Space les miserables edition

Bobs n vagene?

the xwing pov into hyperspace scene is E X T R E M E L Y kino

Why watch a show when you already know the guy dies in rouge one

It's time to catch up. I hope my boy cereal does some unhinged shit.

I can't wait for the last 3 episodes bros

One is a boilerplate flowery political speech which boils down to "Lies are bad."
The other is still being talked about 20 years later because it features two incredibly original characters (Jar Jar and Palpatine) delivering immortal lines that only one man could write.
Are you really telling me that when we let truth go by the wayside, we cede the narrative to whichever person yells the loudest? Wow, I've never heard it put quite that way before. These writers are incredible...
This is literally just regurgitating language and rhetoric that you'd have to be a zombie not to have absorbed in some fashion over the past 10 years. Then they put it in the Star Wars show so you'd clap. It's just not original! There should be more than this. And to be clear, the AOTC scene includes basic lines like: "I love democracy. I love the Republic." Yet everyone can hear these lines in their head! That's proof of how well-constructed the scene is on a CINEMATIC basis. Neither scene is great literature, but one thinks it is! These could be perfectly acceptable lines for the purpose of supporting a cinematic narrative, but everyone involved obviously believes this writing is itself the accomplishment. But here I can say objectively, it is neither saying anything new nor saying it in an innovative way. So where am I left with this speech as the centerpiece and, really, only matter of real interest in the episode? If I'm not impressed by the literary qualities of the writing, then I have little else to cling onto aside from how terribly Important it all is.

CAN YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE-ACK!

WE ARE THE GACK

Like another anon mentioned, I hope they do a director's cut of Rogue One for the 10th anniversary.

George would've made Jar Jar the Emperor's representative at the Senate during Mon Mothma's speech.

GHORMAN

GHORMAN MASSACRE

Based.

The other is still being talked about 20 years

jar jar would have never made as poignant a speech if it weren't for Mons being made 20bby prior

Dedra's going to blast Luthen then Kleya is going to blast Dedra

Even better, what if they make the movie into a s3 with all cut content put back? Could probably do a snyder cut

There, out in the darkness

A fugitive running

Fallen from grace

Forgot pic

Klays VS Daedra

Klaya dies

If you watch the compilation of the remaining trailer footage its easy to guess what happens after. The ISB hunt down Kleya and Andor and get to the coruscant safehouse, with K2 and possibly Melshi coming to save the day

How can actor just become the kino?

What

Always go full Andor.

Kleya might just have the museum rigged to explode. She's kind of nuts

Give me one (1) reason to support the rebellion over the Empire

You can't

rebellions are built of hope

empires are built on nope

ST shit in Andor thread

Get outta here

andor is a sequel-coded series. look at the aliens in it.

Do they have to pay George if they use a Rodian or something? These brown Disney blob aliens are hideous.

now they're about a year and a half from A New Hope

KINOOOO

not sure

i thought i saw a twi'lek in an episode of Andor but it ended up being something else

i don't get why they exclude ALL of the OT and PT aliens

Has Vader been mentioned once in the series?

It's weird because their animated shows have plenty of the already established aliens

Did you miss the last episode?

I'm pretty sure they have to pay royalties for anything lucas created

No, Vader isn't really public knowledge. Knowing Vader even exists is a privilege some have and knowing he's actually Anakin is something only a few people know about on top of that

exactly

but they bought it

Other live-action shows also have plenty of already established aliens. It's just Andor that's exclusively sequel-coded. The only explanation is Gilroy hating aliens, cuz he hates SW.

That’s because Gilroy is based

Wouldn't word of the Emperor's lightsaber-wielding dark-suited enforcer get out after 20 years?

cuz he hates SW

lol why?

Have you heard anyone mention Emperor Palpatine being a dark wizard?

That would explain some of how expensive this show is and why they use X-Wings and Tie Fighters so sparingly

Well yeah, you just mentioned it. Why?

makes gilroy piss and shit his pants in anger

They completely gayified this show. DEIsney just can't seem to control itself or it's impulses. I honestly wouldn't expect anything else.

never forget

Even though Gilroy mostly dgafs about Star Wars you'd think the costume people would want to put in the regular aliens

Saw’s Yeti is way more cool

he was 38 and didn't have a girlfriend until just before he died?

One thing I saw pointed out is Syril stops taking care of his hair at a certain point and grows it out like he doesn't care anymore

service for an Imperial patriot that died before the Battle of Yavin

life is measure using the Rebel calendar

wut

To be fair it's the only calendar we have in the Star Wars universe.

