This is Palmo One.
We are under siege. We're being slaughtered! The imperial murder of Ghorman has begun. There are hundreds of bodies this moment. As I say these words, hundreds of murdered Ghormen lay dead in Palmo Plaza. Thousands more on the streets, more every minute. We're being destroyed!
This is Ghorman reaching for any open channel that can hear me. If you can- if you can hear me, if you believe in truth, if you have any faith left in truth, please, please mark this message and pass it forward!
This is MURDER!
The Empire built this fire. They made this fire and led us to the slaughter. Now they expect us to die without knowing why.
The conspiracy we feared is real! It's here today! Imperial ships are already landing.

HELP US!
Is there no one who can help us?
Is there no one?

if this was 2010 I probably could give a fuck you viral milketeer nigger

Why was that fat French guy on the street being belligerent during the heist?

Can't handle his Pinot noir

i skipped all scenes with biz, the senator chick, the lesbian chicks. it was a good experience
only women worth watching in the show are the imperial chick and her ex-MiL

My brain was confused hearing something that totally sounds like french without being french

hears coward noises

assumes it's french

Damn, how the fuck am I supposed to watch Star Wars after Andor finishes? It's just never-ending Filoni slop bringing back dead clone wars characters and glub shitto references.

Because they needed to kill off the indian girl and the best they could come up with is having some surly guy start some shit. Please understand, they really needed 4 more seasons to build up this moment.

what if andor reincarnates as revan

I know, right?
We need more Skywalker references instead and plot points about how he wanted to kills his student.

You don't

I don't know, how did you watch Star Wars before? Maybe it's time to wake up and realize you can leave the crib and watch some real sci-fi series instead of this dogshit franchise.

SOMEBODY TELL ME WHO THE FUCK UNCLE HARLO IS NOW!!?!

The racist uncle at thanksgiving

real sci-fi series

Name ONE. It's all low budget slop or high budget slop.

HAN SINGULAR ACTIVATE!!!

The Expanse

Already seen it and honestly it's garbage after the conflict between Mars and Earth ends. Amazon is cancer and ruins everything it touches.

"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."

I loved this scene in house of cards, so good

Hyperion by Dan Simmons
Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe
Red Rising by Pierce Brown
The Forever War by Joe Haldeman
The Culture Series by Iain Banks
The Vorkosigan Saga by Lois Mcmaster Bujold.

It's time to outgrow TV and film. Real Sci-fi is only possible in literature.

I enjoyed it but that's old. I love Stargate.

Until a laptop can manufacture 4K HDR OLED 50 fps movies using personal A.I. quantum computers and time limits of 2 hours and budgets are post scarcity.
I am going to make a Dragonlance movie series.

I too love Stargate.

Ok new drinking game...take one shot for every Bothan!

New season of Star Wars Visions, maybe
Skeleton Crew had very few Gulp Shittos in it, but it is also quite childish.

i just realized andor is literally Jean Valjean (a thief), and Syril is literally Javert (a no gray area law and order cop).

Its literally Space Les Miserables

"Linus, apply a male pregnancy reaction emoji to every post in this thread until they know who I am."

"Right away sir, Siril."

Whatever happened to Fat Bastard anyway?

got depressed and drunk like every working class Scotsman

Download the .ePub/PDF file and plug it into a TTS reader with AT&T natural voices (or the new google AI ones in Calibre) and you can turn any book into an audiobook instantly.
3-4 sessions and I'm done with most books.

Bro, why did Syril do it....? Why did he go back out into the crowd!!?!?! What was he thinking!? Did he really want to join the Ghorman protesters or something??

Is he stupid!? Did he really not understand what the Empire was doing??? All that time. All the coded language he used with his team, while he was on the operation. He really just didn't understand any of it did he? He never knew what Linus wanted. Why he appealed to him. He was an actual good guy trying to be a good cop. That honestly believed in his government and his system. It all makes sense now. Syril was just an hinest idiot that had a good heart, but was too stupid to recognize what was ever truely going on.

