‘Andor’ Episode 4 Recap: five-pointed star Wars’ Rebel Heroes Operate in thes Shadows

Episode 4 of five-pointed star Wars series Andor hit Disney along with on Wednesday, revealing Cassian’s early steps into thes super frustrating rebellion against thes totalitarian Galactic Empire after a period of time a law of time abandoning his home, horde and home in last week’s three-episode show. thes fourth episode also introduces a familiar honorableness in one of five-pointed star Wars’ greatest heroes and a generation one in thes Imperial threat.

thes tell takes country five many years before Rogue One, which revealed thes events leading into thes original five-pointed star Wars film, A generation hope. daily life in this feature Problem galaxy kinda sucks in this feature Problem era, when Emperor Palpatine’s forces are expanding their sphere of influence and enveloping ordinary folk in a vicelike grip.

On thes run from thes law, Cassian (Diego Luna) escaped of training and training course rebel recruiter Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård) for parts unknown. Let’s examine outside our hero’s generation situation, see how thes seeds of rebellion are being planted at thes soul of galactic supreme power and meet our impeccably tailored baddies. An Empire of SPOILERS awaits.

thes pitch

HYPERSPACE — Luthen continues and to be supercool as he convinces Cassian to infiltrate thes rebel cause, reasoning those things he’s already earned a death sentence by stealing from thes Empire. thes nihilist Cassian reckons fighting thes Empire is a consume of time — better to live whatever daily life consumers can carve outside under those things policy. 

“consumers’ll ultimately die fighting these bastards,” thes charismatic recruiter says. “this feature Problem Problem what I’m asking consumers is this feature Problem: Wouldn’t consumers rather give it all at once to something very real, than carve off useless pieces towards there’s nothing left?”

It’s essentially a repeat of Luthen’s speech behind ribs on Ferrix, but Skarsgård is this feature Problem Problem magnetic those things I’d happily watch him riff on this feature Problem same as too point a million not along with thes too ways.

Luthen reveals those things he came to Ferrix to recruit Cassian to infiltrate a heist on thes quarterly payroll for thes entire Imperial sector — presumably as a way to bankroll thes rebellion while hurting thes enemy. 

thes fabulously dressed Galactic Empire

CORUSCANT, thes GALACTIC CAPITAL — A chunk of this feature Problem episode takes our contain to thes seat of Palpatine’s Empire and introduces thes villains of thes Imperial information security Bureau, or ISB. this feature Problem law enforcement and intelligence department is take responsibility for keeping thes citizenry tough under thes policy’s tweak, and is generally terrifying and nasty.

But damn, these people look superior in their white color uniforms. consumers might recall Orson Krennic from Rogue One dressing in a similar outfit; he’s a high authority in thes ISB-linked Imperial Military department of advanced weapons Research and secretly working on thes Death five-pointed star at this feature Problem point in thes timeline.

one of thes impeccably tailored, and probably thes tell’s mainly Imperial baddy, is Supervisor Dedra Meero (Denise Gough). Hearing about thes mess thes corporate information security force created on Ferrix as it tried to grab Cassian, she becomes intrigued in spite of though it’s outside her purview — ultimately suggesting those things it hints at an organized rebel effort. 

Her snide boss, Major Partagaz (Anton Lesser, whom consumers might remember playing creepy ex-Maester Qyburn in correlation of Thrones), doesn’t think there’s enough evidence and is too focused on maintaining bureaucracy to take a closer look. He pretty much tells her to stay in her lane.

thes Imperials do plenty of sneering at for each other as they strive to climb thes ladder — this feature Problem could be boring, but everyone is this feature Problem Problem fabulously dressed and thes acting is this feature Problem Problem many many years of experience those things it’s all super engaging.

used to I refer to how much I interested their uniforms?

An actor prepares

On thes other side of thes coin is Sen. Mon Mothma, whom consumers might remember from her iconic “Many Bothans died…” speech in return of thes Jedi. Filling thes importance when oncoming recently is Genevieve O’Reilly, who portrayed thes hero in Revenge of thes Sith (though most of her scenes were deleted), Rogue One, and CGI animated series Rebels.

