WOW. | Andor 1x12 Reaction | Rix Road 

Hi everyone! Sorry for the delay in this video that was meant to go up yesterday. As you can probably tell by the background, I moved and that sent me behind BIG time. Anyways I'm so happy to have it up for you all now, let me know what you thought of this finale!

The funeral scene was just so well done. I love how all the time Andors main theme was the Ferrix custom music, showing that Ferrix is always in Cassians heart, or how Brasso used Maarvas brick to fight the empire. Its what Maarva wouldve wanted - for her own ashes to pack a punch to the Empire. I wonder what happened with her brick. Did Brasso take it with him on the ship? And as Maarva said "Fight the Empire!", the original line was supposed to be "F*#@ the Empire!", but they scrapped it because it would take unnecessary attention in this impactful scene

It took 12 episodes but we finally got to see Luthen smile... All it took was a change of heart on both of their parts. Cassian is now fully in and Luthen begins to see things slightly differently after Maarva's speech. Awesome show.

I love emmes love for droids. All the stuff with mon and her daughter was so sad. The end credit scene gave me goosebumps. 😮

I loved all the monologues in this series. I'm sad at first I didn't want to give this a shot but I'm glad I turned around in the end!

ador is the most emotionally evocative thing ive ever watched

The hat exchange is an old trick for not losing someone in a crowd. If you get separated from your friend, then just look for your hat and there they are.

They swapped their hats to make it easier to see each other in the crowd - this was such a great episode, I most definitely had something in both eyes 😭😭

WOW!!! Such a great finale, right? I was so into this, it was so immersive, I literally felt like I was a part of the cause, constantly crying throughout the last half of the ep, GRR season 2 cannot come soon enough >:(((

This was a truly epic finale to an amazing season of an incredible show. Loved your reaction!

God, this entire episode just has me in a bawling mess of tears every time I watch it. Nearly the whole episode. Every time Bix is on screen, Bee's sorrow, the funeral march, Marva's speech, Bix listening to the speech and humming to the music and chanting "stone and sky" with everyone even despite her hopeless imprisonment and broken state of being, Marva's last words to Cassian, the flashback to Clem as Cassian looks at his brick, the manifesto, everything just brings a new wave of tears.

It just occurred to me that the Sisters of Ferrix probably reviewed Andor's mom's message before the funeral. This would mean that they knew exactly what they were doing and were honoring her wishes to make the funeral a rebel rallying cry.

@emme, 18:57 He absolutely does! The Hammer is the coordinator! He's the guy the Empire missed or dismissed. They guy responsible for telling the town what time it is, is also the guy with emergency protocol procedures. If there were a fire, he'd be the guy to tell you. If there were a flood and you needed to get away to high ground, he'd be the guy to tell you. If it were time to rebel and support each other during that rebellion, he'd be the guy to tell you! The people of Ferrix know the sounds of each chime and their importance.

9:05 Apparently the Security office they worked for had senior officers wear red billed caps. He gave him the reddish cap to symbolize that he was taking the lead in this mission.

I'm a year behind but I just rewatched Andor and then your reactions. You have a talent for this. I can't wait for season 2 now.

So sad that it’s over but excited that we get another season 💜💜

INCREDIBLE SHOW!!! and this from the biggest space-battle-loving, light-saber-loving, jedi-sith-loving Star Wars fan!! So powerful, so emotional, acting off the charts. The writing is just simply THE BEST of any Star Wars project post-Disney. THE BEST!! We have Luthen's monologue, Kino Loy's incredible powerful emotional speech and now Maarva. I have goosebumps and driven to tears more in this series than any other Disney SW show.....BRAVO TONY GILROY AND TEAM!!!

Holy shit! It never occured to me that Bix was unaware of Maarvas passing. wow. Your right.

10:00 The imperials wanted to push the funeral back and keep it small but the community ignored their permit.

I didn’t notice it on my first watch, but Marva’s funeral march had a feeling to it that reminded me of those opening scenes of GoT 6x10. This was probably my favorite episode so far. I can’t wait for season 2. This is the best thing Star Wars has done in a very long time. Edit: It’s not just you, B2 breaks my heart every time.

