PRISON LABOR!? STAR WARS: ANDOR 1x7, 1x8, 1x9 *FIRST TIME WATCHING* (REACTION)┃Ashe Reacts

Added: 2026-05-10

[00:00:00]Welcome or welcome back. My name is Ash and this is Ash Reacts. Today we are watching some more Andor. I'm going to hunker down and watch seven, eight, and nine of season 1. The last three episodes were amazing. I didn't think it could get better from the first three episodes, but it does. And according to my comments, it's just going to keep getting better. I don't know how it can do that, but I'm going to find out, I guess. How are we going to deal with the fallout of the insurgents? We did. We lost a lot of bodies. We had some betrayal. What's going to happen next? I don't know. Let's find out. Once again, I'm having a hot flash. So, I open the window. Sorry if you hear the birds. I don't know what to do about it.

[00:00:45]I like the sound. Also, shout out to the person who clocked me as a Hassanabi head in the comments. That cracked me up.

[00:00:55]He's going to end up killing his mom.

[00:00:57]I'm not for violence against women or most people, but his mom might be an exception.

[00:01:04]>> What makes you believe the Bureau of Standards is in the market for individuals?

[00:01:08]>> It's a brown suit.

[00:01:10]>> It's brown. I'm color blind. I thought that [ __ ] was orange.

[00:01:14]>> The collar?

[00:01:15]>> What about it?

[00:01:16]>> It's high.

[00:01:17]>> I had it tailored.

[00:01:19]>> Everything says something. Sirill.

[00:01:21]>> What is it that you hear my collar saying?

[00:01:22]>> That's what I want to know.

[00:01:24]>> Look at me. I don't believe in myself. I am desperate for approval.

[00:01:30]>> Or or it says he has the money for tailoring cuz normal people in in this galaxy, we don't be tailoring our clothes because it's expensive.

[00:01:43]>> Oh [ __ ] >> What happened?

[00:01:50]>> He's getting intuition. Criminals responsible for last night's atrocity on Aldani think they've taken the empire by surprise. We know the real shock will be when they discover how ready and eager we are to respond.

[00:02:04]>> Cope.

[00:02:05]>> The only question we need to answer is how tight to close our fist.

[00:02:11]>> The thing about this is you have to be so strategic. Yes, you want to respond and close your fist as they say.

[00:02:19]However, you have to be careful because when people see this [ __ ] on the news, one, they say it's possible. Two, if you respond on the normal everyday people who did not do anything, you're going to be upsetting them, and then they're going to want to fight back even more.

[00:02:37]>> The following measures will be adopted empirewide tribute tax equal to five times the amount stolen from Al. They're going to punish the people who had nothing to do with this.

[00:02:48]>> The use of any local custom, festival, or tradition as cover >> Mhm.

[00:02:54]>> for rebel activity.

[00:02:55]>> So, this guy is even ahead of Mr. Kyburn from Game of Thrones.

[00:03:00]>> I spoke with Emperor Palpatine last night.

[00:03:03]>> Boo.

[00:03:04]>> The Emperor will be convening an emergency session of the Senate to propose a legislation package of bills and amendments.

[00:03:11]>> They're responding with more authoritarianism.

[00:03:14]We're playing straight into their hands.

[00:03:16]>> She's thinking what I'm thinking. She sees the bigger picture and nobody's listening to her.

[00:03:21]>> I should have called. We're on our way to the Senate. I realized we'd be passing by. Per likes it. I'm just not sure he loves it.

[00:03:30]>> Was this you and worried you might do something like this?

[00:03:33]>> Oh, I thought she knew.

[00:03:35]>> You realize what you've done. You told me we were building a network.

[00:03:39]>> Turning back will be impossible. Has anyone ever made a weapon that wasn't used? The network's been built. It's up.

[00:03:48]>> Now we're using it. You can't just sit still. Palpatine won't hesitate now.

[00:03:52]>> Exactly. We need them to overreact. The Empire has been choking us so slowly, we're starting not to notice.

[00:03:59]>> Yes, I was going to say this. The thing with empires, look at the American Empire. They've kind of boiled our public like a frog on a pot. slow boiling so it doesn't realize what's happening and that's why you don't see big movements that are long and held out and sustaining here anymore. We've built a public that is very very docile and used to this [ __ ] happening. People will suffer. It's true. They're already suffering though.

[00:04:29]>> There are no small jobs at the Bureau of Standards. Some sectors might naturally appear more exciting from the outside.

[00:04:37]Even this building looks boring as hell.

[00:04:42]I don't think he's built for bureaucracy.

[00:04:45]>> There's a rebel murderer running free because of corruption and laxity in the corporate authority. I was punished for trying to uphold the law. I fully intend to clear my name and have my record expuned.

[00:04:55]>> This is not stuff to bring up at your job interview.

[00:04:57]>> We just happen to have an immediate opening in fuel purity.

[00:05:02]>> Oh, so exciting.

[00:05:07]This girl's outfit's awesome.

[00:05:11]Oh, chalk. Hell yeah. Oh, the texture on her costume is great. I'd love to crochet something like this.

[00:05:19]>> I need a multis sector data blend going back 2 years. I want a record of all missing avionics, comm navigation, and targeting equipment.

[00:05:26]>> You're going to be here all night. I don't want the empire to thrive, but she deserves a promotion if we're looking at this objectively.

[00:05:36]Oh [ __ ] Oh, if something bad happens to Santa, I'm going to be distraught. That's my girlfriend.

[00:05:46]Who's this?

[00:05:48]>> Where is he?

