The plot thread of this pistol from season 1 to the final episode is really cool.
View attachment 3902300
The pistol was originally Syril Karn's, which Cassian took from him on Ferrix, and had the Pre Mor Security logo on it. Cassian carried the pistol during the Aldhani job, then hid it in the box with his money from Aldhani while he was "vacationing" on Niamos. The box stayed hidden on Niamos after Cassian was arrested.

When Melshi escaped from the jail on Narkina 5 with Cassian, they went back to Niamos, where Cassian recovered his hidden box of money & pistol. Melshi said that he needed to tell people what was happening with prisoners never being released, and as they parted, Cassian gave Melshi his pistol.

Melshi eventually joined the rebellion and showed up on Yavin 4, where Vel recognized Cassian's old pistol while inspecting weapons brought in by the new recruits. Melshi is also in Rogue One; he leads the team that rescued Jyn Erso, and joins Erso/Andor on the mission the steal the Death Star plans.

Next up in my queue is Rebels S3-18 "Secret Cargo", then Rogue One.

Thats wild

The plot of rogue one is basically Leeroy Jenkins

wow, thats dedication

What an ending to a show. Really really good episodes. The end leads directly into rogue one so you could theoretically watch Andor, then rogue one then a new hope as one big continuous thing.

I would actually go as far to say this is the best Star Wars since the original trilogy

I finished episode 10 tonight. Very nice. Not wanting to spoil but very good

 

[BMThiker]

Same, ep 10 so far. Too many headlines and reviews that I'm trying to avoid...

but did read up on some SW history that I thought was crazy by today's cinema standards. The first movie ran for over 12 months.

Star Wars' (Ep 4) first run went from 25 May 1977 to 20 July 1978. Due to overwhelming demand the film is immediately re-released the next day and the run is extended to 07 November 1978. Then, Star Wars is re-released again on 15 August 1979 for a few weeks. Then, it’s back again on 10 April 1981 for a couple of weeks. And then again on 13 August 1982.

I liked Andor. I wouldn't give it a 10 out of 10. Maybe a 7. The last few episodes were great. The problem I had was the pacing at times was ridiculously slow, and they spent way too much time on things that hardly mattered. The whole wedding could have been a 5 minute thing rather than like 2 episodes or whatever. I dont even know if the wedding was needed at all. The slow parts were also way too detailed with too many actors and overly complex and fancy sets. This all had to cost a lot of money. Instead they could have spent more time with fewer sets on more important issues and given us more episodes.

I’ve seen to episode 11 end and don’t want to spoil anything for myself or others. I get what you said and feel the same way. I had to drink extra caffeine and really try to get through several of the slower episodes and I still fell asleep during them. I wanted to enjoy them but nothing I did could keep me awake. I have an issue of passing out when I sit down and the tv is dark colored and I slow down.

Recent interview with GL talking about interning for Francis Ford Coppola, "convincing" the studio to give him product licensing, and why Yoda talks backwards.

I thought it was really cool how they did it because it shows how mon mothma and Cassian Andor live in two completely different worlds that are nothing alike, and yet they both sacrifice so much in completely different ways. Mon mothma has to basically sell her daughter to another family for funding for the rebellion while Cassian is basically doing more hands on stuff at the same time. Also the whole point of the show was backstory on background characters

From a film theory pov it also set up the juxtaposition between the two worlds cinematically (photographically and soundtrack).

It's also not really an action story, or anything like a typical epic SW type story, it's dirty and grim... Sure there is some action, but it's really a classic spy thriller, and an excellently executed one as well. So many fail to create real intrigue.. The details in Andor make the connections real and believable.. The tension building in Eps 5 and 8 was just top notch as well.. Only thing I would of liked was more K-2SO hanging with Cassian and crew, he stole the last two eps.

THIS made me chuckle - his finger beaming down on her like a Deathstar blast into her dome.

I think she also didn’t really realize what she did. Yes, she was a scapegoat, but she also did legitimately mess up and was largely responsible for the destruction of the Death Star, and she didn’t realize the severity until it was outlined to her in that moment

 

[BMThiker]

Yeah, the Empire had been compartmentalizing all aspects of the Star Dust program and her rat-holing all that intel into one folder made Lonni's job ridiculously easy. Looks like she'll still be building parts for Death Star v2.0 at Narkina 5.

Now I want to see a Tales of Yavin animated series with K2S0, Cassian & Melshi shenanigans that takes place in the year between S2-09 and S2-10.