When the imperial officer kicked over B2, my immediate reaction was to stand up and shout angrily, and I had to stop myself from punching a hole in my monitor.

such an epic finale. Brasso is one of my favorite Andor characters now because of this episode

I can't believe it's the last episode either! I've thoroughly enjoyed you Andor reactions!

“She needed to use the bathroom.” That has cracked me up alot. I don’t know why? 😂

Fun fact: at the end of Maarvas speech, she originally said “Fuck the Empire” and they redubbed “Fight the Empire” 😂

It was a fitting and tense ending. Lots of room to move around in Season 2. I felt the same as you as I progressed through it. And Maarva's speech at the funeral was something else. Such great writing on the show. :)

this isn’t star wars related at all but i couldn’t stop watching your dog it’s so cute

This show is simply perfection. I can’t wait for season 2. Great review.

"Is this the droid we'll grow to love?" Yes, it was.

I like how invested you are in the shows plot, you get offended by the Empires actions. Love it.

Thank you, Emme! 🧱 #Emme #StarWars #Andor

Among all great writing in show "I love him more than anything he could do wrong" passes as unremarkable at first, but it's such great line too and adds to realism. Cause it's so purely motherly line

Fiona Shaw definitely knew this was Marva's eulogy.

Hi Emme!🙂I've been waiting for you reaction to the finale. You are my FIRST reaction of the day. EXCELLENT reactions to the conclusion of season 1!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Hey, great reaction! I loved watching along with you. What a show eh?

i love that ur dog is just in the background licking himself most of the time

Actually the avil dude does need to be banging on the anvil. Do not underestimate the power of morale when shit goes south. That bell is a constant ominous reminder to the empire that they cannot and WILL not have their way whenever they want. Similarly for the people fighting that is the sound of their home they hear everyday, raging for them to fight back.

Emme I'm sad that Andor is over. Without this show I would have not found this awesome channel. I can't wait to watch more stuff with you keep up the amazing work

Excelente conclusión de esta primera temporada. ANDOR ha cimentado un estilo de cómo hacer crear historias de Star Wars. Me agradan tus video-reacciones, Emme. Sigue así. Saludos desde Perú. 🇵🇪

Yes, Tony Gilroy the showrunner recently said that Mon Mothma was intentionally throwing her husband under the bus by making the gambling accusation, knowing full well that her driver would be listening in. Early in the season I thought for sure that her husband or her daughter would turn on her in some way but it looks like basically the opposite has happened. Just another thing I love about this series: Not very predictable. Even forgoing tying up every loose end. This series has exceeded my every expectation, with episode 10 "No Way Out" being my favorite episode.* Can't wait until season two! * It is very possible we will see Andy Serkis again, according to that episode's director!

22:51 I think Emme just got possessed by Ryan George for a second

I can’t stop looking at the puppy in the background ☺️

Yeah hells bells in the town! That is good ending for 1 season🙂

I'm a year late to this but Emme really understood why people love Andor, its not because its a Star Wars show its because its a well made piece of television and an amazing story. The people who dont like it would prefer a badly written show as long as it has a lightsaber in it. The way Emme got emotionally attached to the characters shows it meant more to her than just being a StarWars show. You dont have to be a Star Wars fan to enjoy it, but just because people are fans of the "Star Wars" doesnt mean they have to hate it.

As a reaction to the hat part its easier to spot your own hat in a crowd thats why they switched hats

Amazing finale. Can't wait for season 2!

Wow…. What a great reaction 😊

WOW. I have still not been arrested. Thank you for that suggestion, Emme.

That droid design is from video game Fallen Order. Look it up BD-1

Hey! I came to say: Wow! Yes, the best SW franchise yet, different from the original SW presentation, but still SW-ish! At least as good as The Mandalorian, but with fewer cameos. This episode is spot on, well balanced, and well written, with just the right amount of thrilling, adventurous, and suspenseful scenes, and an explosive turning point from the downfall of spirits to the sparks of hope that fueled the Rebellion, later on. For me, The Speech Scene far exceeded my expectations. I'm dying to see the second season.

@9:22--I noticed that this is one of the first groups of stormtroopers I can remember through the entire saga actually marching properly in step (more or less.) Makes it even more unnerving..

