later by an emo sith and ginger

Disney needs to retcon the ST now. Admit the mistake, make the ST legends, and move on.

i enjoy the political thriller, the family wedding arch and surrounding drama that adds nothing took away too much valuable time

I cannot wait for next week where it is revealed Cassian Andor's real name is Many Bothans.

The Ghorman guy with the beard looks like Titus from Spess Mahreen 2

lonni motherfuckin jung
don't reply to me

If they went back and re-made or re-cut or re-shot Rogue One, even now years later, I bet it would be a hit

I'll agree with you that it was clear Tony was put into a corner with having to cover years worth of time in one 12 episode season it seems like multiple plotlines that were meant to be more fleshed out got dropped but the quality is still there.

Perrin

Cinta

Syril possibly turning on the Empire

Lonnie inside the ISB

Saw as the rebel extremist

Tay Kolma being written off extremely quickly

The only plotline I have outright hated was the Maya Pei I genuinely think that first story arc had execs meddling in it because the tone of the show drastically shifted after it.

I've come to realize that one of the things that make this series enjoyable for me is how much it has relegated the jedi and the force to the backseat
Andor may have ruined star wars for me

Hey NERDS! Need some help. What is Krennic's place in the imperial hierarchy? He wears white but does not appear to be ISB?

Why do people confuse this? In RotJ, Mon Mothma is talking about where DSII is, and that the Emperor will be there. Why would they need to steal more plans? Hell, they already had plans and could've built their own.

Marva didn't liked Force healers

Andor was raised by Kreia?

have any bothans shown up since disney bought it
i remember there was a high ranking one in the eu new republic books

The Rebels stuck in the wilderness were just filler to have Andor out of reach of his enemies and allie,s while the other plots played out it didn't exist for any other reason.

Thats what I've tried to explain to people. People focus on the Lightsabers and spacebattles but you can have all of that without the Star Wars brand. A brand can't survive on spectacle alone and thats why Andor is so beloved.

Fruity Bureau

marva understood snacks

He's a Director. Think of him as a Moff but for a Project rather than a system.

Is Syril the most misunderstood character in Anon Babble?

Didn't he mention studying some battle at the ISB academy during the scene where Kleya is trying to remove the listening device?

Knew i smelled bussy juice

woops i thought it was only 9 episodes lol. i was mad at how i thought it ended. brainlet here

That still does not explain how Gilroy got complete creative control of one whole show. Boggles my mind to this day.

It's not that surprising.
Disney was focused on Rey and the ST, probably about what they were going to do after these shitty movies too.
During this time, they wanted content for Disney+ so they launched many projects at the same time and weren't able to control everything.
It's why we got Mando S1, when they saw the success they started to promote other shows with it in S2 and turn it to shit with S3.
For Andor, it was around COVID, it was made far away from them, so it was not to possible for them to act like control freaks and influence anything, by the time of the release and all the shit they released since then, they probably thought it was important to let Gilroy cook since S1 was their only critical success.

RIP King
I miss him so much

Forest Whitaker standalone series when. He took a random side character from a cartoon and made him into the most kino terrorist depiction in media. Even the Saw scenes in rebels are kino.

No his motives are much more understandable than Skylers. Its only about Season 3 of BB that Skyler gets uber levels of insufferable. You only start to see she is the correct one once Walt goes off the deep end poisoning kids

F

so can we agree that season 2 was absolutely a missed opportunity with so much time wasted on dumb shit

No.

Mando S2 was written and shot before S1 was released. Making it a spinoff ad galore was plan from the start, not a reaction from disney higherups.

Gilroy needs to make Rogue 2 and then continue a Thrawn series that is exactly in the style of Andor. (Ahsoka is STRICTLY prohibited)

They are actually talking about the Force in the last ep, but it's in the same way as ANH

Did they fix his head at the emps palp surgical reconstruction center for an open casket?

Bunnyfu is TOO OLD

No. He's a stereotype jewish mommy's boy.

Exploited useful idiot that is lawful good?

He just wanted to do the right thing.

;_;7

Probably, but S3 was clearly impacted by the success of S1&2

The force not being common and being rare and viewed as charlatan magic at best in Star Wars should be the fucking norm

"I name the Emperor himself for ordering the brutal attacks on the people of Ghorman. Their peaceful world is one of countless systems helpless against his oppressive rule. This massacre is proof that our self-appointed Emperor is little more than a lying executioner, imposing his tyranny under the pretense of security. We cannot allow this evil to stand."

