Who Else Knows?

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.

The way Endor manages to perfect and upgrade Rogue One from moment to moment is nothing short of brilliant and unprecedented. The dynamic between K and Cassian is just as great as we remembered it, and I wish we could see more of her. The balance in K specifically between humor and cynicism and the fact that she is a scary droid who slaughtered innocent civilians is what makes this character so interesting, and it is reflected in this episode. The end of Dedra Miro is coming and rightly so, and for the first time she will have to deal with her actions as a metaphor for Icarus, who sinned with the sin of hubris and erred in her judgment. Kleya stole the show here too and her character continues to be phenomenal, and overall, just before the endgame in episode 12, here too we get another masterpiece. There really is nothing to comment on because everything is perfect.

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.

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.

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!