AHHHHHHHH SYRIL IS JUST A HIMBO!!!

Mosk-reports.jpg - 1280x536, 68.57K

Sloppy writing for some overly dramatic slowmo shots

the subtitles also had his name in there

twink Kenobi is more handsome than twink Anakin.

If anyone mentions The Shrike, The Cult of The Shrike, The planet with The Shrike, or anything about The Fucking Shrike I am going to do a live Syril crash out.

it's crazy that the guy who ain't the biggest SW fan literally made great NEW characters in SW universe that add to the story. When show was announced everyone was like who needs this, nobody cares about this guy. Now tho....
Meanwhile the George's meatriding fanboying padawan Filoni, literally destroyed Thrawn as a character who is one of the most interesting characters in EU. I don't remember if Disney made them canon or not, but Filoni fucked up. Ahsoka S2 will be compared to Andor S2 and most fans will turn on Filoni even more lol

is this /swg/?

the Ghorman massacre reminded me of when Ashli Babbitt got killed by the police...

Honestly, while EU Thrawn is objectively far better, Thrawn isn't even the most mishandled legacy character of the nucanon. That would be Wedge. What they did to Wedge in the books and how the continue to shit on stackpole's legacy is far more egregious.

No that's on Anon Babble

What has Wedge even done in Disney canon?
he got into a relationship with Greg Grunberg's character's Mother, and I can't think what else he has done in Disney Star Wars

Yeah poor Wedge, he didn't deserve it. It's just Thrawn has more overall impact and post Death Star No2 we needed a well-written villain.
Thrawn ties into Disney's shitty sequels and they can't even do him right lol

And then said mother leaves him for her magically returned husband. Then he just fucking disappears and does nothing relevant besides a minor appearance in the squadrons game

Why did you link to a Shill YouTuber's video?

cuz faggots like you can't read for more than 5 miunutes

Agreed but

"the guy"

is Tony Gilroy, he literally made one of the best films of all time.

OK this except you go back and watch everything with Mon Mothma who is actually a Top Five Star Wars character who has great acting and backstory, and her speech is amongst the best ever, and you are good.

twitter latches on to Andor

FASCISM

GILROY IS PWNING FASCISM

I HATE ORANGE CHEETO SO MUCH I TOOK SOCIOLOGY AT SCHOOL FACSISM

Gilroy makes ghorman massacre into a Jan 6th parallel

stuff that definitely all happened

Retard.

What does this shit even imply?

Why do you insist on trying to act like trannies aren't disgusting?

i just realized andor is literally Jean Valjean (a thief), and Syril is literally Javert (a no gray area law and order cop).

Its literally Space Les Miserables

Slowpoke. That was obvious as soon as Syril was introduced in season 1.

You're going to die poor because of your genetics :)

Delusional. I've seen people compare it more to Israel/Palestine conflict than Jan 6

Empire wants something

Provoke marginalized people into revolt

Cry victim

Wipe out as many as possible

Go in and get the land/rock

everything is about current day american politics

resistance is WW2 France

plaza massacre is literally independece of India

I hate americans so much.

at least Andor and Syril both >have sex

lol

Ask film twitter, they'll patch you with the correct take

Yeah Expanse was good too

It's a testament to the writing that they present it as a sci fi atrocity by an evil empire, but then you later realise its actually uncomfortably close to many scenarios in real life.

Wow this guy is a real genius

jeezus ledditors needs to be purged en masse

you don't know that
maybe they turn the light off and masturbate for an hour

You'll stay with me, Lonni. I need all the heroes I can get

It's also the reason why he doesn't shoot Cassian at the end of s1: because he's become another hero for Luthen to believe in.

Beginning to think Lonnie might survive now. Luthen and Kleya are going to die, but they might go without revealing their deepest agent as a final fuck you to the empire - and Lonnie might spend the next 2-3 years still hiding out in the heart of the ISB, with no contact to the rebellion in general, but just quietly fucking things up from within while dodging Partagaz's eternal suspicion.