I don't believe this at all I'm gonna need some documents to back this up because that seems highly suspect

"what have you sacrificed?"

".....Calm. Kindness. Kinship. Love. I've given up all chance at inner peace. I've made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there's only one conclusion, I'm damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, 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 and by the time I looked down there was no longer any ground beneath my feet. What is my sacrifice? I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else's future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see. And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude. So what do I sacrifice? Everything! You'll stay with me, Lonni. I need all the heroes I can get."

You know they won't do that. Filoni is going to do Thrawn, film it all on that shit set kenobi was filmed on, and reference at least 20 characters from the OT/cartoons.

That still does not explain how Gilroy got complete creative control of one whole show. Boggles my mind to this day.

You're not gonna like this, but is actually all thanks to Kennedy. Kennedy is the wrong scapegoat at Lucasfilm for the fans actually
I know you like to blame everything on her but she's actually the one that ensures creative freedom of the directors and prevent as much Disney meddling as possible. It's just the directors that Disney picks are extremely shit

So like young Saw and younger Jyn having guerilla war fun?

Or something with Saw surviving the Death Star blast?

It really needs to be Whitaker, and he's older now that he was a few years ago.

Not sure, the Jedi council wasn't in power that long ago, yet 20 years later they talk about the clone wars like it was some legend.

Can someone just fucking kill Filoni?
Dude thinks he got GL's scepter handed to him just because he gave him a fucking cartoon series GL stopped caring about

If Andor showed anything is that good Star Wars(live action at least) needs to be filmed mostly in the UK and mostly use UK actors for supporting and secondary characters

*plopping noises*

First 3 episodes felt kind of like a waste of time but the rest of it has been great.

what have you sacrificed?"

".....Calm. Kindness. Kinship. Love. I've given up all chance at inner peace. I've made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 5 years ago from which there's only one conclusion, I'm damned for what I do.

And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude. So what do I sacrifice? Everything! You'll stay with me, Melshi. I need all the heroes I can get."

Why the fuck is this not getting a third season but we'll get endless Ahsoka and Mandalorian?
They could've easily got another 2 seasons out this show.

Would honestly be funny

Nonsense, George had no problem sustaining the brand on spectacle and space wizards. Disney just fucking sucks at it so bad that people are desperate for reprieve.

youtube.com/watch?v=fYakBQ3ggV4

Thrawn Movie

Will suck

Mando Movie

Will suck, should of stopped after S2 and relegated him to a cameo

Rey Movie

Assuming this will even happen its probably going to suck but actually has the most potential if they actually let Rey be a real character and explore her being tempted by her evil bloodline

Outside of those I don't think Lucasfilms has really anything else on the Horizon. Seems the rumors about that internal panic is somewhat true considering they have shifted to being much quieter.

the fondor better do some cool shit
need saw's terrorist cell blowing shit up, he's still an outsider to the rebellion over all

Whos dey?

bravo Gilroy

ew.com/andor-creator-reveals-scrapped-k2so-horror-movie-episode-11728167

So im not a Star Wars nerd, can somebody explain to me what these characters are doing during the time of andor?

palpatine

darth Vader

Leia Organa

Luke Skywalker

obi wan

yoda

han solo

Where the fuck are they at?

Lucas was good at diversifying what type of contact fans got, it is why the prequel has so many games related to them, but Disney have maybe produced 9 games overall during their entire ownership of Star Wars.

My main issue with S2 is episodes 1-3. 7-9 are by far the best episodes in season, has suspense and moves (both the season as a whole and individual characters) forward - my only critique is it seems like it should have been Vel with Andor on Ghorman rather than Wilmon given Wilmon in 4-6. 4-6 are required as set-up for 7-9, although I feel like they are rushed in certain parts. As for 1-3, the only thing that adds anything substantive - Brasso's death should, but more on that later - and works as a season throughline is the Imperial meeting regarding Ghorman. The rest of it was either irrelevant (the TIE heist); dragged-out despite the endgame being clear (Andor on Yavin IV, everything to do with the wedding); told us something we already knew (Mon struggles how deep she is in the Rebellion / does not fully grasp what it entails, Luthen is ruthless); could have been done off-screen between the events of S1-2 (Mon's daughter being married); or due to the time-skip means we do not get to see meaningful impact of it upon the characters (Brasso's death). A reworked 1-3 would have allowed a less rushed 4-6. If the show still wants to do the wedding and Tay storyline as it feels a need to give Mon something and the production thinks it does not have the time to do Mon in Senate or Mon working with Bail regarding the rebellion, then the Mon storyline we got in 1-3 could be both condensed down and spread-out between 1-3.

