ANDOR EPISODE 9 BREAKDOWN! Star Wars Easter Eggs & Details You Missed!

welcome back to New rockstars I'm Eric. Boston this is a breakdown of Star Wars. and or episode nine yes I do look and. sound a bit different here because I'm. currently in a different corner of the. blue dungeon at new rockstars HQ I'll be. back in my little rat hole in a few days. but my mission is the same here to plug. in so deep to content to identify all. the horrifying details until my mind. it's great. let's break down all the interesting. details and Star Wars connections that. you might have missed starting with. composer Nicholas Patel's music in the. opening it takes on a more aggressive. beat. [Music].

table five has found a Brisk Rhythm to. assemble their probable Death Star. jigsaw pieces but also Quicken the. heartbeat as we realize time is running. out for them to make a move this episode. is titled nobody's listening Exclamation. point Exclamation point to connote a. shout and we learned that the Empire. does not care to listen to us because. it's too busy drowning us out with noise. the auditory torture of this episode. takes many forms the Machinery of the. narcina 5 work floor.

just shut down to the Senate pods. Authority. and here in the opening shot dead Ramiro. cracking her neck a chiropractor's dream. of course the most traumatic sound of. this episode is the one we do not hear. the torture of dysonite children's death. cry but the horror that's left to our. imagination has its own perceivable. counterpart with all the sounds of. Oppression we hear throughout this. episode the idea of the Empire silencing. voices that goes back to a New Hope.

really the most haunting detail of. Imperial cruelty that stuck with me as a. kid as if millions of voices suddenly. cried out in Terror. suddenly silenced while interrogating. Bix deadra says you pull in the net and. the easy thing the quick thing is to. assume that everything you've dragged to. shore is a fish really another way of. saying when you're a hammer everything. begins to look like a nail this has been. detra's criticism of the Empire The. Empire is killing ants with Bazookas. playing right into the rebel strategy so.

Dedra is saying she's more of a scalpel. Dedra goes on but I take a more nuanced. View. I try yeah she leans into whisper a very. intimate trigger her way of saying the. way we're gonna get to you is by forcing. our mouths into your ear she introduces. Dr gorse Who does his little wave of. course is the worst and she recounts. salmon Pack's backstory Hawk attended a. separatist meeting two years ago in. genre where he met a woman who suggested. that if he was serious about politics he.

might like to act as liaison for ferrics. when he returned home attended a. separatist meeting two years ago and met. a woman this is a lot like how Joe. McCarthy would force people to testify. for attending meetings in college often. early just to make friends or a hookup. and he used that to label these people. Communists a separatist meeting two. years prior would be long after the. Clone Wars when separatist power was all. but snuffed out anyway presumably this. woman he met was clear Lutheran's. operative on Coruscant behind deadra and. in every ISB interrogation room is a. grid of security cameras which are the. same design that Han and Chewie shoot.

out in the Death Star in a new hope not. really an earth shatter an Easter egg I. just appreciate the little continuity. details that take us back to that 70s. production design Dedra says. the very worst thing you can do right. now. poor me I love this I will be using it. in every context as a gift but there. also may be some unintentional wordplay. here Tetra doesn't want to be bored as. an uninterested but she also doesn't. want to be bored as in drilled into to. form a hole she doesn't want anyone to. bore into her protective shell and she.

flashes just the tiniest bit of. vulnerability when she realizes Bix. won't confess to anything voluntarily. [Music]. got the tiniest muscle in Denise goff's. cheek contracts there and I love all the. transitions back and forth from bix's. torture to the Machinery of the prison. in this episode which always sink to. sound like Bix screaming. thank you. there's a cold but satisfying efficiency.

to the way the machine parts Rise Up. from the table like a Pez dispenser you. can actually see the next one locked and. loaded under the table so who loads. those one wonders if each level could be. an assembly line passing these parts up. to the next level to become more and. more complex spaces of this death star. or whatever they are Cassian AKA Keith. notices table two short-handed but not. for long there's a new man coming down. but we can take the if we push. we're already up on the floor now at. first I thought casting was a converted. institutionalized man chasing those. simple rewards when in reality he's.