Two great Spartan kicks in one episode. First Brasso nails the f**ker with gall to mess with B2, then the Anvil Dude boots the stormtrooper off the tower. So awesome!!

The funeral scene drew inspiration from: Jazz funerals and middle east customs to make a beautiful connection town wide to members of its society A beautiful show and the funeral scene was the first thing they shot. It got all the actors on board with the universe and inner-connectivity of the community

Your pup in the back 😂

The show was amazing

Yes! Let’s get AC/DC on this show performing Hells Bells in the tower with the Anvil-guy 🔥🤘🔥

Mon Mothma knows her driver is listening and is using this fact to misdirect the ISB, all the while without her husband (Perrin) being in on it. If he was in on it then the façade would not have been as effective.

Glad to see you have the tissues - after what happened in "One Way Out" 😢

Fun fact: at the end of Maarva's speech when she said "Fight the Empire" it was actually supposed to be "F*** the Empire"!

Birthday was great especially watching this! Also isn’t it ironic? Cas help create a part of something that ends up killing him

Wow that was just wow lol

15:27 because tyranny is insecure

I like Cassian´s last sentence.... it is the opposite of what Maul said to Ahsoka "Join me or Die"...

Mon Mothma was not too thrilled about the betrothment of her daughter to that kid, but her daughter was. That, combined with throwing her husband under the bus, will allow her to continue to finance the rebellion from behind the scenes.

This show sends a very clear message: snitches get, and I can't stress this enough, stitches.

Who would have thought when Episode I started, that Maarva's funerial would be the social event of the season? I mean, everyone who is anyone is there! Both Imperial and Rebellion. I'd be willing to bet that even Palpatine and Vader are watching it through the Holonet! Let's be honest, it turned out to be one Helluva blast!

They switch hats because in their corpo world, the commander has an orange brim on his hat. It's the Sergeant's way of letting Syril know that he has command. That he still follows his lead.

Next season is another 12 episodes, and every three episode will be an arc that advances the story forward a year (Ep 1-3 are 4 BBY, 4-6 are 3 BBY, 7-9 are 2 BBY, 10-12 are right up to Rogue One). Obviously next season we need to meet up with Brasso, Bix, and B2, BUUTTTT... Cassian also has to reunite with Melshi, he needs to meet/reprogram K2SO, and he'll probably need to meet General Draven and Mon Mothma too! I cannot WAIT for next season!

Bix looks like what they did when the Japanese tortured the airman in the movie "The Purple Heart" of the Doolittle raid over Tokyo in 1942. In a daze, shocked, disoriented.

Regarding the end, rather than Cassian fearing for his life and realising that The Empire or Luthen will catch him most likely sooner than later, I think he has come to feel that there is no greater calling in life, no more important purpose, than to rebel against The Empire. I think that's why Cassian turned himself over to Luthen, not out of self preservation, but because he believes his life would be meaningless unless he helps to bring down The Empire.

"Get AC/DC in this right now!" Nah, we got Ferrix Marching Band, they rock way harder!

It has been a year since you 1st reacted this and a lot of people were confused about this very scene not understanding what happened The empire Tried to push The Time for the funeral back 2 hours The people of Ferris Started the funeral when they wanted to they could care less what the empire was thinking , we , we gonna do it our way not their way That's where all the confusion seems to come in at cause everybody's thinking 2:00But they went ahead and started it at 12:00So that's what it's about,, point of interest The manifest manifest that's being readgonna, It's very interesting Box saw A to Krueger in the same light as Kitten did... When asked if Anti Merger was the buyer of stolen Empire Military equipment, She said yes, because next thing we find Bodies piling up ,She took the light off of The rebellion as a whole And anto Kreeger Was an acceptable Loss, Because he was a separatist! So we find Bix Did not expose Cassian nor Luther... The separatist Was expendable It gave the empire a false sense of having control, when in Fact They were so far away from any kind of control , On RIX ROAD

You know a shows writing and acting is on point when it makes a self proclaimed non crier...cry.

The funeral song is the show theme song 😀

Best Star Wars content since The Empire Strikes Back. Someone on another channel suggested that the projection of Marva at the funeral is that of "the good emperor."

