the powerhouse that is diego luna’s acting is just astounding. and never overshadowed by all the character actors who are doing completely stunning jobs acting their hearts out alongside him (the casting director is fucking AMAZING. no Ls whatsoever), but one thing natalie watson and austin walker pointed out in the AMCA podcast is that luna is in every single episode where almost no other actors in the show are, and he’s basically carrying the entire show, which in a show of this scale is… very impressive. a LOT of screen time is spent studying his face in close up shots and having the audience look at his reactions and he’s really doing an incredible job. so much of the narkina 5 arc is us watching andor watch what’s going on around him and it’s just perfect. most other actors would have a hard time being noticed or telling a story while in these intense moments with serkis or skarsgard but luna fucking carries it.

Honestly, I think my favorite thing about the Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor duo is that IRL they're kinda the opposite of their characters. I remember the story of Ewan taking Hayden on his motorcycle and Hayden just holding on for dear life.

Basically this but reversed.

Nine hundred years of study and training, of teaching and of meditation, all now focused, and refined, and resolved into this single moment; the sole purpose of his vast span of existence had been to prepare him to enter the heart of night and bring his light against the darkness.

In this post from yesterday, the OP pointed out that, in regards to whether or not Anakin should kill the Sith Lord, he will always be wrong. No matter what he chooses, to save the Sith or kill him, he’s wrong. And that’s true, and I think it’s really interesting. Why can’t Anakin make the right choice in Revenge of the Sith? Is it just because the narrative won’t let him? I mean yeah, on some level, but George Lucas was always very clear that Anakin’s Fall was about his choices, and painting it as narratively inevitable kind of ruins what GL was trying to say. In a universe where even destiny can be subverted by free will, it feels weird to say ‘because it’s a prequel’.

So why, on a Watsonian level, will Anakin always be wrong?

Because, in each scene, he’s acting out of fear, anger, and attachment. With Dooku, Anakin’s angry. This is the guy that cut his arm off, that humiliated him, that hurt Obi-Wan and kidnapped Palpatine. Anakin hates him, and he makes the kill/spare choice out of that hatred, so he kills him. If Anakin was able to let go of that anger and think rationally, he would realize that Dooku wasn’t a threat and that killing him would be wrong (which he recognizes after he releases his anger) and that Dooku is far more valuable alive. Dooku is the leader of the Separatists, so the Republic could use him to sue for peace. Dooku is a Sith, so the Jedi could interrogate him to find out the identity of the real puppet master. Dooku should live.

With Palpatine, Anakin’s scared. He’s terrified for Padmé’s life, for his unborn child, for his mentor and father figure. Anakin is attached, so he can’t live without these people. He needs his child to live, and his wife, and he needs Palpatine, who he deeply cares for, to live to save them. (From his POV, anyway. We all know Palpatine would’ve killed Padmé anyway.) So when Mace is threatening Palpatine, Anakin wants to save him. But of course Anakin is wrong to save him, because Palpatine, ironically enough, is too dangerous to be left alive. He’s killed millions, if not billions, and will kill billions more in the future. He controls the Senate and Courts, so no legal action can be taken against him, and he’s a powerful Sith minutes away from declaring himself dictator and murdering all the Jedi. If Anakin wasn’t so scared of Palpatine’s death, he could see that the responsible thing to do would be to kill Palpatine, or at least stand by and let Mace do it. Palpatine should die.

But Anakin would always choose wrong, because he’s acting out of attachment, he’s making his decision based on emotions that serve the Dark Side. Anakin doesn’t choose wrong because it’s canon that he becomes Vader and so he must choose wrong, he chooses wrong because he goes against Lucas’s thesis that attachment leads to the Dark Side.

Is anyone else just in complete bafflement and wonder at Andor being actually greenlit by Disney those assholes in the corporate office? CANON lesbian representation, overt allusions to in-universe racialization of characters (Diego Luna is described as a man with dark features in the police APB and it actively contributes to his experience in the universe!!), police brutality and criticism of the police state spelled out in the most painstaking terms possible, and the Empire!!! People have already talked about how scary the TIE fighters are allowed to be. The Empire isn’t cute. It’s terrifying and it’s run by real humans committing atrocities, not just monsters and faceless soldiers and comic relief incompetents. Again and again I feel like I’m seeing things that have never been allowed to feel so raw and real in mainline SW, if they were present at all. And the fact that every other aspect of the show is on point, that no sacrifices in story or characterization or worldbuilding or cinematography or production value were made in the process — I don’t even have words. Idk what the general sentiment of the Star Wars fandom is, I haven’t been paying attention. But if Andor has only ten fans I am one of them. If Andor has only one fan it is me. If the entire world is against Andor I am against the world.
