Arguably the best Star Wars dialogue ever written. It’s almost Shakespearean.

Oh boy, loved seeing Christopher Plummer in Thorn Birds♥️

"And what do you sacrifice?" "Calm, kindness, kinship, love... I've given up all chances at inner peace, I've made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every morning to an equation I wrote fifteen years ago for which there's only one conclusion: I'm damned for what I do. My ego, my rage, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they set me on a path from which there's no escape. I yearned to be a saviour against the injustice without contemplating the cost, and by the time I looked down there was no longer any ground beneath my feet. What is, what is my sacrifice? I'm condamned 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 battle 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 heros I can get." I didn't need to transcribe. I guess I've just seen this too many times

A bunch of y’all will scoff at this, but I’m telling you… This monologue describes being a cop in a really violent city, and really, really, getting bad people off the streets… and it what it will cost you to do it for a long time.

Dear Acolyte fans. Watch this. Next to whatever you would consider the best piece of dialogue from Acolyte. If you don't understand why people hated Acolyte after doing that. You are the problem.

You can feel sorry for Luthen even if you can't agree or despise his methods. Another time where the Empire didn't exist, he would be enjoying an everyday life with kin and loved ones while seeing the sun rise. Another casualty of the Empire and Sith.

"The true measure of a hero is when a man lays down his life with the knowledge that those he saves... will never know" - Outer Limits

holy shit

He tells a story of a man-made-a-means. He is his own soulless creation, resenting his creator, but doomed to value and follow through with his directive no matter the cost. The soul is sacrificed. May as well get that damned victory.

If ya think about the lighting of the scene, the shadow over Luthen kind of represents the lengths he is willing to go to achieve his goals, while the light represents the goal itself which is to make a better world, one which he states he wont live to see.

The best Star Wars show ever! Brillantly written, great acting, morally grey not the the dumb "darkside is cool" (the Acolyte). I wish other shows were written like that. This monologue is Shakespearianly great, like Nemik manifesto, like the prison break, the ISB meetings and all the dialogues.

Bro.... Disney NEEDS the Writers and Director and Cinematographer of this show for not only the Star Wars Franchise but Marvel as well

Cómo se llamó el libro o la serie?

Stop running

That show transcended Star Wars like Winter Soldier transcended the MCU

I share my dreams with ghosts ... breaks me every time

How hard is it to do the Edge 2 and Envision cutter? I have these plus omega software but have been reluctant to get started as i dont know where to start and i get overwhelmed.

This is why Andor is so difficult. Parts like this are just awesome. On the other hand I could barely tolerate the children flashbacks, or the training to pretend to be soldiers, or the general redneck scenes where Cassian lived.

Everything he lists are the basic qualities of a healthy mind. Calm, kindness and kinship, inner peace, love. He's essentially stripped down the hierarchy of needs to the foundations. Luthen hasn't given up things. He's sacrificed the necessities of what it means to be alive.

The REASON I watch this show. #Munny

0:48 own that one

I made my mind a sunless space

@0:57 “What is m-, what is my sacrifice?!” He extends Lonni the courtesy of a response, but he’s exasperated at the question.

Going forward, every SW movie or show that Disney wants to put out needs to first pass the "Andor test" it's simple, the script has to be as good or better than this show. If they can stick to those standards. I'll forgive them for letting The acolyte on the airwaves

Who’s back here to cleanse their pallet after watching the acolyte?

WOO! Apparently I am the millionth viewer.

And now we got Osha and Mae

"I made my mind a sunless place, I share my dreams with ghosts" honestly describes my mental state at the current moment so incredibly well that I'd just wanna cry. 10/10 acting.

What are we going to do with you Ralph? You're only human after all ❤

I love that he could've just said "I've sacrificed everything" as a badass cliche But he actually means it and explains his inner turmoil

Wow I only just now realized this: Luthen says he wakes up to an equation he wrote 15 years ago for which there is only one conclusion. The series is set 5 BBY, which means Luke and Leia are 14 because they were 19 during ANH. And the twins were born when the Empire formed. This means Luthen figured out exactly what was going to happen a year before the Clone Wars ended.

Richard is acting in another octave here…

Plummer's little smirk at the last moment is such a cherry on top of this master act

I read the whole book in a few days after having my wisdom teeth out. I don't know if it was the pain meds or the book, but that experience was absolutely heavenly.

Colleen McCullough. I was riding with my father to Yale University, many years ago, where my mother worked in the purchasing department. We stopped to pick up a lady, known to both my parents. I was in my late teens. What did I know? It was Colleen. Years later, after fame came her way, she visited Yale for a book signing. My mother exclaimed her excitement at the opportunity to see Colleen...again - to her disbelieving colleagues. The warm greeting, and the personal message to my mother in a copy of "Thorn Birds" was proof enough.

Is there anyone who believes he was a better priest for breaking his vows to God and to Meg?

Two very attractive men.

“And what do you sacrifice?” “Calm, kindness, kinship, love… I’ve given up all chance of 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 fifteen years ago for 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 for which there’s no escape. I yearn to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time I look down, there’s 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. 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.”

Priests way back when more than a thousand years ago could get married but because they gave church property to their children? Thats a no-no so priests had to take vows. So again it has to do with money.

Too bad in real life he didn't like women.....

I have loved Richard Chamberlain for years

R.I.P Mr Christopher Plummer 1929-2021.

A few centuries earlier and he wouldn’t have had a problem. Popes, cardinals and priests were notorious for their involvement with women. They had numerous children. Some of these men more or less publicly acknowledged their kids and the mothers, others did not.

I enjoyed watching the series back in the 1980s, but it would be too hard to watch it again.

Wish I could wipe all memory of this show from my mind so I can experience watching it for the first time again. This show is an oasis in a desert of mostly shit shows and once you find it you will drink its healing creative waters deeply!

At first I thought Christopher had his hassock caught in his knickers

The power of the p###y 😂

guys , i had to go back to Andors for some healing after the fkin Acolyte