I heard a theory they switched hats because they would recognize their own hat more easily if they got separated.

People always mention that Cassian shouldn't have returned at all, and that since he did, he should've covered himself up walking through the streets. Everyone seems to forget two things... 1) This is Cassian's home turf...he knows all the streets and alleys better than even the most thorough ISB agent. 2) He's far more well-versed in understanding the Imperial thought process, than they are at understanding his. In that regard, literally the ONLY threat is Dedra, and even she isn't as good at it as Cassian is. That, along with his considerable skills of observation, pretty much mean he'll always be several steps ahead. And that's exactly what we see. Three different factions came to Ferrix to get him...and NOT ONE of them got anywhere near him. Luthen only "found" him, because he found Luthen first and went to him explicitly to petition to officially join the Rebellion. And he KNEW Luthen would choose that over killing him. He knew that, after having pulled off what he's pulled off (and Luthen doesn't even know about what happened on Narkina 5), and the fact that he's willing to risk his life to commit to the Rebellion, Luthen would absolutely welcome him into the fold. There was practically zero risk in the move, even though he made it look like he was giving Luthen the choice. And Luthen knew it too...which is why he smiled. Not because he'd just gained a powerful ally, but because he'd just been beaten at his own game.

What would i do to watch this show for the first time again. This wednesday sucked without a new Andor episode so this reaction made the day better. Also you asked why did Syril and Linus Mosk (or whatever his name is) switched hats. Well this show likes to go in detail and these guys are professionals so like in some other spy thrillers, when they duo is going undercover they give each other their own hats because its easier to recognize your own hat in the crowd. Season 2 is supposed to be set 1 year later but its gonna be about 2 years later for us i cant wait! But quality over quantity i guess. What a crazy ride this was!

The revolution has begun! Form the beginning of the show, since episode 1 I knew this was star wars as it was supposed to be. Rogue one showed the way,.

I said I wasn't going to subscribe because you're such a sweetie pie... I wound up subscribing because you're such a wholesome sweetie pie.

Dedra Is such a good character. At first you root for her, like "hey, she's good at her job, lets go!!" but by the end you think "oh no, she's good at her job." As the actress said in an interview, maybe people thought her character was going to be the story of a woman in a man's world. but really its a story of a fascist in a fascist's world.

can’t believe we have to wait till 2024 for season 2 🫠

The hat switch had to do with Ep #3 when they first raided Ferrix. The commanding officers had an orange brim on their hats, so in Ep #12 the ex-Sargent gives his orange brim hat to Cyril the ex-Officer showing that he's in command.

BEST SW SHOW!

WOW! 😄😊

a new Imperial baby is born next season after they left Mr Cereal and Ms ISB in that small dark room :)

They switched hats to reckognize eachother better in a crowd. You look for your own hat first.

WOW Emme! hehe

It seemed like Cassians sister was possibly at that bar/brothel in episode 1 but had long since left with no further leads for him to pursue. So I think she might be part of the S2 story, but who knows. Id really like to know more about who Luthen was during and before the clone wars, he is such a good character and Im very curious about his past. They started filming S2 so hopefully we get in sooner than later, can't wait!

WAOW

The hat switch with Syril is tiny, but ISB commanders had an orange billed hat. Just dude saying that he's leading their little outing!

Wow...

Awesome to see you enjoying this amazing show, though a bit disappointing that even these 11 episodes of political education were not enough for you to drop 'but please let nobody be harmed'. It's interesting. It could've been a natural response, if that's just it, fair, but if it was not, I'd be interested in your thoughts, about why do you ultimately find the case presented by andor accepting and justifying using political violence against people and property. I know about the subtext, about the fascinating representation of the influence of fhirdworldist and maoist theories of people's war andor is in disloggue with - ID love to know a leftie discord where we could arrange a watch party where we could go deeper on what the series is actually communicating

Luthen = Jedi in the cut

🚀

I really hope that you plan on watching Rebels

Maarva might not have made it into a wall, but my word at least she made it into someones face.

The hologram last words would be an incredible tradition to start

Back in 2year time 😉

The pupper in the background is a cutie.
