STAR WARS De-Infantilized (It Works)

May the Fourth be with you! Thank you all for 2 million views! Also our new video is out!

Cassian getting arrested for something completely unrelated to any of his actual crimes was a great bit of storytelling as a way to show how pervasive and corrupt the Empire really is at a civilian level.

Me watching the bit about Dora: "well that's an odd angle, I guess..." Dora's map and the sith dagger juxtapose: "oooh daaaang!"

It’s a miracle that Andor exists, no idea how it got past those Disney executives

Very well done - You've described in a 30 minute video what I've spent hours trying to argue to friends and family every time Star Wars debates come up.

"Can you stand to see the Imperial flag reign across the galaxy?" "Its not a problem if you don't look up." I know its just star wars, but dang, that feels like something you'd hear people say during just about any oppressive regime or political thing. People just wanting to live their lives and be left alone. It's something we all feel. I haven't watched this show, but it really feels like the star wars that i've wanted them to make forever. I might just have to check it out.

I JUST realised the sound Tie fighters make is maybe DELIBERATELY terrifying to enemies, just like the STUKA dive bomber's sirens in WW2

Something weird hit me rewatching: The animated series "Star Wars The Clone Wars" feels more mature than the new series and movies. In tone and themes.

The Andor compilation at the end was SOOOOO good 🥹

Andor to me was everything I wanted to see in Star Wars for a long time. A darker tone, much more adult than what we've gotten from The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, Boba Fett and the Sequel Trilogy. Andor to me is a thinking person's Star Wars, the writers treating us like adults and given us a show written for an adult audience. No gimmicks, gags, cute little humor, etc. Just good writing, dialog and presentation.

"You put a number of options on the table; and they're so wrapped up in choosing, they don't even notice you didn't give them anything they actually wanted!" No truer words have ever been spoken.

Got goosebumps at that last montage. Excellent video, you've got a new subscriber. Damn, now i need to rewatch Andor again...

Andor is the greatest thing to happen to Star Wars. It truly made the rebellion real and understandable. It took away the whimsical nature and smacked us with the truth…and I absolutely love it.

The "Show me, don't tell me." is such an important concept. It is a lesson so many people miss. I think that is what made the Han shot first controversy such a big deal. Greedo shooting first puts Han in a self defense position. Han shooting first confirms his scoundrel character. He is a survivor and isn't above underhanded tricks. It speaks of his moral character and makes his transformation from being out for himself into the guy that saves Luke's bacon and says "You're all clear kid, now let's blow this thing and go home." Seeing the special edition confused me so much. As a kid I clearly remember seeing A New Hope in the theater, not sure what year, I was born in '74. I definitely saw it before Empire came out.

1- this song is incredible. 2- you were born to be an awesome content creator. I love how you’re willing to share this with us all.

This was a terrific piece of analysis and beautifully edited to strengthen your point. I love Andor despite it being part of the Star Wars universe and not because of it, but I could never quite articulate it as well as you have done here. Thank you!

I was late to Andor, I'd already written off Disney shows after Obi-Wan and Mando, and Book of Bubba Feet. Finally went back and watched it and was gobsmacked. This is what I'd been wanting from a Starwars show for ages. Hope they keep it running...

Luthen's monologue about sacrifice was superb. Gives me chills and puts a lump in my throat. And Stellan Skarsgärd was the perfect person to deliver it.

What a great video essay! Some of the finest and highest quality content i have seen in a while. Amazing work! You earned my subscription today.

Man, you‘re excellent! Not only is this applicable to Disney Star Wars but to the mass of newer movies. The quote “…the need to always hold your hand” describes it really well. I’ve always been frustrated to explain to people what i mean by that and you just gave words to it. Thank you thank you thank you! A hundred times