WE'S DEY!

The creator got burned out making such kino.

he's older now that he was a few years ago

I'm glad you're here to tell us important stuff like this.

Why the fuck is this not getting a third season but we'll get endless Ahsoka and Mandalorian?

Because Ahsoka and Mandalorian are Star Wars MCU

JUST MAKE A THIRD FUCKING SEASON FUUUCKKKKKINNGGG DISNEY

Anon, it is largely people shitposting rather than being serious.

There is that Ryan Gosling Starfighter film, which is starting filming, I think in September and that James Mangold Dawn of the Jedi film.

stone & sky

Well at this point in Andor we are one year before the Events of New Hope so imagine basically what every character is doing at the start of New Hope but just one year before.

Neat how they used the same bird samples from Return of the Jedi.

You think that would fix anything? You'd just get more Acolyte and Kenobi then. The sickness is Disney itself.

Do you always require being spoonfed?

Jon Favreau Says He’s Already Writing and Pre-Shooting 'The Mandalorian' Season 2

Published Jul 12, 2019

Season 1 Episode 1, Realease date: Nov 12, 2019

Takes 5 seconds to look it up.

Just finished this season and apart from a few moments it was shit

Now that the bar has been set real high with Andor, combined with the constant mockery by youtubers with millions of views who mock them relentlessly, nobody is going to watch that kind of mediocre slop except random oblivious normies.

The show would've lost it if they stretched it out. It's easy to say that this season is screwed up because they had to compress it down, but I think the reality is that S1 was lightning in a bottle.

Vader not being at the Ghorman Massacre does seem a bit weird but I get that they don't want to overshadow the events with a cameo
Tarkin never showing up at any ISB meetings is the most jarring one honestly and I assume it's just because they don't want to recast him or waste millions on bad CGI

Syril bros... Its over...

Shit, is today not 13th May? Need to fix my time machine

neither of those seem weird

Before things were being dated of BBY and ABY does the setting have a known calendar? Like in the events of TPM what galactic year would the the majority of people in-universe say it was.

I don't even know who you are.

GL stopped caring about

It's amusing seeing people like you making stuff up to justify your internal cope and denial. Literally his passion project that he bankrolled out of his own pocket and spent years making since 2005 all the way up until he sold the company, but sure, buddy. He "stopped caring", lmao.

youtube.com/watch?v=dTYc9kpg2kE

I have friends everywhere

Who was the guy supposed to be that raised his hand when GoT waif asked about whose gun/blaster it was and why did she even ask it?

agree but i'll go further and say 1-3 are all giant wastes of valuable screen time.

If they didn't have CGI deepfakes available they'd definitely have just recast him already. That's what they should do now anyway.

The news out of that Ryan Gosling one is so sparse but it looks like they want to have it take place after episode 9 which seems pretty stupid.

Acting retarded doesn't mean they aren't actually retarded as well.

Why didn't they just have robots build the parts like they did the space station? They wouldn't have had to build a prison, food, medical, guards and could divert those costs and resources towards robots.

Name 10 and where they are.

Don’t think it’s ever been mentioned but I imagine in the republic it was something 990 post-founding/reformation by that time

So Dedra is clearly going to get CHOKED by Vader during some point in the last 3 episodes, right?

Melshe he was the other survivor of the Prison arc from s1

Tarkin isn't ISB and has a sector to run, he gets his briefing every morning and doesn't need anyone else.

melshi
fellow narkina-5 death star work inmate

Vader physically holds her in place while Palpatine punches her in the gut
no force powers

Vader found out she likes being choked so he'll just stab her with his lightsaber instead

In love with Mon Mothma bros
She’s so perfect it’s unreal

It was never about efficiency. It was about working lower class lifeforms to death via hard labor.

