/andor/ general

well, at least its not death star ending, right?

a fate worse than death

wtf these threads are so gay.
bring back the revenge of the sith threads!

Luthen IS plaplaptine, you can even see the unfinished Vader's armor in his workshop.

loses her boyfriend

loses her freedom

She's 100% going to commit suicide with the hot floor.

She just needs to survive like a few years till Luke kills the Emperor and they free everyone from the death camps. She'll be alright!

>loses her freedom

never had any

Look at it from the bright side. She will help construct the death start that will kill Andor.

so what happens to Klea?
no one believes what shes saying
we dont see her ever again

They start believing it shortly afterwards once Andor gets more information on the DS at the start of R1.

she becomes Vel's husband

Sadly even if she lives she won't be written the same

Now every time I will look at Motma in OT, lady in the white, stoic and quiet, or even her in the PT deleted scenes - gentle and polite, I'll be seeing her raving like a whore in Andor.
Thank you Disney.

Death star that kills Andor is already operational

Don't forget her disbanding the army as no longer necessary as of the sequel trilogy and pretty much being responsible for the First Order taking over so easily.

Good morning, Kleya. The Council has sanctioned Luthen Rael for termination. After the events in the Senate, further intelligence revealed that Rael is being transferred to an Imperial private medical institute known as The Spire.

Rael, known to the Empire by his codename 'Axis', has been suffering from a self inflicted stab wound sustained during his capture by the ISB, The Spire specializes in forbidden regenerative procedures—biotech far beyond what’s publicly sanctioned. Rael is scheduled for a full neural clone mapping, a process meant to preserve his mind and secrets indefinitely.

The secondary target is Dedra Meero, an Imperial Security Bureau officer. She has arrived on-site ahead of schedule, officially to oversee Rael’s containment. Unofficially, she's there to extract every shred of intelligence about the Rebel network before the procedure begins.

Rael is under constant surveillance, protected by elite Imperial guards and encrypted biometric locks. We've arranged for you to be admitted as a medical technician under the alias Tobia Reeph. The facility is isolated from galactic networks and employs retinal scans, voiceprint access, and bio-coded implants to restrict movement.

This mission will test your precision and subtlety. But if anyone can pull it off, it’s you, Kleya.

gulags probably switched to assembling simple shit like tie fighters and at-sts by the time she got in

Excellent work, Kleya. This will surely be a blow to the Empire.

They're gonna go back to making a new Death Star in a week

I was hoping Admiral Chaddus would do more

How did they keep this big ass ball a secret in outer space? What if someone passes by the area on their way home from work?

Just rewatched Rogue One. Pure kino.

Even we, the audience, don't know where it was being constructed, but presumably it was in a very tightly controlled system

Kino but

There's just too many fucking women. And a groomer dike to boot. It's ridiculous.

Also, after the Mon/Cassian escape I rewatched Rogue One. I said it the first time and I'll say again that this is top 3 Star Wars film. Fucking amazing.

The Kyber mine scene is one of the best in the entire canon.

check out what BBY means

page has an overview of all the different eras

Republic Era lasted a thousand billion years

Empire lasted 2 minutes

New Republic lasted 3 minutes

I understand now all the posts belittling the sacrifices the characters in the show had to make for a ragtag bunch of teenagers and mascots to save the galaxy, twice

Is the series done?

The first death star is 20x smaller than our moon. You could place such a object between Earth and Mars and no one would notice it if it was stationary.

What if we made a prequel series based on the least interesting character from this movie not named Jyn Erso

Star Wars itself is done

shell was constructed above geonosis and then imps just gassed all the bugs to cover it up

good point, we should make a show about characters people care about, like Obi-Wan Kenobi

Rogue One is still clunky corposlop, but it seems to work a bit better after Andor.

The republic lasted unrealistically long

That said, fuck the sequel trilogy. Completely undermined the entire original trilogy by just having empire 2 crush the new republic in half a second while they bring out yet another deathstar

ST was a pox on the whole IP

Disney really fumbled the lore lol

I dont even view them as the same character desu.

