Remember this from the trailers?

That is Luthen’s gallery.

:lupe:
Makes sense they wrap that story as part of the last arc. Kleya probably the one getting pointed at :sadcam:

I dont think so.

In a trailer, Kleya was crying and was about to press a button to some device in her hand.

:wow:

I have a feeling where this is going.

the ISB's priority will be to find out how they knew what was up in Ep 9.

that is going to lead to lonni then luthen. lonni never had the minerals and they will threaten his family.

I've also read/heard that Filoni dislikes it, in a "this is not Star Wars" type of way. And that's always puzzled me because this shyt is as Star Wars as it gets, imo.

I'd hope this would push people at Lucas Film to try to do better in terms of writing. Filoni does get shyt right and can write compelling shyt as well but he's still very much in a "cartoon in live action feel" mode most of the time and that has a ceiling that a show like Andor shatters with its writing and direction.

And then you look at shyt like The Acolyte or Book of Bobba, which are a fukking mess in terms of story and writing and wonder what the fukk is wrong with people at Lucas Film.
Imo people forgot how Star Wars originated. The force and lightsabers didn't define Star Wars and for many people, if it doesn't have that, it is bizarre. Even if the story and writing are ass like Acolyte.

Agreed, that movie was a disgrace :scusthov:

I've always understood why people hate The Last Jedi but I appreciate the swings the movie went for when it came to lore and the Force, which was something TFA and ROS lacked (some idea of a vision).

The only good thing about Rise of Skywalker was Babu Frik being high a kite telling the gang to let him work and solve shyt :dead:
Honestly, if The Last Jedi wasn't a Star Wars film and was of another IP, it wouldn't be as hated. Not saying it would be a good film tho.

fukk anyone at LucasFilms who green lit a sequel trilogy without a clear path to episode 9 and then brought in J.J. to do basically 'A New Hope' remake with little substance and then brought in Rian Johnson to take the shyt all the way to left field and then brought J.J BACK to throw together the worst pile of yada yada bullshyt in the history of filmmaking....

They don't know anything.
Honestly, I would argue the sequel trilogy undermines the impact of the original trilogy. Since now, we got the rebellion vs empire back, but in a different way. I know people will argue that history ends up repeating itself. At least let enough time pass to where Luke, Han and Leia are gone and not part of the current events. That would make the history repeats itself hold more weight.

So much of Star Wars now is content for the sake of content. Shows like Andor which have a purpose, are more so the exception sadly.

This shyt is so good, I can't believe we accepted the absolute bullshyt they fed us with the book of Boba Fett and even most of Ashoka, Mandalorian and obi wan

I really need the behind the scenes story as to how Gilroy was able to cook and be left basically alone, with some budget issues being his only real constrains (from his own words).

I get he's close to Kathleen Kennedy but there's gotta be something else. Him being able to create this masterpiece in Disney's Star Wars is :mindblown: in the context of every other live action media content we've been given. Filoni's got his own corner but that's clearly the more "family friendly" content and more cartoon-esque.


Ep 9. is not far behind, I'm legit in awe at what Gilroy wrote.

A legit podcaster said she has sources(she gets the directors/actors/writers of shows on her pod) said that other than Kathleen Kennedy the rest of the ppl at LucasFilms hate andor and hate the fact that it's touted as the best written star wars stuff. She said Gilroy only got the chance to make this show because Kathleen loves him. She said Dave Filoni dont like anyone straying far from the regular Star Wars shyt lol.


I remember watching "making of" videos for The Mandalorian and thinking "WOW...this is the future of Sci-Fi movies!" when they described how all the technology of "The Volume" works.

Now, after watching Andor, I have flipped a little into thinking that may be "The Volume" is one of the things holding the Disney Star Wats shows back. Andor is filmed mostly in REAL physical places, and it really benefits from it.

Lonni would be insane to stay on Coruscant. After giving Luthen the info about his agent infiltrating Organa's extraction team he should've been on a ship out of the planet.

If Luthen didn't give him a way out that's beyond fukked up. Lonni did his job:damn:

Yep, seems a lot of the ISB stuff is filmed in the McClaren building

That shyt is holding back marvel and star wars content. Look at Captain America Brave New World...it looks so phony, no locations feel real, some CGI backgrounds look abhorrent.

Filming as much as possible IN camera, and on location is the way. There is a reason shyt from the 70s like 2001 a space odyssey, and early 80s like Return of The Jedi look incredible still. Blade Runner looks insane.

It’s so obvious how much better the scenery looks. The locations are real and they just CGI the Star Wars stuff into the background. It looks amazing.

The other Star Wars and Marvel stuff that uses that green screen rooms looks incredibly shallow and fake.

If anyone over at Disney or Lucas Film was competent they would put this Gilroy cat in charge. EVERYTHING about his shows shyts on not only the other shows but the new movies as well.

Gilroy actually presents this world as a place where real people live. Not just a backdrop for laser sword fights and bombastic set pieces.

He's always made it known, Luthen should have an escape plan for Lonni + family. I'm not saying he did leave btw, just that it would be really fukked up if dude was left hang out to dry like that.

luthen is operating based on necessity not compassion.

if anything luthen would extract just lonni. or kill him if he knew he was going to be arrested.

maybe he will try and fail. presumably security recordings will show that mon's assistant knew more than he should have and will show him interacting with andor.

the presence of andor suggests axis to dedra. suggesting to her that lonni might be compromised.

dedra being dedra is probably going to go through the history of compromised operations and lonni's name is going to fall out of that.

dedra was officially taken off axis so i guess driven by anger at syril's demise she breaks ISB protocol and does her investigation without permission.

lonni is chums with the new ISB axis investigation head so thinks he has that base covered. unfortunately he does not know that dedra is on his tail.

that would explain why dedra is the one pulling the gun in the gallery rather than ISB troops. she is lone wolfing it.

my personal hope is that luthen draws a light sabre in defence but i know that is unlikely.

on reflection i think that rather than torturing or blackmailing lonni, dedra has him followed and from there discovers luthen. we've already done torture in the show. we haven't seen clandestine meetings being compromised yet. this will be the first time in the show.