Eventually he'll retire with a harem of twliek dancers on a resort planet and nobody else will know

Thrawn was always a retarded character. It's a "smart character" written by a retard, who doesn't know what smart actually is. So he is just an omniscient Mary Sue.

hmmmmmm, I look at a piece of art, and can deduce your entire military strategy out of it

Fucking embarrassing dogshit. I guess he can look at Mona Lisa and defeat the humanity? Lmao. EU was always completely braindead crap, with the exception of KOTOR 2.

Oh yeah, we haven't seen proper organized terrorist attacks from the rebelion huh...

you don't sound very smart yourself

I hope this is the result too.
Luthen and Kleya sacrificing themselves to help Lonni and keep his cover intact would be a poetic ending after Luthen's speech to Lonni about sacrificing everything in S1

BREATHE THE SPACE GASOLINE FUMES IN MY BOY. WELCOME TO THE REBELLION.

You really think Kleya Klorgana is going to die?

Kino

You can imagine the phone call:

"Hey, Gilroy? I wanna speech like what Stellan got to deliver in S1 , only you know about Saw's motivations. Gimme a speech like that man."

"Ok, Forrest."

Of the main characters we've seen the only survivors are probably going to be Vel (now an intelligence officer on Yavin), Bix (safe on Alderaan...) and B2EMO (farming like Dewey on Space Kansas planet). This is the SW equivalent on Secret Army - most of them will die, rolled up by the ISB in waves of purges/searches. It's only a matter of seeing what they can do before their time comes.

SAW GOT THAT SUPPLY OF SPACE COPIUM KEK
can somebody make saw pepe :/

stuff that definitely all happened

Are you implying that these stuff doesn't happen in real life?

getting some real French politics vibes from this joint

WHY AREN'T HATERS HATING IT

ignore the fact that people have wanted decent writing (even though season 2 is rushed as hell)

IT MUST BE BECAUSE THE LEAD IS MALE

THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ACTIVATED BY FOX NEWS

how are these mongrels real? are these even first worlders? or is it just third world teenagers desperately trying to participate in modern American metropolitan faggot culture to feel cultured and progressive?

Makes me think of an epic idea for the last ten or fifteen minutes of the show - a montage showing how each of the surviving characters die, including some of them ending up living to an old age.

In particular I'd like to see Bix end up surviving the whole entire thing, she dies after the sequel trilogy. (and she's Starfighter's mom)

Just your typical modern ""progressives""
They are walking caricatures

Won't happen

cultured and progressive

Nothing in this show is progressive. What the fuck are you smoking? Unless you think not wanting to be oppressed is somehow a "progressive" thing.

Gonna have to fit Omega in there somewhere too.

Guaranteed survivors:
B2EMO
Mon Mothma
Vel
Bix
Wilmon?
Lonnie Jung?

Already dead:
Marva
Brasso
Tay Koma
Dr. Ghorst
Cinta
Syril Karn

Definitely deader than flares/known to die later:
Luthen Rael
Kleya Marki
Dedra Meero
Cassian Andor
K2SO
Jyn Erso
Saw Guerra
Wilmon?
Partagaz? (on the Death Star?)

Wilmon 100% dies. He is there to be the guy who does too deep into the cause.

At first I thought he was one of those falseflaggers dependable to do the wrong thing, but now I got nothing

On a scale from The Apprentice to Andor, where does Ahsoka fall?

Posting decade old tweets

I'd say a very low chance of a montage ending.

But Bix surviving is like a 75% shot, and somehow tying into Starfighter maybe like 25% shot.

Yes never forget the 6 nontillion undocumented refugees that were jailed for no reason at all

Okay. We get your point. Simply don't watch Andor then.

