Disney+’s 'Andor' is perfectly laid out in a way that Star Wars has never really been able to accomplish before. It's definitely a SEE for us. Read alanimv's review:

. It’s what won Cassian Andor , Jyn Erso , and the rest of that film’s squad the blueprints to the Death Star, turning the tides of war and essentially leading to the Empire's destruction.

Thus, “try” is the perfect ending to a manifesto for a movement that is a grassroots effort at its core.isn’t known as one of the best Star Wars films for nothing; in just one film, fans became invested in these characters who were meant to die by the time the credits rolled. Tony Gilroy, who wrote both the 2016 film and’s first season strong throughout.

Throughout the course of Season 1’s 12 episodes, Cassian’s worldview and motives shift, leading to the rebellion-leading hero we recognize from. Of course, there’s one more season and four more years in the timeline between the two Cassians, but Season 2 did a fantastic job of laying that groundwork and really showing a visible shift in his character arc.

“We were sleeping. I've been sleeping. I’ve been turning away from the truth I’m wanting not to face,” Maarva says to the locals in attendance at her funeral. She knows they’ll live on, but she wants them to wake up and see the “wound at the center of the galaxy”—the “disease” that is the Galactic Empire that “thrives in darkness” when no one is pushing back on their total control.

Despite his adoptive parents’ ideals, Cassian isn’t fully radicalized to the point of action until this final episode. Season 1 did put Andor through the wringer: The ISB began surveilling Cassian because he killed two of their men; he was bribed to be a part of a major rebel heist that made it harder for people living under Empire rule; he was imprisoned for virtually nothing, thanks to this crackdown, and put in a hard-labor prison.