[00:05:50]>> Oh [ __ ] >> He read your message.

[00:05:52]>> She cleans up. Great.

[00:05:53]>> We have a loose end. Cassian Andor, who you know is Clem.

[00:05:58]>> And I read all the comments hating on me for making fun of his name Clem. I apologize in advance.

[00:06:04]>> We can't have him walking around with Luin in his head.

[00:06:07]>> We can use him some more. All right, >> we'll send you what we have on him.

[00:06:14]>> Cinta just gives off the vibes that she's willing to die for this cause and like she has nothing to lose.

[00:06:23]He came back here. Oh, that's not good.

[00:06:27]>> You can't stay. It's not safe. Ferris is undermperial authority. Does that mean I get to see Bixs again?

[00:06:34]>> Daddy Chill.

[00:06:35]>> Someone turned me in.

[00:06:37]>> You don't know?

[00:06:38]>> Oh, he doesn't know.

[00:06:39]>> Who turned you in?

[00:06:40]>> RIP.

[00:06:40]>> The corpus killed him when they were coming after you.

[00:06:42]>> And some people were mad that I cheered on cop killing. Life is full of nuance.

[00:06:49]All right. And this is a TV show. And I just did not like Tim. I would not do that in real life.

[00:06:56]>> You can't be here, Cass. You got to dye your hair or something. Put a fake mustache on.

[00:07:02]>> We're getting out of here. We're leaving.

[00:07:04]>> When do we go?

[00:07:06]>> Rhino.

[00:07:07]>> It's all going to be different now. Mom.

[00:07:09]>> Just thought you to take in.

[00:07:11]>> I get so tired. You get a rest and we'll pull out first thing in the morning.

[00:07:16]>> Old people don't like when you mess with their routine.

[00:07:19]>> How long are you staying?

[00:07:20]>> I'm back to Shandrilla tomorrow. We're both a long way from where we started.

[00:07:25]>> Is it that bad?

[00:07:27]I just can't imagine living here for like this.

[00:07:30]>> Me neither.

[00:07:31]>> Corissant.

[00:07:32]>> I'm not a city girl.

[00:07:33]>> Can I trust you, Dave?

[00:07:35]>> She seems to like this guy a lot more than her husband.

[00:07:38]>> I want to tell you something that only three people in the galaxy know about.

[00:07:44]>> I'm afraid you'd find my politics a bit strong for your taste.

[00:07:47]>> Oh, he's a communist.

[00:07:48]>> Keep smiling as if we're having a happy chat about childhood days. The Monothma people think they know. It's a lie. It's a projection.

[00:07:59]>> I'm really bad at whispering. So having this conversation with so many people is making me really anxious.

[00:08:06]>> Because as long as everyone thinks I'm an irritation, there's a good chance they'll miss what I'm really doing. I need to access my family accounts. Forming a Chandelin charitable outreach program. I'll ask you to be chairman.

[00:08:18]>> Ooh, I haven't answered my question.

[00:08:21]>> And I went, "The less you know, the better." Or perhaps you find my politics a bit strong for your taste.

[00:08:29]>> I need them to [ __ ] And I rarely ship straight people. Be continued. So she kind of is purposely a senator who sucks and doesn't get much done.

[00:08:44]It's hard to do giant change in a system that cuts off your head if you do so.

[00:08:49]>> Hey, >> what are you doing here?

[00:08:51]>> Checking in. This is the last place you should be.

[00:08:54]>> Seriously, I did not expect him to come back here.

[00:08:57]>> Tim, >> I guess he thought you and I were back together.

[00:09:01]>> What happened to you?

[00:09:03]>> I ran into a wall like I do.

[00:09:05]>> I forgot they did that. You can't be here, Cass. Quit. Well, let's go inside.

[00:09:10]People blame you for what happened. You killed two corpos and came home to hide.

[00:09:15]>> If De had kept his mouth shut.

[00:09:17]>> If this, if that, you borrow, you lie, you disappear. Everyone here is scamming. I saw it. I didn't realize they used to be a thing.

[00:09:26]>> I need to know about the other guy. The buyer >> pack introduced us.

[00:09:30]>> He knew all about me. How?

[00:09:32]>> I I don't know.

[00:09:33]>> Well, he has a network.

[00:09:35]>> 12,000 credits. It's everything I owe.

[00:09:38]Son, nurse demon.

[00:09:40]>> Knowing they used to be a thing makes Tim's jealousy make a little more sense.

[00:09:52]Castle >> Clen, they won't be here long. They're just going to raise their silly flag and don't move.

[00:10:02]>> Hey guys, calm down. You're only making >> a Oh, no.

[00:10:09]Turn.

[00:10:11]>> As if a rock is as big a deal as a gun.

[00:10:23]I love how they led the footsteps into a flashback cuz that's like such a real PTSD thing.

[00:10:30]>> You haven't done much packing.

[00:10:32]>> I'm not going.

[00:10:34]>> It's going to break his heart.

[00:10:35]>> There's an Imperial barracks on Rick's road.

[00:10:38]>> Good luck to them. It's happening everywhere. It's overdue and probably doomed and I'm too old and I don't care anymore. For 13 years, every time I walk down Rick's road, I turn off before I get to the square so I don't have to think about them hanging there.

[00:10:55]>> And yesterday I heard about this attack at Alani.

[00:10:58]>> He inspired her and he she doesn't even know.

[00:11:00]>> You can't beat them, Marva.

[00:11:02]>> Not if I run away.

[00:11:05]>> This is going to be another stone that helps him join. I'll be worrying about you all the time.

[00:11:11]>> That's just love.