Space is breddy big

murderbot on apple tv, even has a skarsgard

I want young Luthen arc. Make it happen yidney.

yeah I'm watching it now
the ending of andor leads smoothly into RO
they really need to move on now from this era

watch new episodes

so bored I start having intrusive sexual thoughts about comms woman

K solos the entire imperial squad

Cassian and co just walk out the front entrance

its all so tiring

It was Kino.
go back to fortnite on one screen and tiktok to the other

not like this andor... not like this...

he fucked her

To be fair, you have to have a really high IQ to enjoy Star Wars slop. The themes of made-up oppression are extremely subtle...

No more star wars for us bros.... see you in the next general...

I really enjoyed episode 10. But then 11-12 were kinda nothing burgers. This being connected to fucking rogue one really just killed any form of good ending for me. Why bother setting up Andor with a kid if he never mentions bix in rogue one. This is a problem with prequels I guess.

I really enjoyed episode 10.

based 85iq plot hole ignorer

New take:
This is all you need:

Andor S1

Andor S2

R1

ANH

based 85iq plot hole ignorer

the entire thing is rushed. But atleast episode 1- was focused on a single problem. Luthen had a nice send off as well.

One might say... a new hope

cya bros it's been an honor

an hero's with tiny dagger relic then gets euthanized

more time devoted to flashbacks of whatshername's generic childhood backstory

I guess I was expecting something different lol

nom andor

No more star wars for us bros.... see you in the next general...

I'll never come back to Anon Babble again. It's over.

the credits OST is KINOOO

Bix had to be A) Pregnant, B) intending to get in touch with Ando, C) merked with some combination of preventability and blue on blue (Lutthin, Saw, Vel) D) leave another message saying he was right, and that they had given enough to the cause.

Andor's face turn and motivation in light of the previous 3 episodes wasnt plausible otherwise

The entire hospital arc could have be cut and it would have made zero difference.

Going after the empires highest priority threat

send 8 guys with no back up or air support even though you know she's calling for rescue.

the 4 guys you leave to secure the area all let themselves be murdered one at a time with out attempting to call for help.

Bix should have died fighting the good fight. Instead, they just force this goodbye and have her live a happy ending? Like, I guess? Until Imperials return to that planet and start killing people even more sporadically after the Rebels fucking destroy their mega space weapon

this is going to change star wars viewing paradigms forever

Maybe on Planet Retard

They didn't fucking know any of that

So give me your honest opinion
where do you think sw will go from here? will they capitalize on making "mature" shows set in different times?

comms girl just sits in the safe house having a nervous breakdown and exposing her position instead of trying to leave Coruscant

after Andor shows up they leave Coruscant with zero difficulty whatsoever by just flying away

its going to be funny if Critical Drinker gives the ending an equally glowing review

Bix and Andor should have had an open and frank conversation about being swingers and her giving him permission to fuck other women, otherwise it's pretty much like she was raped all over again

No, because Fagloni isn't capable of making them or allowing other people to make them. This is it my friend. From here on out it's nothing but lowbrow kiddie shit and Witwer monologuing until we die.

24 hour procedurally generated star wars powered by AI and based on superchat prompts

Lol
Should have never watched Andor (like me)

Imperials return to that planet and start killing people even more sporadically

based on this show Imperials need to have completely surrounded hundreds of mostly unarmed civilians to succeed in killing anyone.

Leave how exactly? Grow wings and fucking fly away?
She doesn't have a ship.

so this nigga wasn't a jedi? what a bummer

yikes anon

isn't this to highlight the ISB being spread thin with Meero's fuckery and the bereaucracy involved?

animated shows that are cheap to produce and written by Lucasfilm interns.

muh imperial troop

what a way to ruin the character. dogshit

Luthen had a ship, why the fuck wouldn't they both have a means of quickly getting off-planet if its that simple?

that's a pretext for the Imperials being incompetant but it doesn't explain why the heroes are.

is this a Hitman reference ?

every SW medium must have le ebin force user

No.

What happened to all the brown and black rebels?

She had to pass on the message to someone, right? From what the show showed, her only lifeline was to Andor.

They were mercifully killed by the Empire.

republic used to be 90% whitey until not that long ago

They were out picking dat cotton

she literally broadcast to the young dude on Yavin.
the question is why she stayed on Coruscant to do it.
but anyway its all so the episode plot can happen. fuck it.

