- TriviaThe TIE Fighter pilots are wearing gray flight suits rather than the black ones they wear in the original trilogy. This is consistent with their look in Star Wars: Rebels (2014), which takes place at the same time as this series.
- GoofsColonel Petigar has the wrong rank bar on his uniform. Five gold and one red signifies the rank of Major General. A Colonel would have three red and three blue.
- Quotes
Karis Nemik: I'm struggling to understand why my faith doesn't calm me. I believe in something. Why am I so unsettled? I mean you have nothing, you sleep like a stone. I write when I can't sleep. Wrote about you last night. Not you specifically, not "Clem." Although I'm assuming that's not your real name, anyway. "The Role of Mercenaries in the Galactic Struggle for Freedom." My conclusion is simple. Weapons are tools. Those that use them are, by extension, functional assets that we must use to our best advantage. The Empire has no moral boundaries, why should we not take hold of every chance we can? Let them see how an insurgency adapts.
Cassian Andor: [sighs] Well, you're half right. The Empire doesn't play by the rules.
Karis Nemik: And how am I wrong?
Cassian Andor: They don't care enough to learn. They don't have to. You mean nothing to them.
Karis Nemik: Perhaps they'll think differently tomorrow.
Cassian Andor: Be careful what you wish for.
Karis Nemik: So you think it's hopeless, do you? Freedom? Independence? Justice? We should just submit and be thankful? Just take what we're given?
Cassian Andor: [Inhales deeply, leans toward Nemik and glares] Do I look thankful to you?
This is a strong action thriller with plenty of tension and exciting spectacle.
There is little about the plot I can say without spoiling, except that the mission sequence unfolds very well with good suspense, visuals and performances.
There are also some good character moments in the aftermath and it keeps certain characters interesting and the intrigue high about what comes next.
One scene involving imperial officers discussing the Aldhani people is slightly moustache twirly and a bit heavy on the exposition, but apart from this everything flows very well.
Visually the episode is superb, with lots of moments that should entertain Star Wars fans that do not feel like pure fan service, particularly the relevant use of TIE Fighters and the scenes in the Imperial Senate. The music enhances everything.
