FIRST TIME WATCHING: Andor S2E1

Highly recommend waiting until after finishing this season before revisiting Rogue One

Rogue One after the Finale is a MUST!! Hits SO HARD

The “energy independence initiative” was the excuse the Emperor used when in reality all the resources went to building the Death Star

REWATCH ROGUE ONE AT THE END. Not before.

Andor _and_ Master and Commander? What did I do to deserve this treat?

are we gonna get a thunderbolts* reaction? 😊

Y’all talking like Nat reads comments, she doesn’t. To her own detriment. 🤷‍♂️ 🍻

REWATCH ROGUE ONE AFTER THE END OF SEASON TWO

I agree with everyone else that you should rewatch Rogue One after this season. You don’t need to remember much from that movie to understand this season and the finale leads directly into the start of Andor’s story in the movie. Rogue One basically becomes the third act of this three act story. Fun fact: the two rebels who are always arguing are played by Sam Gilroy (son of Tony Gilroy) and Benjamin Norris (son-in-law of John Gilroy, Tony’s brother and producer of Andor). Tony was inspired to include these characters after going to a family dinner and watching these two be rowdy and act like idiots together. He said he realized the rebellion couldn’t always be beautiful it had to be stupid too. All these different rebel groups fight for the same cause but in their own way and not always effectively. Saw mentioned in his speech to Luther last season both Maya-Pei’s group and the Ghorman resistance were some of the groups that were “lost”.

No exclamation from Nat this week of "Screamy Plane!" when the big scene was about a screamy plane! Very disappointed.

You should really do 3 episdoes of Andor per week, the series is split up into 3 episode arcs.

Another vote for saving Rogue One until after the full rewatch of Andor Season 2. It’ll basically connect directly into the start of that film—literally less than a day before everything kicks off. While the first two episodes of this season are not the best episodes, I love how it’s already developing the idea that Mon Mothma is struggling to balance her commitment to the Rebellion with her duties to her family. And I like how the fractured Rebels on the planet are kind of mirroring how through Season One up till now the idea that’s there’s one Rebellion isn’t true. There are still separate groups with separate leaders, no articulated chain of command, and still the idea that collaboration and compromise aren’t required to put together a successful army to challenge the Empire.

Great reaction, thanks Natalie! Just a bit of context, Cassian is likely confused by the TIE ship's controls bcs it's a prototype for the TIE Avenger. So, seems like it's different from existing TIE controls

LFG

Just a note on Ghorman: Their population isn't what gives them Political Power. It's their wealth, status, and peaceful nature that gives them their power within the Senate/Government

Please do a Rogue One rewatch after season 2

Star Wars spin on the Wannsee Conference to discuss the "Ghorman Problem"

Don’t rewatch your Rogue One video, you’re already far enough in. Save the rewatch for when you’re finished season two, a bunch of other react channels did the same thing after season two ended.

Can’t wait for M + C

It's kind of funny that this a Disney+ week because for me because both shows and the movie are streaming on there. Very convenient 😁

Happy Monday Nattie G. Hope you had a good weekend too, and you are doing ok. Enjoyed your Friday livestream as always 😊 Looking forward to this week's feature. Haven't seen it before.

Are we getting a Rogue One rewatch after the series is finished?
