Andor (S1) Discussion [Spoilers allowed]

I thought he said Leia, too, but she’s listed at Kleya on IMDB

To be fair, she's physically similar to Leia, in the early stages of the Rebellion, at a time when everyone is being watched. To have her name slightly changed to Kleya wouldn't be too much of a stretch. I wonder whether she's just young Leia.

The Stellan Skarsgård and the Forest Whitaker scene had me smiling. It was so so good.

I like Andor a lot. I do feel though that every director? or whoever is trying to make their own niche, their own tattoo on Star Wars. This is so dark and getting darker I feel it's not the original 'premise'...'concept' of the original trilogy. I feel the first 3 films should be the hub and everything spiraling off of it should be consistent.

I like how the prison is so pristine and bright, with the contrast of the scenario being so dark. Though again, I feel this is a director saying 'Hey look at my talent' rather than 'Hey, look at the story line'.

Again, we have woke concepts; seems we can't get away from every day issues rammed down our throats in our fantasy escapes.

Maybe because I'm from the South East (England) Kleya didn't sound anything like Leia to me.

One of the most striking things for me is the matter of consequences. Event after event that leads to Andor's death. And the impact he had on the galaxy as a whole. If one little point was different, how would that have affected things.

Has Christopher Fairbank never been in Star Wars?! I'd have thought he was a shoe-in to have been in it well before now. I love all his work!

Thinking about us; there's not really many strong candidates for becoming characters in our game. They don't really stand out over rank and file troopers. I think there's a good chance this series will be overlooked for SWGOH. However, I think Dedra, Cinta and Luthen would be nice. I have a feeling Cinta might become more central in the next couple of episodes.

One the things I like the most about this series. If I watch Rogue 1 and think of Cassian's past; it fits very well with this series. Where as; if I watch the original trilogy and the prequels, the Kenobi series doesn't fit well in the slightest. Consistency is a huge issue in our universe..........sorry galaxy and although the 'darkness' isn't very Star Warsy for me, this does fit in to the jigsaw.

It doesn't deserve the low viewing figures it's been getting.

Up until this point, it was almost believable that the female ISB agent might be a decent human being who was just very ambitious and patriotic. But the torture scene proved just how cold she is. And the flippantly casual way she suggested killing the rebel pilot just to keep their cover was shocking. This show is so good. I hope it gets the following it deserves.

Thoroughly enjoyed the episode, and this thread, great spoiler there Wed_Santa.

One of the most powerful lines I’ve encountered in a TV show (up there with ‘we dug coal’ at the end of Justified)

For sure. Justified had several lines like that, my favorite being "No Raylan, I'm gonna bet my life on you being the only friend I have left in this world."

One of the all-time best shows.

Yup. Main reason I’d be keen to see Cobb Vanth slide into the game.

Yeah that scene + line was just amazing because it was very unexpected given how these episodes usually go

Wild. I said "I can't swim" before Keno said it.

I love the fact that they show the day-to-day life and 'resl life' problems in the galaxy for both sides. Also, how and what type of sacrifices were done for the rebellion. It's not your normal-usual SW series but it's great.