Theres no real reason for Vader to be at Ghorman.
Tarkin is a Grand Moff and basically the 2nd in command of The Empire so theres no reason he'd bother taking part in ISB meetings. He deals directly with Qyburn and Qyburn passes along Tarkins directives to the rest of ISB leadership.

why do you ask

It takes place five years after RotS
It was inevitable that we would start getting some content post sequels, I think they also just announced a book set after as well

Why did Syril even care about Ghorman, last season he only cared about Dedra and ending rebel scum

one hour mon mothma dancing niamos club remix

Dedra did absolutely nothing wrong (from the Empire's perspective) her plan was a success
what happened on Ghorman was what the Empire wanted to happen. if anything she's up for a promotion.

Mon Mothma speech was so underwhelming

Then why not give the workers a living wage so they would be more willing to work for the je...err...the "empire" so they could afford a home and a family? Its like "they" are so evil and greedy "they" cannot resist and its like a cartoon clown car it leads to incompetence?

hes fucking Dedra and she dragged him into it

he wants to help

he believes Ghorman is a rebel hellhole that needs to be saved from itself

The Goose Starfighter movie, just like the Rey (kek) movie will never be made.
I bet Gosling did something nasty and now Disney has him by the balls and they're having him promote their fake projects to soothe the investors.

The events of Andor happened because he couldn't let go that a bunch of shitty power drunk rent-a-cops getting got. He's lawful good to a fault.

Ghorman Massacre 1 aka Tarkin Massacre

he parked his space car on top of 500 frogs

only took 10 seconds

no casualties on the empires side

Ghorman Massacre 2 aka Krennic Massacre

took 3 years lmao

multiple deaths on the empires side

lost a KX droid to the r*bels

based Parkin Tarkin wins again! that loser Krennic can never one up /our guy/ Tarkin

I think believes Syril choking her was foreshadowing

I call you a liar. You keep saying you have friends but, no one else knows or sees them. Same with your supposed girlfriend, where is she? When asked where she is you tear-up and mumble something like 'She is away finding herself'.

Syril's 3 spiders will be worth a fuckton of dataris. Hope he had a will.

The Starfighter movie is the most likely to get released since they are into full pre-production on that film.

It's more like the Jedi Council are like the College of Cardinals: unless you're a Jedi follower, what the fuck does the average being know about the Jedi Council, their role in the Galaxy, etc? From Episode 1 it just seems like they get called out for special assignments by the Chancellor but are otherwise fairly isolated and unworldly, even in the case of a radical like Qui-Gon Jinn. And you saw in that film how much weaker the Jedi were compared to the Jedi of the Golden Age comics that were around at the time.

So maybe people just hear about a Jedi showing up at an interstellar conference as the Chancellor's representative, or maybe a Jedi did something like bust a crime ring. It would all be mundane stuff that you'd think any Senator or police officer could do, and if someone looked it up on Galactipedia they'd get an article about how these "jeedai" are Force worshippers of some kind who also have lightsabers and that's all people like Han would know. Maybe bounty hunters would know more since they'd be hunting them down for the Empire, but there's no reason for anyone in the Old Republic to be paying attention to the Jedi and their beliefs unless there's a newsworthy event like the conclave going on now.

The timeskips have been totally fucking up this season. All the good moments have been things that largely stand on their own. Syril is possibly the only character that benefited from the timeskips, while the rest got fucked by big character developments happening offscreen or impactful moments getting defused by passage of time.

He wanted to help and believed the empire was the best way to help. He was there for years and assimilated a bit with the locals too. Only at the end, did he realize he was mistaken.

That was Melshi, the guy who escaped Narkina V with Cassian. As to why she asked, I don't know. I thought that was weird as fuck. Maybe she recognized the blaster because Cassian had it on Aldhani, but that's retarded. It's a mass-produced firearm. Best I can figure is that it was filthy and she was about to lecture the owner about keeping their blaster clean and in good working condition. 'Twas a weird scene in an otherwise well written show.

It's never bugged me before that Star Wars doesn't have a lot of blood but man was it distracting during the massacre. Especially people being blown up or thrown against the wall being bloodless.

Revenge of the Sith or The Rise of Skywalker?