actually clocking prisoner transfers. together Intel on the guards because. that's the only time guards come in and. out of there like luthin and manmatma. and Belle he is wearing multiple masks. to survive he's proven himself a true. clandestine Rebel oolav struggles to. keep up what do you say Old Timer short. timer he has all's Corrections so they. don't really measure time and age they. measure it in time remaining in your. sentence and by the way there is no way. ulap was labeled as able-bodied recently. suggesting that he might have been in. this prison for 7 several years maybe. even pre-empire which would be quite an.

indictment on the oversight of the. Republic era he may be an old-timer who. got rotated back into a new level and. prefers institutionalization like the. tragic character of the inshawshank. Redemption alternatively we could also. see him as the evil old man in Squid. game Who spoiler warning was the true. game master of all of that but rather. than ulap as a deceitful Undercover Boss. I think a darker theory is that he was. the original Prison Architect who built. and designed all this in the Empire. imprisoned him here to keep it all a. secret Cassian swaps with taka's spot.

under the guise of efficiency and even. credits toggle with the idea but it's. actually to give him an opportunity to. keep an eye on the room without having. to glance over his shoulder all. awkwardly later he sees that guard. passing overhead and uses that moment to. take a break and remember last episode. taga was the one who noticed the passing. guards overhead laughing at them gorrest. explains the origin of their. interrogation technique an audio. recording from the dysonites from daison. Frey they make a sound as they die sort. of. Coral. agonized pleading specifically The Isley.

isolildren in Real World by. robot with a natural trigger to the. sound of crying children because we are. tribal creatures designed to avoid. attracting Predators the Empire has. weaponized this Instinct turning our. biological empathy for the distressed. signals of endangered children into an. interrogation technique God I hope the. CIA isn't watching the show in the. moment these headphones are put on her. is haunting. foreign.

the most terrifying moment of Star Wars. the score cuts out and we brace. ourselves for the sounds of those. dysonite death screams but instead all. we hear is Big screaming this show is. using Andrea arjona's Coral agonized. pleading to torture us and the door. shuts on us and instead we follow a. guard walking past in the hallway just. like the shot of Leia being tortured on. the Death Star in A New Hope and again. this screen transitions to the prison.

workload. the screams of tortured Rebels are the. same as the screams of their machines. the same as the screams of their type. Fighters we have to listen to them. scream but when we scream nobody's. listening exclamation point Cassian saws. into the Machinery in the wall of the. bathroom which is located directly. beneath the lift so this is likely part. of the Hydraulics of it you can notice a. few pass scratches on that pipe so they. have been working at this for quite some. time Cassian and this other prisoner. clock the new prisoner arrival two.

guards two weapons no boots meaning the. floor of that elevator must not be. electrified In This Moment believe me. now the elevator is not wide nothing. that moves can fry you the prisoner. means no walking platform that moves but. he also implies that the roving humans. of this facility aren't the threat the. facility design is and if you can get. past that design the rest are going to. fall over like dominoes Dedra sneers. that she squeezes bix's sweaty face. looking a lot like agent Smith. interrogating Morpheus in The Matrix and. later after this interrogation her. Captain says.

care I'd like to hang him yeah these. Imperials are truly sincerely disgusted. with their captives and again Pock was. just a guy who attended a separatist. meeting in college trying to get laid. now if you're full of chivalry and. really want to address someone as Lord. and Lady established titles can make it. official established titles as a Project. based on a historic Scottish custom. where landowners are referred to as. lairds or Lords and Ladies in English. they let people buy as little as one. square foot of dedicated land so that. they can call themselves a lord or a.

lady in return established titles. commits to planting a tree it's just a. really fun way to help preserve the. beautiful woodlands and biodiversity of. Scotland while supporting Global A4. station efforts established titles work. with global charity trees for the future. and one tree planted to help them plant. a tree for every order Plus for those. with Scottish Heritage out there it's. just a great way to connect to your. family roots your certificate features a. unique plot Number with which you can. see the exact location of your land on a. private estate in edelston Scotland and. an official certificate with the crest. you can get a couple pack for you and.

