Re: ep3 in Andor, I very recently watched The Ascent and I feel like that film does a better job of demonstrating how fascists move through villages looking for partisans/undocumented people and also how partisan fighters themselves often engage in similar behaviour when they move through villages, asking for food and shelter and taking resources from already precarious populations, something that stokes local resentments and can encourage locals to help the enemy/rat people out/etc in exchange for money or exemptions from the occupation’s brutality. Like often colonial and occupying governments use locals to enforce their will because it’s easier and they need someone knowledgeable of the area. like Andor does engage with this a little bit but idk I do feel like history is much messier than this. but also this is star war
