Just so absolutely beautiful, the cost of stopping the empire is giving everything. Such phenomenal episode
Love how much personality the Army Troopers have equal to that of the random Rebels we see throughout the franchise, very different to how we see Stormtroopers as they feel like actual people rather than machines. Also love how we're actually seeing Army Troopers instead of Stormtroopers which makes since I'd imagine with the low risk they just stationed a few Army Troopers at the Dam while the Stormtroopers are stationed in the Air base as we do see some walking around behind the Tie Fighters. I've also linked the Stormtroopers to the Air/Navy as they're usually stationed on Star Destroyers or deployed from Star Destroyers to oversee a planet and city like we see in Rogue One. But for normal bases I can see those being made up of mostly Army Troopers it's just we rarely see in the films and who knows maybe the Empire pushed for more Stormtrooper deployment once the Rebellion kicked off.
From my understanding Army Troopers were first mentioned in a novel from 2015 post EU under Disney. The designs of their outfits though look similar to the AT-ST pilots in Return of the Jedi sharing the same militant outfit and helmet while General Veers from Empire Strikes Back while in command of the AT-AT also wears a similar helmet and chest armour over his outfit. No idea if those AT-ST pilots in Jedi were Army Troopers but nonetheless the Army Trooper style of outfit has been around since Empire and Jedi only difference being the lack of chest armour worn by the AT-AT pilots and the more light grey colouring compared to the darker outfits worn in this series. Should also mention that the Officer outfit from Battlefront 2 (2005) also wears a similar outfit having the chest armour over his officer outfit and the same helmet worn by General Veers.
Exactly....I love how they used the Imperial Source Book for this show, and how it shows the Imperial Army troopers looking as mentioned in it. The Imperial Army is not all Stormtroopers. I hope they keep Stormtroopers the same way in the book, considered elite shock troopers that supported both Navy and Army Troops, and only deployed in critical resistance areas.
Yes Stormtroopers are attached to the Navy for the Galactic Empire. They are similar to the marine corps in that they are more lightly armed force that depends on the Imperial Army for armour support and the Navy for air support.
As for army troopers (we see them in Solo on Mimban the mud planet). They were mostly conscripts or volunteers and are the main military fighting force of the empire. We never see them as stormtroopers are just easier to sell as "bad guys" due to them having helmets so they can remain nameless and as such they are perfect cannon fodder.
21:25 I feel you brother.
10:40 In Adam's defense Jay we're all trying to forget all about the Gungan City 🤣
Hell yeah my dudes. Hell yeah.
Nemik, man. I think we all saw it coming, but the dude literally saved the life and soul of the man who takes down the Death Star. RIP to a true Rebel
Right? He saw the promise in Cassian beyond his skill as a soldier when no one else did. RIP.
I agree!!!
At least he got a KILLER paycheck.
Too soon? Too soon. I'm sorry.
@@Hounlaiga you killed it! Dead on correct. Grave comments…
@@chuckgarcia2648 he aint gonna be in Rush Hour 3
Nemik's last words to Clem: "Climb!"
K2-S0's last words to Cassian: "Climb."
Thanks for fucking breaking my heart 😂
There’s definitely meaning in that. Nemik’s death was so sad. Not unexpected but still.
Perhaps it was intentional...perhaps K2SO will be reprogrammed by Cassian using Nemik as a baseline. His manifesto may be what gives him enough understanding of Nemik to be able to do that. Then Nemik could live on as a droid, at least in spirit. This would make K2SO's partnership/death even more meaningful.
I love the sentiment! However not really true. "Dive" comes after, then instructions to level out, a heading and some info about the right booster setting.
Definitely intentional. They are putting in lots of little things that foreshadow what happens in Rogue One... I'd put money on the line "Rebellions are built on hope" being in Nemik's manifesto. LOVE this show!!
I felt the tension in my guts through this entire episode. And showing Vel's fear at the decision point (so well acted)... magnificent.
My heart was pounding out of my chest throughout the last 15 minutes of this episode! I was just repeating “come on, come on, come on” on and of throughout the heist. The writing and directing was honestly some of the best I have ever seen not just in Star Wars but in any spy thriller tv series.
And even after all of this Cassian still has no hesitation to put down an enemy, even if they were once an ally. I’m so happy that they portray all these characters as being completely grey. With the exception of Nemik.😢
This show deserves as big of an audience as The Mandalorian.
