ANDOR EPISODE 12 REACTION & REVIEW 

So after I edited this video, I discovered there was a post credits scene! What did you think about finally seeing what Cassian and the Narkina 5 prisoners were building?? 🤯

All respect to the GOAT, John Williams….Andor uses sound and music better than anything we’ve ever gotten. That somber funeral march, from the band tuning up, to the broken, discordant notes, all building to a sad, then powerful score…magnificent Anyone that wasn’t ready to cry, then fight has no heart

This has been an excellent series, which really needs to be looked at not episode by episode but as a well-written novel. With that said, each episode has so many emotional moments to enjoy. In this episode, one moment that warmed my heart was Cassian and Brasso's hug in the tunnel. Clearly, Cassian needed that hug. He has been thru hell. He learns that his mom has died and is feeling the pain and guilt of her loss. He barely managed to escape the prison, but it's not lost on him that Kino and many others likely did not make it. But he is home now and is greeted by a friend who gives him the firm embrace he needs. He needed that recharge of the genuine love of family and community he had been missing. Cassian keeps so much of his pain hidden that he needs to let go and cry for all he has been through. But short of that, Brasso's hug lifted him to a point where he needed to prepare for his next battle.

When Brasso is telling him Maarva's last words to him, you can tell that he's relaying everything as it was said, but you can see in his face and hear in his tone that he's in complete agreement with her on all of it.

What an episode! What a series! The Maarva speech was perfect. I love how she can make such a difference even after she has passed on. The same can be said for Nimek's manifesto. I can't wait for season two!

The funeral march is the Andor Theme Song...its been playing differently each episode

Diego Luna is such a good actor. His eyes and face when he says "No game" at the end of the episode... When things get rough, you put on your Cassian Andor face. That's how you take down Death Stars.

Just discovered your channel through this vid, it's refreshing finding another reactor/reviewer that actually appreciates the finesse and effort that goes into shows like these. It's fun watching other reactors, but often times they're just tracing back to other niche star wars references and whatnot. I really like that you actually talk about how much Tony Gilroy has put into this show and the colossal amount of detail, production quality, direction that this whole show has. Good work! On a sidenote, seeing Maarva explicitly calling the Empire a disease was so badass, and Luthen, a man we've seen previously to be the most grizzled, discompassionate, pragmatic rebel, actually looked moved- as if he realised that he too underestimated what Ferrix really is- who Maarva really is. I could spend hours talking about this show so it's nice watching your video and seeing you also recognise this show for how great it really is

There was a post-credits scene. Make sure you see it.

Way to build a hero. Well told. Hope Stormtroopers will continue to be able to Aim properly in future SW properties from here on out.

Luthen always wanted Cassian to fully join him but knew that it was impossible at the start, so he hired him as a mercenary instead. Because he was a loose end after Aldhani they wanted to kill him but now that Cassian wants to fully join up with the rebellion Luthen laughs because he knows just how good Cassian is and how much they can do together.

Andor is a legendary masterpiece.

Thanks for another great vid! From your reaction, I think you got the meaning Cassian’s last line wrong. ”Kill me or take me in…” …to your inner circle/the rebellion (not to the authorities or anything like that.☺️) He wants to live, he wants to fight. That’s why Luthen is smiling. You’re awesome Jen 🙏

I really think that the scene with the Andor and his dad was also an analogy for Bix. She is beaten and appears to be broken but when clean will become better than new. Combine with Maarva speech, I think she will rise to become a key rebel leader.

Brilliant (final) reaction to a perfect season. And the wait for season 2 will be worthwile, if a show can look us forward to the future, this can only be a good thing. Small question though : can anyone explain the small scene that involved that cap exchange? I'm afraid I am missing the background/tone?

Your reactions have been a treat all season I look forward to reigniting this story in 2024 and finish building the Alliance. May the Force be with you !!

Cassian leaving the gun for Luthen is primarily bc he knew that he came there to kill him and that he would not stop until it happened. That direction “kill me or take me in” is Cass telling him either choose to put all of your original intentions away and let’s fight together, or fulfill them. In a way he knew that was the only way, while also having and acting on that desire now fully in him to fight, for him, for maarva, for his friends, family, comrades, for everyone. And it is a direct contrast to their previous interaction on that ship where Cass pulled the gun on him and Luthen basically prompted him with the same choices.

12:48 The animated show Rebels that also deals with the rebellion, also features a younger Saw Guerrera as well as other characters such as Mon Mathma (after the Andor series) Maul, Obi Wan, leia and more, showed us big holograms like this as well. We also learned more of the spiritual forces behind “The Force” and how animals are involved as well. There are witches and ghosts. But also regular people like Andor fighting. If you haven’t watched it, it is worth it. But is animated and some people never got to learn the rest of the rebellion because they didn’t give this cartoon a chance….