Have you thanked Kathleen, anons?

thank you my queen

Which way rebel man?

that

or

this

I'm not thanking her for anything she put us through too much shit for the last 10 years

is ryan gosling character the son of cassian and bix?

Yes I am quite sure she could have taken that bigass radio on a space public transport ship, plugged it in and all of that while having her face blasted everywhere as patient zero for a plague.

operation "get behind the darkies" was a big success

if the Hobbit movies are a 2/10 leadup to LOTR, this is at best a 6/10 leadup to ANH.

Left behind on Yavin.

Where was Mothma during the medal ceremony? Getting drunk and dancing>

she would have had her own ship or been able to use Luthen's.
I am not accepting the abruptly-introduced premise that Luthen had almost no resources despite being a regular at Senate social functions.
Cassian himself has access to a ship in season 1 despite being a bum from nowhere.

At the very back of the hall, where they should be

Not exactly. It's Krennic who ordered to search every inch of Coruscant and cover every possible avenue to escape and make contact with rebels.
Main weakness of the Empire is that ambitious civilians like Vader (monk), Tarkin (Governor), Krennic (developer) climbs higher than professionals and orders them follow their retarded logic.

By Andor I meant Wil as an extension, they treated the receiver like its a "shit's fucked code red send help asap" situation. After the whole Mothma thing, security was probably amped up and they're the only ones left in Coruscant so Kleya probably had no other resources to resort to.

So did you miss what happened to Luthen's ship or what?

andor hitman game when

i clapped when i recognized what she said

I'll take it after the 1/10 lead up known as the Prequel Trilogy

Just finished rewaching R1, pretty decent especially with andor giving it more backstory and stuff, but why was Leia aboard a ship in the middle of an space fight?

every SW medium must have le ebin force user

I was also afraid of this because of the first season. They showed him owning kyber crystal, his walking staff looks like lightsaber, his ship had Maul's dual blades.

Those were really shitty visual designs but I feel these three episodes were disappointing. And Luthen's fall wasn't satisfying. If they didn't fuck around and drag with episodes 4-6 they would have enough screentime for finale.

so far my opinion is
s2e1-3: slow start like season 1, slightly weaker but still good
s2e4-6: 3 episodes were too much time for amount of story progress we got
s2e7-9: Great
s2e10-12: rushed and same problems as s2ep4-6

bussin show

anon there are year-long gaps between episodes and Luthen is a successful art dealer.
you may as well be telling me directly that you are a shill.

Post this in the next thread too, you fucking austismo.

I've not watched the final 3 episodes yet, but I hope Luthen gets to attend one last high society function. He seems so happy there

get a second monitor nigga

Luke a farm boy that joined the rebellion yesterday and a smuggler that led the empire to Yarvin get medals in a big ceremony

But not the ones that gave everything to get ot that point

Andor and Luthern Rael deserves to have a Lenin sized statue,

It was Partahmgaz who suggested they tell everyone the person they're looking for has the plague instead the truth which is she bombed a hospital.

I can't believe anyone thought this was worth typing out and then hitting "post".

it's too inconvenient to look over to the second moniter when something interesting is happening

Bail Organa told her to be there

Andors baby has a series, he has force powers.

Hey what about Jyn?
Realistically they would make a monument to the entire crew of Rogue One around where the wall of Clone casualties on Geonosis is on Coruscant but nobody had the balls to portray it so far.

why would he need a face turn he was thrown in a gulag for wondering around. At this point his entire being is focused on destruying the empire. Him having a kid or wife would not change that. it would make him even more determined. Its like the andor writers forgot season 1 happened. And the fans of the show also not thinking through human emotions. People will do anything to piotect their families. Andor has something else to fight for Bix and his son. Well he would've if the writers werent morons.

Filoni will make him Ahsoka's apprentice

why?

Dead. The Force is WHITE

The second Luthen stabbed himself, the imps started going through all his shit, including his ship parked in back. They literally show them board it and open his disguise closet area.

bitch I just saw this ship

I kek everytime

The pic of the post you responded to is Yavin.

because he trusted her

It's a galaxy of thousands of inhabited worlds. Yes.

The only star wars I'm looking forward to now is the 3rd ea jedi game, fucking sad

her explanation doesn't even make sense in ANH.
the dialogue should have been that she was on a diplomatic mission to Tatooine.