I agree
No woke at all
@@malikayob730 lesbians, plus most imperials being white compared to the diverse rebels
This show is it. This is what we've been waiting for.
And you have dumbxss like the Star Wars Theory channel telling the show is mid because there are too much dialogues, no many Easter Eggs, no lightsabers, no mindless action, etc.
Jay's "Meesa thinks we've seen [characters underwater] before" had me cracking up!
The haunting echo of the blaster shot after Cassian kills Skeen is absolutely incredible.
That was easily one of the best episodes of TV I have ever watched. Not just in "Star Wars", in TV. Period. Absolutely phenomenal
“Keeping your Imperial drinks hot..AND OR..cold”
I love you Jay.
Was a Top tier pun.
The tension during this episode was insane. Can’t believe that I was more shocked by Cassian killing Skeel than Skeel’s proposal to steal the credits from the rebels.
Yah same. His betrayal was shocking but not that shocking. Cassian shooting him caught me by surprise. It was almost like he was saying you’re right, but screw you anyway.
It's some really good foreshadowing, go back and watch the action scene again and watch Skeel completely prioritize his own survival and get Taramyn killed by staying in cover and just not giving him the cover fire he requested.
Now, I don't know if this is a plot hole, or not... But Skeen admitted he can't fly the transport. That means unless he had a partner in the group aside from Andor (who he knew nothing about until the last minute) there was no way of him pulling a double cross theft of the heist prize. So, either this was just pure opportunism on his part, an unexpected plan... or he had a partner. But I don't see any of the group being his partner. Nemik is the idealist, not a chance of him betraying the cause. Likewise with Taramyn, the ex stormtrooper. He seemed to be dedicated to the cause. We know it wouldn't have been Vel, as she's the one he was set to betray. It could have been Lt. Gorn, who might also have been lying about his involvement with the native woman, but he genuinely seemed to have a soft spot for the people and guilt over his role amongst the Empire. Cinta is the most likely accomplice, as we still know very little about her other than she is pretty ruthless, but it couldn't have been her as the plan did not call for her to escape in the ship. That leaves no-one else.
So, I think Skeen just saw a chance he wasn't expecting to show up, and took a huge gamble on Andor being a typical 'credit driven merc'. But then, why would an obvious selfish, profit driven scumbag be involved in the cell/Rebellion in the first place (It's far too risky an endeavour)? It's a headscratcher in an otherwise impeccable episode.
@@robecoyote9136 My guess is that he made up the plan to betray them on the spot after Andor showed up.
@@robecoyote9136 you make some good points. Perhaps he was recruited by another rebel like Luthan and got in with the sob story about his brother. But I think he just took the opportunity when it arose. I mean he was probably pondering it beforehand, but I doubt he’d have risked it if the chance hadn’t presented himself. He probably thought Andor would be his accomplice. But maybe it was Sinta.
I swear every episode of this show it takes me like 5 whole seconds to remember what the title card is. EVERY TIME I'm like "oo we're starting in space with this episode?"
Lmao same
This show is absolutely delicious. The TIE fighter cockpit scenes were visually stunning and from episode one they have been consistent!! Omygod. Really fucking love this series! ❤
i loved that the empire's docking bay klaxon tied into the heist music at that point. just keeping the tension at that level the whole time
Same here imo this is what star wars needed so glad star wars Andor is it's own unique story and I love how it's taken a more serious route love this series ❤
I second the feelings at 22:56 This episode was fantastic!
And yes, you need the previous episodes to feel that.
I love that Cassian shoots first
Yeah but the jammer was a dud
its like his calling card at this point. he shoots the injured dude at the start of rogue 1. then (in the past) the guard in Ep 1. and now this guy. seems every few episodes he gets into a fix where he has to make that choice on the spot. it was the right call n all three situations mind you
he is the one who shoots
Adam is correct about Dick Grayson. In-universe he’s considered by the majority of heroes to be the best of all of them, including Superman, who chose Dick to be his son Jon’s mentor while Clark was off-world.
10/10, I was saying 9/10 but on the rewatch I gotta give it a 10! What an ass-puckerer of an episode indeed, they really nailed the payoff after the slow burn! Plus, wow The Waif (Vel) can act! She's been so good all the way through but her showing fear/nerves on the bridge before they jumped was SO GOOD, it didn't even feel like a movie but just watching someone actually freaking out and freezing in the moment, you could just feel your guts twisting with her! Gdamn!
