Disney+ Star Wars: Andor with Diego Luna (1 Viewer)

Showing the first two episodes is an interesting strategy. Viewers of season one are aware it takes three episodes to complete the initial setup of the series. By only showing two episodes and essentially leaving viewers (sort of) hanging; will that drive subscriptions?

One of the twitter replies makes the same observation, BTW.

Also, I realize that they pretty much have to start at the beginning but I'd argue that those two episodes are the weakest of the series.

Skarsgard doesn't even show up until the very end of the second episode, either, and he's a huge player in the show's subsequent narrative.

As someone who likes when Star Wars mellows out and is silly, I wholeheartedly endorse this bad idea.

and this evil red Yoda is baby Yoda's father and we end up with the Skywalker saga all over again but instead of humans, it's a bunch of Yodas.

I haven’t posted in this thread as I’ve been behind from the start. My wife and I watched the first episode on the night it premiered and have been steadily watching one per week since, but we finally started to watch it a tad more often so we could get caught up in order to be “current” going into the final two episodes.

My general thought is that it’s absolutely amazing! Maybe not as good as The Mandalorian, but it’s kind of hard to compare it to that (or really to Star Wars as a whole) because of how different and unique it is. But this is WAY better than the Obi-wan show, which I think wasn’t done very well. This uses the medium of a tv series structure WAY better than Obi-wan did, and IMO, Obi-wan really should have just been a 2-hour or so movie.

Cannot wait to see how the season concludes and will miss it until the second (final?) season hits in almost two years.

S1E11 - "Daughter of Ferrix"

Once again the show goes a few places that I didn't expect. This episode features a very fractured narrative in terms of a lot of jumps between story lines and locations that further the narrative of season one.

Spoiler

The show opens on a brief moment with Cassian and Melshi eluding Imperial surveillance and then cuts to Ferrix.

We see, from B2EMO's perspective, Maarva's friends and associates dealing with her passing. B is not coping very well and I really felt sorry for the little droid.

Back on Narkina 5, Cassian and Melshi get some rather unexpected assistance and depart the local area.

The jumps in the narrative continue with scenes on Ferrix, Coruscant, and Saw Gerrera's outpost.

In an earlier episode Dedra Meero tells Bix (paraphrasing) when you cast a net sometimes you don't get a fish. The commander of the Imperial Patrol that interdicts Luthen's ship finds this out in a great action sequence. If Jame Bond existed in the SW universe he could only wish that he had Luthen's ship.

In a rather somber ending Cassian gets word from Ferrix of Maarva's passing. The music and the shot of the ocean and sky was very evocative of the beach scene at the finale of Rogue One.

One episode left...

So, I expect Cassian will travel to Ferrix for Maarva's funeral and Cinta will encounter him there and assist him in evading capture by the ISB. Syril Karn will no doubt be there as well and I wonder what part he will play. It will probably go very wrong for him.

One other note, I was honestly surprised that Cassian was able to retrieve his assets from the hotel. Seemed very unlikely but maybe the cleaning staff at the establishment isn't very proficient.

Also, not sure what that club-like weapon that Luthen was carrying might be, but I am fairly confident we will see it being employed somewhere down the road. (During his entry to Saw Gerrera's outpost. "Put it down or give it back.")

Continues to be great.

Wow. Amazing episode. That tractor beam sequence was absolutely epic. Looks like all the pieces are in place for the finale. I too, was wondering how in the hell the case full of money was still there. That was the one thing that took me out of the episode.

I'm really wondering if the event that started off the entire series (Cassian looking for his sister) is going to be addressed, resolved, or forgotten completely.

At the end we see Cassian Andor running with another escapee. We don't find out whether Kino Loy escapes or not as we find he can't swim. Something tells me he manages to escape and we'll see him before the end of the series.

I don't think so. This isn't a "happy ending for everyone" SW series.

 

[joshEH]

Well. Luthen sure showed them.

 

[TravisR]

[HARDCORE NERD]Thumbs up to the Colin Cantwell reference with the class name of the cruiser.[/HARDCORE NERD]

 

[Patrick Sun]

That score at the end of episode was so somber and haunting.

Wonder who Luthen's Q is.

This isn't a TV show, it's cinema.

 

[Randy Korstick]

Another great episode. Really looking forward to the finale next week but not looking forward to the long wait for Season 2 after.

 

[Sam Favate]

Great episode. I’ve loved the show from the beginning, although I wonder how they’ll wrap it up next week. There are a lot of stories going on. But boy, this is just about the best Star Wars has ever been.

 

[JimmyO]

I really love the gravitas that Skarsgard brings to his role. He's easily one of my favourite actors that has been in any Star Wars thing.

 

[Sam Favate]

Star Wars shows rarely do this, but...

.... and it's going to be pretty awesome. I think if everyone here posted their top three guesses, most of us would guess what that post credits scene is.

 

[Greg.K]

Red Yoda!

 

[Jeff Cooper]

All the things they were assembling in the prison being put together to make their final form?
