To be fair, those kids books were pretty much entirely ignored outside of their own series. They might as well be the version of Wayne's World where Cassandra dumps Wayne and then his house burns down.

It's why its great, the kids books were high octane comedy with weird poo poo involved that just kind of exist for the reference book/wiki nerds to pull their hair out trying to piece together.

That is actually a droid Leia who agreed to marry Trioculus in order to use her laser eyes to assassinate the holder of the Glove of Darth Vader, Slavelord of Kessel, and Galactic Emperor.

They might as well be the version of Wayne's World where Cassandra dumps Wayne and then his house burns down. If my memory is correct, in the old EU, I think they were retconned at some point as being some bed time stories they told Jacen and Jaina when they were kids, and not actually true stories. Though, they're still crazy even for that. Pretty sure if I was making up a cool bedtime story for my daughter, I wouldn't make up a time I was almost forced into a marriage, but sent a robot double in my place who shot lasers out of it's eyes to kill the groom. Actually, scratch that, yes I would. But would I also include the father of one of the former enemies, Jabba, coming back for revenge? Only his name is Zorba the Hutt, and he has dreads? Yes, I may do that as well.

Neo Rasa posted:Something important to know about Star Wars is that at the end of the day EVERYONE thinks they're the rebels. Like I have the misfortune to know more than one person that's a mega conservative Trump lover "we need law and order I hate how immigrants and 'those people' make everything more expensive for us ugh I can't believe a gay person was in a movie why do they have to put politics in everything" level people that think Andor is one of the best TV shows ever made. Andor is a great show, but it's so far about how Saw Gerrera is right: Luthen is forming alliances with liberals, libertarians, neo-feudalists, etc. And the show is being made in a context where those guys are the ones who are thoroughly celebrated (and seemingly 'win') at the end of the Disney Sequel Trilogy. Like, in the show itself, the segment of the kid's podcast that we hear is curiously nonspecific. The message is inspirational, but it's just saying "freedom is natural, and tyranny is unnatural." Considering that he's writing a manifesto and that he's focused on technology-as-thought-control, I couldn't help but think of Ted Kaczynski. That's not to say that the character is that character, of course, but that there's little preventing appropriation of his rhetoric by the right wing. If you want to prevent EVERYONE from thinking that they're a rebel, you need language that makes a cut, draws a line. Maarva's speech is a little better in this regard. While she's mainly talking about a nebulous "darkness", there are interesting details: Ferrix was relatively well-off due to its economic arrangements with the Empire. "We kept the trade lanes open, and they left us alone. We took their money and ignored them, we kept their engines churning...". So, when Maarva says "I want Ferrix to continue", she's referring to the loss of that economic independence - perhaps moreso than the conversion of the local hotel into a torture-prison. Of course, Maarva is obviously against torture, just as the kid is against various imperial atrocities. The point is that their speeches are context sensitive, using vague language that it's presumed that the audience (diegetic and extradiegetic) automatically understands. In this way, the specific badness of the Empire is often taken for granted in Andor - just as it is in the first three Star Wars films. In a comparable runtime, the Star Wars prequels go into more extensive detail about the failings of the Republic, before finally expressing that the Empire is even worse. Droid slavery is the economic foundation of the Republic, and colonized peoples like the Gungans are arguably treated worse than the Aldani. Consequently, characters like Jar Jar and C-3PO are casually mistreated or outright despised by the 'good guy' characters. In this context, the general lack of droid and non-human representation in Andor could be said to reflect the ideological limitations of these characters. Saw's the only guy with a Chewbacca-equivalent dude on the squad, and he's also the only one with a clearly-defined ideology. He is not a liberal, not a libertarian, not a neo-feudalist.

Having her killed by the Empire could be a catalyst for the clone rebellion. Papa Palps can easily spin it as the clones were unstable and had to be put down. The clones know it was the empire because there was no subtly to it.

"Right" in what sense? He's the most ideologically consistent, and certainly would do the most to purge a lot of the rot that existed in the Late Republic (and probably a good deal beyond that, just to be sure). But I'm not sure he's "right" about how to go about toppling the Empire. His methods explicitly alienate a lot of the interest groups a popular anti-imperial rebel alliance needs to challenge the Empire on a democratic basis. A theme that gets pushed in a lot of the newer EU stuff is "yeah, the Republic sucked across a number of dimensions, but the Empire is way worse." If there's constant infighting and purity spirals among the rebels, the real winner is the Empire, and the current (worse) status quo remains, or the Empire continues to tighten its grip on the galaxy. To the extent that alot of the Empire's current weaknesses (unfamiliarity with local customs, uneven control of outlying sectors, divided government with Old Republic elites fighting Imperial consolidation) will lessen with time, being able to amass a powerful anti-Imperial coalition sooner rather than later seems imperative. Saw's desire to run a more cohesive insurgency seems like a setup to be a constant thorn in the Empire's side, rather than a force that could overthrow it altogether.