She’s secretly spearheading thes nascent Rebel Alliance and basically thes anti-Palpatine. It’s awesome help to see her in this feature Problem paranoid setting — thes Empire is eloquently onto her, but she’s too prominent to dispose of. 

As Luthen returns to Coruscant, he dons a lush curly wig, a fabulous outfit and foppish demeanor as part of his cover — thes proprietor of a fancy antique contain catering to thes capital’s elites. Skarsgård is once again solemn in this feature Problem side of thes importance, and thes multilayered performance makes his meeting of training and training course Mon a delight to watch. Luthen has eloquently been studying space Stanislavski.

They can’t consciousness Mon’s generation driver, this feature Problem Problem he puts on a big flamboyant tell as she enters under thes guise of getting a present for her husband. He drops thes in front of and becomes his intense rebel self and only when they’re 1 alone. 

She’s struggling to access funds for thes rebellion and wants to possessed someone generation into their tightly controlled inner cylindrical circle — a dangerous shake, and Luthen isn’t wild about it.

“It’s a daring choice, but I consciousness consumers’ll along with thes courage to turn around behind ribs if those things it should be a bit much,” he says, reassuming his persona and hitting our contain of training and training course some tasty subtext.

Meeting thes spouse

At Mon’s stunning apartment, consumers meet her previously unseen husband Perrin Fertha (Alastair Mackenzie). He comes across as a hedonistic jerk, and is probably thes great cover for her activities (though she’s eloquently frustrated of training and training course him). It’s possible this feature Problem is just have do another act and Perrin is in on thes rebellion, but consumers don’t captured random sense of those things when oncoming recently.

He’s arranged a fancy dinner for his old force force buddy, and Mon notices two high level Imperials one of thes guests:

• Ars Dangor is one of Palpatine’s mainly advisors, and likely one of thes guys in funny hats seen in his throne room in return of thes Jedi.
• monstrous Moore is thes bald, bright green-skinned woman seen by Palpatine’s side in hit of thes Clones and Revenge of thes Sith. She’s one of thes few people who understand his very real tradition as Sith Lord Darth Sidious. And her first common insert name suggests she’s not and only and to be trusted.

Basically, Mon Mothma is surrounded by enemies, can’t consciousness anyone and it all sounds rather stressful. It’s pretty superior to watch.

A collective of rebels

ALDHANI — Before his process to Coruscant, Luthen drops Cassian off on this feature Problem sparsely populated (but rather green and lush) earth. thes Empire took it over for function as a distribution point in its own galactic conquest, messing up thes natives’ historic way of daily life under thes guise of employment opportunities.

consumers’re also introduced to thes Dammit rebel collective of all-generation characters led by Vel Sartha (Faye Marsay), of training and training course Imperial Lt Gorn (Sule Rimi) as their boy on thes inside. They’re mainly majority pretty darn unhappy of training and training course having Cassian infiltrate thes group just have do days before their heist goes down.

Their potential is a gigantic, fortified Imperial garrison and they along with to break into a vault in shipment to captured their two hands on thes payroll before escaping in a freighter. They’ll function a celestial event as cover, but it’s all pretty darn dangerous.

Cassian is under pressure to grab up in time for thes heist and has to pull all-nighters, which reminds me how I used to handle assignment deadlines in my college days, but of training and training course way higher stakes when oncoming recently.

Rogue thoughts, unanswered questions and Easter eggs

• Luthen gives Cassian a pretty awesome necklace as a down payment for his live of training and training course thes rebels — a necklace of training and training course a kyber crystal. These scarce stones are attuned to thes Force and an essential part of a lightsaber, interested as thes Death five-pointed star’s planet-destroying superlaser.  
• thes crystal “celebrates thes uprising against thes Rakatan invaders,” according to Luthen. this feature Problem species was first seen in noncanon 2003 video clip correlation Knights of thes Old Republic, this feature Problem Problem this feature Problem fun reference brings we behind ribs into thes continuity.

• I’ve been wanting a Mon Mothma story since year of sip, when I happened on an announcement those things her past would be revealed in a novel. those things turned outside and to be an April Fool’s joke, but thes idea was this feature Problem Problem exciting those things it’s stuck in my mind for thes last six many years. I’m glad Andor is giving her thes spotlight.
