Star Wars: Andor (Disney+)

[epilogue]

Though, I think the harder sell will be to Tony not Bob.

[Ensign9]

I dunno; he does seem to be enjoying himself.

[Ensign9]

Hot take: Cassian would've caught Bix before she left had he not stopped to change out of his pajamas first.

Are you guys having a competition to see who can have the worst take and totally wrong reading of the characters in this show or what?

It is nice to see since he was so reluctant at the beginning.

Though, he has also talked about his expensive the show is and that is been really hard, like making 8 movies in 5 years.

But, yeah, I'd love for him to come back and showrun a Mothma series, though. Man! I think that might be the new Star Wars thing I want the most.

There's no way you're a parent.

I'm proudly not.

This is more enlightening than any YouTube video

[Bi_3]

but anyway, Andor is a gift. I’ll get back to details later as it’s show day but teenjus fucking Christ team. To get something of this caliber out of an exhausted IP owned by Disney is a miracle. Take a breath, let your testicles finally descend, and enjoy it. There won’t be anything like this ever again

What is it with you and kids genitalia ?

From Star Wars official site

"Syril has been chasing Cassian since the moment we met him, and he recognizes his target on sight, venting all his frustrations by pummeling the rebel with his fists"

They dropped the ball in the writing of then. He hasn’t mentioned Andor since early in season one. Hasn’t even alluded to him since then. And certainly hasn’t in season two, its 5 years later and somehow recognises him? In a riot?
Not only that, only Syril knows who he is or what he looks like? And in that 5 years Cassian has been in an imperial prison, can visit Coruscant freely and without any impediment whenever he wishes and most recently somehow plants a bomb inside an ISB HQ on Coruscant and in all that time the imperials and all the organs of the state don’t know who he is. Only Syril does who has been obsessing about him all this time we’re told. Really? He hasn’t mentioned it *in years*.
He can even walk around undisturbed within the actual senate building on coruscant and no even facial recognition no? No wanted posters flashing on all the security screens?

This is one of those Star Wars things it’s best not to think about it seems, like how did chewie use the bathroom and trust us, he’s been obsessed with him all this time, just go with it!


I’m pissed off for Syril. He’s a fascinating character and wish he had hung around. Again. Shit writing killing him off like that. Just to make a glib cheap point.

I would admit to nitpicking, but her family has been a huge part of this story only to be disregarded in her moment of heroism.

Feels, to me, like a fundamental misread of what the show has been trying to say/show. *shrugs*

We don't allow parents to abandon their kids just because they've been bitchy teens.

but I also think we haven’t seen everything yet.

True, but if I can't talk about things as they are, then I'm going to lock the thread b/c no one's allowed to think anything until the end of episode 12.

Likely way they’ve dealt with this is she’s a fugitive now and an enemy of the state. She’s in a rebellion. Even if she genuinely loved her husband and her daughter, they have to be dead to her now even if they’re not, she’s putting them at risk just by choosing the course she’s on and as we see the husband and daughter don’t have any love for her at all, don’t be shocked if they turn on her and do a big exposé publicly in order to save their own asses. We might see that yet given they’ve shown the empire using media manipulation to control the narrative. Or the empire will kill the husband and daughter as revenge (most likely)
None of this means Mon doesn’t feel any guilt or regret though.
As with the big media onslaught when Palpatine declares the Jedi enemies of the state inROTS , I hope we see it here too and they show all that. Call them all out on the holonet and name them insurgents and rebels. They won’t though.

He hasn’t mentioned Andor since early in season one. Hasn’t even alluded to him since then., just go with it!

I’m almost positive you are incorrect.

As for the rest of it, there are direct references to the Empire overreaching throughout both seasons. There is far too much going on for them to adequately keep track of everything. They need far more Syrils than they do Krennics and Meeros.

Maybe. He hasn’t though. There’s certainly no evidence of his obsession with andor in season two. The riot is five years after the initial incident. The imperials don’t even mention him. I’m sure one of these nerds will be along to argue the point, shortly.

I am so sorry that no one held your hand and spelled out these connections to you exactly as they’re meant to be interpreted.

No hands of mine need held. You’re allowed interpret Star Wars whatever way you want
Regardless how incorrect
Some basics on the way in would serve you better than this though.

Syril was in Ferrix in the last episode of S1 due to he found out Cassians Mum had passed and Cassian was likely to attend the funeral. Syril seemed obsessed with Cassian the entire S1 IMHO.

The reason Syril met Deedra was due to his constant reporting requests on Cassian to ISB.

I doubt he would forget who he was. BUt thats just my take

EDIT.

The actors take "“It’s so brutal for Syril to be confronted with his anonymity. He feels like he’s making such a difference, desperate to make change and be recognized and to be somebody and to have actually made a difference on Ghorman.

“In 10 minutes his whole world is turned upside down. And then he sees (Andor) – the physical representation of all of his anger and frustration and worthlessness, and he pours it into him in this fight. And then (Cassian) just goes, ‘Who are you?’ And he’s killed. Even if he hadn’t been blasted, he’s annihilated in that moment.”

As I was saying. That’s fine for the actor and he’s a brilliant actor and his final scene done well. Can anyone point to his obsession or any expression of it even in this season that motivated him?
It’s simply not there.