Nigga is that one of those twilek family tree things? Why do they have that?

Never ever, brehs

Nah. Kalikori are wooden. This is something else. Looks similar, though.

Luthen wouldn't shut up about them.

it's going to suck

kel dor mask

starkiller helmet

kyber crystal

holocrons

gungan shield

mandalorian armor

world between worlds tablets

Luthen's got it all and more

Maybe just because pretty much half the characters have to die or have some other tragic reasons for why they aren't in R1 or the OT

star wars peaked here

I'd have been pretty happy if someone had mentioned him, only for the other characters to respond like

fuck off conspiracy theorist!

we're fighting the Empire not fucking goblins or ghouls

So much Les Mis in this show. The not French Resistance even sings a song

kek, good point. it would have been cool to see someone mock the force.

Space Misérables

Look Turtleface, it's Star Wars!

The opening of RotS is pure kino

Andor calls the force healer a scammer and a quack in episode eight

Andor is so based

Given what the Imperial officers themselves think of Vader, the common belief among civilians is probably that Vader is either extremely chuuni or a myth.

Ghosts and goblins!
youtu.be/cNio2p6oplI?t=133

Yeah but I mean rejecting the idea that there is a Darth Vader at all, him specifically. Or maybe something about the Emperor being a Sith Lord. Not the Force necessarily.

It's a bit late to put it in now IMO, it would be better with something like Vader showing up for a quick thirty or sixty second scene.

Just poo-pooing the idea of Vade existing would have worked for early season 2, and then it's compared against the Force healer actually fixing Andor.

Rolling for scene of Andor sad and alone in his hut on Yavin looking at pictures of Bix Nood on his iPad

Isn't that more like the Wookiepedia calender since it's never mentioned in he shows

Holy kino, Gilroy...

Hairstyling must have a field day every time she sits in the chair

Maybe for the hair spray can. That's not that big of a deal for a stylist

If you're a child fixated on bad CGI and zoom-zoom distractions.

was Vader checking Krennic's testicles here?

Husband status?

Yes.

I still haven't seen Rogue One and I know when I watch it after the last arc dump it will probably disappoint me

Nah, nigga, that shit needs pins and a superstructure built within it to sustain against motion and errant wind.

Bix was unironically so fucking selfish
they were caught as illegals, and god knows what punishment awaits them all
all she had to do was let this chud put his dick into her for 2 minutes and they all walk scot free
but no, that's a line she wont cross. what a great friend.

Rape me. Rape me, my friend
Rape me. Rape me again
I’m not the only one, Aaah
I’m not the only one, Aaah
I’m not the only one, Aaah
I’m not the only one.

Hate me. Do it and do it again
Waste me. Rape me, my friend
I’m not the only one, Aaah
I’m not the only one, Aaah
I’m not the only one, Aaah
I’m not the only one.

lol wtf

context please

Don't downplay how good they are at their job, hair stylists at that level know what they're doing

you now remember the yavin retards in the woods "arc"

What?

Latinas hate sex

we'll never see the 90 minute opening of the battle of coruscant

lucas....

I'm just saying Costuming and Hair/Makeup need some nominations for some shit after Kleya and the entire Chandrila arc's work.

I love the story Gilroy tells about how these two guys got cast for the Yavin debacle. I wish I'd saved the image.

starkiller helmet

WHAT
where

I hecking love nepotism!

That shit is fucking great, come off it

at least he made them play retards

testicular torsion

Yikers. That happened to my buddy in 8th grade and he was carried out of school crying on a stretcher into an amberlamps. He was too embarrassed to say his balls were in pain so he told the nurse his stomach hurt and then he fell over crying and clutching his stomach so she called the paramedics. When the stupid idiot was fixed up and came back to school he told a few kids he had testicular torsion but not to tell anyone. They told everyone and then he was known as Twisty the Left Nut or just Twisty for the whole school year. Anyways I wish Andor looked more like SW. Its too drab and dull. Where's the color? Where's the werid aliens? Where's the cool looking analog-future tech?

when I saw the Rancor heads I clapped

I fell asleep at boarding school and when I woke up my testicle was twisted like that, I went to the school nurse and told her I needed to see a doctor... she was like. I can take a look at it if you want.

Is S2 at least as good as S1?

