Star Wars: Andor (April 22, 2025)

Luthen and Saw ... awesome. Low orbit combat ... awesome. Everything really, but I just want more ... can't believe this only has one episode left for the season.

As cool as they looked, they also seemed like oddly specific weapons for a very specific use case. Can they fire forward too?

I love how this continues to effectively show the scale of planets in the background. They did this with Rogue One too. In many movie/TV space scenes, planets in the background don't have that sense of scale when compared to the ships. Having the fight in low orbit like here and Rogue One really makes the planet (and space itself) feel massive.

Yeah I love those sorts of visuals as well, RO was exceptional at displaying scale ..

I mean Luthen is the kind of guy that’s prepared for every possible situation and outcome.

This was my favourite scene:

Luthen is an absolute bad ***!

Two Tubes was also great in this in his short time.

Also…Lets call it war.

TIE Pilots are as stupid and utterly incompetent as ever, particularly in this show. At this pace the moronic meat-shield Stormtroopers going to be dethroned very soon.

Yeah, they haven't had a good showing in combat as of yet. They were actually pretty dangerous in Rogue One by comparison.

Is tonight the last episode?

One more to go

 

[Wor-Gar]

Just watched it. Loved Saw and Luthen...

 

[Hoody999]

Great episode. A pity they didn't start the faster paced episodes a bit earlier.

I need to ask; why do people think Luthen is a Jedi? He doesn’t act like one at all and I feel that this show is trying to stay away from Jedi, Sith, Lightsabers and the Force as much as it possibly can… and that’s what makes it so refreshing.

Now that you mention it he looks a bit like Palpatine. Sounds like him too (albeit Swedish).

 

[xXJ0kerXx1]

for the short amount of screen time luthen has, he's quickly become my favorite character in star wars in such a short amount of time

 

[DarkChocobi]

He's the father of Rey Palpatine.

Really looking forward to seeing this one. Couldn't watch it last night because I was in hospital, back today, so I'll watch it later.
Going to feel like a long wait for season 2.

Luthen is the star of season 1. If HT can make a third sister and ninth brother, they damn well better make him.

 

[Mandible]

The three standouts by far for me are Luthen, Mothma, and Dedra - all 3 actors are bringing their AAA+++ game from exquisite writing for their respective scenes.

(Notable mentions: Saw, and Dedra's boss).

 

[Darthrazz]

A few takeaways, from my point of view of this series before the last episode.

Acting, first and foremost the acting.....amazing performances, every Luthen scene has me sitting at the edge of my seat. His latest exchange with Saw was jarring.

The Mon Mothma scenes are all fantastic, you can feel her struggle and fears of what might be and the sacrifices she needs to make.

Andy Serkis, phenomenal character development in a few episodes, his realization at the end that he wasn't getting out. No pun intended with the ocean , but it reminds me of the saying, "I swam across the ocean , only to drown at the shore"

Amazing how in a few short scenes we see a strong bond form between Andor and Melshi, a bond that I feel was never really formed between Obi Wan & Anakin in the prequels.

This show has taken Star Wars to another level and opended the doors to a wider universe, no mysticism, magic, Jedi, this is a show about the birth of rebellion, strife, sacrifices, espionage, fears , double crossings.

Can't wait to see what the final episode brings.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I need to ask; why do people think Luthen is a Jedi?

People think this?