What the actual shit

Tarkin is the Grand Moff and wouldn't be meddling in ISB affairs unless the Emperor told him too. Since Krennic was in control of the Death Star prior to the events of ANH it would be logical Krennic would need ISB resources not Tarkin who by this point in time is just kinda dicking around doing odd jobs for the emperor.

third sequal film

Because Andor has literally nothing to add to Star Wars that hasn't already been done a dozen times over in EU and NuCanon material. Mandalorian has just been retooled because it was the one unabashed success of the NuCanon and so they are clinging to it like a drowning man grasping a corpse. Ahsoka is because Filoni has to prove he can be a good steward of the franchise and is desperate to redeem his content.

Gilroy outright stated Vader and Palpatine will not appear.

I would assume blaster heat would immediately cauterize flesh

So was Dedra a dom or a sub in the bedroom?

missing the point that the Empire wanted casualties this time

She basically had nothing to do most of the season other than being Andor's girlfriend, which is fine if so much melodrama wasn't spent on it.
First 3 eps I was invested in her though, that was all fine.

oh word?

Bold strategy, let's see how it works out for them.

Torture by the sound dying aliens is not good for your mental health
Remember, she was basically fully cationic for the last four episodes of the first season.

It takes a while before blood comes out. Just yesterday we watched this amazing police chase and the crook was ejected from his car and got his legs cut off. He only started bleeding a minute later.

If you are not dyslexic then you are retarded

Syril buys into the idea that the Empire is just and there to provide security, order etc. Go back to S1 and his entire hunt for Andor is down to what he sees as injustice and corruption in not doing anything about the deaths of the two cops Andor killed. He is on Ghorman specifically due to thinking he is trying to supress sedition. Syril had no idea that the ISB was stroking the flames that pushed more and more people into rebellion, all to orchestra a false flag operation to mine the planet. His view of the Empire was shattered, made worse by how the woman he loved used him.

And Syril who was going to rule the galaxy got only a little patch of Ghorman that he could call his own

Robots are expensive to create and maintain. Ideally you only want to use them for jobs you can't have humans feasibly do.

She's a power bottom. Syril is a stealth twink versatile.

The way they kissed like 1st graders made me think they don't have any sex at all and are still exploring their genetils.

Clearly a dom, she was not really liking the choking

they fired the actor when they realized he was ad libbing

I want Gilroy to adapt the Vong invasion

NOooooOO DON'T KILL ME I NEED TO PREPARE THE EMPIRE FOR THE YUUZHAN VONG INVASION -ack!

90% of the Empire casualties were team kills.

Not having Palpatine appear and deliver some speeches in the Senate has felt like a massive wasted opportunity. It was a golden opportunity to show his capabilities as a politician.

It follows the life arc of the writer.

Power bottom or switch.

HOLY SHIT GUYS FINALE LEAKED

It's wild that redditbros love quoting the "when objective reality is lost, evil wins" part and how it is "so timely" are the same people who love telling everyone that men can have babies. Zero self-awareness.

This makes sense

All she did this season was screaming rape and getting fucked by Cassian offscreen after his every mission.

jej
he mellowed out pretty well this season, he was a turbocunt in s1

I always empathized with him

Wait. There are 2 Ghorman Massacres now?

Palpatine is probably the worst part in all of Gilroy's gritty and real Star Wars. Imagine trump getting hit by lightning and all of a sudden he wears all black, hides his face under a hood, renames the States into the Empire and everyone just shrugs and moves on?

There have been for over a decade because of inconsistent EU. Andor is just fixing the canon.

Truly is the biggest downgrade together with andor himself.
If it wasn't for the absolute KINO that Luthen, Mothma, Dedra and Cyril are, this season would've been beyond shit

kek

Syril was monstrously obsessed with finding Andor, who he thought was part of the outside agitators.

You need to believe in yourself more, anon

I feel like a lot of people basically just see it as their leader is in a wheelchair now.

to justify your internal cope and denial.

About what? TCW is shit, whenever it tried to be something more than cartoon for children. Rebels are shit. Mandalorian went from tolerable procedural show to shit in one season. Ahsoka is shit.

I like it and it does fit the timeline pretty well. We're closing in on ANH where Palpatine dissolves the senate so at this point he just can't even be assed to fake interest in them anymore. The Death Star is basically finished by this point in the timeline as well so fuck it let the senators bitch and moan to eachother ole Sheevs got a fucking murder planet under his belt.

Ghormons have been kicked out of 109 galaxies.

I liked how Dedra's boss got promoted while she stayed stuck on Ghorman for years away from all the action. Felt very Imperial.

