RIP Brasso. Cinta is stone cold, as reinforced again in the last episode of the first season, so Tay's presence may not grace the screen for much longer. But glad to see her make an appearance.
SW has had some rough patches, but the franchise has always had a high standard of world building.
I know some have complained about the hapless Millenial Rebels, but they also served a purpose. Yavin will look quite different in a few years.
Gilroy has had a love/hate relationship with making this series, but I'm glad the people at Disney had the guts to allow him to do his thing, and produce a SW property containing some very serious, adult themes, with nobody getting away unscathed.
I don't think Cinta is as stone cold as you say. If she was , she never would have even looked at Vel. I perceived a very small moment where she looked like she wanted to walk over and talk. But she couldn't. She had a job to do and that would have blown her cover. Maybe I'm wrong and I saw stuff that wasn't there, but Cinta did tell Vel where her priorities were.
Also, not sure Brasso is dead. The scene sure implies he is, but more than one SW character thought dead has returned.
As to the hapless rebels, Gilroy is making a point. All the rebel groups agree that they should be rebelling, just no one agrees on who should lead, how they should rebel, etc. This was the Maya Pei brigade, a group Saw Gererra outright dismissed.
If you ever saw Star Wars Rebels (the animated show) you see one rebel cell working alone. It's Mon Mothma that unites them all together. And she won't work with Saw.
Factoid: One of the three Hammerhead corvettes that Princess Leia 'liberates' in Star Wars Rebels is the exact same corvette that rams the Star Destroyer in Rogue One at the Battle of Scarif.

I’ve started Andor at the beginning, to smoothly swing into the end of Season 2 on 13May when the end streams. I’m assimilated, THIS IS SO GOOD, everything I imagined Star Wars should always be. A bit to difficult for JJ. 😐

The season started off a little rough, but seems to have found it grove. My favorite character right now, besides the main one, is Saw Gerrera. His character is something else!!!
5 reasons why Andor on Disney+ is one of the best TV shows of the past decade
Andor returns to Disney+ for Season 2 in April 2025. Here's our take on why the show is one of the best TV releases in years.

S1E6 The Eye- The pacing on these 42 minute episodes is impressive, the ability to get so much done, but not having it feel short changed. Right to the point. In this regard it reminds me of Star Trek Next Gen episodes.
My god, the second to last arc:
Ghorman massacre - "Who are you" - Mon Motha's speech - Bix leaves Cassian -even a force Healer. My heart was pounding in the lead-up to the massacre, it was just so real. Oh and those killer robots
No exaggeration this is some of the best TV and certainly sci-fi I have watched. Eager and scared for next week.

S1E7 Announcement- When Luthan Rael tells Senator Mon Mothma the realities of revolution it’s powerful, while on the face of it, he’s just a jovial shop dealer selling high priced antiquities to the wealthy of Corescant.
I had a hard time feeling much sympathy for the Ghor. Their bumbling inept attempts to rebel speak to an arrogant mindset (IMO). The guy who killed Cinta being a perfect example. It's all fun and games being cloak and dagger with guns until someone gets shot for real.
Dedra didn't really have to try very hard to get her rebels to do the 'right' thing at the 'right' time. I only wish Cassian could have found out who Syril was.
It's sad about Bix. She will never find Cassian, despite telling him she would. And she will probably live the rest of her life wondering why she can't find him. Very few people actually know who was there on Scarif and why. And most of those who know died there.
Lastly…'killer robots'? The correct designation is Imperial Security Droid.
These are the droids you'd find on sentry duty at Imperial installations. They were just brought in because it was known that the damage they could do to unarmed civilians was significant.
Not reading the spoilers right now as I am still a few episodes behind, but man is it tough. I follow a lot of Star Wars sites and social media folks and from the sounds of it, there is an episode that is coming up that sounds like it could have some stuff that we really haven't seen in the Star Wars universe.
Excited!
Excited!
I've been resisting the urge to binge, so saving the conclusion of the latest trio for tonight, and trying to avoid the spoiler realm, but I can say…wow.
Being a part of the SW universe gives this series an advantage, but it's been clear that it transcends the franchise, and that was just proven again.

Well, In my view what should they have done? Most of the people killed in the square were not in the resistance. Outside all were going to be wiped out or deported for the mining anyway. Yes, they should have listened to the experienced rebels Luthen sent, and I may add that arrogant dude is a common type unfortunately. They were different from say the Ferrix people for sure though. Then we have the rebels Cassian met in Yavin before the big base was built. Just pathetic. I think if Cassian knew who Syril was it would have taken the sting out of Syril's last moments. It may have been interesting though sure.I had a hard time feeling much sympathy for the Ghor. Their bumbling inept attempts to rebel speak to an arrogant mindset (IMO).

Bix's goodbye was really heartbreaking and I liked the comments that Cassian and Jyn's last hug was of friendship and human connection before their end. I want to believe Cassian was thinking of Bix.

‘Andor’ Showrunner Tony Gilroy Explains Why the Massacred People of Ghorman are All White, French-Coded: “Their Own Pride and Insularity Are Being Used Against Them as a Weapon”
Spoilers S2:E1&2I thought it quite funny too, still haven't watched the next two episodes. Just a reminder everyone not to post spoilers unless hidden in the "spoiler tag"!
Example:
I thought it interesting that Andor is now held by another rebel group, not rival as they don't know who the others are and this group is split. Pretty realistic, I wrote papers in university about the Greek Civil war which had it's first round during the occupation when the main communist resistance fought against the loyalist resistance - despite them having ostensibly the same enemy.
Having just watched, I’m a bit disappointed, but I still have hope. There was a level of humor, Andor’s heist I was not used to seeing in this series, and Andor waylaid for 2 episodes by bumbling rebels. while Mon is conducting her child’s wedding seemed like a pause, breather, regroup, or to be more accurate, like a waste of time. Yes, they were setting some story elements up, and based on comments in this thead (I have not looked at spoilers) it seems like the story gets off it’s arse. Even though it’s 12 episodes, they are only 42min each, so they should be forging ahead, with meat, not filler. 😐
Those two series are among my favourite - I love the characters and worldbuilding in both.
Just wait, one episode had me on the edge of my seat with my heart pounding though I knew what was coming. Really drives home the evil of the empire.
It seems that the back half (episodes 7-12) is where things really get going. Not sure why they chose to focus the first three episodes on what they did. Quite frankly, it was boring.
I feel that if you're going to focus three episodes of a block on one year of time, that the events you're focusing on should actually be the important standout events that happened or shaped things during that block of time. Episodes 1-3 didn't really do that. 4-6 are better, but still slow. It gets interesting at 7.
S2 Spoilers
So Andor get’s waylaid for 2 episodes. While this could be completely realistic, Mon if her daughter actually marries the Hoodlum’s Son, maybe this means something for the future. With limited time to tell this story, is it good story telling? I’ll watch 3&4 soon. I should watch 3 before I make another comment. 🤔
