This is a very good episode and one of the best so far in the Star Wars streaming shows.
After strong opening scenes, we see what feels like the early seeds being sewn for Cassian's introduction to the rebel cause. It isn't a run of the mill first meeting between key characters, it's done in a compelling sequence full of tension.
What is particularly good is that all characters are portrayed realistically on both sides of the conflict and nobody feels one-note. This is through combination of good character writing and performances.
Diego Luna, Stellan Skarsgäd, Fiona Shaw, Kyle Soller, and Alexander Ferns are all on top form.
The visuals are fantastic, with some of the best cinematography, editing, use of music, and production design in Disney era Star Wars. Some say aspects of Andor feel more like 'Bladerunner', which for me is not a problem.
This is just about how regular people make their way in a galaxy under a cruel regime and I am 100% here for it.
I was hoping for something different, for a star wars story without the reliance of callbacks and cameos.
These three episode are just that and it is amazing. We are introduced to a whole new world within a world we are already so familiar with. This felt so entirely new and fresh.
These first episodes exceeded my expectations. I loved all the characters and their complexity. I cannot wait to see more of the world around Andor.
From the somewhat creative action scenes and the use of the environment to keep the action fresher and not be just shooting, to the decent cinematography and the music, this episode was really good and enjoyable.
I think the writing is just decent, not bad and not great either, but just good enough. We've seen so much bad writing in Star Wars under Disney that this run-of-the-mill cliché-filled (but cliché with good execution and implementation) is acceptable for me.
What I appreciate from this show, and having seen Rogue One it's basically expected, is that it doesn't try to paint the protagonist as a "hero" or the good guy, yet, which was one of the major reasons why The Book of Boba Fett sucked so bad. Apparently, Disney and other studios have a real hard time making a movie or show where the bad guy is the protagonist and have to make them a good guy no matter what, and Boba Fett was the worst of them.
And speaking of not painting Andor as the good guy, they also do a good job of showing Syril Karn and slowly developing him as a character and his completely justified hatred toward Andor. Syril might as well could have been the protagonist of the show if it was told from his pov. So they're doing a good job of keeping the characters gray and human.
So far the show is really good but we're just 3 episodes in a season with 12, so the actual plot hasn't been that clear yet and it's slowly developing, but from what I'm seeing, we're maybe looking at another Mandalorian with decent writing and good characters. Looking forward to where the plot and characters are gonna go from here.
The first two episodes move at a slow pace, but everything that is portrayed has a purpose to move the story forward and create a powerful build-up.
Episode 3 comes as the perfect conclusion to the first trilogy of episodes that were released. It is emotional, epic, and a truly refreshing deep-dive into a grounded context of Star Wars. All characters have depth and the soundtrack is mesmerizing (Nicholas Britell once again with the stellar work).
Terrific cinematography and storytelling which leaves us incredibly curious for what is yet to come.
Definitely one of the most interesting Star Wars shows/movies in a long time.

- CuriosidadesWhen B2EMO is seen during the flashback sequence, the droid looks much shinier, cleaner and less battered. However, an article in the Star Wars Insider issue 227 (August, 2024) reveals that only one prop was actually built. Magnetic exterior panels could be swapped out to turn the droid from shiny and new to dented and scratched.

- Citações
Cassian Andor: Look, you got the money. I got the box. What else is there to talk about?
Luthen Rael: I'll give you another thousand credits to tell me how you got it.
Cassian Andor: [Chuckles] Another thousand?
Luthen Rael: Done. How?
Cassian Andor: You just walk in like you belong.
Luthen Rael: Takes more than that, doesn't it?
Cassian Andor: What? To steal from the Empire? What do you need? A uniform, some dirty hands and an Imperial tool kit. They're so proud of themselves, they don't even care. They're so fat and satisfied, they can't imagine it.
Luthen Rael: Can't imagine what?
Cassian Andor: That someone like me would ever get inside their house, walk their floors, spit in their food, take their gear.
Luthen Rael: The arrogance is remarkable, isn't it? They don't even think about us.
Cassian Andor: Us? I don't know you.
Luthen Rael: Fair enough, but I know you. These days will end, Cassian Andor. The way they laugh. The way they push through a crowd. The sound of that voice telling you to stop, to go, to move. Telling you to die. Rings in the ear, doesn't it?
Cassian Andor: Why don't you let me count that money?
Luthen Rael: But they'll think about us soon enough.
Cassian Andor: We should get moving.
Luthen Rael: Soon enough, they'll have something else to listen to.
Cassian Andor: You don't want to get caught with it!
Luthen Rael: Oh, they'd hang me, would they? Take me up Rix Road and hang me in the square. Wouldn't be the first time, would it? Isn't that where they hung your father?
Cassian Andor: [Draws and cocks weapon and points it] Who are you! What is this?
Luthen Rael: [Cassian walks toward Luthen with his gun aimed] I said I know you. I know all about you. And yes, I want the box, and I'll leave with that if it's all I can get. I came looking for something more and I think I found it. I'd like you to come with me.
Cassian Andor: [Cassian walks closer and points his gun in front of Luthen's head] How do you know about me?
Luthen Rael: I was hoping for a more relaxed conversation but you're right, we don't have time. Contrary to what you told me, I doubt that you'll be sticking around. I know you killed two Corpos at Morlana-One, and I know they're coming for you. Seems like such a waste to let them have you. A waste of talent.
Cassian Andor: [Cassian pushes gun between Luthen's eyes and whispers] Who are you?
Luthen Rael: That's the wrong question. The right question is how much time do we have to get out of here.
Cassian Andor: Why would I go anywhere with you?
Luthen Rael: Don't you want to fight these bastards for real?