Did Star Wars EVER have these super secret concealed modern earpiece communicators? This is 21st century military tech. Too fucking modern and out of place. People in Star Wars have communicators, but they are usually wrist communicators. Clones/stormies had to wear helmets, which had cumbersome and elaborate communication systems, and they also had one on their wrist.

we dont know yet. Its not over.

I'd say they're about equal, they both have their ups and down and both started really slow. The Ghorman stuff was kino though so that might make it better than S1

What was the point of this character? Right when they could have done something interesting like showing someone with torn loyalties they just kill him off!? Im so tired of writers being shit. Andor is the protagonist yeah but then why did they spend all series developing this guy just to kill him?

I wanted him to fight back to back with andor after they almost killed eachother. i wanted Syril to realize he was a rebel now.

not enough luthen and i think this first half was weaker than the first half of season 1
we'll see though, ii'm expecting a lot of kino in the final episodes

What the fuck are you talking about?

not enough luthen

i wanted more of him too, but its hard when the rebellion is now forming he has less to do and is less important

i wanted Syril to realize he was a rebel now.

Maybe not a 180 into being a rebel all of the sudden but it would have been interesting to see more of a character stuck between the two sides realizing the empire he wanted to serve so honorably is actually horrible but the rebels are also kind of crazy at times what with them being full of criminals and lowlives.

i don't care for the realistic excuses, i just want more luthen in my kino ok???
he's the best part of the show

i'm expecting a lot of kino in the final episodes

i hope they explain why princess leia's face looks so weird and creepy in Rogue One, along with tarkin's face.

the REAL kino would be to have him kinda switch over to the rebels, but then he starts working with saw guerra and has no fucking clue what he believes after spending time with him

Welcome, M'sieur
Sit yourself down
And meet the best
Innkeeper in town
As for the rest,
All of 'em crooks
Rooking their guests
And cooking the books.
Seldom do you see
Honest men like me
A gent of good intent
Who's content to be

Master of the house
Doling out the charm
Ready with a handshake
And an open palm
Tells a saucy tale
Makes a little stir
Customers appreciate a bon-viveur
Glad to do a friend a favor
Doesn't cost me to be nice
But nothing gets you nothing
Everything has got a little price!

Master of the house
Keeper of the zoo
Ready to relieve 'em
Of a sou or two
Watering the wine
Making up the weight
Pickin' up their knick-knacks
When they can't see straight
Everybody loves a landlord
Everybody's bosom friend
I do whatever pleases
Jesus! Won't I bleed 'em in the end!

Master of the house
Quick to catch yer eye
Never wants a passerby
To pass him by
Servant to the poor
Butler to the great
Comforter, philosopher,
And lifelong mate!
Everybody's boon companion
Everybody's chaperone

Enter M'sieur
Lay down your load
Unlace your boots
And rest from the road
This weighs a ton
Travel's a curse
But here we strive
To lighten your purse
Here the goose is cooked
Here the fat is fried
And nothing's overlooked
Till I'm satisfied...

Food beyond compare
Food beyond belief
Mix it in a mincer
And pretend it's beef
Kidney of a horse
Liver of a cat
Filling up the sausages
With this and that

Residents are more than welcome
Bridal suite is occupied
Reasonable charges
Plus some little extras on the side!

Charge 'em for the lice
Extra for the mice
Two percent for looking in the mirror twice
Here a little slice
There a little cut
Three percent for sleeping with the window shut
When it comes to fixing prices
There are a lot of tricks he knows
How it all increases
All those bits and pieces
Jesus! It's amazing how it grows!

I was like 75% certain that Dedra and Syril would spin off into their own rebel cell. Dedra would still be working with ISB in secret, but Syril becomes a true believer. Then they get into conflict later in the season.

The other is still being talked about 20 years later because it features two incredibly original characters (Jar Jar and Palpatine) delivering immortal lines that only one man could write.

Dellow Felegates!

if we got 5 seasons they probably would have done something like this

Dirty bunch of geezers
Jesus! What a sorry little lot!

I used to dream
That I would meet a prince
But God Almighty,
Have you seen what's happened since?
`Master of the house?'
Isn't worth me spit!
`Comforter, philosopher'
- and lifelong shit!
Cunning little brain
Regular Voltaire
Thinks he's quite a lover
But there's not much there
What a cruel trick of nature
Landed me with such a louse
God knows how I've lasted
Living with this bastard in the house!

Master of the house.

Master and a half!

Comforter, philosopher

Ah, don't make me laugh!

