It’s called 5 hands because they threw Ro-Sham-Bo or whatever 5 times. So best of 5 basically. Also the planet they were trapped on is the planet YAVIN, where Luke blows up the Death Star and the Rebels set up their temple bases.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but Perrin wasn't gambling. Mon made a big show of that so that the people listening would think that's where the money is going. There was also a scene that was never filmed with Perrin and Mon which explains a number of his actions. I'll keep that one until Nat's watched it all.
Idk if anyone has told you but the Gilroy brothers who wrote this series also wrote the Bourne Trilogy & an all time great movie in Michael Clayton
Im glad she rewatched some of her reaction video of Andor for a refresh. But i bet she still has forgotten Rogue One took place before and leads up to the 1977 Luke Skywalker Star Wars movie lol. Yes, i know she saw a Death Star being built at the end of last season, but i bet she feels there were dozens of Death stars built across different Star Wars stuff. She absolutely does not know Mon Mothma was a character in the first star wars movie. She has no idea what a "Yavin" is or means. And im willing to bet when Benjamin Bratt's character shows up, she will have no idea who his daughter at the time is. Which is fine, she doesnt care that much about Star Wars lore. People need to relax and stop yelling at her to care about it, or try to point out easter eggs...just enjoy the reactions!
Yeah, the teaser at the end of season one was not informative, since as you pointed out, the Star Wars franchise goes back to that well quite a bit, reaching a fever pitch with Episode IX's "Star Destroyer Fleet: Oops! All Death Stars!" I've been consuming Star Trek lore since the early 80's, but I'd forgotten who Andor was, and was distracted the first time they put the 5 BBY onscreen or whatever, so when I first tried to watch this show sans Nat react, I had no idea when it was taking place or why I should care about any of it.
LOVE you missing the pyramids at the end which are supposed to tell you that the planet Cassian was stuck in with the squabbling rebels was Yavin IV, aka the “Y” in “BBY” 😂 they could’ve had the title of the planet in the corner like they have for others to save confusion It’s supposed to highlight how the rebels go from disparate groups of fighters that they are here, to an actual unified rebellion in just a few years
I mean...you are talking to someone who doesnt know what "Yavin" is or means lol. So why does she need to recognize what the pyramids represent?? She definitely doesnt care what BBY means :P. I wish people didnt feel the need to point out Easter eggs to someone who doesnt care about Easter lol
Just because a show is released 3 episodes at a time doesn’t mean you need to binge all 3, damn… took me weeks to finish Andor first time around. Some people like to enjoy shows over a period of time lmao We’re not getting a rewatch of Rogue One bc it doesn’t change anything. Cassian still dies at the end, Saw still dies, and even M***** dies offscreen so even that doesn’t have asatisfying payoff. I don’t think Nat hasn’t done an actual movie rewatch aside from maybe the Rogue Cut of DOFP She rewatched the video so she knows what she needs to know
I’m new but please watch the new squid game season. IT WOULD TRAUMATIZE U. Please🙂🙏
I wasn’t criticizing. I just think it’s more satisfying, imo & just more my preference. I’m excited for her to see it, knowing what’s to come
Pretty sure they were playing best of 5, "5 hands".
When I first watched I didn't have time to watch all 3 episodes in an arc at once. I still enjoyed it just fine.
Cassian knew that there was a gun hidden in that compartment because he's used that ship before. He used it in the first episode of season 1 when he killed those 2 corporate cops. Then the Bix, Brasso and other towns people escaped on that ship in the finale of season 1 from Ferrix. He must have kept using it for the rebellion, until those idiot Maya Pei people shot it up.
Remember people, she watched this episode and last in the same session and there's a delay between when she records and when it comes up on Patreon. Been seeing lots of unfair criticism how she isn't reading comments when the comments came after she recorded. And imo, although a rewatch of Rogue One is nice, having a freshened memory of the events to better appreciate her first time watch and recorded reaction of Andor is also nice. Andor was made knowing people already watched Rogue One, there are many moments that just don't hit as well if you don't remember anything from a movie 9 years earlier.
So why should patrons bother commenting then?
REWATCH ROGUE ONE AT THE END
If you look at some of the items in Luthens shop you’ll see some of the headdresses Natalie Portman wore in the prequels. Also some stuff that references the animated series and some video games.
Cas knew there was a gun there because that was his ship he was meant to steal the TIE and porko was to deliver it the rest of the way and Cas was meant to take that ship so he stashed his fathers gun there.
I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet, Luthen's antique collection has a few of Padme's headdresses as semi-random props in the foreground and background. There was a close up on one in this episode. They aren't relevant to the plot, just there to fill the store. Even though they aren't plot items, it would make sense in universe for him to have them as items from semi-recent history and imo meaningful as she was a freedom fighter and leader. I think those are the only ones of the dozen or so props in the store used from previous films you personally would recognize if pointed out.
Damn, I really wish we'd finish an arc a week.
I don't understand peoples obsession with the arcs. Yeah the show covers mini story arcs over 3 or 4 episodes at a time, but it's still intended for each episode to be it's own thing.
yea audio was rough back in the day.. you should rewatch LOTR with your new set up! it's been a :D
The planet Andor was stuck on with those clownish Rebels was actually Yavin 4, ie, the Rebel base, ie, the site of the Battle of Yavin (BBY)
come on Nat, a rewatch at the end of the show would have been so much better. the show is set up in a way that leads exactly into rogue one
Welp, there goes the chance at a fresh Rogue One reaction, we tried lol
She rewatched it and still didn't recognize Yavin haha
I thinks s2 is so much better watching it in each 3 episode arc. It plays more like a movie or at least like a complete chapter.
I’ve seen other YouTubers do their reactions episode to episode which I think is a matter of workflow and YouTube metrics (I…don’t know that world), but Natalie usually drops her YouTubes of tv series in blocks so maybe it is just a comfort or workflow preference for her 🤷🏻♂️