For me it's her realizing that this is the point of no return. She wanted to be a leader and now it's all on her. Everything they been doing so far is coming down to this moment; do they go or not? No wonder she is hesitant and feeling sick, it's the scariest fucking decision she's ever had to make so far.
The heist arc is probably my favorite of the series. The great thing about the arc is that we were filled in on the plan, watched them train for it, but when it went down we didn't know they were taking hostages and using the skeleton crew to load the credits and that kept the tension going. Excellent storytelling.
Since I watched this at midnight I've been waiting to see how you two felt about this episode. I haven't watched this yet but I bet you loved it as much as I did
(Condescending) "Uh, meesa thinks we've seen it before." 😂😂😂
Love the Meesa response to him asking "have we ever seen an underwater scene in star wars before?"
The scene of them being chased by the tie’s thru the commit storm was once one the best looking visuals in the entirety of Star Wars
So beautiful. I looked at my wife during this and said that is one of the best shots in Star Wars.
When was that? And what is it now?
This was filmed in Scotland the story line of the indigenous people resembles the highland clearances of the 1700’s in Scotland and the meteor shower is I think a homage to the Scottish Aurora Borealis which is worth googling as it is genuinely as amazing and happens most nights throughout the winter when meteor skip the ionosphere
The dam sequence...she didn't want to start because she knew this was probably the last time either forever, or in a long time she wouldn't see her lover again.
Wait hold up what did I miss?? Who's her lover?!
@@zoestarbuck9892 Cinta
For me it's also her realizing that this is the point of no return. She wanted to be a leader and now it's all on her. Everything they been doing so far is coming down to this moment; do they go or not?
Jay's giggling when he sees "Dick" in the book is so valid
There’s a part of all of us that’s still 10...
My grandfather was Richard but went by Dick, which still feels weird to say.
@@dalepak1955To quote LEGO Batman: Kids can be cruel.
"Is that the kid from Pinocchio?? All hail the Craig-Slayer!"
Me, having no idea what they are talking about: "Haha that's funny 🙂"
😂 House of the Dragon episode 4
This episode was so good. Nemik’s story was so beautiful and tragic. And the action and tension was amazing. Aside from Cassian and maybe Vel there was no guarantee anyone would survive. And the tie fighter sequence gave me Mando s2 finale vibes.
Been waiting all day for this reaction!
Vel had a lot going on in her brain. That's why she didn't really have her head in the game when they were waiting for her "go" signal.
1) It's the first mission she's ever been in charge of from beginning to end.
2) She's still on edge about the curveball that Luthen threw at her with Cassian.
3) She's worried she'll never see Cinta again (among other personal feelings, probably).
4) Just the sheer, perfectly normal dread any sane person experiences when doing something this stupid (Necessary, and somewhat well-planned...but still stupid. Taking on a foe like the Empire is always stupid, no matter what...but sometimes it needs to be done, no matter the cost).
Yes! All this! And this is clearly the point of no return for this mission. All that planing, all the potential risk, possibly sending everyone to their death (it's all fun and games to train and talk about risking your life but when it's real...) and also the thought of the potential reward. And it's all on her in that very moment. She is the leader. She need to decide: go or no go.
My friends, I dare say this is almost a new genre within Star Wars.
So much to unpack…
Awesome episode! Anxiety was through the roof beginning to end. 10/10 Space Hamiltons! 👍🏼
First time I felt tense throughout a star wars episode/movie in a very long time.
One of the best things Star Wars ever did was hire Tony Gilroy. That was so good, I wished it was a movie so I could see it on a big screen.
"It fights other radios" Dammit guys I almost spit beer on my monitor!
Such a Great Episode and we still have 6 to go! So many great scenes!
This is just going to get more intense.
Episode 6 proves the importance of buildup and investment by rewarding patience to the fullest impact.
"Keeps drinks warm Andor cold"
Amazing episode but should have been called "The Aldhani job"
Why, exactly? That’s extremely boring. Maybe the arc as a whole could be called that but “the Eye” is interesting, relevant to and indicative of the episode, and it has multiple. It refers to the phenomenon and could also be referring to Cassian’s eye being opened to the idea of rebellion. And to the heist opening eyes across the galaxy, within and without the Empire.