[00:11:14]>> Nothing you can do about that.

[00:11:15]>> No.

[00:11:16]>> Tell me you understand.

[00:11:18]>> I don't.

[00:11:20]>> You will. You'll see.

[00:11:21]>> Everyone in his life he has seen stand up for something for the most part has died. So I I get his reluctance.

[00:11:30]>> And just one more thing. Just stop searching for your sister. It's a fantasy. What happened there is not your responsibility. You were a child.

[00:11:38]>> It's true.

[00:11:39]>> I wish to lodge a charge against a fellow supervisor. I believe our sector protocols, as described in the ISB code of conduct, are being violated by Supervisor Mero.

[00:11:48]>> Suck me dick.

[00:11:49]>> I'd be curious how many people at this table will think it careful that you found a way to access our sector data without ever filing a request.

[00:11:57]>> I use the Imperial Emergency Act in the wake of Aldani to gather data across multiple sectors.

[00:12:01]>> The way they make this just like talking interesting, I love it. By accessing unfiltered sector crime reports, I can now prove a link between the theft of our most secret equipment and its distribution to rebel groups across the galaxy. I believe Supervisor Levven is aware I have a documented file ready to go. I believe his accusations here this morning have more to do with self-preservation than any sense of urgency.

[00:12:22]>> Call him out.

[00:12:23]>> I'm wondering where we'd be right now if everyone here showed the same endeavor as Supervisor Mirror. For the moment, I'm reassigning the Molana sector to Supervisor Mirror. Wow.

[00:12:34]>> Dedra, if you'd walk with me a moment, watch your back.

[00:12:39]>> These people are more interested in the corporate politics than the larger politics. So, retaliation is definitely possible.

[00:12:51]>> Cafir, >> I'll be out in a minute.

[00:12:54]>> I'm not going to make fun of the name cuz who knows where that one came from.

[00:12:58]>> I'm going to take a walk. Well, >> we need stuff.

[00:13:03]He has a great taste in women.

[00:13:07]This life is not going to be fulfilling for him.

[00:13:16]>> Like look how interested he is in what's going on.

[00:13:23]>> I loved that shot.

[00:13:25]>> What do you think you're doing?

[00:13:26]>> Excuse me.

[00:13:27]>> Are you a part of it? Stand right there.

[00:13:30]Wait, no.

[00:13:31]>> Oh [ __ ] I recognize that that that robot.

[00:13:34]>> I'm just going through the story. It's right there.

[00:13:36]>> Well, and this just like proves like you're going to find trouble anywhere in the galaxy when you're under tyranny like this.

[00:13:43]>> Hang on to this one for me. I want to check the shelter.

[00:13:48]>> No, no, no.

[00:13:52]>> What the [ __ ] But yeah, I think one of those robots is in Is it Rogue One?

[00:13:58]>> Next. He really was minding his business.

[00:14:03]>> Oh, I thought it said gringo.

[00:14:06]>> Charges.

[00:14:07]>> Civil disruption. Anti-imperial speech.

[00:14:10]>> I'm just a tourist.

[00:14:11]>> This used to be a six-month sentence.

[00:14:13]>> What is it now?

[00:14:15]>> Change of guidelines.

[00:14:16]>> Take him away.

[00:14:17]>> Oh, he really didn't do anything. And it's so funny cuz he literally just did like a robbery. A giant robbery. Damn.

[00:14:24]How is he going to get out of this? This is crazy. That episode was like a great bridge into our next little arc. That part of the end just really broke my heart because he truly did nothing wrong. But that happens to people in real life, everyday life all the time.

[00:14:40]People are thrown in for years for just being in the wrong place at the wrong time, looking suspicious because, well, it's hard to not act suspicious when you're being around freaking killing machines all the time. How heartbreaking it must have felt to go home and be rejected by the biggest mother figure you've ever had. Be told your sister's dead, for Bixs to deny him that camaraderie.

[00:15:07]It's heartbreaking and I can't imagine how down in the dumps Cassian must be feeling. I love getting more of Mon Mothma and her journey. She's definitely amping up to be a bigger influence, a bigger character. H I'm so excited to see what the next two episodes bring.

[00:15:26]Let's do this.

[00:15:32]Ooh, this one might be my favorite so far.

[00:15:37]>> Get in line.

[00:15:40]>> How will we get out of this?

[00:15:43]>> Pick it up.

[00:15:46]And all his shit's on the shower.

[00:15:50]>> They do not care.

[00:15:54]That was a nice transition.

[00:16:00]I have a feeling he's going to start going outside his job responsibilities soon.

[00:16:10]Oh, that guy works with that blonde girl.

[00:16:12]Shoes off, boots, SANDALS, EVERYTHING ON THE FLOOR.

[00:16:17]>> Why you getting new ones?

[00:16:20]>> Oh [ __ ] Magnets.

[00:16:24]He does love his little half turtlenecks.

[00:16:28]>> You keep submitting requests to the Bureau of Standards data center looking for Cassian Andor.

[00:16:33]>> You've been at the Bureau of Standards for less than a month and you filed five false inquiries.

[00:16:38]>> Six, actually.

[00:16:40]What are you doing, Mr. Khan?

[00:16:42]>> I told you he was going outside his responsibilities.

[00:16:45]>> So, this is about public safety.

[00:16:49]>> It's a little personal now. I think his mom is not going to be happy.

[00:16:56]This is where they sent Cassian. They're going to put him to work. Probably.

[00:17:00]We're going to have to watch him escape somehow.

[00:17:06]Looks like um those like deep sea mining rigs almost. I don't like the ocean, so this would suck.

