in reply to @catacalypto's post:
the incredible rebuttal to "do or do not, there is no try" in this show just being like "NO!!!! TRY!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE TO HOPE!!!!!!" is giving me such intense life
it is SO GOOD. it’s like “it does not matter if you die, try it anyway”
also: original trilogy: guess they just left this vulnerability in? oh well
rogue one: the vulnerability was built in as a secret and specific act of resistance
andor: all empire contains the seeds of its own destruction
it rules. it's insane how much Andor just GETS IT, man. makes it look fuckin EASY
also if you want more of my insane Andor ramblings you should check out @ct-0451 imo it's where I've been quarantining all my star wars thoughts
AND to do this in a show whose premise is literally "let's see how the hero became a hero"
YES!!
and the answer turning out to be “by being embedded in a specific historical moment and in networks of mutual care with others coming to their own heroisms for their own reasons”
