I don't think the Death Star was built near Scarif.

Wookiepedia informs me that it was moved from Geonosis to Scarif 4 years before the events of Andor.

I think I just regrew my virginity.

Loved seeing the quad jumper, but I missed the reason that the two aliens let them go and gave them a ride. Seemed like they were blaming them for everything and then let them go, were they just effing with them?

Big-time shoutout to author Timothy Zahn in this episode - the net trap that they get caught in is straight out of his invention of something called a Connor Net that is present in the Thrawn books.

Why is the waif being so risky in her movements? seems like now that she got the Aldhani job done she thinks she's queen bee and is just wandering around Coruscant attracting attention.

Really like how valued and cared for the people of Ferrix make Bee. Like a member of the family.

Initially surprised there was no blaze of glory for Aunt Petunia but that's very much in the style of Rogue One. People die inglorious deaths and that's all there is.

A shame the trailer ruined the surprise of Luthen's secret weapon. But the Imperial smugness to stupidity was on point and I loved that ship of theirs. Not sure why you'd send a TIE Bomber out to attack a ship though.

Props to Henry Thomas for stealing from his mother. Thought she might catch him and he'd kill her, but not quite there yet. Can't wait to see him and Linus back together making bad decisions.

Skarsgaard and Whitaker remains maybe the best acting combo in Star Wars history.

What was going on with the Chandrilan youth chant? Safe inside the braid?

The alien sleeping in the hotel room looked to be the same species as the one sharing a cell with Jyn at the beginning of Rogue One.

The last shot of Cassian looking out at the water was nearly identical to his last scene in Rogue One when the Death Star fires on Scarif and he and Jyn are out there together.

Man the scenes where Brasso was consoling Bee were actually really well done. Enjoy that they can make you love and empathize with droids.

Luthen's escape was badass.

Gotta think Cassian had a "WTF" moment seeing his old slam piece lying post coital with a crawdad.

That coded conversation between Luthen and the assistant. Man I love this espionage *****

Please explain this logic fail.

After a decent night's sleep, the fail was me….i havent seen succession yet. Lol. For whatever reason i was thinking of severance. Another widely acclaimed show that i enjoyed but didnt really think was as good as some say.

So sounds like i have a new show to watch.

Does Luthen's assistant have a name?

I too, am curious about whatever the teen girls were chanting about a braid.

Last, am I the only one who didn't like the starship lightsabers? Hey, I shot the first two with little difficulty but why not try flying between the last two so I can count coup.

I'm glad nobody blasted Tubes after he was fingered.

From all the various discussion, Mon and Vel's home planet sounds kind of weird/uber-old-school-traditional with arranged marriages and what not. I can't remember the exact wording, but Vel made some comment to Mon this episode, re: the chanting, that made it sound like it was another tradition from their home planet that neither of them obviously approved of. It's almost like they were raised, say, Catholic, finally left the church/their home town for the big city, but then suddenly Mon's daughter starts organizing a Catholic youth group or whatever.

I'm hoping B2 has a recorded message for Cassian of Marva saying good bye.

when they mentioned how the dead's ashes become mixed into brick I can't help but think that's going to be of importance in next week's episode.

Good call. There's definitely something else going on; some little ploy against the local Empire that Cassian's friends are up to, centered around the funeral/ashes. Instead of going out in a blaze of glory, I'm betting Cassian's mother concocted some kind of plan in the event of her death, using her funeral as cover, that Cassian's friends/neighbors are now enacting.

And it's gonna be pretty funny when the funeral is used as some sort of attack. Normally, the imperials would have said "nope, just get on with your life," but Meero stepped in with the intention to catch Andor. She will inadvertently be the reason some sh-t goes down...

Which, in a fun twist of fate, brings her right down to the ground with Syril.

Yes, there's too much there. There's also been a lot of screen time dedicated to her droid which is why I think it could be involved

I thought the whole thing about ashes and becoming literal bricks on planet Ferrix was a cool piece of culture/ world building.

Maybe it plays part of the story going forward but either way just a small piece of writing that is evidence 1000 of why this show is so good.

Luther's ship may have moved to the top of the list of most badass lethal ships in SW.
