There's just something about how the ISB never found Andor.

Syril found Andor, too late.

Dedra found Axis without him.

But they never found Cassian Andor - and they'll never know what that specific failure cost them, will they?

The Rebels don't know who was on Aldhani; the Empire will never know who did the job on Scarif.

Where is Andor? They don't know. But he has friends everywhere.

I love Andor for giving their antagonists shitty endings. We follow Dedra and Syril for such a long time that there are moments where we kind of root for them or feel bad for them, even though we know they're terrible people. Andor creates situations to put ourselves in their shoes AND it treats these characters as they should be treated- as villains. There is no "she was just misunderstood" or "there was good in him." These bastards are straight up, unrelentlessly evil, and their endings reflect that. Syril's death is overshadowed by the cleansing of the ghors. He's filthy and at a low point and fighting a man who he's convinced is the enemy, even though the man has no idea who the fuck Syril even is. Dedra, who's whole character revolves around her ambition with her career, ends up being arrested for overreaching on her job. She ends up in a max security prison, not for the crimes she's genuinely committed, but because she disrespected the chain of command at work.

These are genuinely some fucked up endings for these two characters and I love it so much. These bitches got exactly what they deserved, I've never seen karma and justice work so swiftly.

adding the shots of cassian watering his plants in the s2 finale was diabolical and made me cry. i am ILL over his sweet sweet plants. in my heart kleya is taking care of them for him until bix inevitably reaches out again. they made these characters too damn real I can't do it

the unresolved storyline of cassian’s missing sister is so poignant to me. life doesn’t always give you closure. him and his sister were separated and never reunited, and her that absence is something that motivated him until the very end. it was such a bold choice to leave it a mystery, and i respect that SO much 🙏

Andor stays a committed love letter to the unknown soldier. The rebellion’s lines have been pushed forward by hundreds who will never be recognized, even if their deeds are famous. Cassian has heard people claim to be at Aldhani, they don’t even know he was there. The money that bankrolled the rebellion, and no one knows who did it. Luthen will never get a medal of honor, or see the light of gratitude. Nemik’s manifesto comes back in both finales, reaching people across the galaxy. Whole battalions have enlisted because of him, and he’ll never be remembered. Without the unnamed soldier, we’d be nowhere

nemik's manifesto being spread galaxy wide, so well known that it reaches the inner workings of the empire, is so meaningful and impactful in ways i can't explain.

a young boy with a dream for the future, passionate about his hope for a better galaxy, dead before he can see his dreams come to fruition.

and cassian spreads his manifesto, his message, shares it onto the holonet and watches as it inspires people all across the galaxy. waking them up.

cassian andor is a messenger.

han: ok man

genevieve o'reilly's performance as mon mothma is, quite possibly, my favorite performance in all of star wars. she has brought such life and depth to this iconic character, who, when she first appeared in the original trilogy, hardly existed at all. genevieve o'reilly has been playing this character for two decades now, and before andor, she had been given crumbs, and those crumbs were largley cut, and still, even then, she brought such incredible grace and power to this role. it's truly remarkable, and she deserves all the praise in the world

[tigzz]

The confirmation that Nemik's manifesto got out there, that so many people are listening to it that even the ISB has heard it, a call to freedom against tyranny spreading across the galaxy...

[tigzz]

seeing mon and kleya’s thrilling escapes from coruscant makes leia’s first reaction to luke and han even funnier. leia must’ve heard about these highly skilled rebels but then when she gets captured, she gets a hillbilly farmboy and an idiot smuggler to rescue her

when you want to be hunting rebels but you’re overstimulated at dinner with your mom instead

if we see even a split second of kes dameron or shara bey in andor s2 i will start levitating i think

[tigzz]

lying face down on the ground thinking about how everything shara bey did for the rebels was so that her son could live in a better world. spending her youth fighting an impossible war. getting captured and tortured and interrogated by the empire. risking everything, not just her life but her future and her husbands future, risking leaving her son without his parents. Just so Poe wouldn't have to fight the same battles she did and grow up in the same world she did.

and then she dies young after the war and leaves him without his mother anyway. and he spends his youth fighting an impossible war. and he gets captured and tortured and interrogated by the first order the same as she did. he risks everything for the rebellion, the same rebellion his mother sacrified everything for for HIM. shara bey is rolling over in her goddamned grave. the first order is lucky she wasn't force sensitive bc her force ghost would be single-handedly ending their shit
