I just watched the first scene on Ferrix again. It's not out of the question that those first brief images are Aunt Petunia under a sheet and not necessarily all of Bee. You see his eye certainly, but there are some white, sort of gauzy motions as well.

Considering some of what we know of Bee and his capacity to lie, if they told him she was dead and he shut down intentionally, he couldn't be made to tell the truth about events he didn't see, like maybe them smuggling something out of her home (a bomb?) alongside her body. If the wall they decide to intern her in is right next to the Imperial HQ, a very large kaboom could follow.

Luthen is badass. Hope he has a good exit. I never really bought the rebellion winning in the OT. Just seemed like a couple hundred teenagers + Admiral Akbar fighting a galaxy wide totalitarian government and winning with about 20 ships. Rogue One and Andor have put forth some serious players that you could buy as leaders/organizers of an effective rebellion.

The lasers on the side of his ship are actually already cannon from Attack of t he Clones. They had the on the troop transports, but their laser beam was green.

The split up between him and the other prisoner was pretty portly written...the other guy said "we have to let everyone know what's happening" too many times. They didn't even say goodbye I don't think. And why didn't Cassian give him some money with the blaster??

It may have been a bit sloppy, but they did what I love about this show - side characters have just enough involvement to move the story along and then they go away when they are no longer useful to the story. I don't think it's weird that Cassian only gave him a blaster. A blaster was enough to keep him safe, he can go find his own way home. They got out, they are going on their own ways. Cassian would be dumb to let the guy know that he had a stash of money. Plus, Cassian just learned that his mother died.

And it is clear Cassian bought him so new clothes so I'm sure he gave him a little something to get by on.

I'm late to the party but man I don't know how they can produce such terrible stuff then come out with this gem. I was hesitant about this show because we know the end game but man it's really good.

I know I need to enjoy the show but I wish they would have done a better job on the other shows that have been just meh

While it's possible there is more to her death/funeral, they did actually lay the backstory to have her just die off screen.
Her mind and body were clearly detoriating. She was already not well when Cassian left, then they had a scene where she had had a fall out in the city. We talked ourself into having some big scene where she bombs the hotel, or something like that, but they never actually gave us any real reason to believe that in the show.

We'll see, I would also not be surprised to see something happen.

Yep. I threw a little hissy after the crap that was Obi-Wan & Boba Fett shows & said I was likely done with Star Wars. Watched the first 5 minutes of Andor and was almost as enthralled as I was when I saw "A New Hope" back in '77.

Loved at the end, how they are back on the Mexican Riviera and it's completely empty. You are left with the impression that every tourist is working on Narkina.

Definitely think B2 is involved in whatever is going on on Ferrix.

He has something that cannot get out to the empire, which is why no one wanted to leave him there alone.

Why wouldn't the empire have just confiscated him and done full diagnostics, or whatever, in the first place? If the droid ends up having some piece of crucial info or data or something...that would be a level of imperial incompetence we've not yet seen.

He's not the droid they are looking for, obviously.

As someone who listens to more True Crime podcasts than I'd care to admit, careless mistakes are not that abnormal.

I haven't read the thread, but just came to say that I finally started this show a couple weeks ago and am now all caught up.

Holy hell! THIS. THIS is what I've been asking for. A legitimately great show that just happens to be in the Stars Wars universe. Great writing, character development, dialog, acting, plot and then the bonus of being Star Wars. It's like they heard all my complaints and addressed them.

Cinematography - The other shows are too clean and digital and it often times make things look fake. SW should be cinematic and on film and Andor looks beautiful and cinematic.

Alien Overkill - The other shows felt the need to dump new species into the mix for absolutely no reason. The low point was Obi-Wan where they are running around a downtown area and there's like twenty new creatures and there was literally a crocodile man. Just ridiculous. Andor is remarkably human based and the few aliens they have introduced look good and serve a roll. They aren't just background scenery.

Dialog - The words make sense and sound like adults would actually speak them. Some legitimate great lines as well. "I haven't been sleeping." "I know, but I need you to wake up."

And when they do something they do it well. This last episode I was giddy at the space battle. When he sprayed those darts and shredded the satellite dish I fist pumped. And then the lasers out the side and roll? Come on!

Overall this is the high water mark for SW series by far to me. Can't wait for the finale and next season.

Maarva was bait and not being investigated. They were interested in Cassian and Luthen. No reason to take the droid.
