Quotes from "ANDOR" which keep haunting me:

"Gets to you, doesn't it? That's what a reckoning sounds like."

"That's just love. Nothing you can do about that."

"But this time... You can't stay and I can't go."

"Power doesn't panic."

"I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see. And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude."

"Never more than twelve."

"ONE WAY OUT!"

"I've made my mind a sunless place. I share my dreams with ghosts."

"I can't swim."

"Let's call it war."

"Tyranny requires constant effort. Authority is brittle. It breaks, it leaks. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."

"Freedom is a pure idea."

"I show you the stone in my hand, you miss the knife at your throat."

"Tell him I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong."

"The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness, it is never more alive than when we sleep."

the powerhouse that is diego luna’s acting is just astounding. and never overshadowed by all the character actors who are doing completely stunning jobs acting their hearts out alongside him (the casting director is fucking AMAZING. no Ls whatsoever), but one thing natalie watson and austin walker pointed out in the AMCA podcast is that luna is in every single episode where almost no other actors in the show are, and he’s basically carrying the entire show, which in a show of this scale is… very impressive. a LOT of screen time is spent studying his face in close up shots and having the audience look at his reactions and he’s really doing an incredible job. so much of the narkina 5 arc is us watching andor watch what’s going on around him and it’s just perfect. most other actors would have a hard time being noticed or telling a story while in these intense moments with serkis or skarsgard but luna fucking carries it.

Andor really proved that some things are universal:

* Cereal

* Chinese takeaway boxes

* beach party vibes

* your parents being disappointed in you

* the prison industrial complex

Too much (yet not enough) Andor is a masterpiece

[kanansdume]

I love that yet again we see Cassian take a back seat so someone else can rally the troops, someone else takes center stage and the credit.

In this case, it's Maarva. Last time they spoke, he said he didn't understand why she was staying, why she wanted to fight a revolution against an impossible force.

But this time, he gets it. He lets her word be the rallying call for her home, he makes sure EVERYBODY gets to hear it, that the entire town gets called out to listen to her final speech as he goes in to rescue Bix in the shadows.

He runs from hiding place to hiding place as Brasso stands at the front of a crowd, walks them towards a wall of Imperial soldiers, and leads them in the fight for freedom.

Cassian isn't a Big Damn Hero. He's not someone whose name is known or remembered. He's not a leader who makes the big speech to a crowd.

He's a spy. He observes, he notices things, he figures out the plan that has to happen in order to succeed at the goal. He's the one who puts it all together and then steps away from the spotlight so he can do it all over again.

it's literally like. i'm sorry but how am i supposed to be content with watching the mandalorian or totj or anything else after this. andor gave us a taste of what star wars could be without the made-to-sell-merch corporate hollowness of so much of the recent content and now i just want more. like between the unapologetically antifascist storytelling, dialogue that rips your heart to shreds, complex and contradictory characters, the gritty and brutal and unfair reality of fighting for a better world... it's such a breath of fresh air.

Dedra Meero is everything people seem to see in Anakin. She's SO interesting, so fallible, such a mystery in terms of why she is the way she is, she's horrible, she's a bitch, I am never ever rooting for her, I hope she gets to defeat all of the other men in the ISB.

There is literally nothing about her that is a good person, she is an empty shell of a human being, devoid of any kind of sympathy, empathy, or compassion.

But my gosh is she COMPELLING. That emptiness is the entire point of her, it's the whole REASON she is terrifying. I never want to know her backstory, I never want a logical or sympathetic explanation for why she is the way she is, it would dilute her impact as a character.

I don't want her redeemed, I don't want her to be a Rebel, I have no interest in seeing her become a better person. I hope she gets assigned to the Death Star, or Scarif, and gets blown up.

But she is such an impeccably written villain, especially for the world created in Andor. I wish Star Wars had 10 other villains of this calibre.

a moment of silence for this star wars space tie…what in the world were they thinking

i’m so sorry why does it look like i canNOT with this tie

[itsagrimm]

love how the Empire, Rebels and basically everyone with power had a schedule for Maarva's funeral.

There were rules and guidelines. Order and decorum. Set times to be adhered to.

and then the people of Ferrix just shrugged and did their thing anyway.

peak defiance.

I loved that Cassian and Melshi got helped by the alien natives to Narkina 5. It's not just an abandoned wasteland, it's someone's HOME and the Empire is not just destroying the lives of the people in those prisons but also slowly poisoning the livelihoods of the people who already were there.

And there's absolutely nothing these Narkinians can do about it but stick it to the Empire by helping a few prisoners escape. So they do. Cassian and Melshi were about to steal their ship, but the Narkinians see a kinship with them as prisoners who suffered under the Empire and choose kindness when they don't have to.

We didn't get a LOT of aliens in Andor, but I appreciate that this one moment where we did, they utilized it so well.
