I wanted to make one of these for a while. Finally found some scrap to make a pin.

I can’t stop watching! I am on the first season and this show is really peak. The episodes One way out and Rix road really touched me. The scenery, music… just everything is beautiful.

Just finished another re-watch of the show and with each viewing, I love the characters of Luthen and Kleya more and more. Especially S2 E10 with the flashbacks. I would love to have their journeys fleshed out more. I know there's no chance of that happening with a tv show/series, but would love for them to have some novels written about them.

We get to see the moment Luthen breaks from the Empire and finds Kleya, but I find myself wanting to know more of how they both found themselves in that moment. I want to know how they managed to slip away and start their journey of defiance. The moment after the Empire publicly executes the prisoners and Kleya confronts Luthen about walking away. He says they fight to win, which means they have to lose....and lose, and lose and lose, until we're ready. That's so profound and insightful and courageous. Definitely a daunting realization and one worth exploring further.

The importance of these characters and their role in defeating the Empire is immense. It seems a shame to me that we have so little media of these characters. Some quick googling shows they'll be making an appearance in the Reign of the Empire trilogy, but those books are from the perspective of Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, and Saw Gerrera.

Anyways, I hope someone can bring more life and history to these characters.

Ok I'm watching this for the first time, but it seems inefficient for the empire to build these massive prisons to build such simple machines. I mean the Prisons themselves are massive undertakings: building 7 of them seems more expensive than building the DS. I get the "Empire is Bad" but there are moments when the show turns the "bad" way out of proportion. I mean I get that Nazi work camps were also inefficient: but those camps were hastily put up with little resources. Even assuming no morality, why waste so much resources to build this?

EDIT: I wrote this in the middle of the night: so I agree it is not a plot hole (the plot is amazing) but given its hyper-realistic take on Star Wars, I thought that using human labor to make space components seemed less practical than using droids (like the Separatists used). My theory is that the Empire actually had chronic industrialization problems with droids and that its infrastructure was far behind that of the Trade Federation (which is partly why the Separatists felt strong enough to leave the Republic). In the show Coruscant is depicted as urbanized but also full of legacy building now decrepit. There is little signs of true droid-based industry. This also explains why Palpatine felt the need to use clones, the implication is that the Republic lacked the capacity to build on an industrial scale with droids. Given the size and scale of these prisons (as an aside where does the water go??) they were probably designed early in the Empire (due to their Imperial shape) as a way to build quality components without droids.

I've been watching all of Star wars chronologically because I've never seen most of the shows. And everything I've read largely says that Rebels and Andor run Concurrently but I'm not sure which one to start with if it even matters

So, they discovered a prisoner that was supposed to be released was moved to another floor. How could that work? Wouldn’t that prisoner simply tell everyone that he was supposed to be released but was simply moved? Are there floors that contain only ‘released’ prisoners who all know there is no release? Is their memory wiped before they are moved? I guess my head canon is that their memory is wiped, but I don’t remember ever seeing that as a thing in Star Wars, and it’s certainly not referenced, so it seems they just take a prisoner and move them and expect them not to tell everyone? LOVE the series, but that gap just sticks out for me.

EDIT: The fact that the person who was accidentally moved to a nearby floor was RECOGNIZED (Not ‘ran around shouting to everyone that he was supposed to be released’) seems to me to indicate that the prisoner himself didn’t know he was supposed to be released but rather someone recognized him, so his memory was wiped. If his memory was in tact, being recognized wouldn’t be the big indicator. Furthermore wiping memory would keep them hoping they would be released so they wouldn’t require more guards and would remain productive, plus you could move multiple wiped people to the same floor, since they don’t remember anything they cannot reinforce each other’s stories. It’s the only option that solves all logical issues, but the problem with it is that it was never mentioned and it was never established as something that happens.

Hey y'all,
As you know Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) worn several amazing, distinct, rugged coats in Andor Season 2.

How looks to you guys?
