Who's ready for this week's Star Wars movie?

So awesome to get four sets of 3 episodes of this quality running ~3 hours.

'Tis a silly show! Introducing it as 'Before Battle of Yavin 3'

Everyone knows the Battle happened at Yavin 4! You have to know I'm joking.

I hope Bail has a bigger role in the rest of the series because recasting the character for that one quick scene would be really weird.

At first, I thought it was to show what a moron Mon's husband is. He saw a latino guy with a goatee and assumed it was Organa, but I guess that was supposed to be him.

Star Wars has never been this tense!

I wouldn't cosplay as many things, but I might make an exception for Varian Skye.

You guys are amateurs. I'm a designer! Send me those swatches.

Say what you will about Coruscant but there appears to be ample parking.

Sure seems like Luthen and Palpatine are two sides of the same coin, both working in the shadows disguised as something they're not to manipulate and try and shape the galaxy's future

Though they're both at opposite ends ideologically, their methods (secrecy, deception, sacrifice) mirror each other.

Yup. It is so ironic that the Empire and Luthen both want Ghorman to rebel.

Empire so that they have the excuse to brutalize it for resources.

Luthen for them to get crushed and inspire rebellion across the galaxy.

Are they really at opposite ends ideologically though? We know what Palpatine stands for Peace and Justice, and gaining the power to reach those goals through subversion, and brutal oppression.


Is Luther really driven by ideology, or is he driven to fight no matter the cost.

Never fails, when you have a couple of secondary characters suddenly having a heartfelt moment you know at least one of them is about to die.

I'm only half way through ep.7 but this is PEAK Andor again.

Season is hitting its stride now.

I just don’t know how anything this good was made by Disney.

It’s not just a great TV show, it might be one of the all time greats.

Cyril standing in the square, swallowed by the scope of the Empire’s brutality, realizing he's one of the villains.

I was sure we were at the start of some kind of redemption arc. Then he spots that son of a bitch Cassian - the one who ruined everything on some backwater years ago...

Been building up to it since the show's first arc.

That scene....Cassian ruined that guy's life and in response he hated him and hunted him and then he confronts the enemy of his lifetime and....

"Who are you?"

Ohhh....*chef's kiss* right there. Like...I could feel that guy's pain! Kudos to everyone involved in that scene. Both actors, music, set design, Director, the build up and the payoff was just perfect.

"Tear the #### out of this place!"

"I have friends Everywhere."

Who writes this show? Why are they not writing more shows??

The massacre of Ghorman perfectly encapsulates the struggle between those deemed expendable and the might of the Empire.

Just cinema.

Yeah! It was great! You had the people who figured out they were being manipulated, the people who felt they had to do it anyways...just a powerful episode.

That's going to be one of those episodes of TV you never forget.

Love the whole aesthetic of Ghorman. So much attention to detail and the protests looked authentic, as well as the fear after they opened fire.
