Cassian could also be in Imperial supermax, however at the least we get a long-awaited character cameo in episode 8 of Andor.
The plot is progressing proper together with episode 8 of Andor, and it’s getting worse and worse for everyone. Well, it’s getting worse for the insurgent characters, the Imperials are making some fairly first rate strides in the entire imposing fascism factor. Managing to be a bummer of an episode whereas remaining participating and entertaining, episode 8 has a number of key nods to locations across the galaxy that we could need to regulate.
Andy Serkis
This week Cassian goes to a galactic super-max labor jail to serve out his sentence for… let me test my notes… visiting the area Jersey Shore. As he’s keen to inform anyone, he was only a vacationer within the fallacious spot on the fallacious time, however he shortly provides up as soon as he’s really on Narkina 5. The floating fortress homes 1000’s of different prisoners competing to construct as many ship elements as doable with the very best rating desk incomes the privilege to eat meals with taste and the bottom being electrocuted. It’s a reasonably bleak scenario.
Here we meet Kino Loy, one other prisoner with fewer than 300 days left on his sentence who acts because the supervisor of Cassian’s work unit. If Kino seems to be or sounds acquainted, it’s as a result of that’s Any Serkis and also you’ve seen him in a ton of different films and exhibits from Lord of the Rings (Gollum) to Planet of the Apes (Caesar) to Avengers: Age of Ultron (Ulysses Klaue). But Star Wars followers could do not forget that he performed Supreme Leader Snoke within the sequel trilogy. There’s already hypothesis of a Kino-becomes-Snoke deep conspiracy dive. But I’m fairly positive Serkis may simply be a superb actor who’s excellent for taking part in characters you must dislike at the least slightly.
Tunqstoid Steel
On its personal, the road concerning the flooring being made from Tunqstoid metal gave the impression of good sci-ish-fi. Most of the metals in Star Wars are made, and this explicit steel comes from the Expanded Universe in Troy Denning’s novel Fate of the Jedi: Abyss. We solely know a number of issues about Tunqstoid metal, however it looks as if it could be the right factor to construct your torture-slash-work jail out of. We know that it’s a really robust steel that blast doorways are generally constructed from and might be stated to discourage even Jedi. And because of this episode we additionally know that Tunqstoid metal is a robust conductor. They’ve already laid out how they make the most of the conductive points of the in episode 8, so maybe we’ll get a have a look at the steel’s toughness in a future jailbreak episode.
Saw Gerrera
Andor has been so good about maintaining the Easter Eggs delicate, the cameos to a minimal, and each of the significant, that it was thrilling to lastly get our second massive character look – the primary being Mon Mothma. Saw Gerrera was again this week when Luthen tried to do some enterprise with the guy insurgent chief. Luthen is prepared to offer Saw the important thing to stolen imperial expertise in change for assembly with Anto Kreegyr. Saw is aware of of Kreegyr, doesn’t like him, and refuses, flat out. So far we don’t know something in any respect about Kreegyr, however we count on to know extra about this character by the top of the collection.
Saw, nonetheless, is an enormous title in Star Wars historical past. Getting concerned with anti-separatist and anti-imperial actions at a younger age, he’s been a insurgent since nicely earlier than the rise up formally fashioned. And he doesn’t have a number of curiosity in taking part in ball with them when his personal guerilla techniques are getting the job performed. Saw additionally made an look in Rogue One and was one of many main father or mother figures in Jyn Erso‘s life.
