- WE"RE REACTING TO ANDOR FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!
In an era filled with danger, deception, and intrigue, Cassian will embark on the path that is destined to turn him into a Rebel hero.
About Star Wars Andor:
Andor, also known as Star Wars: Andor, is an American science fiction television series created by Tony Gilroy for the streaming service Disney+.
Beginning five years before the events of Rogue One (2016) and A New Hope (1977), the series follows an ensemble cast of characters during the time that a Rebel Alliance is forming in opposition to the Galactic Empire. One of these characters is Cassian Andor, a thief who becomes a revolutionary and eventually joins the Rebellion.
Andor was a vital part of Rogue One, the team that ultimately succeeded in obtaining the Death Star plans from the Imperial facility and uploading them to the Rebel Alliance. He and every member of Rogue One gave their lives to save billions of others.

Are you ready for the finale? Don’t forget to leave a LIKE if you enjoyed the series so far!
The finale was my favorite episode 🔥 No spoilers though
I agree that the finale is amazing. Marching band nerd here was proud.
The question is are YOU ready for the finale. The one thing about episode 12 that really sucks is that there is no episode 13.
Yeah... straight away please :D
Kim, have a box of tissues handy. I loved it so much, but my wife and I held eachother crying while we watched. 💔
Let's call it... a well-written show.
"Call it what you will..."
30 well written characters... And Kreegyr
@@liaml.e.5964 It's 30 well-written monologues ... plus "never more than 12"
Well written in parts but not particularly original lol😬
@@shiykyk7538 neither was the original Star Wars - just a dressed up version of Wizard of Oz, mixed with the silent classic Wings (whose cockpits - flown for real - look exactly like a TIE Fighter cockpit, blatant copying!)
Even John Williams' music was borrowed very much from Gustav Holst's Planets Suite ... almost to the exact note when it came to the large scale Death Star scenes (such as "Chewie - lock in the auxilary power!" and the chords leading to its destruction)
STar waRS has always been about taking classic stories and translating them into a science fiction setting
In this case - Andor gives us the "spy thriller" (never done properly before in Star Wars - I call that "original"!), but also adds on a terrific version of "the heist", and an amazing version of "the prison escape" and one other superb trope (no spoilers .. until next episode)
Most stories are bound to be retreads of something that went before - it's how you present them that makes the difference, and Andor does each of its "unoriginal" tropes beautifully! :)
The reason why Luthen never specified if it was 30 or 50 men with Kreegyr is because he doesn't want to reveal that he knows more information more than he chooses to reveal, never show all your cards
Plus, Saw said 30 and feels unsure about letting them die, why correct him to tell him *more* will die when you want him to let it go
And how incredible was Diego Luna’s acting in that final scene? I have never seen a better portrayal of the realism of a moment like that- the total numbing shock of receiving incomprehensible bad news. Then he tries to be so stoical in front of Melshi… putting on that slightly aggressive resting face of his. But for a few seconds where they hug, and Melshi can’t see his face, you can see his eyes go wide with grief. And his voice cracks too when he says “Everything Ok”. I’ve watched this scene quite a few times and I bawl every single time. Nicholas Britell’s amazing music helps with that too.
Whats perfect about Andor?
"EVERYTHING."
It really was an incredible job. I had an almost identical experience when I learned that my mother had passed away. You don't want to burden the friend you're with, but you are still feeling the grief. Incredibly well done by everyone involved with this scene.
That ending was so devastating. The Empire has taken everything from Cassian including his last goodbye to his mother.
An important point about the scene where Luthen escapes from the Imperial ship is that his method of breaking free of the tractor beam is actually a metaphor for how he sees the Rebellion. He pushes harder and harder against it, forcing the Imperials to increase its strength so that when Luthen finally releases the countermeasures, they will have a more devastating effect.
I love how that for even with the action sequences the writing is just so damn sharp.
