The SCREAM I let out when Brasso hit the trooper in the head with Maarva’s brick… the moment the funeral started I kept thinking “I hope he throws her brick at the troopers” AGHHH this show is too good

I can’t get over the musical decisions made in “Forming Up/Unto Stone We Are” (the funeral march song in the finale). Because they could have made it all polished, but they didn’t. They left in every too-loud pickup breath and clumsily-tongued note. It was a bit off-key. When the tempo changes, the rhythm stumbles a bit before it finds its step and comes back stronger than ever.

Most of the times I’ve seen music being played within the events of the story on-screen, they fade out the realism after the first few moments in favor of a polished track so it sounds and looks good for television. Situations where there’s no reason to expect the performers to be perfectly prepared prodigies are kind of hand-waved away as “eh, it’s TV, they can be amazing so that it sounds good for the audience.”

And I’m so glad Andor didn’t do that, they can’t do that, because everything about this show is about peeling back all the layers of heroism and villainy and larger-than-life crazy space plotlines and finding the sheer humanity underneath. This show is so real and it’s so human.

The people of Ferrix playing in this procession aren’t musicians by trade. It shouldn’t sound flawless. And it doesn’t. It sounds like people. People united in grief and determination and defiance, coming together to create something real and flawed and beautiful. And I’m glad we got to hear it.

"It’s easy for the dead to tell you to fight, and maybe it’s true, maybe fighting is useless. Perhaps it’s too late.

But I’ll tell you this… if I could do it again, I’d wake up early and be fighting these bastards from the start."

another day, another ANDOR RE-WATCH <3

#it's such a good fucking series #i love the 3 episode arc format #and the phrase “never more than 12” still sends chills down my spine #rray.txt #andor re-watch

[someinstant]

So I had to watch the last two episodes of ANDOR on my phone because first I was taking a bunch of teenagers on a trip to DC, and then I was in a cabin with my family on the edge of a swamp and my sister is only up to episode four and no one else has watched the show. Thus, last night I was able to finally sit down and watch episodes 11 and 12 on a television, and now I have a few Thoughts I would like to share:

Remember how in episode 8 Bix and Brasso are talking about Maarva's decline, and Bix says she fell? Brasso asks how, and Bix says she was trying to see if the drainage grate on Rix Road was open-- because she wanted the Rebellion to be able to go into the hotel and take on the Empire. And she says it with that sad little smile, like, We know all know she's imagining things, she's on her way out, but wouldn't that be nice?

IT'S CASSIAN. CASSIAN USES THE DRAINAGE GATE AND GOES INTO THE HOTEL AND TAKES ON THE EMPIRE TO HELP BIX. HE'S THE FUCKING REBELLION, MAARVA. My whole heart, jesus.

When Cass stops by his adoptive father's funerary stone (and gives that sweet, sad half-smile that Diego Luna can just break me with), his fingers and hand are all bloody, and I couldn't figure out why-- and then I remembered he'd been bare rock climbing with Melshi to escape patrols on Narkina 5 in the previous episode, and I wanted to kiss the continuity supervisors for this show on the mouth, because actions have weight and consequences, and injuries take time to heal, and of COURSE Cassian is marked by Narkina 5. Of course it bit into his body the same way it bit into his soul.

The folks over on the A MORE CIVILIZED AGE podcast are absolutely right: Cassian is a water-type Pokémon. The man is always in association with water: breaking out of a dam-slash-base that holds back a sacred river on Aldhani, hiding his money and weapons in a shower in the hotel and then arrested by the sea when he tries to run away to Niamos, marooned in a prison surrounded by water, caught (like a fish in a net! LIKE MEERO'S 'ARE YOU A FISH' SPEECH WITH BIX!) by fishermen by a lake on Narkina 5, finding out Maarva has died while the waves crash on Niamos, listening to Nemik's manifesto as the rainstorm comes down on Ferrix, wading through the water of the Rix Road drain to get to the hotel to liberate Bix-- the water imagery is just there.