A big disappointment of Andor is that the overriding impression I get of Mon Mothma is "neurotic" and "operationally impotent." It seems like all she does is get pushed around and dictated to by Luthen. Then suddenly she gets a Big Speech and is promptly whisked away to Yavin. It's a symptom of a larger problem with this show which is that if you stop and think about it, very little of the mechanics of the ascent of the Rebellion is substantially dealt with. For a show about the politics of revolution, the Rebellion is a rather ethereal entity.

>Already dead:

Kino Loy

very little of the mechanics of the ascent of the Rebellion is substantially dealt with

She was providing the money, they spent her entire fucking arc on this.

why are chuds okay with politics when its not shoehorned and actually well written without blue haired trannies????

they spent her entire fucking arc on this.

they did???

Clearly not as you see plenty of seething in this thread, like here

my nigga Kino is alive ALIVE and we're going to see him again on Tuesday

that's deliberate, she becomes a figurehead because she is already in the political system, brave and willing to make sacrifices but in need of guidance and support. NOT because she's a hyper-competant chess master. her characterization and route to getting involved in the Rebellion make perfect sense, it avoids all the girlboss pitfalls.

Kino lives you fool, he said he's back

"operationally impotent."

honestly I'm not sure what the fuck **Luthen** does to help the Rebellion, less than her as far as I can tell.

I want a kino scene of Kino with Saw desu

Krennic-chan cute

how are these mongrels real?

they never broke the conditioning

are these even first worlders?

unfortunately

He's the one who recruited Lonni. He's the one who set up their safehouses, his antique store is the central communications center of the whole first 14 years of the rebellion.

And what do (You) subsidize?

DPC. Lust & Passion. ICSTOR. Kompas Productions. I've given up all chance at a balanced checkbook. I've made my mind a stockless space. I share my creams with gobs.

I wake up every day to a Patreon I wrote 15 years ago from which there's only one conclusion: I'm doxxed for what I do. My account, my donors, my unwillingness to yield curve, my eagerness to type, they've set me on a path from which there is no money. I yearned to be a subber against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time I looked down there was no longer any pounds beneath my feet.

What is my subsidization? I'm condemned to use the tools of payment processors to defeat (((them))). I burn my dollars for someone else's future. I burn my waif to make a stock rise that I know I'll never see. And the donors that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude.

So what do I subsidize? Everything!

Stellan Skarsgård as Luthen Rael, "Andor"

yes but what does HE do lol
you just described his backstory

What the fuck are you talking about?

Luthen and Kleya have been running the intelligence operations on the capital world. As time has gone on and Mothma/Tay's fundraising/cash funneling operations began to make ground and build the rebellion they've become just a part of the whole rather than the main focus. This and the next episodes are where we get to see the rebels switch from isolated groups of mongs and become the genuine military threat they appeared to be in the original movie. Luthen will get left behind or used up in this changeover, as does Saw's group (because he couldn't make the mental adjustments required to join up)

It should end with the ISB clearing out the Senate after the Emperor abolishes it.

the rebellion is already getting going when Cassian joins. it's not clear what Luthen is up to during most of the timeframe of the actual show, most of his scenes are him showing up to check in with other characters.

They're an accurate rendering of the zeitgeist

the rebellion is already getting going when Cassian joins. it's not clear what Luthen is up to during most of the timeframe of the actual show, most of his scenes are him showing up to check in with other characters.

Because he's the one who coordinated all of that and his function is keeping them in the network are you fucking retarded?

What kind of rebel are you?

Neo-Republican, but Palps was right about the Jedi.

they really need to force Gilroy to steal that movie for himself and make a gilroy cut, maybe even do some reshoots.

I agree they shouldn't have rushed the timeline of s2, but her being characterized as neurotic and with barely any wiggle room makes perfect sense. She's part of the high society, a very visible figure, meaning she's essentially living hostage every waking moment. Recall the scene where she scoffs over her husband complaining about a year's worth of insincerity crammed into three days

the ones in rogue one came out of the factory wrong

Place your bets if Luthen is going to be revealed as a Jedi or not.

the emperor forced the factories to be only on coruscant and the americans didnt know how to build them correctly for some time.

he'll be some church of the force bullshit instead, like the old guy that was introduced then killed at the start of TFA

Luthen gets revealed as always having been an antiques dealer. He is just super-pissed at the Empire as it destroyed some priceless historical artefacts.

