“Greatest Andor episode ever!” stated Dale Wilhoit, president of the long-dormant SWEATTOC (Star Wars Lovers Towards Taxation-Themed Opening Crawls), in a telephone interview with TVLine. “In any case these weeks of deftly exploring class solidarity, colonialism and the gradual however regular rise of fascism, wow, did you see how the Fondor’s laser factor sliced that TIE fighter in half? Sick.”
“I imply, this isn’t Discuss Wars, amirite?” Wilhoit added.
The Nov. 16 episode of Andor — as its title, “Daughter of Ferrix,” prompt — additionally revolved across the off-screen demise of Maarva Andor.

“It’s so nice to lastly get some rubbery aliens on this present,” wrote Pat Korliss on his Badass Insurgent Alien-ance weblog. “Like, what’s with all of the people? Max Rebo, child!”
So widespread was the passion for Episode 11 that by midday Wednesday, the hashtags “#MakeEp11TheFirstEpisodeAndIgnoreTheRest” and “ReleaseTheMoreLasersCut” have been each trending on Fact Social. (Many Bothans contributed to this report.)
All instructed, on this week’s episode…
CASSIAN and MELSHI dodged an nosy Imperial Reaper craft lengthy sufficient to scale a cliff and get eyes on a attainable means off Narkina, although once they boldly dashed for a close-by quadjumper, the aforementioned Narkinians sprung a gooey web that trapped the lads. However after a quick scare (together with speak of them being bought/traded for credit), Cass satisfied the Narkinians to provide them a experience to Niamos. As soon as again on the seaside resort, Cass retrieved the lockbox he had stowed above the bathe. Afterward, he fastidiously radioed his ticket sales space buddy on Ferrix to get an replace to Maarva… solely to study that his mom had handed away.
DEDRA, too, acquired phrase that Cassian Andor’s mom had died, so she instructed the Ferrix troops to permit a correct funeral, in hopes that Cassian would possibly attempt to attend. Equally, VEL boldly confronted KLEYA on the gallery, to ask about Luthen’s whereabouts and to report through CINTA that Cassian Andor’s mom had died, so she was heading again to Ferrix to tie up that free finish. SYRIL, too, (barely) realized about Maarva, from good ol’ Sgt. Mosk, who nonetheless has his ear to the bottom on Morlana One.
Elsewhere on Ferrix, BIX appeared merely terrible — exhausted, harrowed, shaken — after her torture by the hands of Dr. Gorst. As such, when requested whether or not Anto Kreegyr was her “purchaser,” she couldn’t even reply.
The precise LUTHEN flew off to satisfy up with SAW GERRERA and rebuff his provide to affix Kreegyr’s raid on the Spellhaus energy station. When Luthen confided that Spellhaus was a lure that he wanted to let occur, else his ISB supply get burned, Noticed acquired every kind of paranoid, questioning if Luthen himself was ISB. Luthen proved himself by holding a gun to Noticed’s head and doing nothing, and arguing that if he was ISB, he’d have let Noticed and his males additionally get killed within the Spellhaus bloodbath.
On his means again, Luthen drew the eye of an Imperial Arrestor Cruiser, which he tried to trow off his scent with a bogus transponder code. When the cruiser locked its tractor beam on the Fondor, Luthen and his on-board droid launched metallic countermeasures that shredded the tractor beam dish. Then, after going to battle with a handful of TIE fighters that had been deployed — slicing up the final two with static laser beams that emitted from his wings — Luthen threw the Fondor into hyperdrive, irking the cruiser’s captain.
Lastly, after her unorthodox assignation with Kleya, Vel paid cousin MON MOTHMA a go to, the place she and we realized in higher element how the senator’s common shifting of household monies into insurgent accounts risked being came upon after one in every of her accounts fell 400,000 brief earlier than she might replenish it. Ergo, her must probably retain Davo Sculdun’s specific set of expertise. Talking of which, the cousins’ chat occurred whereas LEIDA was within the subsequent room partaking in some form of ceremony/ceremony of passage that appears to be half and parcel with Chandrilan betrothal customs…?
