  You look like Bucky Barnes if he became a dad.

  As a Scottish person,  I found the Aldhani arc very interesting. That arc was filmed in the highlands of Scotland. The forced eviction of the shepherds from the highlands and relocation to the lowlands mirrors the highland clearances when the tenant farmers of scotlands highlands were forcibly evicted and forced to the lowlands and industrial cities by the landlords, often violently. This devastated alot of Gaelic language and culture. Even to this day the population of the highlands hasnt recovered.

  ANDOR is like the 'finally some good f-ing food' meme given a budget.

  One thing I like also is how the stormtroopers are not the main ennemy. They fight naval troopers, enforcers, but the only time you see the stormtroopers is when things get out of control and they are unleashed on the townspeople. They absolutely massacre them and you can feel the fear and terror they bring. Instead of being treated as a joking rank and file bad guy, they are portrayed as the crushing fist of the Empire.

  It kind of feels like Andor was the first piece of Star Wars media made for adults.

  Andor is the first Star Wars story that feels genuinely interested in ideology, not as a background or dramatic plot- but as the point

  All I want for Christmas is Nemek's complete manifesto, in a fine leather-bound, pocket-sized journal. Nemek was the one for me, in a cast of absolutely brilliant characters.

  "The exhaustive period is over" Oof. Now we're in the "It's even more exhaustive, because Andor showed us what we could have instead" era

  Andor being made in the Disney+ Machine is like if Chernobyl were somehow made by the CW. A genuine masterpiece of television, everything that could've gone right, went right.

  Considering how explicit Andor was in it's messaging, I'm frankly surprised that it was even allowed to be made.

  I think it's significant that Skeen is shown as being very invested in Nemik's wellbeing. When Nemik is gone, Skeen gives into his darkest voices, which becomes a prescient warning to Andor that great personal loss is no excuse to collapse into narrow self-interest

  Another interesting thing about Andor&apos;s fanservice - there&apos;s much, <i>much</i> more than just the blue milk in there. There&apos;s the fact that it canonizes KOTOR by mentioning the Rakata, there&apos;s Andor&apos;s Bryar Pistol, Saw Gerrera, Mon Mothma - but you don&apos;t need to know <i>anything</i> about any of that beforehand to get maximum enjoyment out of the story. All that stuff I just mentioned has plenty of its own relevance, so it feels natural. Like the Rakata. It&apos;s cool if you know it, but you really don&apos;t &nbsp;<i>need</i> to know the crystal&apos;s intricate backstory. Cause the crystal has a lot of relevance to Luthen&apos;s wealth, how it signifies Cassian as an outsider and mercenary, how it spurs on the rift between him and Skeen...<br><br>It&apos;s how I think fanservice and referencing the Expanded Universe of a work should be. It&apos;s not a main course, it&apos;s more of a condiment that can enhance the meal as needed.
