Spoilers Andor season one

Vader is probably busy on Mustafar going over reports to see if he is needed in the ongoing investigation of a Jedi going by the name Kanan Jarrus and his assumed apprentice going by the name Jabba.

Oh yea, literally, Vader right now is sending out the Inquisitors to look for children the force has grown to be new threats at this time. Him and Tarkin are mucking about the mid-outer rim.

If you google Andor easter eggs you'll see there have been plenty of articles talking about the show's so-called easter eggs.
Yeah, but none of those were because of him. A majority of them are from the story group (in the case of props) or the other writers that know their lore.

He personally didn't put any easter eggs in the show. He didn't even know some of the props in Luthern's shop were easter eggs.
 
This story is literally about key figures in the Rebellion that toppled the Empire. I think the maniacal killers running said Empire do naturally fit in there well enough. This isn't a tale about organized crime or a missing ship or a family torn apart by a vengeful droid. The closer we get toward the end of the story, the more nimble the writers will have to be not to include Vader and/or other familiar characters. As I said, I'm not opposed to that either. But some of the "rancorous" stuff said on here is rather daft. All just depends on what approach they'll take next season and we'll all just have to wait and see to find that out.
At this point the Rebellion isn't even a unified Rebellion yet, it's just a bunch losely aligned cells giving the Empire the occasional papercut, the characters we're following aren't even close to being a threat that would come to Vader's attention.
Antony Starr as Homelander from the "Boys." But Skarsgaard does deserve a nomination.:)
Agreed.

They could always go with Best Actor for Starr and Best Supporting Actor for Skarsgaard.
Really?:wtf: I don't see how. I didn't find it that mind blowing nor at the same level of Luke Skywalker discovering the true identity of his father.
Not in terms of being a mind blowing twist, just in terms of it being a powerful, memorable moment.
Yes, people appointed/selected to do so. Not actors voting for actors. Which is what I meant.
What about the SAGs?

That’s what next season if for. Also, you don’t wait for it to become an existential threat before you start paying attention to it. Before the damage it does warrants direct involvement and action.
 
The Rebellions are starting to become a problem. Thus ,the ISB being given more power and punishments being multiplied for even minor offenses in the aftermath of the heist. I imagine the prison break will cause some other sort of major crackdown that will cause even more systems to rebel. Meanwhile, in the Outer Rim, another cell of Rebels in known to be aided by a Jedi. The Grand Inquisitor is presently investigating near Lothal. That cell's activities will warrant the Outer Rim's Grand Moff, Tarkin, to take personal interest in the matter, before calling in Darth Vader.

Other groups in the region are using handfuls of Corellian Corvettes (CR90s mostly) and R-22 A-wings to pester the Empire. These may have been paid for by Luthan's heist, or Mon Mothma's funds, or perhaps that was all on Bail Organa. Within a few years, a few groups will have larger capital ships like Nebulon-B frigates, and Mon Calamari cruisers. That will be when Mon Mothma's fall for a general rebellion will form the Alliance to Restore the Republic. That I expect to see in Season Two of Andor. Its blatantly too important to skip given the subject matter of the show.
 
And Enfys Nest and her Cloud Riders began raiding Imperial coaxium shipments as early as 10 BBY and used the money from those raids and capers to fund the nascent stages of a Rebel uprising against Imperial rule. Well before the Aldhani attack there must have been officers in the ISB who suspected something bigger was brewing and growing but just didn't put two and two together for another five years.
 
In addition to Enfys Nest, there was also The Path that was disrupted by Darth Vader and the Inquisitors during the hunt for Kenobi. But an untold number Jedi got out and the Path may also start its own Rebel cell in the aftermath. I suspect Bail Organa will be involved with that one.

He personally didn't put any easter eggs in the show. He didn't even know some of the props in Luthern's shop were easter eggs.

He said the art department was responsible for those antique shop easter eggs and that he consulted with Hildago on the brief verbal references to old bits of lore.
 
