FIRST TIME WATCHING: Andor S2E10

Wait I gasped when you said that Kleya was Cassian’s sister because I literally hadn’t heard that theory 😭 it DOES make sense but I also kind of hate it at the same time so I’m glad to hear it’s not confirmed 😅 LOVE theorising about anything Star Wars tho so I encourage that xxx

The backstory on Luthen and Kleya is so moving. We see that SHE was the driving force behind his rebel activity. He wanted to live a peaceful life after everything he’d done, she wanted to fight back. He was a vehicle for her vengeance, I think as a way to atone for what he did to her parents and people. When he gave her the choice to push the button, and she WAS willing, he didn’t let her. He just did it for her, so she wouldn’t have the blood on her hands 😭 And I didn’t realise until she was in the room that this was not a rescue mission 😭 I mean she would never have been able to get him out of there, so that was her saving him really. But damn. A love/hate relationship for the ages

“At the moment, only 2 pieces of questionable provenance in the gallery… any guesses?” As both Luthen and Dedra are playing games with each other 😭 THEY are the fakes he’s talking about

The Empire is very Nazi-coded. You could draw so many parallels with WW2 and some of these plots. But When they refer to “Axis”, I think of Axis and Allies, which was a board game based on the literal Axis powers of Germany and Japan, vs. the Allied powers of the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States during WW2. Ghorman is heavily French-coded and represents nazi-occupied France during the war.

Wow, Cassian's sister learned to speak Basic and completely change her accent REAL fast! 😂

Something I really enjoy with the writing of this show is how carefully they track and understand the dissemination of information. Characters learning what happened or why is a great way to provide exposition in a way that feels organic rather than two characters telling each other something that they both know just for the audience’s needs. And characters *not* knowing things provides believable context for why they do something that could be seen as foolish. I love it so much and I feel too many writers don’t do that as well.

As tragic as it was, Lonni's death was the only way his family would be safe. There was never any time to get him or his family to Yavin, and Luthen knew it. He barely made it back to his shop in time as it was. And if Lonni had been captured (or even if he'd gotten away), the Empire would have tortured his family to get him to return or talk.

A ton of people had the same exact theory you had, it was so popular that Tony Gilroy came out and denied it. Sadly a lot orphaned kids in this galaxy. There are a lot of symbolic parallels, so for sure you're not making connections out of nowhere.

Just won the Emmy for writing last night, specifically for episode before this one. Did you just call that senile grandmother with dementia in the hospital a....... THING?!? 😉 Hope she scats her heart out for a good 100 more years.

Old Boy on Friday… did you watch it already? ARE YOU OKAY?!

GOOOSH, Lonnie. My HEART. I was so gutted by what happened with him. I loved how shocked you were about it though, that's very much how I'd been when it happened.

Hehe. Never made the Cassian-Kleya connection. What exactly made u think they r siblings?

This has been an amazing show, I just hope Disney realise that they need to make more shows like this and not just churn out shows of lesser quality. As always thanks Nat for watching these shows with us..

Yeah, Kleya isn't his sister - don't beat yourself up though - we, the audience, love to make these sorts of connections and I'm sure so many people jumped to that opinion. The reason that she isn't lies in Cassian's accent. In the show, Cassian has an accent because he grew up on Kenari and spoke the language of that planet. He only learns English (Galactic Basic) later in life. This would be the same for his sister. She would have a Spanish/Mexican accent like Diego Luna. We meet Kleya as a child and she has a British accent. Again, I won't go quite so far as to say this 100% a fact - but I've listened to Tony Gilroy many times and the accents in this show are very thought out. Love watching this show with this community!

Natalie - Make sure to put your blurb about figuring out Andor's sister at the front of the video. Because nothing will get you more comments and action on the Youtube algorithm

Nat, the creators confirmed we never saw Cassian's sister on the show. It's not Kleya. Good guess though!

Kleya is 1000% not Cassian’s sister lmao

Oh no are we gonna have another blerb after the finale where she realizes Kleya isn't Cassian's sister? Nat can't escape having to do these blerbs.

Fingers crossed the next show is not a Disney+ show. Hoping Peaky Blinders S2 is an option for the poll

hahaha Kleya is NOT Andors sister Sidenote: maybe this was just me but the video lagged and jumped a couple of seconds a dozen times throughout the episode

Kleya is not Cassian's sister haha.

Hey, Nat. What are your thoughts on breaking the weekly schedule into its own post? Or maybe adding a ‘schedule’ tag? I think it might make that info a little easier to find.

You may have already worked this out again or been told, but Kleya isn't Cassian's sister. She was just a child on the planet where Luthen was sent to do whatever awful ethnic cleansing the Empire were running. I'd suggest watching the behind the scenes videos that are on Disney Plus alongside this season for more context on some of this and the character decisions.

Also, how adorable was that alien granny at the hospital loool. hope she got better and lived a great life.

5-time Emmy Award Winning Series ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love that we learn that Kleya was the driving force of the entire operation, it's been her crusade all along. Luthen was the "assistant", so to speak (and her mentor/ father obviously).

Oh, it's finally here

Happy Monday Nat. Hope you had an awesome weekend too. Really enjoyed the Friday streams. They were a lot of fun. Oh boy. Leaving the Andor folks hanging a week for the finale. You're cruel Nat ha ha 😆