Yeah them, and Saw and his crew that he lost like two tubes brother. Lonni since Klaya is the only person who knows he was an ISB double agent for at least 4 years probably way longer.
But nah some fucking dumb farm kind and his criminal mate and his dog get all the glory

this
also the literally me movie kinda

battle of Scarif :^)

the Luthen we were shown would have had a whole series of backup and escape plans in case he got exposed, including preventing the Empire getting data on the rebellion.
it's just bad writing.

kleya didn't immediately left corusant as soon as she put Luthen to rip

I find contrived that Luthen and kleya didn't have at least a couple of ships park close by just in case they needed to escape asap

yes and he's also force sensitive and Rey will train him.
t. Kathleen Keneddy, probably

PROS!

Jyn was great & better than Rey.

Diversity is handled well and is not called attention to nor are the diverse characters unlikable spiteful cunts like in Last Jedi, they are all endearing & likable.

Score is fucking beautiful.

Final battle is entirely great.

Ending from when the Destroyers crash into the Shield generator to the credits is magnificent.

Vader is a fucking beast during his final scene.

Cinematography and choreography are some of the absolute best of the entire series, massively better than Last fucking Jedi. Shots overlooking the planet towards the end are beautiful.

Gaylan's message to Jyn is emotionally effective.

Krennic is a good villain (but not great). Better than the First Order officers in TFA/TLJ.

SUBJECTIVE PROS or CONS!

CGI Tarkin / Leia (I like their inclusion and felt the cgi worked more than not)

Fan service (there is not even fucking close to being as much as haters claim, there is the cameo by the bar thugs, c3po/r2 and the Rebel pilots. That's basically it)

Seems long.

Jumping across locations in the first 3rd (I liked this)

CONS!

Cast is underdeveloped (I personally thought jyn was developed fine)

Mads is underused.

That itself would be contrived

Spare ships to get off worrld ASAP, the place rigged to blow, Luthern should have shot Dedra when she entered his shop. I thought he was going to play ignorant the whole time to gaslight her but he admits it to her. How did she know he was axis anyway? Also how/who spread Nemiks manifesto around on some many channels, that also came out of no where

Is Ryan Gosling’s character in Starfighter Cassian and Bix’s son?

In the last episode of Andor (S2), Bix is shown with a kid. It’s not spelled out, but the vibe is very “this is Cassian’s child.” If that’s the case, and the kid was born around the time Cassian died (1 BBY), they’d be about 40 years old by the time of Starfighter (which we know is set 5 years after The Rise of Skywalker, aka 40 ABY).

And who’s starring in Starfighter?

Ryan Gosling

He’s the right age. The movie’s supposed to be standalone, not connected to Rey or the Mandoverse. And the early descriptions talk about a reluctant hero pilot with a bit of a legacy vibe. Sounds like someone raised in the shadow of the Rebellion, maybe?

Wouldn’t surprise me if he turns out to be Cassian and Bix’s son, either outright stated or just subtly implied like Andor did with the kid.

What do you all think? Too much of a stretch, or are we onto something?

no, it just would have circumvented the plot of all three episodes lol

Lets be real. It's a bit underwhelming for a finale.

the name's Ryan

Ryan Andor

space mexican + space puerto rican = space white

sure why not

I can feel the money vanishing back into my wallet just thinking about it!

Partagaz knew the Empire was ultimately fucked didn't he?

Child of 2 mexicans

White guy

no

fuck man
I was scared of getting GoT
even in best case scenario I felt there wasn't enough episodes to cover it, they could've done amazing with another season, maybe several, but I'm content with this last arc too.

Sure, seeing more of Saw, seeing a good planeshot of Ghorman post-gouging, would've been lovely, but that's more like nice fan-service to me. Saw would've been fun, while seeing planetary destruction of Ghorman would've hit harder.
I am so happy with this, and teary eyed.
Last arc's addition of K2SO felt a bit hamfisted, but once he was on I even chuckled at his lines. Thought I'd be rolling my eyes at his attempts at comic relief but no.