Luthen will be revealed to be the son of a distant clone of Sheev

Probably weathered and compromised after years of less-than industry standard maintenance
Imperial grade blasters

he might be a "grey" Jedi that survived undetected only because they lost most of their powers for losing his interest in balance in the aftermath of order 66.

>Rogue one : killed by one blaster shot to chest

He has taken about a dozen fucking hits by the time he goes down

exactly, idk what the guy is smoking. she literally got super drunk at the wedding, trying to "dance her problems away" cuz she is fucking TRAPPED! She knows her days are numbered, the actress showed that perfectly in the dance scenes.
saw just wants that space copium lol. good point tho.
KEK true. maybe that 1-shot blaster was more powerful who knows. too lazy to torrent rogue one and check the difference in blasters.
it won't happen lol.

there was like two other kx droids besides k2 in the movie, on jedha and scarif

Okay? He still got shot several times standing behind that console

Predictions on how Luthen dies?

He pulls a Lightsaber and commits sudoku

attack the droid's weak spot to inflict massive damage

stormtroopers raid his hideout
he's already forever asleep

Human Supremacy Movement. Palpatine is a race traitor for mass importing Wookkers into the Galactic South.

Makes a simple error when making his getaway. Like the Scottish officer in The Great Escape who, despite drilling language discipline into the rest of the escapees during planning, answered the gestapo dudes english question in kind without thinking as he was boarding the train.

Killed by Lonnie

Separatist, the outer rim shall rise again!

he was the janny at the jedi temple, got really mad when he lost his job

the force is female, so it makes sense that she could do it

GODtrooper arrests him for running too fast

stormtrooper blaster, maybe mil spec stuff packs a bigger whallop or some shit

they're also like 2/3rds the size as in the TV show lol

Gilroy forgot

man diego is so young here

Darth Vader gets him.

they come of S/M/L/XL versions

Tonal disparity of an action adventure movie

Its structural integrity was obviously compromised when it got hit by the truck. The rebels probably didn't have the materials to properly patch it up. Maybe they replaced some of the plating with lesser material.

this was for comedic relief you autists

DDD (different droid dude.)

Nah, its chest piece was intact and we see cassian hit it a couple times when it was chasing after him. It was pretty much impervious to blaster shots.
You could still argue that jyn's blaster in R1 is more powerful than cassian's, or that K2 is better armored than the one she kills.

It was cartoon logic, nothing more. Cartoon logic dictated that Jyn could oneshot that droid

Pretty stupid of Disney to kill off all of the characters in its only critically acclaimed show. They can easily spin off a Luthen/Kleya heist show. Or Bix/Mina-Rau+B2EMO show.

Now all we'll have is the filonislop

herc.gif - 498x364, 3.46M

i hate how studios think there needs to be comedic relief in serious movies.

will the remaining 3 (?) episodes show us how Andor learns to have fun again?

we need endless sequels and spinoffs!!!!

you redditor.

Even if they were to do some spin-off it is brave of you to think it would have the same production quality of Andor. Even if the production team was willing, at this point I doubt Disney is going to putup again the money that Andor had.

This , suicide by cop to protect lonnie's cover.

in other news, Filoni said the other day that Assoka season 2 is being to primarily be a huge space battle. I really hate that hes going to be the one to give us a huge space battle.

so what year is 7-9 2 BBY?

so episodes 10-12 are 1 BBY

correct?

They killed Cassian Andor 10 years ago and yet here we are.

yes

Filoni

Never watched any of the cartoons. Didn't watch Ahsoka. What exactly makes Filoni so bad?

Do i have to star wars rebels and rouge one again now ?