If you didn't know, the choice around spellhause really happened. The popular legend is that during the second world war, Winston Churchill received a notice from his code breakers that a massive air raid was being planned by the Germans to attack the city of Coventry. However, Churchill feared if they evacuated the settlement, the Germans would realize that the British had cracked Enigma (the German code) and would default to a new one. With the war so uncertain, the impossible choice was made to allow the raid to hit unchallenged so that they could continue to spy on the enemies movements. 600 people died.
That, however, is mostly legend, as most modern scholars accept that though the air raid did take place, that the codebreakers had simply failed to figure out where the attack was going to land. The truth is that the choice was still made, but it was in regards to a set of Royal navy ships, a hard military target, not a town full of women and children, that Churchill threw onto the pyre to hide that the Enigma was compromised. Still a horrifying thing to contemplate though
wouldnt put it past winston churchill anyways
I read somewhere calling the writing in Andor it's own special effect. It doesn't rely on multimillion dollars for CGI to convey meaning. It packs it all in the words the characters say. And no better example than the finale.
So incredibly tragic that Cassian missed Maarva by… a day? I think she probably died at the same time as Cassian was orchestrating the breakout. The tragic moments in this series are so ironic. The connection to Rogue One is exceptionally poignant. Cassian is just a little bit too late to tell his mother that she would be proud of him. But he realises later that she would be. So before he dies on Scarif he tells Jyn Erso : “Your father would be proud of you”. The visual call-forward to Rogue One, with the light of a “sun” over a beach, makes the ending of this episode feel like some kind of beautiful but sad poem - the series is doing a masterful job of making connections to the final stages of Cassian‘s story.
Also the repeated instance of a character in his vicinity saying to climb shortly before dying (Nemik telling him to climb in the escape craft in episode 6, Kino Loy telling all the prisoners to climb during the prison escape in episode 10, and K-2SO while holding off the stormtroopers in Rogue One).
Luthen and Saw's dilemma is probably based on the possibly appcryphal story about the bombing of Coventry in WW2.
The UK had cracked the German Enigma code, and learned about a forthcoming bombing raid on the city of Coventry, and chose to let it go ahead, rather than reveal they'd cracked the code and intercepted the information.
Brasso may be the most fundamentally decent person in Star Wars.
Andor has great writing and, particularly, four outstanding speeches to its credit.
Two, you have already seen (Luthen's and Kino's), the last two will leave a mark on you, I can promise you that
Star Wars trivia: The Imperial ship that catches Luthen in a tractor beam and he then wrecks is based on early concept art for Star Destroyers before they went with the iconic design we’re all familiar with. This ship type also appears in a deleted scene in Solo A Star Wars Story
Also the ship type, Cantwell class, is named in memory of Colin Cantwell who came up with this design and also the original concepts for the TIE fighter and X-wing.
50 vs 30 men aside, Luthen repeatedly adding, "plus Kreegyr", is very powerful. It shows how he does truly value human life. 'No, its not just 30 men, its 30 plus Kreegyr'. It bothers him enough to correct Saw many times. I personally think increasing the men to 50 was strategic; Luthen had a reason to inflate the number for Lonni. I think his interaction with Saw, on the other hand, is one of the few times you see Luthen's mask come off. You finally see how the weight of the decision bewilders him.
New idea: Luthen figured out a way to save 20 men between these scenes. He somehow maneavoured some group out of the deal thus saving some vital lives.
But then it also does make sense he inflated it to Lonni, to make Lonni think the sacrifice made on his behalf was even bigger and thus him walking away costs even more pointless deaths.
I think that 50 is likely the more accurate figure, Lonni had access to the ISB findings from the rebel pilot they interogated. Saws' knowledge of Krega's cell is likely just out of date but Luthen has no reason to correct him when he says "30" it would just make the prospect of not warning Krega that much harder to sell.
Luthen also says the sky crystal he gives to Andor is worth 50k while Skeen says it’s 30k. When Skeen says it he’s accusing Andor, so he’d have reason to over estimate. It seems like Luthen has a tendency to inflate values by 2/3rds.
@@ErzengelDesLichtes great catch!!
the aliens at the beginning are space Newfies, you can tell by how they talk.
