Who Else Knows?

What the production team and cast have accomplished with Andor is nothing short of spectacular. I have been a Star Wars fan for a long time, but I never thought that my all time favorite Star Wars property would be one that does not have any Jedi, lightsabers or the Force.

Andor is a show about resistance and rebellion against a fascist power that seems overwhelming and all powerful. It shows how the courage of a few who are willing to sacrifice and stand up for the right and just cause are able to accomplish against st overwhelming odds. It is also a story about love and friendship. A star wars story about eveyday people on the ground who stood up to fascism and tyranny and made a difference.

I am too emotionally invested in this series, I watch it, and I can feel it. It is of our time, the impotence we feel against systems that are there to oppress us, denigrate our support for one another,, that we can fight against this, that we do matter as a collective, that we can stand up ourselves and for others.

I'm middle aged, but when I dream and remember what it is to be young, to have that feeling that I can feel the potential to make a difference as an individual, that I feel the adventure and potential that we all have in us at some point... it makes me remember that. It reminds me of a world full of possibilities where I have a chance against the oppressors, where I could be the hero, or at least part of something heroic, kids can do that. The gift that this series has given me, is making me feel that again. That's pretty special, and I am very grateful.

This must be art.

Damn this show continues to deliver with every single episode! Suspense, a feeling of dread and actors who gives their all in every scene, no matter how big or small their role is!

This episode felt like the moment where the small pieces, that will lead to Rogue One and eventually A New Hope, are starting to come together!

The scenes with Krennic was great! I never thought much of him in Rogue One, but he feels like an actual threat, not to be underestimated, in this episode! The way he interogates Dedra.. chills!

This episode also shows us K2 and the relationship and banther he has with Cassian! I like how he also turns into an important character in this show!

The final scene.. amazing speech from Kleya! She really nails home just how important Luthen was to The Rebellion!

Who Else Knows continues where Make it Stop left off and creates another tension filled situation.

I cannot mention details without spoiling, but it is safe to say that characters such as Cassian, K-2SO, Kleya, Dedra, and Krennic are used in the best possible ways by the writers.

It is clear to see that the main purpose of this final 3-episode arc is to lead us into the film Rogue One. It is pleasing to see that the first two thirds of the trilogy feels like purposeful storytelling and not fan service that simply connects the two entities. I am interested to know the fate of characters like Kleya and Dedra and this makes it feel compelling up to the final moment.

All actors give strong performances and the visuals are great as always.

In the final episode of the Star Wars franchise, Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) is the protagonist of the Rogue One series. Despite his obscurity and lack of recognition, Cassian's sacrifices and growth have been as monumental as any Jedi training. His obscurity is not cruelty from an indifferent universe, but virtue in being the anonymous hero no one expects to see coming. Dedra Mero (Denise Gough) is accused of collecting intel for the Rebellion and giving her top-level clearances to an untrustworthy subordinate. She gives up Syril for this regime, and this is what she gets. Dedra is arrested for pursuing Luthen (now-written off Stellan Skarsgärd) against orders, and her suspicious activities now seem like her doing. A load of Death Star-related emails were forwarded to her by mistake, a strange lapse in error from an otherwise strictly regimented bureaucracy. Dedra speaks to Heert (Jacob James Beswick), another one of her underlings with similarly cutthroat ambitions to rise the ranks and pick up where Dedra was forced to leave behind. Dedra provides a reluctant tip to check specific signals before offering, "It's probably too late." It is not too late, but how is Dedra going to know that from where she's sitting? Kleya, who has transformed from Luthen's unassuming assistant to assertive revolutionary, now feels every word she speaks carries weight. With her hospital carnage opening the episode, Kleya holes up in Luthen's safehouse to broadcast a signal that is slowly received by Andor and K-2SO, who has grown attached to Cassian in a short year's time since his awakening. As Cassian receives the Death Star information, he and Kleya have a more important chat about their roles in the revolution. They discuss their roles in the revolution, which is strangely concurrent with the Stormtroopers' advance on them. Kleya defends Luthen's memory that he died for the information that Kleya just shared, and when Cassian confirms he will relay it to the Rebels, she reminds him: "You owe him that." Andor ends its second-to-last episode with Stormtroopers closing in on Cassian and Kleya, setting up a grand finale for its titular hero. We know he's not going to die-not yet, anyway. But how Cassian will get out and relay the information to the Rebels is a pure shot in the dark. After escaping the Imperial hospital, Kleya finds an abandoned apartment in Coruscant, which she had prepared for emergencies. She breaks into the cement wall with a hammer and spike, assembling old radio parts and sending an SOS using a coded signal directed to Yaba, where Wilmon operates the receiving machine. Cassian and their new droid, K, believe the signal must be from Luthen, but the SOS contains a code only Cassian understands.

Wilmon brings the message to Cassian and their new droid, K, who believe the signal must be from Luthen. The Rebellion leaders accuse Wilmon of endangering their entire operation. Dedra Meero, who was arrested by Director Orson Krennic after Jung's death, informs Krennic about Kleya, who may possess valuable intelligence regarding the locations of hidden Rebel forces. Krennic refuses to let Meero participate in the search, instead assigning the task to another ISB supervisor. Dedra instructs an ISB supervisor to monitor and intercept older forms of communication, noting that Luthen kept several vintage radios in his shop. By repairing some of Luthen's equipment, they trace another SOS signal from the mainframe, leading them to Kleya. The ISB agents track Kleya to an apartment building, but Cassian and K arrive first. The droid stays behind, alerting them if anyone approaches. K accidentally turns off the radio and doesn't know how to turn it back on, leaving him unable to warn Cassian of the incoming Imperial agents. Instead, K launches a preemptive attack on a group of men stationed outside, even storming their Imperial Transport Vehicle. Kleya informs Cassian of Luthen's death and refuses to flee, determined to deliver the information about the Death Star to the Rebellion leadership. ISB troops close in, leaving us to wonder whether Cassian and K can get Kleya out alive.