Exactly, instead of realizing a decade from now they had a good character, they should do it now before they get too old

same, it was like hearing Simlish

Andor role in rebellion is bigger than luke skywalker now

0. caused PORD to be enacted
1. involved in ghorman acceleration
2. rescued mon motha
3. got plans for death star

refuses to kill off his oc donut steel
was meme'd as the big george replacement and people didn't like that
endless retelling of muh samurai muh wolf cub because of george
always focuses on the kiddie shit side of the franchise us mature adults aren't supposed to like
starting to retcon established disneylore (regardless of your opinion on said lore) despite the big push to keep everything in One Canon since the buyout

Yeah but, think about how many mothers Luke made cry through blowing up the Death Star. Checkmate, Cassian.

Will he star as his OC donut steel character Trapper Wolf™?

rogue one isn't nearly as serious as andor and it belongs to the star wars formula

is this your opinion or did you hear that on youtube

Falls into the MCU's trend of needing everything to be interconnected.
Recurring characters out the ass, special mention to orange buttcheeks.
While everything is about the jedi, the force is just superpowers/space magic, simultaneously omnipresent and meaningless.
Leans too much into the kiddie shit aspect of star wars.
He's like the antithesis of everything that makes andor good.

Jyn should have given a terrible cliche-ridden speech instead, yeah.
In fact just make the whole movie IRA BELL and BUILT ON HOPE.

Introduced time travel to save his waifu's life

Trapper Wolf™

i wish I hadnt just look up that name... how can he be so cringe

checked trips of 3

I'm upset because _I know_ something like this will happen

You're asking to turn them into Shittos and perpetuating the Filoni style. Better to start with new material in another corner of the universe and build something up from the ground again. Would be doubly kino seeing Filoni's memberberry slop get btfod by literal who's yet again

opinion

verifiable things that have happened

anon?

What the fuck am I supposed to watch after Andor is over? All the other SW shit is grey goo.

nothing. he's based and the trannies hate him for no reason.

I'll live and die a Sep. Been telling all you Jedi and Core folks that Palpatine's evil for decades but did you believe me? No. Well, you get what you deserve.

she has to fuck one

Better to start with new material in another corner of the universe

Ah so that means waiting for Disney to make up its mind and actually make a movie already.

no third season in which they bring in the kino man

Droid force user when?

poetic ending after Luthen's speech to Lonni about sacrificing everything in S1

I get where you are coming from but, Luthen seems indifferent to his own life. I sort of think it is more interesting Luthen living and having to deal with everything.

whatever thats suppose to be it aint funny. that fucking voice is grading idk how you can listen to that

Droid force user when?

this could be serious kino if done right

In Canon?
in think Doctor Apthra comic had one but he's kinda odd
old EU had several

watch andor again

Episode 12 is six days BBY

What would be the best character to cast him as?
Maybe one of those career military men who defects from the Empire to the Rebels because his family got caught up in a dumb Sheev/Tarkin scheme, and then has to deal with all the retarded rebel shitflinging while turning the Alliance into a professional fighting force.

I do wonder what the last 3 episodes will contain. I went over all the trailer footage, and we have about 40 seconds of stuff left that hasn't been in the episodes.

Shots of a shuttle and Luthen's ship flying over coruscant.

Dedra confronting someone in Luthen's shop

Kleya pushing a button and crying

Imperial tactical unit moving into the Luthen safe house

Melshi being shot at

K2SO hitting one of the tactical unit guys

Shot of a mercury like liquid pouring over Luthen's radio table

Krennic being ominous and death star being spoken about

Cassian, K2SO and Melshi in a spaceship going to hyperspace

All I really want is for Saw to do something. Anything. They hyped him up in season 1 and parts of season 2, and other materials say that he has done evil things and isn't welcome in the rebel alliance. And yet he hasn't done anything besides steal and huff some gas. He needs to fuck some shit up before the show wraps.

