spoiler opinions under the cut

Bro they got a GUY to say POLITICAL CONSCIOUSNESS in the STAR WARS SHOW!!!! YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
mon mothma's shitty fuckin marriage is soooooo juicy. i love her awful husband who a friend described as "mall katana husband". that is his vibe. mall katana husband.
-
after watching me and my friends were talking about how good it feels to be watching a Star Wars that was clearly created by someone who... watches things other than Star Wars? the rebel camp is so clearly inspired by like, Finnish anti-nazi groups in ww2.
-
incredible to me that this is an entire episode of Buildup and it's one of the best things i've ever seen, just like the previous four episodes. i was assuming they'd jump straight to the heist, but this was so much more juicy. just beautiful, luxuriating in the moments.
-
luxuriating in the minutiae. the preparations, the group dynamics. It's clear that tony gilroy wanted to build on what Rogue One showed the end of - that Andor is comfortable in these sort of hastily-put-together units, knows how they work, knows how to work them. I love the conversations between them, the tension. I love that Skeen casually mentions that Vel and Cinta are a couple, I love that Nemik and Skeen have a repartee, and i love that the way for Cassian to prove himself to Vel is through showing that he's noticing all of it.
-
syril karn and his nagging mother, their incredibly domestic scenes. I loved this scene - there's so much in this you never see in star wars. domesticity without ulterior motive, just great scenes, amazing dialogue, incredible characterization delivered so swiftly, effortlessly.
-
that's what really continues to blow me away about this show, more than all the aforementioned stuff - it's a written show. Characters have lines. Everyone is constantly saying dope shit. "Everyone has their own rebellion" god damn Vel. FUCK THIS IS A GOOD SHOW
