8 might be the most intense TV I’ve ever watched. Holy fucking fuck

Welcome to the rebellion

I’m trying to think what to compare that too. A tv version of the opening of Saving private Ryan?

Syril's poor ending took me by surprise, but it was just so fitting. He's been a pawn this whole time, thinking he mattered. He thinks his girl might start showing him respect, but no. You think the empire is seeing him as valuable, but no. He's basically Ashli Babbitt. The "who are you" is the icing on the cake.

Just finished ep 9 and… that was just exceptional. I can’t remember the last time any tv gave me goosebumps, much less Star Wars. And no lie, while I was watching the K2 power up scene we had a small earthquake here in north Georgia. Epic!

I was terrified when it became clear that Bix wasn’t going to let herself be the reason that Andor left the rebellion. With all of her trauma I was afraid she was going to take her own life. During her message all I could see in my head was Cassian’s last moment on the beach. That is some Shakespeare level tragedy. 
 

The female characters on this show are some of the best ever put on a screen. It has been a master class on strong women. And Kleya with her hair down…rawr.

My disappointment in Disney is relevant to the topic at hand. If Disney hadn’t destroyed Star Wars then Andor might be performing better and we would have a better chance at more good prestige SW content. I don’t know why mdmost thinks that Disney doesn’t care about making money, they absolutely do, and a $300M loss is not going to be something they will be eager to do again. 
 

Andor is great. Fuck you Disney for insuring we’ll never get anything else like it. 

My experience from Star Wars Celebration doesn’t seem to show Disney is gonna forget/ignore SW. I get your sentiment but these things go in cycles… not sure why the doom and gloom here. Enjoy it! You never know if another IP or movie/show will break through with the fanbase and zeitgeist.

I have no idea what that means, but I did want to say that I am so sad this ends on Tuesday.  Rarely does a show ever live up to the expectations of the first season, but it's been it's been absolutely amazing.  I don't want it to end.

Just watched E9 this morning  Liked it.  Very powerful.  Loved the layers of deception and risk, and infiltration of those both Bail and Maave trusted.

Now Andor has his mech Chewbacca.

Spoiler

One thing I don't get about Bail's team being infiltrated...  If the ISB already knew something was up with Mon, why not grab her before the speech?   Or right outside her senate perch?  Why wait until she's trying to leave?  

I guess they could act like they don't know what happened to her after Bail's team takes her or even blame Bail and have his credibility shot up and fracture the resistance.

Because Lonni was the person who put the agent on Mon to keep up the appearance that he's doing his job. All the agent and ISB knew was Mon was trying to leave Coruscant, a plan was set up to get her out but not the why of it. Then Lonni fed the ISB agent to Luthen but not who it was. Just that the team had been compromised and he needed to get her out separately with Luthen's own agent. Bail said he was being watched heavily. I think the ISB plan was to catch her in the act of fleeing. They had no idea she was going to give the speech. 

I think Lonni will finally get found out in the final arc which leads to Luthen and Kleya's demise. I don't mind if Luthen goes down. Kleya getting caught or killed though is going to really suck.