Is he going to be in any of the last 3 episodes or did he just show up to huff galaxy gas then leave?

kavanaugh.jpg - 1334x750, 50.53K

As others have said, he relies too much on "inter-connectivity" and nostalgia. He rides on the coat tails of things created by his mentor Lucas - The Clone Wars in particular, and got seriously attached to some things, and refuses to recognize when it is time to put certain stories and characters to rest, instead having them go on forever and ever, when they no longer serve organic purpose to the narrative and their stories and character arcs just stagnate and are no longer potent. Case in point: Ahsoka most prominent, or more recently Ventress. He once said, sometime when "Rebels" was ending, that he doesn't like when the stories end definitely. He likes when everyone lives happily ever after, and the heroes ride into sunset for another adventure, a la Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Stories ending and having boundaries is a good thing. Andor and Clone Wars had that: definitive ending points, being Rogue One and ROTS.

He also has become incredibly formulaic, and he is not a very good screenwriter - his dialogue is pretty bad and plotting is weak. Which isn't surprising, since he hadn't written a single script on the original run of "Clone Wars", and even on "Rebels", he wrote only a few episodes. And now, on "Ahsoka" show specifically, he is adamant on writing everything alone. And the result is showing. He doesn't even have a writers room anymore. Which is really weird.

Then there is a problem of him inserting his particular interests into his works, which makes it feel like a fanfic. His affection for wolves being the most cringe and prominent, or forcing Lord of the Rings shit everywhere.

I'd say he is a competent soldier, who can run day-to-day productions on a tight schedule and deliver, when he is being told what to do by an actual creative - which was the case on "The Clone Wars", when he worked strictly under Lucas. But it is clear that he is not a creative himself.

He's a Pittsburgh Penguins fan

As the isb raid wherever he is hiding, he just blows himself up

I think it's lazy but I honestly expect it to go

Uncle Harlo

We need a scene where Saw gets paranoid about Luthen coming after him, and then he gives the monologue from Shield.

What I do not get was the creative decision in 4-7 to have Wilmon with Saw and the whole fume thing. That made it seem like Wilmon was going to stay with Saw, yet then in 7-9 have Wilmon show up again, still working with Luthen and Andor. If the argument is the Saw thing was about Wilmon being radicalised, well he seems no more radicalised in his next appearance and he was really hardcore committed already. It would have made more sense for Vel to have been with Andor on Ghorman in 7-9 given both the Wilmon stuff and that she was already involved in 4-7 - you could make the argument that it removes the part we got with her about no longer working for Luthen, but for how little we got I do not know how much it adds and besides it seems like that ground is (or at least should) be covered with Wilmon going to Saw (representing those who think Luthen does not go far enough) and Andor (who has his own conflict with Luthen).

Yeah at the least I thought we'd get some kind of outrageous action sequence with Saw's group wrecking some Imperials.

The premise seemed to be - takes ALL SORTS to make a Rebellion. They kind of only halfway commited to that though.

I want to see a massive Saw terrorist attack. Like that one episode of the clone wars where they use the rhydonium to blow up a Venator. That shit that he has been huffing can vaporize cities.

it would make sense that Saw and his gang would chimp out in some way after what happened at Ghorman
but RO kind of makes it seem like the (official) "Alliance" hadn't had any contact with Saw in years (ie what
ever he did that pissed the rest of them off was something that happened awhile ago, not days ago as would
probably be the case if it happens during these next/final three eps.

I'm just glad planet of the incels bitch curry nigger is dead. If only it was IRL too.

You know what I hoped would happen when I saw Wilmon in the crowd shots in the trailer for Ghorman Massacre? I hoped that in their desire to bait outside agitators into the Ghorman protest, they accidentally got Saw and his crew there, and they blow the planned one sided massacre, way out of proportions. It would have even helped to explain why Saw is so broken and fucked up in the movie, if they showed him and his people barely shoot their way out and maybe drag him along after he gets messed up.

You do not even have to have Saw do anything morally questionable or objectionable. He is just to paranoid, uncooperative etc. to work with. Take whatever his name from Rogue One that showed up in the latest episodes with his point about the rebels becoming more organised. You cannot integrate Saw and his cell into that.

