This monologue is one of the best in all of television. If you are a young actor who needs a monologue, there you are. And he is a real one. He is a G.
One of the greatest scenes in the best episode of arguably the best Star Wars series. Cannot believe this happened right after Serkis’ jailbreak monologue. Too good.
I dont believe we've ever gotten a monologue quite like this one in all of Star Wars. Last time they gave a monologue like this to a good actor, it was Alec Guinness, but that was all expository dialogue to Luke. It's good that they cast ACTORS and they give them moments to shine as actors when they give characters more dimensions and compelling dialogue like this! Also the one Ewan McGregor gives at the end of Obi-Wan to little Leai, alluding to her parents, I love that one as well!
Andor IMHO is not only the best SW content but top 10 TV series all time... Acting Writing Production.... The second season will no doubt be awesomeness 🔥🔥
@@cryogeneric jokes is a bit much especially since the original trilogy was made over 40 years ago with zero CGI effects... And George Lucas' "writing" as the original cast has mentioned often in interviews...😎
ANDOR is a great show.. it's quite dark in tone and there are no lightsabers, but that's great to see! There is much more to the Star Wars universe than just Jedi and Sith. Bring on another season!
What this show really shows perfectly, more than the original movies, is what every day people sacrificed for the rebellion, for democracy, for freedom. In the movies it was more heroic, here you see the real cost.
In acting, we call these monologues. And this is a damn good one. Encapsulates his heroic, yet ruthless and sad character quite well. Heroes are those who sacrifice for the greater good of all, but sometimes they're the ones brave enough to get their hands really dirty and do some nasty stuff in order to gain that greater good.
After watching both this and Shogun, I've realized something. Luthen Rael is what Yoshi Toranaga would be if circumstances allowed to be completely honest with even just one person.
Sometimes you have to be a little bit of a monster to achieve your idealistic goal. Would you betray comrades or commit a war crime if it means your side wins the war? Would you condemn your soul to Hell if it means paradise for your loved ones? This man would.
I see this and then I see Acolyte and my mind explodes; knowing Disney has it in them to put out Andor and Rogue One, yet still goes out of their way to put out trash.
They don't "go out of their way" to make trash. You people have got to remember two things... 1) Hardly anyone is actually good at anything. But, with nearly 8 billion people, there are bound to be millions with real talent. But there are still BILLIONS who are mediocre morons (hint: NONE of the talented people are billionaires). 2) There are near infinite ways to fuck shit up...but only a tiny handful (sometimes only a single way) to get something right. So when nearly everyone is just rolling fuckin dice on just about everything, the outcome is almost always going to be bad.
@@DoremiFasolatido1979 I'd take issue with the "none of the talented people are billionaires". Just like there are call kinds of people, there are all kinds of "talent". You may not respect the talent it takes to get people to invest in your ideas or buy your products, but it DOES take talent to do that and to run an organization that can provide those billions without crashing and burning, like most businesses do in short order.
Running an entertainment franchise is like running a shoe store. Everybody is a potential customer but not everyone wants the same thing. With Star Wars, some people want lore and some people want hard hitting stories. Disney is really trying to get both types of customers but the aren't threading the needle enough on the Lore side for the Stories people, and even the utter focus on lore at the absolute expense of a good story is killing their audience. Andor did not do well at first (dunno now) because the Lore audience did not care.
@@skiena I always thought Pixar solved that. They can make a movie for children that also carries adult themes, making them rewatchable for decades by the same children who've now grown up. And with the Star Wars shows we've seen so far, with the clear exception of Andor, I believe there simply is too much meddling from the top, too little trust in the artists and too little effort put into the stories, because they are busy moving on to the next show as soon as the first is done, instead of trying to make something special, memorable and long lasting.