I love OT.
I've had some fun with the prequels, but I do think they're bad movies with some nice set pieces and the occasional nice golden nugget.
Andor feels like it brings balance back to star wars for me, and I ignored Andor until last year.

Gonna rewatch Rogue One, then the 1997 ending of ROTJ.
Maybe a 2004 ending of ROTJ, but with sebastian shaw edited back in, I don't mind the Naboo celebration scene.

he felt he had failed personally to contain the Rebellion at an earlier stage. most emotionally affecting part of the episode frankly, this IP is really very dead given who I wound up being most invested in.

Up until episode 9 I was giving s1 a slight edge over s2, but now I think s2 is better.
I need to go back and watch s1 tho.

I truly only have one gripe about the ending: Bix

And it's not even about the sekrit preggers bit, which is melodramatic tripe but meh.

My beef is that she's supposed to be "someplace safe", so she picks MINA-RAU to hide out on? The same Mina-RAu that was a target of Rebel terrorism that wiped out an Imperial inspection platoon using a stolen TIE Avenger prototype? The same Mina-Rau that got Brasso killed and herself attacked and nearly violated, forcing her to personally murder two Imperial inspectors? She basically camped in a known insurgency hotspot, the scene of crimes that, under Imperial edict, constitute Class-I felonies that should have incurred giant penalties against the planet's entire population AND result in a permanent military presence on-world?

Seem smart? Seem "safe"? No, not to me, either. One blemish in an otherwise great ending, but man is it a doozy of a blemish.

throw Lucas story treatment for the sequels in the fucking trash

started a trilogy of movies with no fucking plan, just making shit up along the way

let Ryan johnson outright scrap everything that jar jar Abrams did in episode 7

then get jar jar Abrams again for the final movie and he had to pull shit out of his ass thanks to jonhson

sign up two directors known for comedy movies and be shocked they turned your han solo movie into a comedy

fire them and get Ron Howard to basically make the movie from scratch

movie fucking bombs killing the idea for yearly stars wars movies

ruin the mandalorian by backpedaling the ending of season 2 because you don't want to lose baby Yoda merchandise sales

approves the shitty Indiana jones movie

ACOLYTE

Kathleen isn't good at her job

Agreed rogue one bro

that was all the Disney board of director's fault. Kathleen was just put out in front to take fire for their decisions.
the fact that she just said yes to everything Gilroy wanted to do pretty much confirms she never forced anyone to make terrible films.

perrin dead inside with sculdun's wife

I wonder what happened to him.

She most certainly did that's what the feminist nigger story group enforced

bad decisions are someone's else's fault

good decisions are all hers thro!

Fuck off Kathleen

>ruin the mandalorian by backpedaling the ending of season 2 because you don't want to lose baby Yoda merchandise sales

That didn't ruin S3.
S3 was ruined by them making it the Bo-Katan show (I say that as a massive fan of Katee Sackhoff) and making Mando artificially incompetent to prop her up + the crap with the fat black bitch.

Best excuse I can make for it that she has contacts there, and that no one where is really safe.
There's been rebel activity everywhere, so Mini-Rau doesn't really stand out.

Almost like the woman in charge of Star Wars wanted to make a yay queen slay show

One blemish in an otherwise great ending

top lel

Show's full of gaps and failures of logic
I found it appalling that, apart from the whole dumb scenario of the Dedra and Luthen confrontation, Kleya is right fucking there in plain view of any of the swarm of Imperial troops, watching as they're taking Luthen to the hospital, and no one snatches her up and throws her into an ISB prison cell for 'enhanced interrogation'
There's no way she wouldn't have been instantly deemed Public Enemy #2, given her long and close association with Luthen that absolutely everyone knew about

First line. All dead.
The Empire were the ones who weren't afraid to hire black people.

based?

But that falls flat when you consider that she's not just hiding from the Empire, but also from Cassian, so she goes back to a world she knows he's familiar with? Mina-Rau just screams cop-out to me, when you take all the bad reasons to be there into account.

it's a shame because the good episodes (in both seasons) are really really good. there just aren't many of them and the timeskips means the show can't build momentum as consequences of the previous chapter's events are always resolved by the next.

surprisingly yeah
K-2SO was based

a funnier character than they've ever had before, and they got him working

absolutely brutal what k2 did with heert

Krennic, I want you to meet me at my lava fortress on Volcano Planet so that I can make Marvel quips at you.

the most based
lost my shit when he grabbed Hiirt by the nevk

Why is this franchise so popular? This is better than anything George or filoni could ever shit out. And yet the fans will slurp up whatever those guys put out. Even rogue one is endless member berries.

its lucky Partigaz didn't send 10,000 troops to the building, as K would have had to easily beat them all individually and it would have gotten pretty repetitive.