Turns out YOU are the dyslexic retarded one. Anon wrote RotS. The correct answer is TRoS.

heert does mention the rest of the supervisors think that ghorman is a make work project after the shitshow on ferrix

Empire propaganda

IGNORE

Honestly seems pointless to go through all the effort when they control the media so tightly anyway. The masses are just going to believe what you tell them and the dissent isn't going to believe the propaganda anyway. You could've just blown up a transport shuttle and said it was full of bright-eyed young cadets, then the Emperor could shuffle out and make a speech about how the Rebels are killing our brightest youths in their reckless quest to oppose the peace and order of the Empire and so we need to usher in a new era of security and prosperity, etc etc.

Then is dyslexic and I am retarded

nta but the original poster, but I am dyslexic retard so me conflating RotS vs TRoS is my fault

"are you, are you wearing droidcloth?"

Glad I won't be hearing much snark like that anymore with Ghorman gone

They literally talk about the Emperor delivering a big speech in S1. They just never show it.

And he talked to her like a kid. Calm Dedra! Be a good girl now hush
The audience probably thought oh wow this Dedra lass is real leader material, and the empire saw her what she really was. Just a tool

Even in the oldest lore, Palpatine pretty much only showed up to the senate when he wanted to, which was almost never.

He barely survived an assassination attempt by traitorous Jedi. Those scars are a badge of honor.

Its better to cover all basis in manufacturing consent of such a vast galactic state

but even partagaz tells dedra ghorman is a gift
palps is just mad slow in promoting her

why didn't Krennic just go full corpo with the Ghormans? find a greedy jew that is on the mining industry on ghormland and have them you know mine the stuff?

Only 800,000 Ghorman, yet they run the entire Imperial fashion industry...... hmm.......

I'm sorry, I actually meant to refer to neither rise of skywalker, or revenge of the sith, I was trying to abbreviate Return of the Jedi

And that was over 2 years ago in universe, hes dropped the act by this point.

We are all retarded

it's gouge mining anon

The mining is going to destroy the whole planet. Wouldn't matter who on the planet got the rights or the contract to mine it, everyone else on the planet would go all in to stop it. So they decided to turn the heat up on the Ghorman rebellion at just the right rate of speed to get the mining started while the Ghor and the galactic audience were focused somewhere else.

Takes too long, too much bureaucracy. The minerals they need for Ghorman are for the Death Star and Krennic and Sheev want them yesterday. Leech mining the planet is the quicket way to do that and no Corporation would agree to that since they said the planets integrity would be compromised.

Don't forget dyslexic as well

makes sense because it seems like nobody even knows about Vader. they aren't afraid enough. they don't know Palpatine is a sith lord...they don't know that they are at risk of being obliviated by Vader. it is kind of strange not a mention of the most infamous warrior in the galaxy yet...will they at least allude to it? or was Vader's reveal to the rebels only at the end of Rogue One?

Nah only is dyslexic

rebelion because deep down I'm a filthy liberal, but you bet your ass I'd defect with a sick ass Tie Fighter.

who are you?

Did weak force healers also have to report their abilities and undergo training as Jedi Knights in the old days? They were probably pretty popular if they were good at their job and could bring people back from the dead.

Ghorman is too political, economically, and culturally influential. That is why they have to go through the effort of the PR campaign and the false flag. It is chipping away support for Ghorman, as people either turn against them or are see it too controversial to stand-up for Ghorman.

Only Rey can do that because she is all the jedi and a palpatine and a skywalker.

Spectacle requires physical evidence to stick in the public perception. It's the difference between believing the "trusted news source" over the dimestore tabloid rag proclaiming Bat Boy is dating Rihanna. If you have rows of Imperial-stamped caskets and legions of weeping mothers, it's harder to dispute the narrative because there was an actual death toll and real grief and your side were the victims.

I actually like this aspect of the nucanon. In the EU, Vader was everywhere and the supreme commander of the Imperial forces. He got way too much power wank. I like him better as this solitary figure that only those close to the emperor know about. He only shows up when Sheev wants something done personally.

Vader works in the shadow. Only the Jedi council, high member of the empire and palpatine know his existence.

Who cares?
You have a planet destroying super weapon
Who is going to stop you

and could bring people back from the dead.

Did they actually bring anyone back from dead with force healing? I always assuemd it was near death at most

I need to delete this from my memory.

