Andor and to some extent Rogue One feel like a repudiation of Lucas’ Star Wars: real power lies with the people, not a cadre of space wizards in robes, and trying is as important as doing.

If Palpatine showed up on Ferrix, he’d get his ass bricked. 

Really kind of want to see Andor kick off an alternate timeline in which Vader gets dragged by an angry mob who steal his limbs and Palpatine ends up in the dock, where the judge responds with “Is this going anywhere?” every time he launches into one of his monologues about the true nature of the Force.

I think the pitch is always that “we pay for this show once, but bring in subscriptions for it for the next 50 years”. It’s a decent pitch if you make good content. I grew up watching Disney films that were like 40+ years old at the time, that my parents still had to pay full price for. Dumbo, Sleeping Beauty, and…

Fuck off

I did didn’t come here to the comments to post not post about the same different thing. I can can’t understand what this line does doesn’t mean.

“the show will won’t create new scenes for within the movie’s timeframe”

Born on third base as the heir to an emerald mine, so people had to treat the guy with money like he was smart. Got lucky as a co-founder of PayPal and now believes that all of that makes him what the weird sycophants say he is.

The bigger mystery is why people who will never get any of his money are so eager to…

Seriously, how did this guy turn himself into the richest guy on the planet without self destructing before now? 

Well, to start, this kind of gets into what you mean by fan. I was born in ‘73 and so pretty much grew up with Star Wars. I enjoy the originally trilogy quite a bit. That said, I’m not a fan in the sense that the diehards are. I think nostalgia is deadly for good storytelling. And I think that along with everything…

Syril, you dumb bastard. I was wrong to call Syril “Brownshirt Javert.”” Javert was eventually able to recognize the injustice of the system he supported. Syril still doesn’t realize he’s on the wrong side even after seeing the Empire slaughter innocent people. I will now call Syril “fascist Smithers.”

What did the article originally say?

Why wouldn’t Luthen find taking Cassian in appealing? He knows how supremely capable the guy is and no longer has to worry about his loyalties.

Anyone else old enough to pick up on the Irish analogies here? I mean Christ, that funeral scene!

Joss Whedon is a writer’s director: he is more well known for his witty and sharp writing than he is for any directorial choices.

Hero wins with casual ease, utilizing super-special weapons that we’ve never seen before despite seemingly having been the sort that would be super handy in lots of previous sequences in the franchise...

The extra weapons aside, is this not another emphasising point to the fact the Empire are far too complacent in their ability to crush everyone and everything in their path until the Rebellion fully erupts?

My favorite part of the scene was how it implies he improvised the countermeasures to fit the situation. The show makes a point to both have Luthen ask the onboad computer about the power level of the tractor beam and the Imperials call for upping the level when he does his first throttle. Like he baited them into…

I especially enjoyed the scene between Saw and Luthen where Luthen prevents Saw from going into a killing rage by saying “OK, call Kreegyr and tell him what’s up.” It’s just further evidence that rebellions are messy and not just hot shot pilots doing heroic trench runs on Death Stars.

Nitpick #2:  Those aren’t the “hard-working fisher aliens” sleeping in Cassian’s old hotel room, they are just random alien guests of the same hotel.  Different species entirely.  And why would Cassian need to tip toe through the room and sneakily retrieve his box if the room was occupied by his friends/liberators?