The episodes leading up to this episode is like smoking meat. Yes you have the wait and it's a slow process but at the end of the day, the end product is PERFECT
Nemik's death absolutely crushing
dunno, it left me a bit flat!
This deserves more likes. 🤣
🤨 You did not just... well put!
Idk man. Personally, I didn’t feel a thing 😉
@@ImTheReverse especially the legs
I’ve been waiting ALL DAY for this
I popped out 6 infinity stones watching this episode. Damn the tension on this show is just top notch
That cockpit fight was like the tower scene in saving private Ryan
I burst into tears at the end of this episode, ones of joy. To me, the very essence of Star Wars is the Rebellion. It's not the Jedi, it's not Bounty Hunters (no matter what cool armour they wear). It's the Rebel Alliance. That was the core of the original trilogy. The underdog fight against the monolithic Empire. From 1983 after RotJ, we had nothing....*nothing* (except for Splinter of the Minds Eye and 6 sub par 'Adventures of Han or Lando' novels) for four years until the release of the West End Games RPG in 1987. (In which, you played Rebel Operatives and Rebel Cells, just like we saw in this story arc). The big boom of EU novels didn't happen until 1991. The big Jedi lore drop didn't take place until TPM in 1999 (at which point they took over as the main focus). The Rebellion is the *core essence*, the foundation of what is Star Wars. And we finally have it back in focus, and exquisitely done.
"I really hope he makes it further into the show". Hold my rack of imperial credits.
When Nemik said "Climb! Climb!" did that remind you of K2's last words? "Climb! Climb!"
"Imagine if Earth had something like that"
We do! there's no other planet that we know of that has solar eclipses like we do, where the moon exactly covers the sun and gives it that halo
Always most excited for your guys' reaction
This is what happens when you use real professionals and not Robert Rodriguez. You get actual build up and pay off and internal logic that tracks. You have actual characters and not action figures. You get interesting plots with twists that aren’t written by a 7th grade theatre kid.
I love it. I need more. I wish more folks were watching so they make more.
I can’t not even fathom how this show ended up being so damn good and BOBF and Kenobi ended up being so damn bad
Fantastic show. Better than Obi-Wan and Boba Fett by far. Only the Mandalorian is close to this.
I'm just so happy they didn't bury the gay: they hunted at Vel and Cinta and then showed it.
Sidebar: in both Rebels and Legends, the Ghorman massacre is what sends Mon Mothma to fill rebellion. Just...amazing set up.
I sure hope Skeen wasn't just testing Andor! That was my first thought.
That would be AWKWARD xD
No, he explained it very clear; he is just trying to survive and in his experience you don't survive by helping others but by helping yourself. He saw himself in Andor and realized there was an opportunity to leave with all those sweet credits. That's why the show is so fucking good, all the characters are so well written, they are grounded in their perception of the world and make decisions based on their previous experience and what drives them, not because the script need them to. It's such a pure character driven drama and I love it.
Pretty sure that when Cassian reads Nemik's manifesto, he'll see the words, "Rebellions are built on hope."
Oh man, I'd never thought of that. Walter White would make an AWESOME Imperial
The TIE launch sequence, with the klaxon blaring, took me alllllll the way back to 1994 and playing TIE Fighter as an early teen. I've been waiting for that kind of a shot for almost 30 years!
The Eye was f**king GORGEOUS
This channel is so stupid... Never change you beautiful humans 💚
Rogue One is my favourite war movie after 1917. This is my favourite heist project. I cannot wait to see the process of Andor's change into a true rebel.
Funny you should focus on "planetary retaliation" and that this episode should drop the SAME WEEK Russia is striking multiple cities in Ukraine for the bombing of its bridge between Crimea and Russia.
This episode took me back to Empire Strikes Back!
I'm in my low 50s. I waited in line with my dad to see Empire Strikes Back. My entire childhood and most of my life has been resounding with Star Wars and Star Wars 'stuff'.
I honestly think this is the best Star Wars ever.
Anyone else thinking Nemik kinda sounded like K2-S0 there with that word "Climb!"?
We saw underwater in Obi-Wan too.
Jay...please stop smoking brother. If you're not a smoker, my god. See a doctor.
This show manages to retroactively make the original trilogy an even better story! 👏 👏 👏
nobody mentioning the music yet. the heist music ties into the locals singing which ties into the empire's docking station klaxons. feckin stellar job
Andor has Ferrix, where the locals bang bin lids as the law arrives, and Aldhani, where the highland people are cleared to the lowlands by a colonial power.