[00:17:13]>> This is an Imperial Star Path unit. It was stolen from the Steg Guard Naval Yard last year. My full report highlights the prevalence of this problem galaxywide.

[00:17:22]>> I'm listening.

[00:17:24]>> Have you heard of active listening?

[00:17:26]>> The thief was a local named Cassian Andor. andor was in the act of transferring the unit to a person we've named Axis.

[00:17:35]>> It's a large investment.

[00:17:37]>> It's a fraction of the price of lost technology. Usually governments and corporations are more interested in the right now price and they don't look at long-term. An even better example would be infrastructure. We need to update the infrastructure in America really badly.

[00:17:54]We look at the upfront cost of doing that and we're like m maybe not.

[00:17:58]However, when you look at the disasters that happen when bridges collapse with people on them or homes and apartment buildings are updated to code and then a big storm comes in and wipes them out, then if you look at all of that cost over say a 10-year period, that's going to cost a lot more than simply updating infrastructure.

[00:18:23]Now, >> supervisor has convinced me that this axis has been nimble in spreading his activities across the galaxy.

[00:18:31]>> I'm glad he came to her aid there. It's hard because like look at this room.

[00:18:37]I see one woman. So, you want to root for a woman as a female presenting person. Like, however, then I I remember I'm like, "Oh, yeah. She's on the Empire side." But in these moments, the writing is so good and the acting is so good and the character development is so good that like I'm rooting for her. It's so interesting. But like if you're a woman, especially in a corporate field or a male-dominated field of any kind, you know exactly how she's feeling in this moment. like if that guy she took over for were to bring this information to all of these people, they're much more likely to listen to her and agree with her and implement the things that she's suggesting. When you are in one of those situations, as much as you wish you didn't need it, it is nice when like a male colleague or whatever comes to your aid.

[00:19:28]>> Tell the rest now.

[00:19:30]>> Oh, I thought they were going to give them work boots. They just want all the piggies out. Did Dan Schneider write this?

[00:19:40]>> This is an Imperial factory facility.

[00:19:43]You've all been assessed as labor worthy.

[00:19:46]>> Sometimes it pays to be a [ __ ] like me. They would not put me here.

[00:19:50]>> We'll explain the details of our schedule and expectations.

[00:19:54]>> I already don't like this guy.

[00:19:58]>> I was just going to say it's something to do with the no shoes thing, right? We got to get some of those boots. Let's talk about the accomplice you encountered before they escaped.

[00:20:07]>> I didn't get a good look.

[00:20:08]>> I heard his voice. I'd recognize it.

[00:20:10]>> You'll stop filing requests for Andor. I will inform the Bureau of Standards that you were of service to the Empire today.

[00:20:17]>> I didn't deserve what happened. It's clear you need Andor in order to find his partner.

[00:20:22]>> He says, "Get me out of this boring job." I don't think she has the authority to help him, to be honest.

[00:20:31][ __ ] I was walking >> on program. That means hands on head, eyes front, feet on the floor.

[00:20:38]>> He's already looking suspicious with his eyes everywhere. That's why he got arrested.

[00:20:45]>> On program.

[00:20:47]>> And now we're going to have prison politics. That's a whole another ball game.

[00:20:52]>> This is unit 52D.

[00:20:55]Seven levels of factory, seven rooms per level. Seven is God's number.

[00:20:59]>> My name is Kino Loy. I'm the 52D unit manager.

[00:21:02]>> This is Gollum, right?

[00:21:04]>> The 49 men in this room. Answer to me.

[00:21:06]>> You look like a prisoner, too.

[00:21:08]>> It's a 12-hour shift.

[00:21:10]>> 12.

[00:21:12]>> You have been assigned table five. You play against all the other tables in this room.

[00:21:18]>> They turned it into a game. This wouldn't work for me. I have issues with authority.

[00:21:23]>> I'm Gem Box. Welcome, >> Zo.

[00:21:28]>> More names.

[00:21:29]>> Thank you. Come on, boys. We can rally.

[00:21:32]>> Okay. Well, can someone tell us what we're doing?

[00:21:36]>> 52D shift productivity levels are unacceptable. As ever, the least productive table will be disciplined.

[00:21:43]>> I just clocked in. This would suck for me cuz I don't process information this quickly.

[00:21:52]I cannot imagine doing the same thing all day for 12 hours for 6 years. I was hoping you'd come.

[00:21:59]>> I wish I had better news. The new banking regulations are making life difficult.

[00:22:03]>> What about the money I've moved already?

[00:22:05]>> How much are we worrying about?

[00:22:07]>> 400,000.

[00:22:08]I wonder if she's like going to try to like launder this money through this charity.

[00:22:15]>> Damn, he looks rough.

[00:22:20]I would go insane with all this brightness all the time.

[00:22:26]Is he signing to someone in a different place?

[00:22:31]Okay. Okay. He's signing. We can use him.

[00:22:34]>> Palpatines's frustrating. Yes, we agree.

[00:22:37]>> What does he mean? What is public order?

[00:22:39]>> You're doing nothing wrong. What is there to fear?

[00:22:41]>> Well, I'm fearing your death.

[00:22:42]>> Well, look at Cassian. He did nothing wrong for the time he's spending right now.

[00:22:49]I love we're getting more of her. The political nerd in me is loving it.

[00:22:53]>> You see the white lights? White is cold.

[00:22:55]Red is hot. The white lights start flashing. You got 7 seconds to get to yourself.

[00:23:00]>> Okay, >> this is you.