We see he's already in his base at Jedha with his inhaler so whatever it was we're not going to find out about it

that would have been cool

Checked, my lord

Maybe he can show up during a turning point in Luthen's master plan and have a schizo moment that gets him killed

As much as I don't care for Rebels, it is canon and Mon lists stuff like

You target civilians

kill those who surrender

Break every rule of engagement

I kinda hoped to see this side of Saw in Andor. Weird how Rebels was more willing to paint Saw as this Che of the republic, and actually lists his crimes, but in Andor, he is the paranoid unc huffing gas fumes, killing one dude and making off with a small time heist. I think this is what was lost in turning 4 seasons worth of material into 1. We lost on the development of a character who is quite relevant in the Rogue One plot.

safe on Alderaan

Kek. Why didn't they just kill off the Latin skank instead of condemning her to being atomised by Tarkin.

Does anyone have any webms from S1?

Wait so Saw spends his time basically getting high and calling up other Rebels to tell them that they suck. Man they should have focused the show on him, he gets all the good bits.

I was born a rhydonium huffer, I'll die a rhydonium huffer

I really hope Saw is going to do some big terrorist attack with all that gas he stole, but it's more likely they just forget about him.

Did George Lucas write this touching speech? It sort of sounds like "I hate sand." Also fuck George Lucas

Saw is cooking

based and seperatist pilled

Mothma accuses him in Rebels of executing those who surrender and targeting civilians. Would be cool to actually see that, but I guess not. My gripe with Andor is that Saw is basically a cameo. Appeared in S1 and S2 for schizo speech that is barely even related to the rest of the show, and didn't do anything.

With Rhydo and Rhydo accessories?

its fuel for his ships though

That can be weaponized. Been done already.

You can also make a bomb out of it.

My guess?

From the very first Andor videos, from one artwork we did not seeing yet.... 01:34:

Some shit will happen and Andor will run for his life in a fucked up A-Wing.

B E L I E V E.

same with regular gasoline cars use and you don't see people doing that all the time

what are Molotov cocktails

He was one of the pissed off speakers at their meeting, and despite being the big surly angry guy he didn't think stirring shit up was going to achieve their goals. And then I guess he randomly was nearby and heard them starting shit and came to investigate

Based Filoni thrashing digits

What if the last three episodes suck?

They most definitely won't be as good as the last three. So there will be some disappointment inevitably. They blew off their load too early.

ON PROGRAM

Are you part of it?

The producer has never hid the fact that the series finale is Rouge One, and you will like the series finale exactly as much as you like that movie.

this would have been nice, now I'm slightly irritated it didn't go that way even though I'm enjoying the show so far lol

I'll get very drunk.

I think they might be disappointing, but in the vein that some think ep 1-3 was disappointing.

episode 10 starts opens with a monologue

'my name is kino loy'

less than her as far as I can tell

Well, Luthen recruited her, so...

new

If it was about gaza they would've had the rebels rape some female civilians. The show only depicts rape from the empire.

I find it funny how in Rogue One, the Rebellion sends most of it's forces to Sacariff to fight in a hopeless battle. Then they lose a lot of their fighters and ships. And when the Death Star finally finds their location, they barely have a few X-wings to send up and they win thanks to the intentional design flaw. And after the destruction of Alderaan and the Death Star, more people join up and Rebellion gets second wind.
Meanwhile from imperial POV, they have never known just how big the Rebel numbers were. All their fights with Rebels have been small squadrons. And then suddenly they get attacked by a huge fleet that shows up out of nowhere, and is sacrificed so carelessly. From their POV, the Rebellion had a lot more forces somewhere. It's funny how they never knew just how close they were to winning.

That scene is even more laughable with midget Jyn beating down an entire team of troopers then she one shots the droid. Movie is legit dogshit

production quality

The writing is all that matters. Ashoka had good production.
