Spoilers Andor - Season 2

Why do you hate Rebels so much? Do you just hate animation in general or is there something specific about it that sets you off?
I've been wondering if they have plans for Bix after Andor is over, and they did this to move her off the board and keep her safe until where she'll pop up next. Adria Arjona has talked in interviews about how much she loves playing Bix, so I'm wondering maybe she convinced the decision makers to leave Bix alive so she can keep playing the character after Andor is over.
Yeah, that seemed kind of odd since she's kind of been part of the rebellion going back to when Palpatine was still Chancellor.Also a tad unfair for Cassian to say "Welcome to the Rebellion" given Mon was technically a rebel long before he was!
And to go back to the Stormtrooper thing, one explanation for why they're such bad shots that I've always liked is that they're not actually meant to be competent soldiers, they're just there look intimidating and show up in big numbers. So they're basically just shoved in the armor, get a gun put in their hands and are then sent out to do whatever the Empire needs them to do. It also explains why they armor is so useless, which has always bothered me even more than their poor aim.
Mmm. Maybe, maybe not. He also knows how important Mon is to the cause, he wouldn't casually toss her away like so many others.
It's a cost/benefit thing. The better the armor, the more expensive. The Empire can't afford the best armor for all the troops.
But what they can afford is armor that forces enemies of the Empire to use weapons of a certain minimum caliber (i.e. of minimum energy or power discharge) to penetrate the armor. Notice that stealing weapons was important for the Ghorman rebels. Notice also that the weapons that Leia's crew used in the original film to repel boarders were not automatic weapons like what the stormtroopers had. They were single shot, at best semiautomatic, ultimately less effective than what the stormtroopers had.
That's my headcanon, and I'm sticking to it!
Oh please. I don't assume anything, I know that I am the main character around here.
Yeah, that got annoying quickly. I actually screamed "Just shoot her already" though that was at the point where Syril assaulted Cassian. As they fought, I just shrugged and said "or move on, that works too."
Hell, as recently as ten years ago I'd question the mental faculties of anyone who told me Mon Mothma was on her way to becoming one of the franchise's most compelling characters.
In fairness, one failed attempt to shoot Dedra, and Andor's never getting another. Most of the times Andor had Dedra in his scope, she was behind the glass right? They established that he would perhaps need two shots to penetrate the glass. So, she had to be standing still, and he had to be lined up really well for a double tap.
Meh, having him look at her through the scope as often as they did was still annoying.
Kay, Annie.
Someone has the high ground in this scenario.
OK, that does make sense.It's a cost/benefit thing. The better the armor, the more expensive. The Empire can't afford the best armor for all the troops.

I wasn't really bothered by it, I've been plenty of scenes like that in other stuff.
Tonight I learned that Duncan Pow (Melshi) once worked on British home shopping television.
That man can sell anything, whether a talking doll or freedom!!

I guess that means, it's not me!

The article says that it's with Diego Luna and Tony Gilroy with the rest of the cast being "special guests", but I'm not exactly sure what all of that means.

The "six years old" line rang false to me when I first saw Rogue One and even more now that we actually know just about everything about Cassian's upbringing. Whatevs.
Same with Dedra being raised in an "Imperial kinderblock" when she's too old to have been a child during basically any part of the Imperial era unless her Republic kinderblock switched to being an Imperial one just before she hit her 18th birthday (and she's a fair bit younger than the actress that plays her.)