[00:23:02]>> Water, night light, toilet flips down >> and food.

[00:23:07]>> The tube.

[00:23:08]>> Don't worry, you learn to eat it. Winner gets taste with their food.

[00:23:13]>> This is miserable.

[00:23:15]>> Return to yourselves immediately.

[00:23:19]Dude, you won a third time today. This is heartbreaking. You can already see his like brain working though on how to get out.

[00:23:27]>> The question was, how many hours a day do we stand here admiring the view?

[00:23:31]>> The ugly one.

[00:23:32]>> Not enough.

[00:23:33]>> I think I'd never leave. We came here as children to visit.

[00:23:37]>> No, Mon became a senator at 16.

[00:23:40]>> So, this is where you met?

[00:23:41]>> No, we'd already been married a year. It obviously didn't work out cuz they don't like each other. I waited till I was 32 to get married.

[00:23:54]30 shifts later. Oh, I'm glad I read that. He does look more familiar with everything. When do we shower?

[00:24:00]Oh, now. We're showering now.

[00:24:06]Okay.

[00:24:12]Help me. Yeah. Come on, man.

[00:24:14]You're just taking a breather.

[00:24:17]>> Mind your business. I know this is his business, but shut up.

[00:24:24]>> Is this um Ferris?

[00:24:28]Yeah, Braso. I'm getting the names finally, I think. Guys, >> I'm just trying to figure out if you need a doctor or not.

[00:24:34]>> The doctor was here yesterday.

[00:24:36]>> If she dies before Cassine gets to see her again, I'm going to freaking flip out. She fell.

[00:24:43]>> At that age, you got to be careful. Your bones get brittle and they break, and sometimes that causes the fall.

[00:24:50]>> She fell trying to pry open the old's floodgate.

[00:24:53]She's a rebel.

[00:24:55]>> Gazian, >> you really don't know where he is.

[00:24:58]>> You told him to leave.

[00:25:03]>> Oh, Val, >> where did you go?

[00:25:06]>> Where's the big one?

[00:25:07]>> Center.

[00:25:08]>> There's a room to rent around the corner. Can't just stay here. I can alone. It's not about us.

[00:25:15]>> Yeah, her head's more in the game.

[00:25:17]Empire killed her whole family like this. She takes this [ __ ] serious. Who would you say you are?

[00:25:22]>> Maybe I'm a rich girl running away from her family.

[00:25:26]>> Like you. My theory is still that um Luthan is her dad. The >> struggle will always come first. We take what's left.

[00:25:33]>> I was not expecting both my hotties to be on the same place.

[00:25:37]>> What's up? I need to look for something in the back.

[00:25:44]>> They're the ones who did like the banging in the third episode.

[00:25:51]It's crazy. She's calling Luan when his people are here.

[00:25:54]>> It's the shop owner on Ferris. She's trying to find Cassie Andor. His mother is ill for not answering.

[00:26:00]>> Yeah, >> we're shutting down Ferris. The code, the frequency, all of it. is andor knowing is out there knowing me >> right now. He's in a safe place.

[00:26:11]>> I just need you to wake up. There's a lot to do.

[00:26:14]>> There's a lot to lose.

[00:26:16]>> Shut it down.

[00:26:18]>> Yeah, that's smart.

[00:26:23]Did we win our shift?

[00:26:28]>> Crazy. All these people looking for Cassa and he's already in prison.

[00:26:37]suicide. Oh, >> Level five disruption.

[00:26:42]>> I didn't realize why that guy was standing there, but it makes sense. That life sucks.

[00:26:49]>> Why are we banging? Why are we banging?

[00:26:51]>> It's Packy Shyard. I'm not sure they're all over it.

[00:26:54]>> No [ __ ] We were Oh no. We were right to shut it down. They >> took Pack in last night. The hotel. He never came home. And she's going to blame herself.

[00:27:04]>> Vixen.

[00:27:06]>> Oh [ __ ] What? What do you need?

[00:27:07]>> That's your name, isn't it?

[00:27:08]>> Uh-huh. Get her.

[00:27:11]>> [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] Santa, we need you. I was hoping we would get more of Big Srazzos. I really didn't think we would.

[00:27:18]>> The garrison of old Donnie.

[00:27:21]>> Was that you?

[00:27:22]>> I was just about to ask you the same thing.

[00:27:24]>> He's in Rogue One.

[00:27:26]>> Why don't you try to fight him with people who agree with you?

[00:27:28]>> You come all this way to scold me. M >> well how about a full set of Imperial drive adapters? I also got three sealed steer guard targeting deflectors.

[00:27:38]>> At what cost?

[00:27:40]>> Anto Kger. I want you to meet him.

[00:27:44]>> The man is an ox and stupid.

[00:27:46]>> How strong?

[00:27:47]>> That's what oxen know for strength.

[00:27:50]>> Well, you meet with Kger. They're free.

[00:27:52]>> Ooh.

[00:27:53]>> I work alone.

[00:27:54]>> We need to pull together. Saw.

[00:27:56]>> We do.

[00:27:57]>> We need the Empire to help. We need them angry. We need them coming down hard.

[00:28:02]Oppression breeds rebellion.

[00:28:04]>> I talked about that last episode.

[00:28:06]>> Galaxy petitionist. They're lost.

[00:28:09]>> I talked about this a little bit in my last reaction. Coming together with people you disagree with to fight the bigger enemy is really hard to do. It's It's a lot easier sounding than actually putting it to practice.

[00:28:24]>> What are you? I've never really known.

[00:28:27]He might not know.

