Who Are You?

The tension alone gives this episode a 10/10. But it's not just that. It's legitimately a perfect episode of television. The writing, the emotion, technical aspects such as visuals and sound, everything is perfect. Honestly rivals "One Way Out" in terms of quality. The build up to the main event has been spectacular. This season might end up being the best series of television of the year, it is that good. The set up was great, and the pay off was even better. It felt so raw throughout the entire episode, one of, if not the most brutal episodes of the show so far. This show has proven once again that it is the best thing Star wars has ever produced. Easy 10/10.

Genuinely one of the greatest episodes of television to ever exist hands down period. You know exactly what is going to happen, every character knows what's going to happen, and yet there is truly nothing anyone can do to stop it. This episode truly embodies the evil of imperialism and totalitarianism. There is no one that can save you, no one trying to keep you safe, and there is nothing you are anyone can do. By the end of the episode, everyone is left devastated. I really appreciated how they choose to portray Dedra specifically, some point during the middle she says "this is happening with or without us" and I think that perfectly represents the true power of the empire. Everyone is a cog in the great machine, and no one can stop it. And Dedra isn't cold or heartless which is probably the most sadistic part of the whole thing. She is essentially forced to commit genocide and by the end of the episode she struggles not to breakdown, even in private she can't help but try to hold her self together because that is what fascism does. It forces you to be complicit, it forces you to strip yourself of your humanity. You can't feel guilt or pain. Horrifying stuff.

No words to describe the feeling of watching this episode, but this is peak everything, while writing this I am still processing everything that I witnessed, what a show, what a feeling, simply marvelous.

The brilliance of this resides on the fact that I can't wait to finish this show and rewatch Rogue One and episodes IV through VI, the absolute disgust that the empire representa and ironically the parallels that we actually see in your daily news is just baffling, absolutely frightening yet inspiring.

Tony Gilroy you absolute genius this show is brilliance, it might not feel formulaic but in its very core THIS IS STAR WARS.

One of the best episodes of television I have personally ever seen. The stakes, the tension, the emotion this whole episode were unlike anything I've seen before in Star Wars media. Hours and hours have gone in to building various character arcs for this moment, and safe to say it did not disappoint. You feel the weight of every decision made and so do the characters. I for one am glad to have been here since day one to see this marvel of show become what it is now! 10/10 for me, and I fear Star Wars may never see anything like this again. This is Star Wars at its best, at its peak, and like never before.

What Tony Gilroy, Dan Gilroy, Janus Metz and the rest of the Andor Season 2 crew accomplished here is remarkable, this is the summit of everything the season has been building to since S2E1, such a touching, sad, horrifying and beautiful episode, Andor S2E8 will be remembered as one of the best episodes of modern television, what a masterpiece.

The Empire has never, been more scary than he is here. This is the kind of content Star Wars should be making more, this is the kind of content Star Wars needs more, I thought the One Way Out episode was unbeaten, but I'm glad to see I was wrong, Bravo, Bravo!