As far as the public is concerned, Palpatine's fucked up appearance is from narrowly avoiding an assassination attempt by the Jedi (which is basically true) and him becoming Emperor was a reassurance that things wouldn't just go right back to the corruption of the Old Republic now that the war was over.

Probably force sensitive people who weren't force sensitive enough to be taken in by the jedi, or were too old when they discovered them.

ngl, i had kind of forgotten he wasn't the protag of Rogue One until you just mentioned it.

Where did the Empire find all those middle aged maniacs like Captain Kaito in just 20 (18) years. Wouldn't that imply that the Grand Army of the Republic was always full of inhumane and crazy assholes?

would

Think about how mothers were in that situation when the Death Star was destroyed.

Turns out Dark Siders are better at that than anyone, ask Ventress.

Well since you're both retards, the correct answer is that Starfighter is 5 years after the sequel trilogy. Which may explain why Oscar Isaac did some event with the cast of Andor the other day. He must need a new house.

Kylo Ren said hi

Then they would have no control on the pushback from Ghormon's

They deviced a way to have a controlled rebellion attack them and legitimize Ghormon takeover with very little political pushback

Palpatine doesn’t give a shit about the senate bro, man got other shit to get on with on Exogol

Yes

Did they actually bring anyone back from dead with force healing?

Palpatine

And even with this tweak to the canon, it still makes sense for him to become super-famous after the events of the OT, so that Leia can have her career derailed over the revelation that she's Vader's daughter.

First he's the only survivor of the Death Star, and then he's all over the place coordinating the search for the rebels who blew up the Death Star.

Palpatine hinted at it too, it wasnt meant to be used by light side as it would be for attachment I guess

The Republic did not just instantly turn into the Empire. Sure you had Palpatine's machinations, but the rot was already there as far back as the time TPM. By the events of ROTS the Republic was in some respects the Empire just without the name.

Read The Lucifer Effect
Doesn't take much for your average dude to become a total psycho

Did his old one burn down?

New thread when?

the ISB shut it down

Yeah. Yularen for example was around since the Clone Wars.

Not too hard to believe, they were probably forged that way by the clone wars and shit

Go away, Star Wars Theory

Some resource for the Death Star was probably gouge mined out of Kenari before the clone wars.

Yeah, always wondered how average Joe Germans could be made to smash babies against the wall. That thin veil of civilization can tear anytime man. We are just animals that are easily riled up

Where did the Third Reich find all those middle aged maniacs like Josef Mengele in just 12 (10) years. Wouldn't that imply that the German Army was always full of inhumane and crazy assholes?

as an organization the Jedi opposed Force Healers because you're not supposed to become attached to life, or your functioning limbs, and just suffer and die

Maybe Sheev had a point

smash babies against the wall

That actually happened ?...

Good point. 20 years is more than enough to alter the Zeitgeist.

bump

The scale we're operating at is too big for that kind of shit to matter. The audience for the propaganda is spread out across an entire fucking galaxy. Show them the burnt out remains of a crashed ship with some charred bodies (in reality some prisoners that we're just claiming are Imperial cadets) and hire some women to play grieving mothers for the camera and you've accomplished the same thing.

WW1 would do that to you

Germans will do anything if you tell them its the rules
Americans will do anything if you tell them its against the rule

The small rebel group in Rebels encounters Vader, and they don't know what to make of him. So he's not a known public figure. He only shows up when Inquisitors encounter Force-users they can't handle.

Force healing is not canon. It's a scam, unironically.

BASED BASED BASED BASED

Listen,
I think the Ghorman massacre was a false flag.
Imperial Snipers were spotted ON THE ROOF and seen shooting their own men
Mining equipment shows up in orbit the day before and suddenly the planet is being mined for "rare ore".
The Empire is lying to you, Joe. They did it.

The clone wars would do that to you

It's canon now, anon

Cassian

downgrade

Fucking LMAO

It's funny that Grogu did a Force heal in the Mandalorian episode that came out two days before Rise of Skywalker did. So Rey's not even the first live-action Force healer.

It's canon. All of it.

I've been force healing since Jedi Knight and Kotor. It was always canon to me.

That one french rebel who start singing to calm the masses down but alas, it's futile.

DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING

Why did he leave him bros? Just up and left him for some big black K2SO instead.

