Star Wars Andor (Disney+ TV series)

[Treadwell]

I agree big spaceship lightsabers would be silly, but I don't think that's what they were. They were those continuous phaser-like beams as we've already seen being used by tanks in Attack of the Clones.

But I don't think he did know? As far as I could tell, they had no way of knowing what the outside world looked like. Pretty sure the transports that brought them in didn't have windows. I actually wouldn't have minded some poignant scene where he just accepts his fate and swan dives off the platform. I think Tony Gilroy or someone involved in the show recently made some statement essentially saying we shouldn't assume he's dead. Personally I think it had more impact if he was though.

The transports had windows. The prison door was wide open to see the ship fly away. The prisoners were allowed to see everything inbound as well as being told. They could look outside the prison hallway windows and see they were surrounded by and under water. Would have been more fitting to have Kino take a shot to the leg meaning he literally couldn't swim, and andor would have to leave a man behind after helping him to the end.

And the ball turret on the LAAT/i Gunships in Attack of the Clones.

I like how thy explained the brick facades on Ferrix for everyone complaining about the earthy brick use.

Hmmm, I guess I had forgotten then. I’ll have to rewatch the episode. I know the factory hallways had windows but that didn’t necessarily reflect that the entire facility was surrounded by water. The only other explanation was that maybe he was so caught up in the escape, it didn’t occur to him what that really meant. Or maybe he had hoped they’d stumble across some other way to leave the place.

I'm actually surprised any of them survived considering how high up they were.

Within minutes of his first scene in the series, I told my wife, "Look -- it's the future star of The Young Agent Cooper Chronicles."

It's the difference between a leader with a plan VS a soldier/thug that only eyes the task at hand.


I've been holding onto this one in the hopes someone else would bring it up, Kino revealing he couldn't swim. Yet he would know what's ahead of him so why go all the way to the end just to stop. He already committed to his demise. Maybe his character will return next season when the next heist requires more brief underwater swimming and the secret group of rouges gets their PADI certification at Kino's Dive Stop and Bar.

In the words of a great man long gone, "I only dog paddle."


Dog paddle Andy. Dog paddle. Even though I despise the sequals I still wan't him to be Snoke.

 

[Jamesfett]

Honestly…yeah. It was a fun sequence.

It was, but I would rather see side laser blasters, mines, or something.

 

[Jamesfett]

Okay I feel better with the idea of it just being a continues laser. Rapid fire lasers would have been better. Still looks like a light saber ship. The clone wars stuff did not look like a lightsaber.


Has anyone found a good pic of the ship? I can't find much. I can't even see a good pic of where the cockpit is. I think it's off center but hard to tell.

 

[Gimpdiggity]

I’m choosing to believe that he knew they were surrounded by water.

He also knew that the prisoners needed a leader, and needed a chance…any chance…to get out of that facility and live.

So he did what a good leader did and led…even though he knew ultimately he was going to end up in a situation that he may ultimately not escape, or worse yet, die.

That said, I also believe we haven’t seen the last of him.

 

[Wolfsburg]

Yeah I think we’ll see him again although I thought it’d be more poignant if he jumped to his certain death rather than be recaptured and worked to death. The way Serkis delivered the line made me think he only then grasped/discovered the irony of the situation but I suppose that’s subjective.

The current theory is that it wasn't missiles from Luthens ship that did the tractor beam in but chaff. That's why he baited them into turning up the power on the tractor beam by the attempted escape and then let the tractor beam itself draw the chaff in at deadly speed. Using the empires own weapons against it.
Which just makes him even cooler

 

[Darth Lars]

I think the most improbable thing about the "ship lightsabers" is that Luthen managed to hit two targets with (one of) the beams, at speed and while spinning.
He must have been either Force-sensitive or had a seriously sophisticated flying computer to be able to pull that off.

I have heard the term a lot, but what exactly is Chaff?

Thanks

Another great episode..loved the Cantwell nod and that whole scene..however..obsessive detail nitpick time!

I thought it was strange they used Rogue One footage for the Tie when they already showed their own unique Andor version in Ep 6.

…nitpick done