Servant to the poor. Butler to the great.

Hypocrite and toady and inebriate!

Everybody bless the landlord!
Everybody bless his spouse!

Everybody raise a glass

Raise it up the master's arse.

Everybody raise a glass to the master of the house!

He's right, tho. This line, amongst many, has entered cultural zeitgeist and has been practically immortalized - like the prequels themselves.

thank you, sheev

Either way i cant be the only one who thinks they really wasted a huge amount of character potential with him. Maybe they just didnt have enough runtime left to squeeze it all in?

It's a tragic and pathetic end to a character that could have, and in ways unknown to those around him did, redeem himself but ultimately lost the opportunity to. His fate should be frustrating and unsatisfying, anyone cheering his death really missed the boat on why Cyril has one of the saddest arcs in a show where everyone meets a bad end

it would be better with something like Vader showing up for a quick thirty or sixty second scene

wrong you dumb retard they use proper calendar in Andor, you see it on Marva's and Clem's bricks.

wholeheartedly agree anon, i also felt that there was more to explore, but I guess their reasoning is that his purpose to the story is done. as you say there seems to be a lot of loose ends to tie up in a short timeframe, which makes it even more frustrating that they had andor doing NOTHING for the first quarter of the season

I hate this chud's fucking face

theeeerrrrrre out in the darkness

a fugitive runnniinnnngg

My thought is they were trying to show with him how service and loyalty to the empire leaves you to nameless and pathetic ends. Still think they should have done something more with him.

star wars unironically peaked right here
i don't care about the throne-room scene or anything from episode v
this is the peak

Syril attacks the 'outside agitator' he was trying to identify

hurr Syril was gunna realiz he wus a rebel now

you fucking retard

According to the actress who plays Dedra, this wasn't scripted

he stops fighting because he realizes hes on Andors side.

Why would Dedra defect? The only reason she hesitated was because Syril realized he was being used and had escaped into the crowd. She didn't want to the give the order that could kill her man.

i just rationalized it as being a bleeding edge james bond gadget sorta deal because of his connections to luthen, too delicate/expensive/etc to be commonplace

earpiece communicators

It would have made perfect since to have it in New Hope since they have mastered FTL engines, but IRL tech wasn't there yet so it would have been a concious choice to create that tech rather than an unconcious one that many people don't even notice like today. I see wrist communicators can be soft retconed as being a cost saving measure and Cass is the best rebel guy Luthern has so he gets the best most expensive tech.

No, the timeskip format results in major pacing issues. That said it's still miles better than any other sci-fi show currently airing.

I think you're right, its still unsatisfying regardless that we didn't get more out of his character

BIX SEXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

fucking theater kids ruined star wars

She wouldn't have defected, the ISB would have forced her to make running a rebel cell her full time job. They'd carry out dramatic attacks against the Empire that did no real damage, and in response the Empire would retaliate against whoever.

Syril is kind of a dork so he'd think they really had become rebels, and Dedra's ISB contacts were just her way of keeping them safe and playing it smart.

There is a castle on a cloud,
I like to go there in my sleep,
Aren't any floors for me to sweep,
Not in my castle on a cloud.

There is a room that's full of toys,
There are a hundred boys and girls,
Nobody shouts or talks too loud,
Not in my castle on a cloud.

There is a lady all in white,
Holds me and sings a lullaby,
She's nice to see and she's soft to touch,
She says "Cosette, I love you very much."

I know a place where no one's lost,
I know a place where no one cries,
Crying at all is not allowed,
Not in my castle on a cloud.

Wait...how many Bothans did you say? OMG THIS IS MY SONNNGGGGG

Syril is kind of a dork so he'd think they really had become rebels

You saying this after last week's episode tells me you haven't processed the information given to you.

the correct opinion to have is that season 2 isn't as good as season 1 (which was a lightning in the bottle moment) but still 10x better than all the other slop airing right now

fucking theater kids improved star wars

ftfy

Syril bros, is she going to avenge us?

would be kinda kino if she goes rogue to avenge him

I'm saying that my theory when Krennic asked Dedra to do the Ghorman operation was that this was how the storyline was going to go.

Kleya is Leia

see two guys acting like retards during a family dinner

decide to cast them to play retards in SW

Andor is basically him experiencing the stupidity in front of him

I respect him even more, thanks.

Opening of several Andor episodes says "3BBY" and shit

totally based

Dark Rey!