[00:28:29]>> I'm a coward. O >> I'm the one who says we'll die with nothing if we don't put aside our petty differences.

[00:28:36]>> Petty?

[00:28:37]>> They're not petty. That's very trivial.

[00:28:40]>> Well, anarchy is a seductive concept.

[00:28:43]>> Damn. These conversations are real. This is crazy. You can tell the writer really did his research and is very much in the depths of political philosophy.

[00:29:02]The older I get, the more I have the idea that being a communist means feeding all our neighbors, even the ones who suck. That's a simple way of putting it, but this is a reaction, not a seminar.

[00:29:18]>> Get him out of here quickly.

[00:29:21]>> You two with me.

[00:29:25]The more you hurt people like this who are central to communities, the more people get upset, too.

[00:29:31]>> Hello, Bicks.

[00:29:32]>> Hello, [ __ ] Cassian was kind of on the back burner for this episode. Not in a bad way, just so we could like kind of catch up with everyone else. That episode made me so anxious, especially for Bixs. I feel like she'll be okay in the long run, but I don't want to see her suffer. I don't like watching Marva get ill. I think so far what these last two episodes have really stood out to me in a way is just the writing. Not only can you tell that this is such a labor of love, very in-depth research, the writers know what they're talking about, they've looked at history, like you can really tell, but also how well they're writing the characters to the point where like when you're in their point of view, you like sympathize with them and you empathize with their journey. even if they're technically on the empire side, it really shows how individuals make up these systems. And I think that's so important to remember. I loved how Luan talking with I forget his name, the character from Rogue One, really highlighted some of the things I was talking about in my last reaction about infighting on the left and in resistance movements because that is such an important conversation to have that I'm not trying to say I have answers for, but I do think is important to ponder. H I'm loving this.

[00:30:56]Oo, I'm glad we're starting with this.

[00:30:58]>> So, here's what we'll do, Bix. I'll tell you everything I know to be true, and in doing so, perhaps convince you to cooperate without intervention. Failing that, we have Dr. Gorst, who's developed a unique interview system some of us are very excited about.

[00:31:12]>> What about do no harm?

[00:31:13]>> We brought in Salmon Park last night.

[00:31:15]For a man with very little actual rebellious activity on his resume, he was remarkably resistant.

[00:31:21]>> Yeah, cuz we're not snitches. Tim was and he died for it. We learned everything we needed to know, and quite frankly, it hardly seems worth the price he's paid.

[00:31:31]>> Unfortunately for you, I don't know much.

[00:31:34]>> He was sent the fractal radio unit you used yesterday afternoon. Did you know you were the only one to use it?

[00:31:41]>> I don't know if she knew any of that.

[00:31:43]>> Now, I would prefer a conversation rather than put Dr. Gorst back to work.

[00:31:48]>> All right, then ask some questions. My sympathy with her character ended when she caught Bix cuz that's my girl.

[00:31:55]>> He says you sit up on that radio for hours at a time.

[00:32:00]>> Hours on that ladder. Girls got muscles.

[00:32:04]>> Six face-toface meetings.

[00:32:07]>> Then get me a sketch artist. And y'all better not put Marva in here or we're going to have a problem.

[00:32:13]>> You're not going to believe me anyway, are you?

[00:32:17]>> No.

[00:32:18]>> Damn. She's a good actress. Get her as a villain in a horror movie.

[00:32:23]>> But we can take the [ __ ] if we push.

[00:32:25]>> Good luck.

[00:32:26]>> What do you say, oldtimer?

[00:32:28]>> Oh, he's just like me.

[00:32:29]>> My hand. I might need some help.

[00:32:32]>> Put you up. Be 41 shift tomorrow. You are the next man out.

[00:32:38]>> How long has poor Olaf been here?

[00:32:40]>> The restraints are nothing to be feared.

[00:32:42]>> This doctor looks evil. He looks like he's having too much fun. There's an outer rim moon called Daiz on Frey.

[00:32:49]There was a sentient species there.

[00:32:50]Quite unusual. Extremely hostile to the concept of an Imperial refueling center that was being planned.

[00:32:55]>> Oh, I wonder why.

[00:32:56]>> The massacre of the Daenerites was broadcast. They make a sound as they die.

[00:33:00]>> I want to see him die.

[00:33:01]>> Three communications officers monitoring the documentation and they were found hours later huddled together in in various states of emotional distress.

[00:33:12]Doesn't take long.

[00:33:15]Oh, and if you're having difficulty speaking, just shake your head from side to side.

[00:33:19]>> Like this way or this way or this way or what do you mean? It's repeat listenings that cause the most damage.

[00:33:28]>> I don't want to hear. I don't want to hear.

[00:33:33]Praise be. This is a good choice. Just zoom me in on her.

[00:33:41]>> Good editing. Good editing. I'm taking my run.

[00:33:46]>> What's your run? You just get like one walk a day, go to the bathroom.

[00:33:53]>> I told you he's been looking around like he's got plans.

[00:33:59]>> On program. New man on the floor.

[00:34:02]>> Two men back. Two weapons.

[00:34:04]>> No boots. The elevator is not wired.

[00:34:07]Nothing that moves can fry you.

[00:34:09]>> Good to know he's been planning something.

[00:34:16]Don't touch my girlfriend.

[00:34:17]>> When was the last time you spoke?

[00:34:19]>> I know there's got to be fanfiction about these two.

[00:34:23]>> What? What's on now?

[00:34:25]>> Just talked about this.

[00:34:27]>> Oh, poor guy.

[00:34:28]>> Keep her here. Keep her alive.

[00:34:31]>> As a hostage, >> as a witness and Salmon Park.

