A spoiler for me, since I only just got St saw episode 6, but I kinda thought things were going in that direction.

Agreed
Too timely for comfort

Executed so effectively, I was crying by the end.

And we see what “battle droid” actually means. None of that “roger-roger” crap—they’re terror weapons. (That droid could have stepped on [ redacted ]’s neck. Instead it threw them fifty feet in the air so everyone could see what was happening.)

Excited to see it!

rosedees.bsky.social•16 days ago

cmon mate some us are waiting for the whole season to be out to watch

catgirlfingies.quest•16 days ago

Best thing i do is mute a show or movies name so the posts don't show up!
Works for me

I tend to mute starwars based accounts i follow when shows are comin out. I just didnt think to mute Andor specefically.

I keep seeing people comparing it to different massacres throughout history and, yes, that's the point. This keeps happening again and again.

Gilroy apparently took a lot of inspiration from Mike Duncan's podcast in planning this.

Having listened to @empirepoduk.bsky.social and heard about so many British Imperial massacres, the playbook was spot on. Resonance from India and Northern Ireland.
@anitaanand.bsky.social could you do an episode or two on Andor and parallels?

the kettle

the child soldiers as sacrificial lambs

absolutely vile

Interesting perspective! Thanks for sharing.

Hey spoilers
But 4 eps in it's incredible. Wonderful tv.

shoutingboy.bsky.social•16 days ago

We’ve known about the Ghorman Massacre since season 2 of STAR WARS: REBELS!

…you did watch REBELS, right?

lhjh.bsky.social•16 days ago

Andrew, I did not.

shoutingboy.bsky.social•16 days ago

Okay maybe it’s a spoiler but Mon Mothma turns out to be a stone FREAK, like she totally wears out Zeb and Chopper

lhjh.bsky.social•16 days ago

I could see things turning out badly for the Ghormans as soon as we saw those cute spiders

itisdave.bsky.social•15 days ago

Truly regretted not having tissues handy for this one. I was a mess by the time the credits rolled

disgustedandsick67.bsky.social•15 days ago

Well, that's spoilered for me now...

serenitybecca11.bsky.social•16 days ago

I’m struggling to get through an episode without crying. It’s beautifully horrifying

mcavalletto.bsky.social•16 days ago

Yeah, just watched this evening and it was grueling to watch as the prices were set in motion and the whole disaster inevitably unfolded… a mass-casualty, history-altering slow-motion train wreck.

The empire was deliberate and patient, taking a year manipulating things just the right way. What was really chilling was the state media gaslighting what was about to happen.