They also sound like they are from the West Country here in the UK … the good kind folk of Devon and Cornwall! It’s great to hear that accent from these strange looking alien brothers. Mysie my!
Luthen assistant is almost as big a mystery as Luthen himself.
She is clearly almost equal to Luthen. Like a business partner.
And as she tells Vel, she has ALWAYS been on the fight, not only doing something "lately"
Maybe she is Cassian's long lost sister 🤯
The mirroring between Andor looking out across the ocean on Niamos towards the sunlight, and him later looking out across the ocean on Scarif towards the light of the Death Star's blast is incredible.
The sunset gaze must be a homage to Rogue One, and obviously A New Hope. In Rogue One it's when Cassian tells Jyn he father would have been proud while they look out at across the water into the light of oblivion while he probably thinks about how proud his mother would be. 😢
According to some other sharp eye viewer, the fellow escapee became a sargent in the rebel Alliance and was part of the strike team in rogue One.
Yes - I'm thrilled for the actor who plays him ...
He gets to be in two of the best Star Wars - but this time, a memorable character who was clearly made of the right stuff even when in jail for ages
The incompetence of the empire is so well shown lololololol. LIKE Y'ALL HAD HIM ALL THIS TIME
Andor looking at a bright light at the horizon its so bittersweet, feels like any major milestone of his life ends that way , and earlier in this episode you can see what resemblances an aztec solar calendar,Diego Luna being mexican and luther speaking of the sunrise he is never gonna see, i dont think thats a coincidence there is a theme bout the sun, like Andor is the sunset of the rebellion ,while Luke is the sunrise, both edges of the imperial night
I make a joke of tracking how long until you see a lightsaber, and in Andor it’s this episode that you see Luthen’s double-bladed space ship. 😆 You are one of the few reactors I’ve seen that also say it was lightsabers on a spaceship.
32:34 I was so looking forward to Kim's reaction. Was not disappointed.
I'm not sure if you caught it, but Bix was definitely broken down by the torture pretty quickly. Whatever the screams of those dying people sound like, it clearly has an effect that can't be resisted, and that's why she screamed the way she did. In a later scene in that same episode, Dedra's assistant shares the information Bix did give (he shaved), so she talked to some degree, even if it wasn't just spilling everything outright.
That’s quite chilling, as by the time she is brought before the hologram of Kreegyr It seems like she is too far gone to say anything comprehensible . Which makes me think she has had “ multiple listenings” that “ cause the most damage” - growing less coherent each time. The poor woman. She’s a wreck.
@36:14 "You could use the practice alright." Tssssss! Ya burnt?!
That was such a fun and surprising bit of space fighting.
It was not necessary for Luthen to tell Saw about sacrificing Kreegyr. If Luthen had not responded to Saw, Saw would have simply just missed the "party." But Luthen wanted Saw to agree with sacrificing Kreegyr. Luthen shares the burden of the decision.
Saw would have been there and Luthan needs Saw.
@@stevemcgowen Saw didn't know when to coordinate with Kreegyr. He needed that information from Luthen. He also wouldn't have gone without having his payment arrangement confirmed.
That's not an option if Luthen wants to continue working with Saw. If Luthen just ghosts Saw until the Spellhaus attack and he hears about the outcome from somewhere else, it makes Luthen really look like an ISB plant.
@@Aliensjpg I think Saw got ghosted a lot by all the various rebel groups because he was too unpredictable and too paranoid. Saw never joined the Alliance.
Luthen told his spy 50 men just like he told him that he had nothing to do with Aldhani - he never wants his spy to have fully correct information in case something goes wrong with him. The real number is 30 men... plus Kreegyr
Is it though? 🤔😇
@@phil0934to obscure information that is no longer relevant is a way to hide where you get this information. If you have let others know you have the exact information, that would be the same as telling them you have an insider, and closely connected, that means they can narrow down your informant. But if your information sounds a bit inaccurate, that means you possibly got the information from the 4th to 6th person...it's like that Telephone Game/Chinese whisper game.
