I love the whole Jedi-Sith lore, the different aliens and planets but to me this is what Star Wars is at its core. It's about people uniting under one cause to fight to live in a world, a galaxy that is not ruled by fear and oppression.
"I burn my life, to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see."
"You think I'm crazy? Yes, I am. Revolution is not for the sane. Look at us. Unloved. Hunted. Cannon fodder. We'll all be dead before the Republic is back and yet… here we are."
Man I just watched Rogue One again and I’m seeing it and Andor in a totally new light. Episodes 10-12 were a bit boring, but when you look at them as the setup to Rogue One with Rogue one being the series finale, makes the series as a whole a lot better.
I watched Rogue One before but I didn’t really absorb all of the implications of what they were doing. I knew they were getting the Death Star plans, but I didn’t appreciate the people’s sacrifices to do that. Now after watching that again, all of the shit in the series is becoming more impactful.
Between Andor and Rogue One, this probably is the best story telling in Star Wars, and this is coming from someone that was only interested in the struggle between Jedi and Sith.
Now I’m feeling like the Jedi and Sith shit, while I still love it, diminishes the importance of regular people’s sacrifices. I’m almost hating on Luke now, like how this dude going to swoop in and get all the glory, smh.
On another note, I almost wish Andor would have been something named Birth of the Rebellion where they follow Andor, Luthen, Saw, Jyn, Mothma, Organa, etc. and how all of their diverging efforts came together at the end. I know there’s the cartoons, but I need those stories with this level of writing and acting.
