The one and only issue I can complain about with this show is the ship saber thing that Luthen did with the TIEs to escape. It just seemed too gimmicky to me. Too much like they were trying to evoke lightsabers in some way. Would have preferred if the just popped out a couple cannons or missile launchers that would lock on and take out the TIEs.

The best episode of Bobba was when it was all Mando. The Mandallrian was decent, but not good or great, and had a lot of cheese. This has been a great drama/action series. |

Awesome finale.
Maarva's speech at the end was a great touch. Not only did it inspire Ferrix to rebel, it explains Cassian's deep motivation to the cause that we see in R1. His own mistreatment at the hands of the Empire wasn't enough. The speech was the inspiration, then when the Empire went full iron fist to shut it down, he saw it was necessary and made him a true believer, hence the ending scene. He felt he had nothing left to live for, but Luthen was offering a reason. |

By all accounts, it's a complete failure. I can't imagine that Dedra's rivals (especially Supervisor Blevin) won't use it as an opportunity to undermine her. This could lend validation in the scene in SW: Rebels where the imperial agent tells Tarkin that Governor Pryce is overreacting and there is no evidence of a greater organized rebellion.

Great show.
I didn’t like Obi Wan and BoBF. Was kind of “meh” after those two series. Rogue One is great, but after those last two series I had low expectations for Andor. It really surprised me. Click To View Spoiler As far as Mon setting her daughter up… just shows the kind of sacrifices needed to make the rebellion successful, like Luthen’s monologue earlier in the series. TBH, if the empire had found out about Mon’s support of the rebellion her daughter wouldn’t have had any kind of life anyway, same if the rebellion doesn’t succeed.
