The complete inability of any Star Wars media to veer from the centre means its “revolution” much more resembles the multi-polar fights for national sovereignty, which inevitably end in the financial backers and middle class elements betraying the rest so that they can be the new landlords of their freed land. By aping so many real world examples Andor has brief flashes of realism but its completely aesthetic and surface level.

Interesting that he actually used the term townland. Many people out in the country still use the names of townlands from generational memory, but apart from local historians I’ve never heard of anyone actually calling them townlands.

I have trouble paying attention to episodes after a big cliffhanger that dont address it at all. This was the first episode I skimmed through a bit just because I really wanted to see some of Marks reintegration before having to wait for another week. Also I think him and Helly having a relationship is the worst part of the show, it feels like something that’s only included because its expected to be there.