The Jedi Council know about Vader

Well, I guess that's true from a certain point of view, since Yoda and Obi-Wan are the only members of the council to survive long enough to find out about Vader.

Im so tired of looking at blacks and spic in film, they are so ugly and act like if its a modern story about their lives.

Don't worry, the Imperial collaborating family will take him in, wipe his memory, and turn him into a farming droid

A kid who was in the desert beating off two days before.

Come to think of it, where did he leave him?

Cassian's barely done anything this whole season. Even at the massacre, he was mostly just hanging out on the sidelines

in the farmhouse building they were hiding out in

Rey died and Kylo un-deaded her. Then he died.

Diego Luna is a handsome man

[Joe Ro'ghan responds in incomprehensible alien language that Alex the Corellian understands perfectly]

It always matters if you suspect some investigative reporter might fuck up your optics by digging too deep into conspiracy, especially if you're building monuments and rattling off the names and ranks of the deceased for anyone to know.

Don't worry anon, 4ghorm still working nonstop to identify the culprit.

Cassian knows B2 was Maarva's bitch

What I don't get is what happened to casting directors. It's not just that they hire blacks, it's that they've been hiring uglier blacks than they used to. I don't think a dude like Billy Dee Williams could get a job these days. He's not ugly enough.

An interviewer asked him a while back if he'd consider doing another Star War and he said, "maybe if I need a new house or something".

Wait. Her name is not Leia??

Yes, but they were lower in the chain of command than the Jedi, and the Jedi were the good guys who conducted the war honorably and followed their code and made everyone else do the same, and all the soon-to-be Imperial assholes were under their command and couldn't do the shit they would normally do. Once the Jedi were all killed, these guys took over and did the things their way.

Episode 9 felt like a series finale.
What will be covered in the next 3 I wonder...

Looks like his "retired" ISB handler forgot his white suit and blue plaques at home
worst Joe Ro'ghan guest

disney

eu

George said back in the day that Force healing is not a thing, and it was not depicted once in any of his shit.

They put rhydonium in the water to turn people ghey and docile! They did it joe.

Kleya Korgana, it's a different character, anon is just grasping at straws

Baseless and wild conspiracy theories made by Rebel sympathizers. An utter disrespect to the memory of the brave young men who were mercilessly murdered in the Ghorman Shuttle Bombing. You should be fucking ashamed.

George said

It's disney said now. Cope.

death of Luthen
death of Dedra
death of Mothma's hair stylist

Yeah. Now George is a billionaire and the biggest investor of Disney stock. All he thinks about now is race cars and getting sloppy toppy from his wife.

She is too old and too cunning to be Leia around that time.

Is it really baseless if PFC Shitto was listed as having been killed on Mimban in BBY 5 but was seen quite alive at a party on Raxus Prime 10 years later?

But he gave those games and EU material his blessing.

starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Manuel_Both-Hanz

No, he didn't. He didn't even know 99% of it existed. It was merchandise and he let them do pretty much what they wanted as long as it made money and on the condition that none of it was canon to him and was just a parallel universe.

He also said Sheev made up the story about Darth Plagueis to fuck with Anakin. But nerds take all dialog as fact even it's it's coming from an untrustworthy character.

New Thread:

Imperial record keeping is the most thorough in the galaxy. You're reporting is assuredly mistaken. The ISB will likely be interviewing you shortly to ascertain your motives for willfully spreading such blatant misinformation.

Get in here

Indeed. It's especially baffling, since the movie was all but explicit that Palpatine was bullshitting Anakin. He literally made it up, and had no answers. He lied. The only truth is that he once had a Sith Master Darth Plagueis, whom he killed, cause that's what the Sith do. That's about it. Of course, we get a fucking novel 10 years after the fact or something, and some no-name hack writer makes a bunch of dumb shit up.

He knew it existed, he just didn't care to read any of it. I know for sure that someone had to sign off on every detail though, because in a draft of Heir to The Empire, Timothy Zahn originally named the aliens that worship Vader, the Sith. He was told to change that without being told why. Since at that time we knew Vader was the Dark Lord of the Sith, but didn't know what that meant.

Kek explaining Star Wars is the best
youtu.be/oKm4ueVuxpY?si=iFOEIPnZ7xWNJL3J

No, he said that he made it up as in there was nobody called Darth Plagueis, and nobody who could cheat death. It's in the interviews he did for that big wicked expensive red prequels book.
