Andor
monition ! This clause contains spoilers for Andor time of year 2 , instalment 10 - 12 .
Andorseason 2 , episodes 10 - 12 can not quite match the height of last week ’s installments , but they bring as a extremely satisfying conclusion to the show . In myreview forAndorseason 2 , instalment 7 - 9 , I remarked that the floor was the best inStar Wars’long chronicle . Based on the reaction to those episodes since they were released on Disney+ , it is secure to say many have hold with me , withAndorseason 2 , installment 9 ’s endingclosing out a perfect chapter for the show .
course , I was not carry it to be able to eclipse this beau ideal in its final episodes , and I ’ll admit I was correct in condition my first moment . Andorseason 2 ’s timelinemeans that episodes 10 - 12 are set a year after the Ghorman Massacre and Mon Mothma ’s relief valve from Coruscant , with Cassian , Luthen , and Kleya learn the final secret left to be outed before the events ofRogue One : the edifice of the Death Star . Despite not being as dead fantabulous as last week ’s episodes , the episodes work as a satisfying , activity - tamp , well - made conclusion to thebestStar WarsTV showever made .
Andor Season 2’s Final Arc Is Smaller Scale & Works Well Because Of It
The Final Three Episodes Are An Intermission Of Sorts (But A Great One)
While I was not expecting the same scale of galaxy - altering events from last calendar week , there ’s still some activeness in episodes 10 , 11 , or 12 , and they work more as a conclusion to the story and characters than as a big activeness blowout . I equate these three episodes to the time of year finales ofGame of Thrones , which often served as wrap - up and solidifying - up after the commonly massive installment of penultimate episodes .
In this signified , Andorseason 2 ’s final act procedure the same . The focus on a few smaller percolation and extraction military mission brings Mon ’s leak to bear in mind , but the big speeches , wartime scenario , riot , and massacres are mostly lacking . or else , the time of year 2 close addresses the last hanging threads before the known level ofRogue One , almost as an intermission between last hebdomad ’s climactic result and the 2016 plastic film ’s bombastic plot line . no matter of the more withdrawn chronicle matter , Andorseason 2 ’s final three episodes work .
Andor Season 2, Episodes 10-12 Flow Seamlessly Into Rogue One
Rogue One Is Andor Season 3
The last episodes are content to wrap up what is postulate beforeRogue One . After Bix ’s going last week , the only wanton threads now ( or fictional character we roll in the hay were not inRogue One ) included the supportingcast ofAndorseason 2 . The focus here is primarily range on Luthen and Kleya , with a few excellent , morally gray flashbacks show how the two fulfill . These flashback are intercut with Kleya ’s missionary work to get to Luthen , who is point in an ISB infirmary after being confronted by Dedra Meero and trying to die by felo-de-se to keep the Rebellion ’s secrets .
Luthen ’s injury come after he find out about the Death Star ’s building from his tangency , Lonnie Jung .
Kleya ’s missionary work is suitably tense and addresses why Luthen is not inRogue Oneafter the former tearfully ensure that the latter can not let out any secrets to the ISB . The mission then switches to Cassian , K-2SO , and Ruescott Melshi maneuver to Coruscant to extract Kleya . Here is where most of the action is found , with Cassian finding out about the Death Star and rush to get Kleya safely back to Yavin IV to tell the leaders ofStar Wars’Rebel Alliance .
This full story work perfectly to explainRogue One ’s story , down to Cassian ’s last scene involving him flying to the Ring of Kafrene , the seedy location where he pretend his introduction in the movie . The final two episodes ofAndorseason 2 also admit cameos from Admiral Raddus and Director Krennic , both teasing the conflict to come . When add in K-2 ’s involution , the instalment go as a overture toRogue One , solidify the arc ’s status as middling of a bridge deck between two majorStar Warsevents .
Andor Season 2’s Best Aspects Continue To Work
Cast, Writing & Morally Gray Politics
It seems almost redundant to extend gush aboutAndorseason 2 ’s performances , writing , and political geographic expedition after my previous three review of the show , but episodes 10 - 12 continue all three . Regarding the performances , Elizabeth Dilau is the standout here as Kleya . Kleya has always been a great character , but the insight into her backcloth , her family relationship with Luthen , the focal point on her deputation , and her sheer intensity in relaying info to the Rebellion marks these three episodes as the best she has ever been , with Dilau palm this all expertly .
Stellen Skarsgård jibe her as Luthen and , while the fabric he is given does not quite reach the heights of time of year 1 ’s monologue - heavy writing , the part gets a fitting send - off . Alan Tudyk also reelect as the vocalism of K-2SO and imbues the episodes with a heap of humour that he showcased inRogue One . Finally , I would be remiss not to mention Diego Luna as Cassian . The final scene with him argue against Rebel command are splendid and solidify him as one of the Disney earned run average ’s bestStar Warscharacters .
The committal to writing matches all of these performance , mostly , as does the exploration ofStar Warspolitics . take in how role like Dedra Meero , Luthen , Partagaz , Krennic , and others end up — or give way to end up — where they are inRogue Oneis perfect , blending the fledged geographic expedition that is so dissimilar from regularStar Warswith a fittingly , well , Star Warsstory . The final conniption is also a tear - yanker , endingAndorin the stark way and solidifying the show as the bar future dealership properties should try — yet likely fail — to eclipse .
