Is the device Saw wants them to use purposely over-complicated or is there some reason I missed, like what are the configurations for?

There’s a little more about the device (and the highly volatile fuel ‘rhydonium’) here, mate:-

www.gamesradar.com/entertainment/star-wars-tv-shows/what-are-saw-and-wilmon-using-in-andor-season-2-rhydonium-in-star-wars-explained

& www.slashfilm.com/1844788/andor-season-2-starship-fuel-rhydonium-explained

 
I took it as the device being an old, complex and dangerous way of allowing fuel for engines or machinery to be used in certain areas and environments of the galaxy. Differing planets or systems requiring differing mixes or combinations / configurations of fuel purities to work… or for it not become unstable… and then exploding (which is why the other engineer claimed it would be a lot easier if they knew where they were going - as it would mean far fewer configurations to remember / less chance of making a mistake and blowing up).

Though I’m probably wrong on that.

Thanks for the share of the PAL UK SW and Empire Strikes Back 1997. from Lee Thorogood. It’s too bad Jedi never turned up.

No worries, mate. It was some top detective work from SnooPac that found them - though unfortunately ROTJ wasn’t quite complete. ROTJ will likely turn up in time - or someone on here remembers they have a working copy etc (and we’ve also sent out some requests and queries to a few people who may still have them).

Hopefully someone still has his 1995 THX LD projects for the OT as well. 👍

I’m also looking for Arnie.d’s laserdisc projects; X9 Project, French Coffret Trilogie, DC/Faces audio + 2004 Hybrid, Star Wars V8.

A few more ‘older-format’ projects for the Original Trilogy should also be added in the next few weeks.

Man, I love this guy. I have immense admiration for him: he not only grasps the depth of his universe and breathes life into his storytelling, but also embodies the art of filmmaking — seamlessly fusing these three pillars into a truly fulfilling experience for everyone involved and for the audience.

I’m not going to find myself interested in anything Star Wars-related for a long time after this (i saw the upcoming projects recently and nearly fell asleep), but if this guy was to be hired for a Star Wars movie set between ROTJ and TFA or something… i’d buy popcorn 4 years in advance. Or, when I think about it, maybe not 4 years with Disney’s history of firing directors. Heuheu.

Same here - I’d very much love to see more of this quality, consideration, and ‘high-bar’ execution in other Star Wars releases.

^ That time of week has nearly come around here already; it seems to have flown by - the overwhelmingly positive feedback (and reaction videos, reviews and interviews etc) on social media has been a joy to take in. A most refreshing and welcome change. 👍

Olympic gold medals are mainly made from silver…
 

'According to International Olympic Committee regulations, Olympic gold and silver medals must be made out of at least 92.5% silver, with gold medals plated with at least 6g of gold. Bronze medals are made mostly of copper.

Each medal must be at least 60mm diameter and 3mm thick, but each country’s organising committee is able to create their own bespoke design. They also feature a ribbon which is designed by the organising committee.’

Vladius said:

I thought everything was really tastefully done including the one scene with Bix, except for the over the top references to undocumented illegal alien farm workers. I get that that kind of thing could happen because the Empire is full of oppressive busybodies who love getting people in trouble for paperwork, but I think the implication that that’s an analogous situation to the US is kind of crass.

I don’t believe it is analogous situation just with the US - many of us in UK & Europe are well aware of what has been taking place in relation to long reliance of undocumented food workers (in the fields / and in restaurants / and in effect the larger ‘gig’ economy; that authorities have previously acknowledged and turned a blind eye to in the main - and yet also eager to clamp down on a whim). In the UK’s case, all the way back to Brexit and the resulting fallout from that. I can’t speak for other areas around the world - I don’t know enough about that; though I wouldn’t be surprised if people across the planet the planet… recognise what is going on in the farm field scenes… and correlate with their own similar issues in relation to the treatment of undocumented workers or refugees simply looking for safe shelter, work, and place to start a new life - and looking to integrate and contribute to that place.

Edit: Diego Luna (at SW•com) - 'As for some of the other characters audiences grew to love during Andor’s first season, Bix Caleen, Brasso, Wilmon Paak, and B2EMO made a new life for themselves and found a little happiness despite everything they endured at the hands of the Empire.

“These characters find a way to start all over again,” remarks Luna. “The Empire has taught these people to leave everything behind, and even through how painful that can be, it’s about sticking together, moving together, and making sure they take care of each other. I think this season is a lot about family, and what family means. We’re telling the story of a revolutionary, and to understand why he keeps going, why he keeps fighting, we have to understand what he loses on the way, on the journey.”

When the Empire closes in on his friends, the situation spirals out of control and Cassian suffers another major loss, affecting the future rebel leader. (And us.)

“Now he’s not just fighting for Maarva; he’s fighting for Brasso,” Luna says. “Behind every war, there’s loss. So, he’s going to fight until the end, because he has this responsibility to his family.”’

Andor filmed from November 2022 to February 2024 (with gaps for the strikes) - before the US election in November 2024; and the resulting the re-election of convicted felon and rapist ‘Orange Man’ who you refer to in a later post.

Now, if the actor who played the Imperial officer who attempted to rape Bix had weird combed-over ginger hair and couldn’t complete his dialogue without including outrageous falsehoods or trailing off into incoherence in an attempt to deflect away from answering questions or his actions… we all may have been having a different conversation. 👍
 

Credit to everyone involved in the handling of the scene with Bix; not just the tone, content and writing - but also the stunt-work, editing and both the actors. The actor/stuntman who played the Imperial officer really hit it out of the park in adding to the realism of the scene (plus him being dazed and concussed - losing control of his faculties and bouncing off the scenery like that really added to it). Adria Arjona was superb - which is no surprise given the quality of her performances throughout the show (like so many other top talents in this series).

I loved the 3 epidode opener of season 2 and I think this show is ,indeed , some of the best Star Wars anything . For the most part , grounded and realistic , reflective of our own world and thought provoking ,at times uncomfortable ,but I think that is by design . My first thoughts after watching were…Ho Lee Shit ! They saw our future ,especially seeing as prduction of this season began in November of 2022 !

Pretty much sums up my thoughts too, mate.

It is really pleasing to see so much positivity online for Andor (from both critics and fans alike - which makes for a refreshing change; especially on the social media platforms - and also even the algorithm-promoted ‘/attention/hate-for-clicks’ content).

At the end of the third episode I just wanted to watch the next batch of episodes straight away - and I haven’t said or felt like that about Star Wars material in a long time. Kudos to everyone involved in this carefully crafted and beautifully executed series - and I hope the rest of the season is just as good and as compelling. 👍

A word of praise on the humour in this so far: it isn’t out of place or ‘too much’… nor did it break the tone or impact of the scenes before, during, or after it (unlike many previous Star Wars has featured over the years - all the way back to the Prequels).

The second season began this week with the first three episodes.’
