The best Star Wars scene of all time isn't even in a Star Wars film.

It was fucking stupid. How far away was the prison from land? Most people would get dead tired after swimming a few hundred feet. And why didn't the Empire just use Tie Fighters to blast the water while they were swimming?

>>213086783
They made a point of how understaffed the prison was because of its electric floor design. The swimming part is easy to suspend disbelief towards.

Prison Break arc is overrated. Aldhani and Ghorman arcs are better.

you can swim longer in space water

>>213086832
>They made a point of how understaffed the prison was because of its electric floor design.
Doesn't change the fact that they Empire probably had a small ship loaded with TIE Fighters in the area.
>The swimming part is easy to suspend disbelief towards.
It isn't.

that's not the ghorman massacre

Finally...Star Wars for adults.

>>213086863
>Ghorman
WOW IT'S JUST LIKE THE LE TRUMP ICE RAID RIOTS IN LA!

>>213086747 (OP)

This show was completely memory holed just as I expected.

>>213086920
>>Ghorman
>WOW IT'S JUST LIKE THE LE TRUMP ICE RAID RIOTS IN LA!
...no? The Ghorman massacre was a pretty blatant allegory to Nazi occupation of France. The immigration allegory was the first arc of the second season which is generally accepted to be pretty weak.

You guys weren't here when it aired obviously. Everyone was posting bleddit screencaps.

There's something about the chuds isn't there, their arrogance, the smell. Its truly revolting isn't it.

>KALKITE DEPOSITS

>>213086783
Those people have been pulling twelve hour shift seven days a week. Swimming for half an hour isn't gonna kill them.

>>213087102
>it's tru because some retard on reddit said so

>>213086783
you just know thers some star wars creatures like great whites in the water

>>213087158
>Those people have been pulling twelve hour shift seven days a week. Swimming for half an hour isn't gonna kill them.
Yeah, because one translates so well into the other....and wouldn't doing 12 hour shifts make you tired? You think Olympic swimmers are working 12 hours shifts to prepare for their races/

>>213087186
This too. No space sharks or "there's always a bigger fish" creatures.

I wonder how many of them drowned anyway. That looked like a fucking long swim to shore

>>213087225
yes

>>213087273
In theory none of them should have made it
>drowned from getting tired along the way
>sea creatures eating them
>TIE fighters swooping down and just blasting them with lasers
>some troops waiting at the beaches to grab them when they get to shore
The entire scenario was so fucking retarded.

>>213086747 (OP)
Don't know if it's the best but it's undeniably Kino.

>>213087308
Ok retard. Show me vids of Olympic swimmers working in factories to train for their races. You clearly have never worked a manual labor job. You get stronger, but you are also tired more. If you said to a guy working at a factory job right now "jump into this lake and swim to that island half a mile away" they woudn't be able to do it.

>>213087344
This is actually a fact

>>213086996
This ignores the fact it was made (aired, even?) before ICE raids.

>"Can't swim"
>Kino and 2 black guys in the frame
Who said they can't swim? It could be any one of those three

>>213087372
That's why I said undeniably.

>>213087102
I don't go out of my way to hate stuff because some of the fans are idiots. Sports fandom would be impossible if that's how everyone operated.

>>213086747 (OP)
Dogshit show, Rick & Morty tier fanbase that can't stop astroturfing this flopped garbage. Fuck off to reddit where you belong.

>>213087225
That translates into them not being out of shape fatties at the very least. I understand that for some people swimming a mile seems an impossible feat but it's actually not for the average healthy adult male.

>>213087425
>literally defending the wedding scenes, which were almost universally considered garbage

Are you part of it?

>>213087482
>That translates into them not being out of shape fatties at the very least.
You've clearly never swam or working a manual labor job. You get tired. Your body gets tired. Doing that job for a long time then expecting to swim a mile is fucking ludicrous. You are living in a fantasy land. (and it looked longer than mile).

>>213087525
What is this photo? Are these guys Olympic swimmers? And again this isn't a job. This is a short training exercise or competition. As was said, the prisoners were worked to the bone 12 hours everyday. There is no way they would have the energy for a swim like that. Most people couldn't do it anyway. Swimming is hard.

>>213087549
Wasn't Sam Witwer the Shore Trooper?

>>213087603
they are olympic swimmers working in the lumber factory. it's open air, very progressive for the time.

>>213087619
I am asking the questions here.

>>213087549
This scene was also kino

Time for a rewatch !!!