Gilroy had no intention of planting easter eggs in the story, he wanted a good story first. Stuff like the Naboo helmet and such are little nods to the existing world without drawing undue attention. Blaster props and computer consoles patterned after the OT can also be considered easter eggs, it's meant to demonstrate it's the same world but not having the same design wouldn't hurt the show.

Saw Garrera played an important part in the early rebellion before breaking away, therefore he would not be considered a cameo or easter egg but an important part of the ongoing story. His presence fits the story (and his acting is freaking insane). Same for Mon Mothma.

Agree with all of this, but having the designs match the established aesthetic (like computer panels) is in no way an "easter egg", that's just care and consistency.

There was plenty of room for creative interpretation, being that the sets in question had little resembling standard imperial aesthetic. If the action was showing the interior of imperial cruisers then yes, I'd expect all the interiors to closely match the OT aesthetic.

Sorry, what's your point?

So Luthen is the best character on the show. Just wow. He could have exited when he took the tractor beam down, but decided to take out some Imperials for the fun of it. Epic. The rest of the show was ok, just more forwarding of everyones story, but that space battle was glorious
 
We still have one episode to go this season. So far this show has an 11-0 record for solid episodes. Can't say any of the others have been that consistent, not even The Mandalorian.
 
Well that episode was deeply upsetting on a number of levels. I think this is the first time that a droid has really been treated like a person to the point of exhibiting signs of depression, grief, and even denial.

Other groups in the region are using handfuls of Corellian Corvettes (CR90s mostly) and R-22 A-wings to pester the Empire. These may have been paid for by Luthan's heist, or Mon Mothma's funds, or perhaps that was all on Bail Organa.

General rule of thumb: if's it's Corellian Corvettes & A-Wings, it's most likely one of Bail's cells (Alderaan mysteriously had an unfortunate string of "thefts" of those ships while running mercy missions.) The Nebulon B Frigates seem to have mostly come from Dodonna's group, though we still don't quite know the backstory there. The Mon Cala ships are of course brought it by Akbar's cell.

Curiously the show isn't bringing Bail into this at all, so I rather suspect Luthen doesn't know about him (yet.)
fter all, he has Ahsoka running his intelligence network which seems to be running parallel to Luthen's, and Bail has every reason to keep himself very much insulated, even from the likes of Mon Mothma. I'd always assumed that Bail had been Mon's silent partner in all this, but if that were the case then it'd be him she'd turn to to fix her books, not some shady Chandrillan moneylender. At this point I kinda suspect that Bail may be the one to come to Mon's rescue and bring her over to his little side of the rebellion when Luthen goes down (because of course he will.)

And Enfys Nest and her Cloud Riders began raiding Imperial coaxium shipments as early as 10 BBY and used the money from those raids and capers to fund the nascent stages of a Rebel uprising against Imperial rule. Well before the Aldhani attack there must have been officers in the ISB who suspected something bigger was brewing and growing but just didn't put two and two together for another five years.
It's a big galaxy and a big Empire with a big-big bureaucracy and lots and lots of HUGE egos. It's not surprising the scale and scope of the rebellion went vastly underestimated (and likely under-reported) for almost two decades.

That said, we still don't know how (or even if) Enfys Nest and the Cloud Riders figure in all of this, only that at least one of her people wound up in Saw's partisans. Most likely they're just another isolated cell, who may or may not have survived in some form long enough to eventually link up with the Alliance.
In addition to Enfys Nest, there was also The Path that was disrupted by Darth Vader and the Inquisitors during the hunt for Kenobi. But an untold number Jedi got out and the Path may also start its own Rebel cell in the aftermath. I suspect Bail Organa will be involved with that one.
I doubt the rebellion has anything to do with The Path given the events of Kenobi. Most likely it's it's own separate thing. If there's any connection to known characters (not counting Vos) the more likely candidate would either be Ahsoka running it separate from her role as Fulcrum, and/or Cere & Cal.