I love how you were like, “Oh don’t you dare get the bell tower guy!” but also pointing like, “Go get him!” 😂 Like others have said, I was also waiting for your reaction to the end credits scene. I get missing it because I only saw it by accident since I was preoccupied and just listening to the music when it came up. I was like 😮

13:50 Luthen is the most fascinating character I think. After seeing his two characters and the part he plays, the charismatic and happy dealer always smiling. I feel like this is finally a legitimate smile resonating from who Luthen truly is. For once, the man who sacrificed everything, smiles at the fruits of his labor and hard work manifesting in a small town on a pointless planet that sparks the fire of Rebellion across the Galaxy. Beautiful reaction ❤

You would be a lot of fun to watch episodes with. Love the enthusiasm. Glad you liked the finale as much as we did.

Ahhh I don't want it to be over , I hope Season 2 isn't to far away ! I'm so glad they showed that ending credit scene too.

Your reactions are so honest and engaged, even with the intro music, kudos 😊 This finale was so satisfying but it's bittersweet as I need season 2 yesterday.

Loved your reactions this season! Hope to see you for Mando S3!

Really great reaction and sharp commentary. This episode was such an amazing cap to an incredible season. And per usual, it was just packed with detail. I definitely had to rewatch some things that you caught straight away. I feel both rapturous with this season, and hungry for the next one. I think that's about all I could ask for from a show.

Aesome reaction, and yes check the post credits teaser

Great reaction as always. Looking forward to your future content!

There was a post-credits scene at the end the reveals what the items the prisoners were building was for.

I'm pretty sure that's not a wedding for Leida and Davo's son at the end. Davo said he wasn't asking for a betrothal (although I'm sure I heard an unspoken 'yet' at the end of that claim) so it probably wasn't even an official engagement, it was just a formal introduction. I do get the impression that we're talking about an _arranged_ marriage here and not a _forced_ marriage. The parents set their kids up with each other, and probably apply all sorts of pressure to convince them to marry, but they can't legally compel them to do so if they don't want to.

Thanks, Jennifer! 🧱 The enjoyment level is so high, for me, with this show. I am certain the wait for Season 2 will be worth it. Since you asked, I was gratified to get confirmation on what the captives were building during that post credit scene. #JenniferLanda #StarWars #Andor

So I've never been big into star wars canon. I go to the movies. I saw the old ones. That's it. But I recently started delving into more SW. I watch Mando. Of course But I've started Clone Wars I watched this show. And it's the best. I always loved Rogue One. But this just makes me love it more. That ending of the movie. Cassians parents would've been so PROUD 👏🏽 🥲 And I never knew much about Mon Mothra. now I do!!!! I feel connected. Very excited

You recognized that the band switched to a battle march! Great! Brasso had told B2 the day before "The Daughters require your service." Clearly, they had already heard Maarva's speech and were intending to start some shizzle. Refusing to adhere to the Empire's instructions on their numbers, or their timing, or limitations on their movements, they intended to rebel, even in a small way. If the Imperial governor had merely kept cool and let them have their demonstration, it's possible that even Wilmon might not have used his bomb. I suspect Dedra will be able to pin the entire fiasco on the Imperial governor.

Keep up the great work on these reaction videos. Your commentary is so on point as always. Big forcecenter fan here.

Loved your reaction! This show is a masterpiece and more SW shows need to have smart writing like Andor.

I absolutely love your reactions to Andor. You get so into it. Such a phenomenal show and finale.

I was thinking “omg is it ending?! She didn’t catch the post credit scene!! Then I did a Vader “NNNNOOOO!!!!!!!

Season 2 started production last Monday. Filming will last until August 2023, then post production will take a year. It will be around September 2024 when season 2 starts, which will be two years after season 1 started. One last thing, you missed the post credit scene.

Just to clarify (and you probably know this by now, but just in case), by "Kill me or take me in" Cassian meant take him into the rebellion. It's a call back to episode 4 when Cassian says "It's better to live" than to really fight the empire. Now he's saying he'd rather be dead than not fight.

Have watched this series TWICE...will admit, did not do that even for GOT:House of the Dragon. Why? Perhaps because Andor characters have more depth due to the role in life...not required to be leaders with no choice. They all have some measure of choice to "sleep" or WAKE UP and ACT. Excellent writing. Star Wars for grownups...at last.

7:43 is Jen on a Speeder!

Luke saved everyone 😢all will be proud including rogue one

You want to see the casino but he never was at on. Mon Mothma is throwing him under the bus to explain the money inconsistencies

you must see the post credits scene

Post credit scene!

Ahhhh! you missed the post credit scene ;)

17:07 Love is in the air ;p

Nemik's manifest is so good, so well written and fitting. I could see Iranians saying some of the same things as they resist their authoritarian regime. And I hope they keep trying.

"I want them to end up together" and they can pull a Romeo and Juliet

Oh no this episode have a post credit scene can you see this scene

That is some freaky shite ,Cyril and Deedra.

Watching Deedra and Syril interact in this episode is so funny because it's going through the motions of a romance, except both parties are complete sociopaths. It's like the love story that no one asked for. Funny thing is though, still not the worst courtship in Star Wars (i.e. "I don't like sand...").

Was a bit disappointed with Boba and Obi-Wan this year and thought the same about Andor and didn't even look at them and waited for the criticism! I was a bit surprised how good this series is and I liked it better from week to week. Just great and I'm already looking forward to season 2.

❤❤❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋💋💋

Mandalodian Season 3 reaction, girl?
