At least it's good to know that it wasn't just brushed off...? I guess?

actually i’ve come to the conclusion after finishing andor and sitting in it for around a week that the sequels were actually fucked from the start. like yeah, no shit from a development and story perspective they were a mess because there was no plan but on a BASIC LEVEL they were fucked because there is a fundamental lack of creativity. yes there is always a push and pull between fascism and democracy, yes it makes sense that people seek power and after swinging far left you then often swing back far right. but none of that should have been the first order. it’s just at a basic level a very uninteresting enemy to examine. we already did that song and dance, and the complete lack of any explication (completely ignoring the whole later palpatine angle because we all agree the writers should be shot and quartered for that) for how another galaxy spanning empire rose not even 20 years after the end of the previous one which lasted almost the exact same amount of time is bonkers. i actually really enjoy the force awakens, i think it’s a fun movie, but it is to its own detriment that it is a legacy sequel with nothing new to say because that means there IS NO STORY. like i honest to god at this point find that for me, the story ends after return of the jedi. that’s it. because it is such lazy damn writing to have actually nothing to say and no creativity to make a new threat. we all think the aesthetic of the empire is cool, we get it. there is no world in which it should pull main focus. and i’m not saying i have a better idea, but all i know is they should have been starting from square one and not relied on the originals at all. the vibe of the prequels is so distinct from the original trilogy for a reason, and that’s because there was an actually separate (not completely, but you get what i mean) story to tell. the basic failure of the sequels was that there was never anything there. we did this song and dance already. we already liked it. this detracts from everything before and devalues and idea that there can ever be change or completion, because what’s the damn point if the same empire won’t stop coming back? there have been thousands of years with different power structures and orders ruling the galaxy or fighting for control, and to think that the fucking empire/first order and any carbon cutout following them is the only option is lazy. i just. it’s fucking lazy it’s uninteresting and lazy and there’s nothing to be saved because it decided it NEEDS to work off of the status quo of the heroes being the underdog. i promise, i PROMISE you there is so much more to explore. also jj abrams meet me on a cliff at dawn i just wanna talk

I hate it when people are like “if you don’t like ___ maybe you just aren’t a REAL star wars fan.” because the only prerequisite for being a star wars fan is hating star wars and everyone knows this

you know what i actually would have liked more? aside from a better storyline for bix, but that’s besides the point. i would have honestly just liked it better to have her sitting in the wheat field, but instead she goes back inside to her house or something to tend to a little shrine of the people from ferrix. just little things for each of them. and the ones of marwa and brasso are on the left and cassian and wilmon are on the right but cassian is right in the middle, the line between alive and dead people she’s mourning or waiting to see again, and then she leaves the shot and it ends on just those objects and that’s the last shot and boom cut to black. i don’t know. im a sucker for fucked up foreshadowing and the tragedy of cassian already being dead before the story even began, and i think that would be a great ending. just spitballing though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ tony gilroy mayhaps hire me? i also just think it should begin and end with ferrix. they all made this happen, at the end of the day it starts small and ferrix was where it started

Dedra's downfall is really fascinating to me, because it perfectly encapsulates how an oppressive regime will implement oppressive systems within itself. Dedra is an ambitious woman within a fascist and sexist system. Despite her work ethic, she is still up against that systemic sexism that her male coworkers don't face.

Her line about having to scavenge is a direct callout of how much more work she has to do to prove herself, but it still isn't enough. She still falls. Fascism still consumes her because that's what it does: it eats up anyone who doesn't perfectly conform to its systems and spits out whatever is left.

This is what the show is telling us through Dedra: that it is a failure to believe that success can be achieved through allying yourself to the current regime. No matter what you do, it will come for you. Dedra's ambition fails her and lands her in a Narkina-like prison, where she becomes one of the same detention numbers that she was praised for keeping so high in season 1.

There is no graceful fall for someone like Dedra. It is a sharp decline to ruin and obscurity.

Anyway before I pass out (it’s 4:30AM) the scene where Melshi is held at gunpoint and they tell him to put his hands above his head (cool now I’m thinking about Narkina again) and then just skedaddles outta there god what a guy
