drat. That's the best kind of guy to have in charge. He cares most about telling a good story and writing a good scene, but event though he's reputedly not a fan (and I think there's an argument to be made being too much "a fan" in charge can be an impediment that makes your work too self-referential-- basically "authorized fanfiction") he knows the setting bible front to back and won't be caught lacking.

One observation about Andor: even though the PACING is slow-boil deliberate, the storytelling is still very economical. I imagined a number of scenes as fallout from the Ferrix Raid. Karn's boss coming back and doing a spit take, then grilled by the Empire. Karn dressed down by his boss, possibly losing his job or at least severely demoted. The Empire pulling some or all of Pre-Mor's power in the sector. They moved things along instead with a single (very effective) scene of the ISB guy dressing down all three of the main corpos at once with a small exposition update on the status of things while the set was cleared out by imps, and one almost dialogue-free long walk home for Karn. The scope has zoomed out a bit and these characters still get some consideration, but it trusts the audience not to need multiple scenes to move things along from the inevitable consequences it already set up.

Ash1138 posted:i had to google that to make sure it was in fact that thing i remember reading in the star wars encyclopedia or essential guide to characters or whatever thirty loving years ago [edit] or maybe it was the WEG sourcebooks, i had a couple of those too The Ghorman Massacre was in 18 BBY in the original Legends canon, so this means Tony Gilroy has done his work on the Disney setting bible to make the show. As season 2 is supposed to cover the events up until Rogue One, I wouldn't be surprised if this means the Ghorman Massacre ends up a major part of the ending of the show.

IIRC it was brought up in Rebels as being around the 2 BBY timeline. It was the thing that led to Mothma leaving the Imperial Senate and officially announcing the Alliance to Restore the Republic to the Galaxy.

Probably should have asked this before I let 7 pages go by but is the 4th ep good on its own? I liked having the first 3 eps altogether to watch at once and there were some of us wondering whether successive episodes would be worthwhile to watch or if it'd be better to wait until the next batch of 3 were all out.

Essentially until like 2-3 years or so BBY the rebel alliance was all individual small cells doing jobs. They didn't start to be able to mobilize large fleets until after they went public.

It's a big galaxy and the Imperial Fleet can't be everywhere. Logistics would be a problem, but not an insurmountable one. It would be a pain, but you could do the logistical equivalent of "dead drops:" A couple nav buoys far outside major shipping lanes. You have cutout middle men take the coaxium/weapons, even personnel in containers, leave them there for the next pickup, if they do get nabbed by imps and interrogated, they don't know the final destination. The poor fuckers actually staffing Yavin or Hoth are just stuck there for the duration.

The Star Wars galaxy has millions of planets that can be landed on and used to hide in. The empire had to send out hundreds of probes across the galaxy to find the rebel base on Hoth, and they found it out of pure dumb luck and were ready to ignore it if it wasn't for Vader insisting they were there.

So Mon Mothma mentioned that there is someone she wants to bring into the resistance. Clearly there is only one acceptable option for who it is. Get me live-action Starkiller, stat!

I kinda already don't like Mon Mothma being in this to begin with too because she is such a well known and established character. There is nothing wrong with the character in this show though thankfully. She won't be doing two back to back child Leia chase scenes *monkey paw finger curls*

Bel Iblis would be interesting since the old EU had him and Mon Mothma at odds on how to handle things, with Bail Organa serving as the balancing point between the two.

The blonde ISB agent says that she thinks she’s finding a pattern of organized rebellion through the thefts of important devices, so it seems clear that as late as 5 BBY the cells still hadn’t unified enough or done big enough operations to convince the Empire of their threat. Since Gilroy could refer to the Ghorman Massacre offhand so fast, I’m guessing we’re going to see it.