[00:34:34]>> I don't care.

[00:34:36]>> I'd like to hang him. What's left of him anyway?

[00:34:39]>> [ __ ] I was just wondering earlier like, "Oh, these people, this is just what they know. Maybe they're not all evil." I changed my mind. They're evil.

[00:34:47]>> Shandrilla stands with those in opposition to the emperor's new public safety legislation.

[00:34:52]>> Some of you love being bootlickers.

[00:34:54]>> Speak the truth.

[00:34:57]>> What happened to the core room?

[00:35:00]>> I stand here today to speak with senators who come with open minds.

[00:35:04]>> It'll be hard not to quit, but I know it's part of her cover. They called from the residence. Your cousin, she's arrived.

[00:35:12]>> Is it Vel?

[00:35:14]>> Something's wrong. What's going on? I think it's level two.

[00:35:22]>> And I love how we see what he sees. We don't really get a zoom in of that person.

[00:35:30]>> He's my favorite character in Lord of the Rings, so it's cool to see him in this.

[00:35:34]>> What was that? I think the only other thing I've seen him in is 13 going on 30. Something's really wrong on two.

[00:35:40]>> Stand in place on program. We will have immediate facility compliance or we will begin activating flaws without warning.

[00:35:46]>> Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. Okay. Okay. I love how we feel as clueless as they do.

[00:35:51]>> Aren't Tassacio moon?

[00:35:53]>> It is Belle.

[00:35:54]>> Your father may have an opinion. We'll see if he lets you wear it.

[00:35:57]>> He lets me do anything I want.

[00:35:58]>> This little [ __ ] She needs grounding.

[00:36:01]>> Where have you been?

[00:36:02]>> So, is this her real family then? You never think about escaping?

[00:36:07]>> You know I won't answer that.

[00:36:10]>> Oh, damn. He's really close to his time.

[00:36:13]>> How many guards on each level?

[00:36:15]>> You've been warned.

[00:36:16]>> You think they care what we say?

[00:36:18]Nobody's listening.

[00:36:19]>> He's going to smack you. If anyone can escape, it's Cassian.

[00:36:24]>> Ken gave us a list of every piece of gear that came through Ferris.

[00:36:27]>> Andor, >> he's all the way through this. Andor returned to Ferex three nights after Alani with money in his pocket.

[00:36:34]>> Couldn't that be from the sale of the star path?

[00:36:36]>> Can't be.

[00:36:36]>> We have it. Yeah.

[00:36:38]>> He was clean shaven. Andor had shaved.

[00:36:41]>> That is true. I said they desexified him.

[00:36:43]>> The rebels at Aldani were clean shaven.

[00:36:46]>> Yeah.

[00:36:46]>> And two soldiers from the garrison who got a look at him felt there was some similarity to our reference picture.

[00:36:50]>> She's doing a good job at her.

[00:36:52]>> You didn't question the mother.

[00:36:54]>> Leave Marva alone.

[00:36:55]>> Frail for anything serious.

[00:36:57]>> Yeah. You think she's going to go out with a bang? I think >> what >> what happened to you and 25? If they were fried out, they killed. They're all gone.

[00:37:05]>> 100 men.

[00:37:06]>> Uh that's worrying cuz if if they did that to them, they can do that to you.

[00:37:10]>> Yeah, they were making trouble.

[00:37:13]>> And that can lead to two different reactions.

[00:37:16]>> Set them all free.

[00:37:19]>> You know, we need to be careful unless they think we know >> the better.

[00:37:24]>> It can make you get antsy and worried.

[00:37:26]It can make you lock in. It can make you want to follow the rules more or fight more.

[00:37:31]>> We have heard nothing.

[00:37:34]>> That is the right route to take. And he's so close to his release that it would be really scary to like think you're going to die because of someone else's actions potentially.

[00:37:44]>> Only up early. Something I should know.

[00:37:47]>> I could be searching my room again.

[00:37:49]>> It's called cleaning.

[00:37:52]>> Fair. I find you a job. a pressy uniform.

[00:37:56]>> But you're also a [ __ ] In >> the shadow of a son, a tenant.

[00:38:00]>> You wonder why >> I've been promoted.

[00:38:03]>> Really?

[00:38:04]>> I knew they'd recognize your promise.

[00:38:06]>> Is he lying?

[00:38:14]>> The OCD in me recognizes the OCD in you, sir.

[00:38:18]>> Come on, boys. Let's go.

[00:38:24]Something bad's going to happen to him cuz he's not in the position to be doing this labor. He's really not and nobody cares besides his team.

[00:38:31]>> I remember him about to Shandra today.

[00:38:33]>> Yes. The pilgrimage.

[00:38:35]>> Find yourself a husband.

[00:38:36]>> Sir, that's a lesbian.

[00:38:38]>> He's left of any value at your age. You remember Tay KMA?

[00:38:42]>> Mother's old boyfriend.

[00:38:43]>> I told you they had something.

[00:38:45]>> Tay Colema.

[00:38:47]>> Money. Is that all it is >> for now? What have we done, pal?

[00:38:52]>> What's right?

[00:38:53]>> We're fighting against the dark.

[00:38:55]>> The dark side. They don't even know that that's what they're fighting, but it is.

[00:38:59]And I can imagine some people don't like the show simply because there's no Jedi.

[00:39:04]But as someone who has been a lifelong Star Wars fan, it's not missed. This is the part of Star Wars that felt abandoned in so many of these reboots.

[00:39:13]But they're all stories worth telling, and they're all things that affected what happened to the Jedi. and in the original trilogy and it's all stuff that are consequences of what happened in the prequel tril trilogy.

