Like its pretty obvious that something happened there that we didnt get shown. Otherwise the Jedi wouldnt feel so guilty. They are obv hiding something and covering it up by saying her sister started a fire that killed everyone. If they all actualyl died to nothing ok this is the worst show ever. But I'm pretty confident somethign went down which killed everyone, that we will find out more of as it goes on.

@@daniquemaxwell5070 Andor bored me to death with the non-sensical yapping scene of the antagonist and his mom in their house booth for 30 mins straight. And it wasn't even intellectual, like come on. Don't expect me to be interested when you waste 30 mins with proper non-sense. Mandalorian on the other hand is perfect. Each episode is more or less self-contained. Mando and Grogoo go on a journey meeting new people and old friends and solve their qualms. It's such a refreshing story telling paradigm.

Star Wars is patriarchal? As soon as Han, Chewie and Luke break Leia out of her cell - she proceeds to take over her own rescue mission and tells them what to do.

Yes, she's terrible in the first film. Rude, arrogant, spoilt, bossy, ungrateful, petulant and ultimately needs to be saved by men after berating then offers no solutions. She is what Disney have based their strang wahmen on.

Andor is the only Disney SW worth a damn. This clearly illustrates why.

And the coolest part is that Andor showed her BECOMING a powerful woman. She didn't start off perfect, strongest, brave beyond all reasonable belief, etc. She also showed that emotional strength is a thing, too, and it doesn't mean shrugging off adversity but rather having the will to push through it, overcome it, and live with the consequences.

The witch actress is the type of person to say “Rey was the first powerful female lead character in Star Wars” and ignore at least three others from the past two trilogies.

If you feel the need to keep telling people that your character is "a powerful woman leader" over and over, then they are neither powerful or a leader. Also, didn't get character die from some fire bullshit that somehow got started in a brick fortress? Wow... So powerful...

Well, name three female characters in the original trilogy that have a talking role... And even in the prequel trilogy, there were no female masters on the jedi council, although you saw quite a bunch of female masters in battle. The accusations of being patriarchal is not completely out of thin air. But I guess they are vastly outdated, especially since Padme or Ashoka Tano.

That Acolyte actor is just straight up _vapid._ "I'm like-uh leedur, like really."

Difference between being Humble and feeling Entitled. This is why I believe that moral judgment is so damn important. Especially in times like now.

The fact that Andor was even made in the Disney era is a small miracle. It is so far beyond all other Star Wars media, maybe even the original trilogy, yes I said it. It’s hard to believe the same people who greenlit the acolyte also had a hand in that show.

“my character has depth” vs “my character is strong, which was controversial 50 years ago”

Now I want a scene skin to Dathomir where General Grievous just swoops in and mobs the floor with these hippie witches.

This is a kind representation. You even cut the: "Yes, Yes, Yeeesss 🙂"

Basically intelligent actress vs woke actress.

“We’re gonna leave that one right there.” Ouch.

Ones an actress, one got picked by a DEI board to star in a show. Can clearly tell from this video which is which.

Keep saying she's a leader maybe it will come true. Put it on a motivational poster maybe that would help 🤣

One's talking about the details of the character with knowledge and passion, the other is trying to eliminate the patriarchy using the Star wars show as an advert of a non-patriarchal society

A simple example of the intellectual capacities between an actress selected for the quality of her work and another being there only because of her identity compatible with an ideology. Merit vs representation

disney and powerful women.... they dont even know what that means. intelligent women will never speak about themselves or their characters as "powerful women" they let their actions be proof of that.

This is what happens when you don't read books: you can't find proper words to describe what you think 😂

"Love her as much as i do" SHES BARELY A GODAMN CHARACTER!

Was disappointed with this clip. You didn't showcase Turner-Smith's true depth of intellect. She is known for profound insights into her character portrayals. Her deep understanding of Star Wars lore was best expressed when she said: "Yass! Yass!"