Yeah but I think Dedra had mixed feelings about the Ghorman operation the entire time.
Arc 2

Dedra never told Krennic about her false flag idea until he asked her directly, he knew she was unwilling to give her ideas

initially told Partagaz she didn't want the Ghorman job

Arc 3

Partagaz noted multiple times Dedra was "animated" and nervous as the operation drew near

Dedra brought up her concern as to how the civilians had weapons

was concerned that the imperial troopers with riot shields were just kids

This was all before Syril went into the crowd. I think Dedra really did want to climb the ranks of the Empire and do what was deemed necessary, but it ate away at her conscience at the same time.

You have to imagine after this final one year timeskip, she'll have earned a massive promotion after the success of Ghorman. Unless they go in the complete other direction and they show her suddenly without her position.

Bitch is totally going to do some killing, probably Luthen or Kleya or both

but she's too old to be Leia

It would be kino if she was Leia undercover and we all know it. Isn't Rogue One taking place in like a year from the last arc?

and then the emperor shows up and flings her out a window

very sex make boob bigger pls. what program sir

Dedra is at a turning point. She was clearly affected by Syril and seeing the Ghorman massacre behind her window.
She could defect (I doubt it) or double down to cope on what she did.

That's dumb but one last live action Palestine appearance could make up for how shit TRoS is

Maybe she takes the Bix Nood pill and starts doing drugs to cope

they were originally planning for 5 seasons but were forced to wrap everything up in this one, and gilroy also admitted that after bob iger became ceo at the end of '22 andor's budget had an axe taken to it
the outcome isn't surprising, no budget and no time

I hope Bix dies. Worthless character.

She's gone. I doubt we'll see her again.

that has to be the lamest way to use drugs i've ever seen
drinking a beer looks tougher than this shit
like if you're doing coke, you get the plate, roll up a bill, get the credit card and sniff that into oblivion
or you're doing heroine and injecting needles in between your fucking toes
or if you're doing crack you need the spoon and the lighter
but this?
this is just putting on some fucking lipstick
why couldn't we see some live action deathstick action or something that actually seems cool

Filoni will bring her back I can almost guarantee it.

No one's ever really gone.

Filoni is probably seething that Ahsoka hasn't shown up and sliced up a bunch of Stormtroopers before fighting an Inquisitor in this show

doing coke off a plate

Absolutely disgusting poorfag behavior. I hope you hit the edge of the plate and send it all flying

Filoni

he probably goes to Kathleen daily and complains about andor

Which episode is this from?

and/or what?

There is no way to convince me Vel and Sinta's actress haven't scissored before

I seriously doubt he even thinks about Andor.

Stop watching porn for 1 day please.

Filoni is so fucking horny, my God

I miss Sabine bros...

I miss Ray more :(

He has an entire harem to manage.

Don't smoke, kids.

Imagine how happy they'd be if they lived long enough to know about the Death Star blowing up

Who cares? There's another one in a year, and then Starkiller base, LMAO
Kinda funny, nothing anyone does in this fucked up Star Wars timeline matters

No one gives a shit about the ST and most fans don't even consider it canon

nothing anyone does in this fucked up Star Wars timeline matters

just like real life

Whats so bad about Child Marriage? They seem really into it.

Palp's nature is secret, Vader is no more secret than the Jedi were in the Republic era.

STILL no X-Wings with s-foils in attack position

I sense a malignant disturbance on your left testicle, my condolences

its because of Dave Filoni. He recently said Assoka season 2 is a giant space battle for the entire season. He probably did that once he heard Tony Gilroy was planning to do it in Andor.

In the Imperial era, no normal person should see a lightsaber, let alone a red one.

I don't buy it but she does kinda have a carrie fischer-esque look to her

who?

andor space battles

Uhhh, no thanks.

Gay if true. Ironically the part in Mandalorian when he's dealing with the space cops and the X-Wings going into attack mode was probably the most kino thing in the show

Is he totally bald or something? Why does he wear hat? He'd look a million times better without that fucking gay hat. It's like Tim Pond and his beanie.

He's a furry weirdo who likes the idea of banging a teenager with tentacle hair

so many things are profoundly fucked by the need for Jedi Amnesia in Star Wars, it's pretty much impossible to have any sort of serious conversation about the world because of it. At this point, they should simply make it canon that Darth Palpatine used almost all of his power to mindwipe the entirety of the galaxy to make it happen, forcing his seclusion from the galaxy for decades while the Empire marched on

we won't get good Star Wars ever again after this next arc