[00:39:27]>> I don't know if he was really promoted or if he's just doing his own [ __ ] >> Oh, >> I know who you are.

[00:39:38]>> She was not expecting you.

[00:39:40]>> I wanted to thank you for the promotion.

[00:39:41]>> Oh, he did get a promotion.

[00:39:43]>> Have you been waiting out here?

[00:39:44]>> He'd make a great serial killer. He has patience, attention to detail, a little crazy.

[00:39:50]>> Are you stalking me a little bit? I >> know you work here and I come sometimes to see if I'll see you.

[00:39:56]>> He's in love.

[00:39:57]>> I thought I had ruined my life. I thought I was done.

[00:40:00]>> You gave him hope. Unfortunately for you.

[00:40:03]>> Just being in your presence. I >> therapy. Therapy.

[00:40:07]>> You're out of your mind. I have already given you a second chance.

[00:40:10]>> He's not listening. He's not listening.

[00:40:15]Go to work. You took PTO to do this.

[00:40:18]>> Just came in. They picked up a rebel pilot an hour ago.

[00:40:21]>> Where are they holding him?

[00:40:22]>> A destroyer off Steer Guard.

[00:40:23]>> They said they they mentioned Steer Guard with Luan.

[00:40:27]>> I've been over the accounts. I wish you'd called me sooner.

[00:40:31]>> It can't all be hidden.

[00:40:32]>> Easiest thing would be a deposit.

[00:40:34]>> If I had that much sitting around, I wouldn't have burdened you. I need a loan.

[00:40:38]>> A certain kind of loan.

[00:40:39]>> Something under the table.

[00:40:41]>> Davos Celon.

[00:40:42]>> He's a thug. Yeah, but when we're doing illegal [ __ ] sometimes you got to team up with some outlaws. What do you think?

[00:40:49]>> I think you're just like everyone else he works with.

[00:40:51]>> You'd be surprised how many people like this are doing shady [ __ ] All the American senators are doing insider training. Trading.

[00:40:57]>> He flashed an Imperial profile for a moment, then vanished.

[00:40:59]>> Any chance he radioed home before they got it?

[00:41:01]>> He swears he didn't.

[00:41:02]>> This was a Dr. Gorst interview.

[00:41:04]>> Yes, sir. Confidence is high.

[00:41:06]>> We need to take out Dr. Gorst.

[00:41:08]>> They'll count him missing soon enough.

[00:41:09]>> Destroy the ship. Make it look like an accident. Have the pilot found dead in the cockpit? What?

[00:41:14]>> Damn, y'all had to meet me to come up with that.

[00:41:21]>> I have so much freaking empathy for this old man as someone whose hands don't work either.

[00:41:30]>> Oh no.

[00:41:31]>> Olaf, >> come on. Let's get this done. I >> I I think Olaf is having a fit.

[00:41:35]>> On program.

[00:41:37]>> Cover him. Cover him. Oh, he needs a doctor.

[00:41:45]Enough.

[00:41:46]>> Come on, keep moving.

[00:41:49]Let's go. Tell him we need a medtech up here.

[00:41:51]>> You only got a few shifts left.

[00:41:53]>> He's not going to make it.

[00:41:57]>> Let's go.

[00:41:58]>> Who is this? Oh, the doctor maybe.

[00:42:01]>> Haven't seen you for a while. Haven't gone anywhere.

[00:42:04]>> Seems like the doctor's also a prisoner.

[00:42:07]But he got 40 shifts left. He's tough as an old rock.

[00:42:11]>> Even rocks break after a while.

[00:42:14]>> Getting back on his feet. That's not an option.

[00:42:17]>> We're putting him down.

[00:42:18]>> He's had a massive stroke.

[00:42:21]>> Another week like this and you'll be begging for what he's getting.

[00:42:25]>> What do you mean? What happened on level two?

[00:42:28]>> I barely know this guy and I feel so sad.

[00:42:35]I just like Cassian has seen so much death.

[00:42:37]>> What happened down on two? They made a mistake. A man who was just released on four ended up back on two the next day.

[00:42:46]Work got out on the floor and then they killed them all.

[00:42:49]>> They're not letting people out.

[00:42:50]>> No one's getting out, are they?

[00:42:52]>> No.

[00:42:54]>> It's my last tissue. Don't worry. I'll have a bunch of them from Costco. And you have more reason to fight if you think you're not getting out.

[00:43:03]We don't have much longer of this episode, so we probably won't see it till the >> more than 12 >> till the next Yeah.

[00:43:16]godamn do I wish I had time to sit and watch the next freaking two ep or three episodes and finish the season, but I don't. That was crazy. The way they make you feel for these characters just by simply being who they are being in these vulnerable positions in this oppressive system. It's just heartbreaking. It's just so well done. The character work, the music, the writing, it's all beautiful and it just makes you feel for everyone involved. You can feel things amping up. I could easily see some people watching these three episodes and thinking they're a little slower, but that is not how I feel at all. I love these little conversations we're seeing.

[00:43:59]I love the little pieces of the puzzle getting put into place that I think are leading us into this little finale arc.

[00:44:06]Next week, I will be finishing the season. I'm ready to have my heart broken. I'm ready to be screaming at my computer monitor. I'm ready to be inspired. The show is inspiring. The parallels keep getting deeper to real life. The characters keep becoming mirrors to real life people. The events are so compelling. And I am just so excited to continue it further and to think I have a whole another season after this is very exciting. Thank you to everyone who voted for this show.