>>213087658
>they are olympic swimmers working in the lumber factory.
Are you fucking retarded? They didn't put those very small logs into clamps then have the guys stand on them with an axe and cut them AND have a large crowd watching for "work". It's clearly some kind of competition you fucking retard.
And there is no evidence that these are Olympic swimmers. It looks like your typical wood chopping competition (guy on the far right doesn't have a swimmers body). You can even see the judge inspecting the competition.
Kys you literal retard

>>213087525
https://teara.govt.nz/en/photograph/38719/wood-chopping-competition-etaples-1918

It was literally a wood chopping competition in New Zealand. Nothing to do with Olympic swimmers.
Andorfags are so fucking retarded

>>213087737
bet you feel really embarrassed right now

If the story of Andor wasn't part of the Star Wars universe and was something else with the same story it would have swept the Emmys kek

>>213087957
>lose argument in sad fashion
>resort to AI garbage
You suck and Andor sucks.

the water was salting like the dead sea , they floated in it

>>213088034
it seems like you can't disprove my argument and you resort to ad homomen. pretty sad.

>>213088082
Lame.

>>213088022
Star Wars shows had no problem sweeping Emmys. Maybe Andor is just shit.

>>213086783
>I can't swim a few hundred feet occasionally floating on my back to catch my breath I would LITERALLY die
Do third worlders really...?

Star Wars was always political.

>>213088200
Pretty sure Lucas himself said a lot of stuff in the prequels was inspired by the US meddling in the Middle East

>>213088265
also vietnam

>>213086783
>>213087550
only about 3 survived the swim iirc

>>213088373
Melshi and Andor are the only ones we see make it

>>213088889
>cereal gets blasted without a word after his arch nemesis asks who the fuck he even is
>deedra gets to spend the rest of her life ON PROGRAM
Pretty grim fates for both of them

>>213089035
>his arch nemesis asks who the fuck he even is
this normie take pisses me off

Syril pauses because he doesn't know who he is, and realizes he's the bad guy and actually, he wants to join the rebellion in that moment.

>>213089176
Maybe he would have, but Andor still had no idea who Syril was despite being his main source of motivation for a couple years

>>213087712

Why did you even watch the second season?

Why are you like this?

>>213086747 (OP)
I don't want to think about Star Wars anymore

>>213086747 (OP)
I've really enjoyed how many memorable but brief characters the show has had. They're around for a couple of episodes at most, but you remember them, and the casting is distinct enough to where they stand out acting-wise and visually.

>>213086980

>>213089176
I'm autistic as shit and my take having seen the episode 1,5 hour ago was that he was just dumbfounded, but your explanation makes more sense within the context of the events just before. That sorta pretentious slowmo of his face midmassacre felt like his realisation that the empire he wanted to excel within was evil, and that he had basically wasted his time and effort.

>>213086747 (OP)
Fixed.

>>213086747 (OP)
When I heard a ton of praise for Andor all I saw was tiny clips or screenshots from the prison, so until I started watching the show myself this year I thought "Andor" was a space station prison, or a prison planet, and that the entire show was set within a prison where they were trying to break out - Dedra being a warden or something. (I saw that vixen posted a lot, naturally)

>>213086747 (OP)
do I speak for everyone when I say I expected Keyla and Mon's cousin to bang?
they were really suggestive about it at the wedding, and then nothing happened, what was that about?

>>213088022
Star Wars worldbuilding is shit that’s why. Andor writers should’ve been given a historical setting or a good piece of fiction

>>213091706
Syril is such a kino character. I wished we got him fighting alongside cassian for a while but his ending is kino as it is

>>213086893
>Doesn't change the fact that they Empire probably had a small ship loaded with TIE Fighters in the area.
The rebels would've shot down the tie fighters

>>213086863
>>213086899
but do you condemn the ghorman front?

>>213086747 (OP)
The best Star Wars scene of all time isn't even in a movie or a show.

diego luna should be more popular than pedo pascal

>>213093941
>The rebels would've shot down the tie fighters
If the rebels could should down the TIE fighters (that are shooting the prisoners escaping) then why didn't the rebels just attack the prison and set all the prisoners free?

>>213086921
is that an ftm?

This show was maybe a 6/10 at the most. I'm sure that's still leagues better than the other Star Wars shows, but this was not prestige television. The dialogue regularly tries way too fucking hard to be deep and epic and loses all subtlety and believability in the process. The younger cast members do not have the skill to sell a gritty story in such a silly setting. And Andor himself is simply not fun or likable or charismatic or relatable or really anything, I have no idea what I'm supposed to feel for him. It's watchable and puts together some nice high-tension scenes pretty regularly but big-picture it's hard to take it all seriously.

>it's like, four three-episode mini-movies per season, dude!
>3 or 4 of them are decent

This is not a good thing, /tv/.

>>213094453
you sound like you make youtube content about how south park is not funny anymore because they made an episode you dont like