It's hard not to notice the Britnat parallels.
"On the edge of my seat" is a popular saying but I literally caught myself about to slide off my couch onto the floor during the tie fighter chase scene. Holy shit.
Man, this show looks so good in comparison to Obi-Wan. I.e. this dam is a real dam somewhere dressed to look star-warsy.
I’ll never get over our socialist king getting literally crushed by capital 😭
Adam's right about Nightwing's cake. Even Harley and Ivy have complimented him about that.
"I wish Earth had something like that".
I mean, the Aurora Borealis?
Why is it that when a Star War finally comes out that seems to be really well liked by most of the viewers half the fanbase isn't watching? Lol I know Mando is well liked, but idk how much of that is thanks to Grogu. Andor didn't cheat. It's just genuinely great. Not perfect, but more people need to give it a chance.
"I'm Clem!" :D
The symbolism of the idealist being crushed to death by literal money is such good writing.
It was really good, i still find myself not caring about the characters though
I'd rate this episode 10 out of 10 diamonds. Woooo. Unda pressha!
7:27 Lol the Yeti line is so true! I bet they call them ‘Wampa Mugs’ in the StarWars universe.
EDIT: Dude, Jay was on fire with the comedy today.
Andor > Rogue One > New Hope > Empire > Jedi > Mandalorian is A+ Star Wars
I still love what comes before Andor and after Mando, but we definitely have a sweet spot
I thought you were saying was greater than Rogue One which is greater than A New Hope…etc etc. I was about to say!!
Adam eating his words again saying Andor would be bad. Told you it would be the best Star War show to date man.
I think you guys are the only reactors that don't dig the lettering intro! I would watch it every week along with my dad, and never got tired of it!
I was like DAMN THE EMPIRE IS EVIL at that “tribal idiots” conversation, but then I realized that’s just the British.
This episode was tense asf. When the heist didn't happen last ep I was hoping this one was gonna be a slapper. It didn't disappoint. Now what's gonna happen with stellen skarsgard & try hard Trent? Find out next time on Dragonball Z!
Dhani leader is Scottish actor David Heyman.
0:31 Yes! I actually realized this last week after the episode. witch is pretty star warsy, wouldn't you say? having the story in a trilogy?
5:16 I think it's good they have this intro, it forces me to realign my brain and get ready for the shows tempo and not be too antsy to get to the thing.
10:42 A perfect way of reminding Adam about the live action underwater stuff in episode I
12:15 Yeah, I thought the same thing Adam
16:13 "WOW!" indeed Jay, indeed.
16:29 Yep, that is amazing. also, that is something we have not seen live action before, a Pilot entering a TIE.
21:23 Yeah, I thought about you guys when I saw it, from the moment you noted "Oh, He dead" as soon as he started talking about that manifesto of his.
So many dead! Only Kassian and the two Ladies survived.
I have not heard "my butt is making so many diamonds right now" before, but I like it!
“That’s the good shit!” 👍🏾☝️👌🎯
That whole 5 minutes after the show where the guys were just, "This is good. Wow this is good. This shit is so good."... man, relate so much. Felt some sort of afterglow after watching is ep!
Gratuitous pedantry moment: they’re meteors. Meteoroid/asteroid is the term for when they’re still in space; meteor is used when they’re flying through the atmosphere; and meteorite is for after they hit the ground.
I feel bad for the people missing out on this Star Wars
Fantastic! Poor space Hamilton but it makes sense for Andor to carry on adding to the manifesto. Beautiful location too. 🙏
I was completely stunned when Cassian shot that guy. I don't think I've ever had such a huge, visceral, yet completely silent and aback moment watching anything in a while.
I knew we were going to get a Jay raspy laugh at the end of this & a fully stunned Adam. This episode was WILD! 💕
First one! Hell yeah! Been looking forward to this all day!
Loved your reaction as always, guys. Thanks for being such a refreshing source of joy and positivity in the fandom.
I’m here for the Hamilton references
This show is so wonderful. I love watching these beautiful scenes and saying "what a shot. I can't wait to see Adam and Jay see this."
GET IT RIGHT! SPACE AK4,700,000,000 LOL
Spamilton is the first true martyr for the rebellion.
