SPOILER Andor Ep. 4 Discussion

Oh did anyone else react the way I did to Luthen getting into character before setting down at Coruscant. I actually shouted at the TV (while watching by myself) "NO F---ING WAY!" It was the first genuine surprise in the show so far. And it was a delightful one.

 

I was afraid that with the backlash of Reva, that we would no longer have diversity in these projects which is insane. I was truly wrong. Episode 4 showed me that diversity can be utilized correctly with good actors. Great story, great direction, diversity won't be a sore thumb, just for the sake... I did notice an Asian officer in the first episode with no lines at all. That must be corrected also, but done in the right way going forward.

I never looked for diversity, I've been a fan since 1977. The internet backlash of Finn in TFA's first teaser trailer, released on November 28, 2014, as a stormtrooper, was an eye opener. With all sorts of alien species in Star Wars, I never thought diversity was an issue... now I look for it for that very reason.

 

I wasn't talking about ethnic diversity at all. And I think Moses was great as Reva. You will not see anything like Reva in Andor or need to see any of that kind of acting style, though. That's kind of one of the points of the show. You won't see any acting like McGregor's for that matter. It's not a question of "good" acting or "bad" acting.

 

Hardly worthy of comparison. That scene was a memory. And probably not even a literal memory but a symbolic one. Its purpose was to tell us we are in the Jedi Temple which we know is on Coruscant and this is Obi Wan still training Anakin.

Form follows function.

And using it "properly" is an entirely different prospect for each different SW show never mind different films and shows in general. Determining that the volume wasn't used properly in OWK by watching The Batman is an absurd thing to claim to say the least.

 

This is kind of what I mean? We are consumers. We're not movie makers. The reason this debate is kind of dumb is because it's not based on the technology at all. It's based on people's opinions about the series itself. That's why it's predictable. I had a good feeling Andor would be well received (since it wasn't gonna be a legacy character thing), it didn't use the volume, so people will say it's because of the volume.

Yep, it's an involving technology. This kind of happened with CGI. No one complains about CGI in films they like, but it's been a pretty lazy form of online film criticism since the sequels.

 

The thing is I pretty much noticed all the Volume shots in Kenobi, while I didn't even notice one in The Batman. Yes, the later had much more money and thus more talented people to work with. So, the comparison isn't that fair, I agree.

I have dozens films, which I like or even love which feature bad effects or visuals. For example 'Matrix: Reloaded'. I like the movie, but the CG is just bad from time to time.

 

Hey did I catch a slight "easter egg" reference to Scarif.....did one of the Imperial officers mention a "large buildup" there or something?

 

I didn't put any words in your mouth.

Yeah. Of "construction material". Or something.

 

I suspect the carbon frozen pieces will either be creatures or items that will otherwise perish immediately if exposed to an atmosphere.

 

For my part, I got an aimmediate hunch that this young rebel was Chirrut Îmwe (of course, he is not). I don't know why...

Agreed.

Wondering too. At this point he can go both pathes. Which one will he take ?
I'm sure he will chose the revenge : hunt, find and kill Cassian Andor.

Goosebumps here too

Geeze. Am I not alone ?
I was humiliated yesterday night, when girlfriend asked to me : "Hey boy, is Andor ep 4 out?" and I suddenly realized I was one day late!!!!

In Andor Episode I, the first time we meet Timm, he speaks about something to occur on Wobani.

 

What was Ahsoka doing during this time?

 

I enjoyed this episode because it built up anticipation for the battle to come. Mon Motham was awesome, it was good to see what home life was like for a senator & risks she takes showing support for the rebel side. Also liked Vel Sartha, I can see where Cassian got his future leadership skills & she is a great strategist.

 

On the basis that this runs parallel to Rebels (season 1 anyway), she’s secretly helping Bail Organa and the growing rebellion under the code name Fulcrum.

 

I wonder if it’s the Mon Calamari that Mothma was considering bringing into the fold.