And you know why? DO YOU KNOW WHY? It's because water is fucking impossible to pin down. It flows. It shifts. It can freeze solid, become a vapor, bring life, drown the unwary-- it's necessary to life, and antithetical to it. It takes the shape it's forced into. You want an elemental association for a spy? It's fucking water.

In conclusion, I hate everything, Tony Gilroy et al are monsters, I HAD MY CASSIAN ANDOR OBSESSION UNDER CONTROL YOU BASTARDS WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS SHOW SO GOOD.

The only good news is now I have about eighteen months to write an ABSURD amount of fic to fill the void Wednesdays will now represent.

watching andor has convinced me that the best finn and rey story really would have been a long form finn-centric episodic television show depicting Finn as a renegade stormtrooper turned rebel in the original 1970′s era. this could have given finn’s story a lot more time to slowly develop and breathe on its own with him as the lead, and to allow john boyega more space for his masterful acting skills and personal growth as a performer. i think rey being a parallel original trilogy era scrapper trying to survive at the edges of empire before being forced to go on the run with him would also have provided a really interesting counterpart and character. in general i think they were the shining lights of the new trilogy and the most interesting parts who got wildly hemmed in by disney’s need to put as many Iconic/well-known star wars characters and their children from the original trilogy in. watching andor has also really ground in how both over simplistic and heart wrenchingly depressing The Empire Is Back Again In A Generation IS, obviously there are things to say about fighting fascism as a kind of perpetual issue but i don’t think that was disney’s real intention so much as trying to reset all the pieces to create a situation as nostalgically similar to the original trilogy as possible and that does grave injustice to the themes in those films. i think there are finn and rey centric stories to tell without the first order or bn s0l0 plot points at all, with them more firmly centered as the heroes of their own stories! 

#just. thoughts. on the starry wars #i'm not saying andor exactly but i think moving their story back to the original trilogy and just... skipping all this sequel trilogy stuff #as well as allowing time for a much slower more naturalistic development #would have worked WONDERS for them #original trilogy era finnrey you are living in my head #what if they gave john boyega 12 episodes to chew the screen as the lead huh what if. what if it was FINN #just thinking about all the small character scenes andor gave us. yeah yeah

as much as i’m annoyed with this week’s mando episode (and the last, and the one before that), i’m repeating to myself that i should take my own advice and see how the excessive quests pay off later. Buying R5 led to the Covert moving to Nevarro and fighting a torture droid gave Din an excuse to give up the darksaber. Maybe Bo and Din working so well together this time would lead to them co-Mand’aloring. Maybe the nonsense will pay off, yet why am i so impatient unlike with Andor?

It’s not just about the lack of a three-act structure, or even an overall ending in sight. Was there enough production details to glue me to that screen? passionate acting or speeches that reign free in my mind?

With every andor arc there end goal is established first and foremost. Season 2′s finale set up two main ones: 1. Grogu 2. Darksaber. The first one is resolved way too quickly and the second one, after so many convolutions, is sent off with three sentences. With the sacrifice of his helmeted identity, in exchange if unwillingly, is the authority to lead all Mandalorians. I think season three is a good time for a show to diver deeper into its protagoinst, maybe give them an existential crisis. I expected the season to explore the different Mandalorian factions and gave a resolution to it, as a backdrop to Din’s personal debate on faith - and maybe even stay focused on it. Have a few debates and politics about neutraility or militarism. Maybe even farm a little if there’s only orcs and mythical fish left on that planet now! Andor-level environmental storytelling might’ve been what a season focused on the Mandalorian system needs.

It’s definitely NOT as if EVERY Star Wars show needs to be Andor - one would argue that’s why S3E3 felt out of place. This season can’t seem to grasp its genre. It was an episodic adventure with a clan of two and that’s what people expect when you return them to status quo prematurely.