@@TARS20 My comment only meant, that we, the viewers, and no character aside Luthen probably knows the true number. Oh and the empire after they counted the bodies, but the show never gives us the concrete number. :)
Another wonderful reaction i was waiting for you to resume play when Vel was throwing Aldahni in Kleya's face. It was a "wait for it...." moment. Thanks for making the rewatch of this S tier show so enjoyable. Brasso would be a happy man with you as his wife.
felt so jealous of Brasso the whole video
Lol same
I love your little intros, really set the mood!
You’re going to lose it during the finale.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching this series again with you. 👍🏻
Yes, to Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford's best character ever.
Luthen and Saw made the correct choice, and the one I would make
thank you again for the great reaction, Kim! also thank you for making me realize what Luthen was doing with the changing, shifting numbers of Kreegyr's crew. it was probably 50 men (as stated by Lonni at the ISB), but either he told Saw 30 on purpose, or Saw thought that was how many men Kreegyr had by mistake and Luthen didn't correct him-- 30 men is a lot different than 50 and Saw might not have been so on board with standing by and letting 50 menwalk into a trap. that is wy Luthen keeps repeating 'plus Kreegyr' whenever Saw brings it up. fascinating decision on his part because a) luthen absolutely does not have to tell Saw that ISB knows about Spellhaus. that was a risky move on his part. and b) he intentionally lies in order to ensure that Saw would not go.
this show is just so damn good and so interesting! i cannot wait to see what you think about the finale!!
I missed the premeire again 🥺🥺I just love your love for this lovely show that I love. This is also the episode that made me completely fall in love with Brasso.
Kleya is so cool and relatable to me. Great analysis of her. 💖
That Cantwell-Class Arrestor Cruiser design looks pretty unique. Apparently Ralph McQuarry, who designed the artwork for the original trilogy, created the concept art when designing the Imperial Star Destroyer.
Colin Cantwell designed it - naming it after him in-universe serves as a very nice little tribute. He died in the spring of 2022.
Oh. I see. Sorry for the mistake!
@@alessiocapone9816 No apology needed - I just thought it was a lovely little tribute . It’s such a cool design - very threatening looking.
Cannot wait for you to see the finale. Along with episodes 6 and 10, it's tied as my favorite of the series. And the post credit scene is perfect.
Ooooooo we will get to say goodbye to Marva! Just you wait! I love your Andor reactions. You and Andor are my favorite things on the internet!
OH! While I think of it.... this show gave me a brilliant idea for what is to be "done with me" after I become "one with The Force'. I knew a long time ago that I wanted to be cremated, but idea of "being bricked" is fantastic, and I love it! My wife is allowed to have a portion of my ashes (assuming I go first), but the rest, mix me in concrete and make a stone with my name, dates, and one of my sayings (I'll decide on that, later). Hell, if my wife wants to use me as her headstone, I'd be fine with that, too.
I think it would be the perfect way to memorialize me, and if she does the headstone, it would memorialize both of us.
I couldn't mention this prior to this episode, as it would have been a spoiler. But since it's mentioned in this episode, I can finally reveal that.
I kinda feel like I would watch you react to anything at this point
Only now i noticed the shady banker is named Davo Sculdum. The surname starting with an S makes the first name sound like DAVOS...
you know, the same name as the city where the World Economic Forum, takes place annually
"Davos is perhaps best known today for hosting the World Economic Forum, an annual meeting of global political and corporate leaders."
Got to say - I really like the idea of a Ferrix funeral
Another great TAKE! ✌️
All intelligence operations have their Kleya's and their Vell's: the Field Handlers and the the Operations Co-ordinators.
You need to keep a clear mentallity when interacting with the rest of the chain-of-command. Especially whilst under a hostile survaillance.
I may not be Military-material or even Intelligence-material, for that matter, but even I know this basic knowledge!
I always like to think that what Luthen's haulcraft does in this episode is what the Millennium Falcon could do twice over if it wasn't a poorly-maintained piece of junk.
