Cyril Karn needs a new job. After Ferrix’s humiliation and being sucked into the machinery of the Empire, his place is left undecided. This is how he understands the established, tyrannical and undeniable power that rules the galaxy. Andoravailable on Disney+, begins its seventh episode with a glimpse into the realm of the common people under a repressive regime.
The news of the robbery in Aldhani was not something petty or short-sighted. A blow to the hand is clearly an effective defense system. Cyril listens to the news standing, stunned. His figure is that of a man and a woman who see that a sign is hiding behind a seemingly isolated incident. An obvious scheme of subversion.
Again, Andor plays effectively to form a deep understanding of the power behind closed doors. He does this by showing how the Empire reacts to the violent events that victims leave behind, and more importantly by showing its cracks. “If they think we’re not ready, they’re wrong,” says the new chief. The camera slowly shows the implacable and pure fury of the bureaucrats responsible for keeping the insatiable monster of repression. White uniforms, untouched walls of places where the most important decisions are made.
“That’s why we work so hard,” the official continues. “That’s why we prepare so much in peacetime,” he insists. “To Counterattack”. Dedra Miron, the only one who foresaw and could understand the slow synchronization of the opposition with the government, listens silently. Major announces taxes, renewed repressions, increased surveillance. A subtle revenge on all those who supported or possibly covered up the attack on the outpost. “Subversion is controlled by those around it,” the official finally says. “Let fear be everything, and in the end, the pressure will be unbearable.”
Andor is a new phenomenon in the Star Wars universe and is available exclusively on Disney+
Andortimes of fear and pain in a galaxy far, far away
Andor he was distinguished by the fact that he spoke in detail about major events. This first excursion into the Empire’s reaction to the coup that undermined its false sense of security is cleverly portrayed. Especially when it is clear that the perception of time is relevant. Robbery of the Empire is more than just a crime. A sign of weakness. Also, as the sixth episode showed, a message to all who support secession. Something is going on under the quiet cover of totalitarian control.
At the same time, the actions of the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) are reported for the first time, which significantly changes the scenario. In addition, special measures that include the application of the directive on the revision of the sentence for public order. Nothing has changed since the robbery in which the officials were killed. An organized, well-planned coup that clearly shows that power is not indisputable.
The Emperor now knows that there is more than isolated attacks going on, so he requests a meeting with the Senate. Measurements, action. The situation involving Andor Cassian and the rebel group accompanying him was a warning. A real look at what is happening in the cities, planets and regions of the vast imperial territory.
But the only one who really understands this is Dedra Miron, who is well aware that this is not only a robbery, but also “advertising”. one that emphasizes hostility towards the regime may become more obvious, sharp and dangerous in Andor. Now he has money and funds to subsidize his activities. Mutiny has just taken a step towards becoming something more than chaotic action cells.
fear is everywhere
seventh chapter Andor shows strength in its entirety and, at the same time, its weakness. His lack of attention, understanding and especially his extreme arrogance. In his mouth are those who resist with all their might to maneuver under his watchful eye.
In the midst of an emergency, Senator Mon Mothma manages to reunite with Rael. Between the appearance of a simple and tense conversation, they discuss the essence of what happened with the robbery in Aldhani. His true size. “The danger lurks, and now it is more serious than ever”she says furiously. “I told you, there is no turning back,” the faceless rebel makes clear, the one who is entangled in the same threads of power. “You know what you did? Palpatine won’t hold back anymore,” insists Mothma. “That’s exactly what we need,” Rael explains. a sign of a crack in control.”
At the end, the senator sums up the dilemma. “There will be people who will suffer,” he says. Rael nods, serious and aware of the risk they’re taking. “We can’t always run away,” he concludes as he watches her walk away, once again parodying normalcy as a mask. “The moment has come.”
All details are in place Andor
Andor, this time showing Coruscant in all its rare splendor. For the first time in Star Wars, the capital of the Empire is much more than just a picturesque or dangerous place. It is the city that hosts Cyril to start a new life, or a mysterious figure who goes in search of information. The script’s attention to detail allows the landscape to stretch out, become sleeker, slimmer, and thoughtful.. Slow connection between ordinary life and total power.
Still Andor Depends on your contrasts. If Chapter 6 was an exploration of rebellious risk, this time it focuses on what lies behind luxury and seeming calm. Even Vel, aside from her invisible role as rebel leader, is just another citizen walking the streets. “We’ve already paid more than enough,” he says, standing unrecognizably in the splendor of the city. “But now things are moving in the right direction.”
However, there is still a loose end. “Cassian Andor Must Die”, is an order that Vel receives and must carry out. Now the mercenary finds himself between two waters, in two open and complex spaces. He is pursued by the Empire, as well as the Rebellion.
Unconsciously, Cassian returns to Ferrix and Maarva’s home, who welcome him with open arms. But even so, the reality is the same: the mercenary must run. Do it as quickly as possible and bypass the state of emergency when the Empire controls everything.

Again, Andor he jeopardizes his script on two fronts, on two extremes of pressure. At the center of both, Andor Cassian strides into the unknown and into the very center of the Empire’s only real obstacle to its plan for total control: the nameless people who oppose its many violent methods.
