Star Wars is such a lovely monster of a world. Few fantasy shows would get away with slapping a few extra horns on a sheep and call it an alien beast but it just loving works.

I don't think anyone is going to betray the plan. It seems to me like they're relying on everyone doing what Lt. Gorn orders for their knowledge of the Imperials' movements - and if this meteor shower is anything like our light shows, someone's going to get bored and go back inside where they shouldn't be Also, for preview and crass idpol reasons: the black guys won't be the traitor, the gay ladies won't be the traitor, Cassian can't be the traitor, the grouch was too detailed for me to think it's him, and the leftist would be the traitor if the show had Disney fingerprints all over it but we know he makes it out with Cassian Mameluke fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Oct 7, 2022 |

There won't be a betrayal. The whole point of the ISB stuff that only that blond lady is taking the nascent insurgency seriously so far. This is a story of a heist in the days before the Imps realised they even had a rebellion to try and infiltrate. But it's also the story of a heist by an unprepared and unsupported group of proto-rebels. The drama comes in the "can they do it?" not "who will gently caress them over?" side of things.

/\/\ Woah jinx I don't think we're yet at the moment where ISB types would be infiltrating the rebellion, so I think everyones a die hard and the real trouble is gonna come from mission complications, not a traitor.

I'm not sure if I missed something but the way Not Jude Law was acting around his mom I got the impression that she's delusional and Uncle Harlo doesn't exist.

Darth Brooks posted:The empire must have amazing internet though. When the Falcon shows up at the Death Star having traveled thru hyperspace for a considerable amount of time it's immediately identified as "a freighter that blasted out of Tatoonie". To be fair, that was a special circumstance. Vader had just hunted a rebel ship to Tatooine and lost the Death Star plans there, so anything unusual on the planet probably had super high priority. Compared with any time the rebels stole a shuttle and flew around in it for ages.

I dont understand where the story with the space cop and his mom is going, but the rest of that episode was great. This show is a slow burn which is new for Star Wars. But each episode keeps you engaged, and that is really important.

The way I'm picturing it is basically space cop blames Cassian for the loss of his career so he's going after him himself for career redemption, because he's incredibly pathetic. Take the L, bud.

But each episode keeps you engaged, and that is really important. If he ends up becoming a major antagonist, this episode is setting up why he's so driven in pursuit of Andor, along with why he's got a weird cop brain in the first place. I really enjoyed the slow pace of the episode; it feels like I really care how the heist is going to go off, and all it took was giving us some time to dwell on all the major participants. It's great to have star wars media that has the restraint to not just rush headfirst into the action scenes.

I remain in awe of how badly Diet Fash hosed himself. He personally destroyed an entire interstellar corporation; who in god's name would want him as an employee? Uncle Harlo is likely a smuggler looking to use Syril's corpo security knowledge to evade blockades. Harlo might even work for Saw. I think we'll see Syril run into Cassian as a fellow criminal, then try to rat him out to the Imperials.

Er yeah I was taking it to mean like a list of everyone in the sector who is on Imperial books, so all their spies and contacts on top of the regular grunts and command etc but your interpretation along with the visuals makes more sense

Yeah that was my assumption too until hearing the More Civilized gang talk about it. I guess there needs to be a form of cash money profit in it or the rebellion won't be able to sustain itself much longer.

The other part of the Rebellion that we've seen, Mon Mothma and Luthen, are trying really hard to finance the Rebellion without people getting caught and shot out behind the chemical shed. drat right it's cash money they heist team is after, Luthen is covering his bases. At some point we'll find out how that money is being spent; Hera and Ahsoka are both characters who could turn up in S2.

i say swears online posted:"no sign of forced entry or exit, no sign of robbery. just an old woman stuffed with galaxy puffs. in my 27 years, jenkins, i've never seen anything like it" The Chief Inspector actually landed on his feet and is now the Deputy Ops of "No. It wasn't a murder, it was a suicide. If it was a murder, it means somebody was killed and the security personal weren't there to stop it. The Security Personal we don't have to man the security booths we're not operating despite being budgeted for. And if we're not using them, they'll cut our budget. And if they cut our budget, it means we have less security. Do we understand, Lieutenant?"

I kinda suspect our useless space fash is on some kind of long redemption arc where he'll first end up unwittingly aiding the Rebellion before sacrificing himself for it sometime down the line.

my guess is that his uncle gets him like a data entry job at the isb, where he ends up overhearing meero talk about the box theft. definitely some kind of redemption arc long term tho.

A unit goes after spice and death stick dealers, follow the credits all the way to the Senate then they all get killed horribly for embarrassing Xizor and Mas Amedda or something.

I'm kind of hoping for there not to be a redemption arc for Karn, or at least not one we as viewers are sympathetic to, so we can have a moment where he finally confronts Cassian and berates him for ruining his life and Cassian doesn't even remember him because he saw his face for less than a minute once.

I'm presuming the reason he's on Coruscant is so that ISB lady can find him without the story looking too silly and offer him a job.