Everytime I see the scene where Luthen escapes I feel sad for the stormtrooper squad that was riding in the TIE Boarding Craft (the bomber looking thing that gets destroyed first). Literally no chance to do anything about it, because you aren't even the pilot of that thing. And I imagine how "interesting" was their assignment prior to this situation that even the captain said they could use the practice. Some boring mission light years away from your family and then you get vaccumed into space for nothing. That craft can't even pursuit or hurt Luthen's ship.
Fight the Empire!!!
Saying it's 30 men also makes the decision a little easier on Saw.
What's better? Sacrifice 30 men? 50? 500? 10 thousand?
Anyway, afaik, Saw didn't like Krieger very much. He even said in a previous episode Krieger is a separatist. And there story goes back to the clone wars
It might be Saw thinks sacrificing 30 men is worse than sacrificing Krieger.
Is it, though? So which information is actually right? 30 or 50? One can argue Luthen lied to Saw to protect his informant. Precise information can narrow down your informant's position, while obscure information makes it difficult to know where you got that information. Kinda like that Telephone Game/Chinese Whisper.
Woohoo! Been waiting for this one! Thanks, Kim!
Love the way you pronounce Cassian "Cashian" 😂
And his sister, Cashew
@@liaml.e.5964 ?? you're nuts
As a piece of classic Star Wars - the Arrestor Cruiser scene is up there with the best scenes in Empire Strikes Back.
Credit to the actor who plays the commander - he was suitably pompous and shitty!
... and lucky - such failure would have meant being force-choked by Darth Vader just a few years later
This was another amazing analysis of the penultimate episode. I am so looking foward to the finale and all your thoughts on it.
I'd marry Brasso, and I'm a strait male. 😂
Another loss Cassian suffers at the shore. First Martha then the end of Rogue 1...
Surprised i havent seen diego luna in every hit project there is cause he's an unbelievable actor
Bruh, hes excellent.
Thank you, Kim! 🕸 One more in this season to go. Don't forget about the post credit scene in Episode 12.
Thank you so much Kim✨Had a wonderful time watching as always👌💫Take care and until next week🎼Have a Nice Day🌺💝💫🚀
Kim did you watch the 2003 2d animated cartoon shorts, Star Wars the Clone Wars ? pts 1 and 2, it is 25, 3 minute cartoon shorts, that tell what happens in between the attack of the clones movie and the revenge of the sith movie, the 2008 series is 3d cg and takes place inside a montage sequence in the 2003 2d cartoon. , the 2003 2d cartoon is both on youtube on someone's playlist and also it is on disney plus
Marva will get the last word.
I’d give my life savings to hear her say “top of the morning to ya laddies”
Something to consider about Mon's marriage. Her (Mon's) family is clearly the senior to her husband's, as her husband had an aspiring military career that he was forced to shelve so that Mon could pursue her political ambitions. The trope of a man packing his wife and family up to a far flung government post for ambition and glory is commonly told and often with a great deal of sympathy to a spouse suffering along side so the husband can pursue that ambition, and it's the same here just with the genders reversed. The husband was taken away from his career, his friends, his family to serve Mon's ambition, and Mon's political career is very much a thorn in the side of many other senators no doubt making social life difficult at times. His devil may care attitude and vices to me are very understandable, and it's not like he's a horrible person, his daughter clearly loves him. He's flawed like everyone else. I feel that because of how amazing Mon's character is and that the husband character is a male, causes most people to overlook that and just assume he's an unmitigated jerk, when there are absolutely mitigating circumstances for his petulant attitude in my opinion. I'm not saying he's a morally wonderful person, just that he doesn't deserve the venom I see a lot of reactors and commentators heap on him. My 2c.
Thanks for a take ive never heard before but definitely makes sense.
If you loose 50,000 troops 4 50 men…plus Krieger… you ain’t a good general. Unfortunately in #war ….it sadly becomes a numbers game! #Spok ….sacrifice the 1…2 save the many 😢
Part of me wants Keno to pop up again next season, but I am also okay with his story ending the way it did.
