I wanted her to leave with me. I know. I came to get her. She told me. I couldn’t get back. You shouldn’t be here now, Cass. But the last time I saw her, we argued. Don’t. I told her I was coming back. Stop. I should have never left that morning. Stop. She told me you’d say all this. — ANDOR (2022) ⪢ EP12 Rix Road

ONE WAY OUT
There is one way out. Right now, the building is ours. You need to run, climb, kill! You need to help each other. You see someone who’s confused, someone who is lost, you get them moving and you keep them moving until we put this place behind us. There are 5,000 of us. If we can fight half as hard as we’ve been working, we will be home in no time. One way out!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that even though every aspect of the prison is meant to pit every single prisoner against each other with forced hierarchy and competition, everyone is STILL persisting to work together. Tables coordinate to keep track of what machinery is affected by the electrocuted floor. Teams work together to find ways to assist and work with a physically and mentally-disabled teammate. Entire floors use sign language to communicate news across the entire facility.
They’re all still looking out for each other in a cage designed to make them fight like dogs
I meannn, he could switch sides and just, yknow, snatch a kx droid to go with him 👀
Did anyone else see this and think about how Syril might be the reason Cassian and K2 meet?

Andor S2E6 Spoilers
Something about Andor pulling a bury your gays in 2025 feels not very great in a (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ kind of way.
Not because I think they did it maliciously, mostly because it’s the same kind of agony characters dying in Andor usually evokes and I guess that was exactly the point.
They made it incredibly poetic how Cinta is “only here because of [Vel]” and then dies on that same mission for absolutely nothing. Her death points out how fragile the rebellion is when people don’t follow orders and even if the rebels get away with the weapons it’s not a win because that’s what the empire wanted. So it’s a net negative in the end because the trade for an objective that they would’ve gotten anyway is the life of one of their most competent allies. T_T
It makes a lot of sense from the storytelling perspective and is very well executed, as Andor usually is, but did it need to happen to the gays right after the first gay on screen kiss?
I am simply devastated but that’s nothing new after an Andor episode :(
I think in this regard especially, Cassian achieves what Luthen really wants to be. At least on a moral standpoint because Cassian does all this and still so very deeply cares about everyone, while Luthen has had to stop caring and instead make horrible horrible choices.
I love that yet again we see Cassian take a back seat so someone else can rally the troops, someone else takes center stage and the credit.
In this case, it's Maarva. Last time they spoke, he said he didn't understand why she was staying, why she wanted to fight a revolution against an impossible force.
But this time, he gets it. He lets her word be the rallying call for her home, he makes sure EVERYBODY gets to hear it, that the entire town gets called out to listen to her final speech as he goes in to rescue Bix in the shadows.
He runs from hiding place to hiding place as Brasso stands at the front of a crowd, walks them towards a wall of Imperial soldiers, and leads them in the fight for freedom.
Cassian isn't a Big Damn Hero. He's not someone whose name is known or remembered. He's not a leader who makes the big speech to a crowd.
He's a spy. He observes, he notices things, he figures out the plan that has to happen in order to succeed at the goal. He's the one who puts it all together and then steps away from the spotlight so he can do it all over again.
I think Marva would be incredibly happy knowing that Brasso used her funeral stone to bitchslap some stormtroopers.
such a huge fan of whatever the hell syril and dedra have going on right now in andor. syril is such a freak and dedra is just chill with it? protective over it? kinda into it? they are the cringest freakest losers the galaxy has ever seen. he spent last season stalking and obsessing over her and now they live together. he buys groceries and she pets his face. he face plants on her bed and she goes Awwwww. and he is still so awkward but she is just as awkward? obsessed with the shot of them just standing silently in the living room not looking at each other waiting for syril's mother to show up. they are like two strange fascist sunflowers growing beautifully side by side. not to mention syril still being religious about his corporate 9-5 while dedra gets put on an intragalactic propaganda campaign. but it is also quite sweet in a way. syril gets overstimulated at the family function and has to go to the other room to have a moment and his mother tells dedra Isn't he just so strange? surely you'll easily make him less strange. and then dedra says I like him so strange Kill yourself. what a lovely family.
The last thing vel said to cinta was "we have a minute." And she was right. They only had a minute
What Is Star Wars To You?
Hey, everybody!!!! I'm working on a rewrite of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, and I'm trying to get lots of people's thoughts on what Star Wars is to them and what really makes Star Wars *Star Wars*, ya know?
I'm really curious, because for me, most of Disney's Star Wars content has really just not felt like Star Wars. I really did not like the sequel trilogy or most of the live action shows, but I absolutely adore TCW, TBB, and Andor, because they all really hit whatever it is that is Star Wars to me.
Anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts!! Also, no hate to anyone who does love the sequel trilogy or other Disney Star Wars content, I would love to hear what it is about it that makes you love it and makes it feel like Star Wars to you!
Just realized I didn’t post the alternate version of this card so here’s the other background. I’ve been swamped with school recently so I haven’t been able to draw
I just watched Rouge One for the first time and somehow I’d forgotten that Star Wars is allergic to happiness
we need more concerning women in media. I want to be watching a TV show and to go "oh that woman has problems." I want to watch a woman constantly make the worst decisions in the world with no sign of stopping
Oh, you threw the first brick at Ferrix? Bitch, I WAS the first brick at Ferrix
-Maarva, probably
I'm ten minutes into the first episode of Andor and I'm still distracted thinking about the alien leather daddy aggressively doing lunges in a plastic bubble to entice red light district window shoppers who shows up two seconds in