She's not really that worried about Cassian finding her, let alone look for her that moment. He's not an enemy, if he did show up, she could just leave again, there's no real threat to Cassian finding her.

Even rogue one is endless member berries.

No it fucking isn't. 90% of them last for less than a minute.

alternate universe where we got 3 seasons, but the extra 12 episodes are just K mercilessly tearing apart ISB goons

The fuck is this bitch problem? Is he a spy casting doubt on everyone?

rasps awkwardly in elderly James Early Jones

I agree, but they said that getting an audit on this planet was REALLY rare, so it's probably safer to be here now that the audit is done.

She was worried enough to bail on him and not give any clues as to where she was going in her Dear John farewell vid.

you just had to invoke that stupid fucking south park reference didn't you, tasteless plebeian.

KK finally got the kino SW project she always wanted under her belt thanks to Gilroy, she can now move on.

May I have a moment to collect my thoughts?

reminder that by going to rescue Kleya, Cassian was literally risking the entire Rebel base being exposed if he got captured.

walks out of front of building and flies off with zero consequences

They KILLED the auditors!

she's diversity casting for its own sake

finally the Empire is defeated!

let the ethnic cleansing begin!

But it's 3~4 years after

She's from Taris.

K-2SO is the star wars version of marvel hulk

I want to know what wretched planet she's supposed to be representing

hacksaw_ridge_body_shield.webm

the Empire is incredibly good at tracking people except for when it isn't.

Plenty of time to move a permanent garrison in place for even more audits!

I'm unsure if Heert died from being shot by the ISB team leader or if K2 broke his neck. He looked pretty limp before he even got shot.

I wanted a war story ala band of brothers. Instead we got le epic females girl boss and useless troopers and bad ass vader scene for no reason just to wank the fans. Going from andor to rogue one is a tonal whiplash that don't fit. We have blind kung fu man who beats down a group of troopers with just a stick. kek

The bot broke his neck, it's his signature move.

one black woman in the room

absolutely insufferable

Based Gilroy, lmao

who even is this? Why do they keep adding random brown and black characters into the original trilogy. Like fuck them they don't need to exist. Just make a new time line.

Jyn is the polar opposite of a girlboss you retarded fuck. She does not misandrist. The film does nothing to put men down to elevate her. She does nothing unbelievably overcompetent.

He probably learnt to do it on the ghorman civilians.
Fucker does apparently remember everything he did as an imperial droid.

What a tough job she has

Getting coffee and sucking dick is a tough job?

I think the only scene that really fits seemlessly is the Ring of Kafrene.

bomber karath, do it again

Well, here we are...
I guess Television & Film Star Wars dies a good death. Although it may have died 10 years ago.
What do I do now?

tfw no KX-unit murder buddy

mfw the star wars theme plays during the credits of the last episode

Jyn is the polar opposite of a girlboss you retarded fuck.

She literally beats down a team of soldiers by herself then one shots a K2 droid for fun. Get fucked. If this was Andor she would get her neck snapped being that retarded.

Women being able to fight doesn't make them a girlboss.

You have to learn to live with the tonal dissonance between drama and action adventure

that pic

I can feel his misery.

why even bother showing Bix with Andor baby at the end

set up for fagloni

It's weird, I feel like it happens too often that they cast a black woman in a role with authority, and then they make her the insufferable one who obstructs the protagonists.

Cheap tearjerking for the Youtube reviewers to mope about

setup for the sequel where we find out who Bix was cheating on Cassian with

Obnoxious just like real life. Getting the fatigue while watching Andor was not on my bingo card.

I wanted a war story ala band of brothers

thats clone wars, not dark times

why are the K2 droids blaster proof in Andor.

Whats the point showing mon montma husband?

it's flawlessly realistic

I hope she named the kid Timm