your partner with adjoining plots of. land and you can literally have this. gift ready in five minutes so it makes. an amazing last minute gift an. established titles is actually running a. massive sale right now plus if you use. the code new rockstars you get an. additional 10 off so go to established. titles.com new rockstars to get your. gifts now and help support this channel. on to the Senate Chamber Of course on. now it has an imperial Crest on the. central floor which is not during the. Star Wars prequels man magma speaks and. sharing that Central Deus is a figure. who is hard to make out from the. overhead shot you can see some blue so I.

thought it could have been the grand. vizier masameda but a closer shot later. makes this guy look more human in the. background we do hear male voice. shouting. is to the citizens who have sent us here. just as matsumita did in Phantom Menace. when they were trying to recall. Chancellor valorum. there's a lot like the British. Parliament where they're all kind of. yell at each other and the speaker will. go. as mon speaks out against the por-d. other Senators Heckle things like long. live the Empire and we've heard this and. boo and I know compared this to the UK. Parliament but that's all done in.

respectful jest for the most part. meanwhile in the American legislative. bodies more and more we're starting to. see the president get heckled during the. state of the union and it's not a good. thing and while there are some. supportive shouts of listen to her most. of the pods one by one switch off their. lights in protest of her words literally. making this room more and more like the. dark side says those of you who still. believe that when we enter this building. we are in a temple yes mon Likens his. Senate chamber with a temple the way the. Jedi see their temple on course on and.

both of these temples will end up. desecrated by Palpatine on the bridge. tagus hand signal partner tells him that. something is going on on level two. what's he saying. yeah. another one. what was that this power surge was the. moment the guards completely fried the. 100 inmates on that level 2 bridge but. this also shows that when one large. floor area gets activated power must be. redirected from the rest of the prison. which is something that they might be. able to use next episode when they break.

out Kino yells at Target saying that it. takes a week for word to get from one. level to the other that's only for him. he just doubts that taka's back Channel. could communicate that fast and I think. he's really just angry that he's the. last one to know when things happen. because he's just going through proper. channels in his Network we learned that. Bell is monmouth's cousin both fighting. the Empire from different angles. spinning out of it. you took a vow a vowel it sounds like. these two embarked on this Rebel mission. after swearing a kind of oath but to.

whom I'm wondering if they could have. sworn this vow at the grave of Padme. Cassian tells Kina that the guards don't. have to care about what they're saying. down there we are nothing to them. well she's right we're cheaper than. droids and he's here to replace this is. true even for the top brass of the. Empire Tarkin replaced efficient but. expensive clone troopers and replaced. them with Stormtrooper recruits even. though Stormtroopers don't know how to. aim for and Kino switches off his. cell light to ignore Keith the same way. the other Senators switch off their. lights to tell man mothma that they were.

ignoring her Dedra updates the ISB about. stolen Imperial equipment found in a. rebel cell associated with Maya pay that. was the person who was cited last. episode by saw Guerrera as a past failed. Rebel leader deadra tries to connect. Cassie into the eldani robbery and her. Aid speaks up he was clean-shaven andal. had shaved the rebels of aldani were. clean shaven. and two soldiers from The Garrison who. got a look at him felt there was some. similarity to our reference picture yeah. they're starting to close in on all of. them realizing that the simple Act of. changing one's appearance is reason. enough to suspect wrongdoing cassian's.

level learns that 100 men were fried out. and Kino snaps we finally see Aquino. realize that the system he has trusted. for so long was never trustworthy. it's another day. another shift so let's keep our mouths. shut keep our heads down. until we know what's going on Andy's. circus is so good at showing that. in his eyes the same ship from Defiance. to vulnerability then back to Defiance. that he brought to the performance of.

Gollum I love this actor Cyril's mom. noticed that he changed his hair just. like the Imperials noticed a Cassian. shave but Zero's case is likely to. impress deadra he says he's been in my. private box. her voice of knowing a private box gross. I mean you know some hand-drawn pictures. of deadra are in there right his mom. nags shadow of a song a tenant a. stranger that's new you want to remember. that all that time away on molana what. if I'd let your neglect drive me insane. imagine that oh the Sass between these.

two but the mom did not even hear him. she just kept going on and on and then. he does the same thing he slurps his. milk to drown her out again nobody's. listening let me support Bell tells them. that she's headed back to chandrilla yes. the pilgrimage I thought she was making. a joke about this just being an. obligatory visit to relatives but no the. closed captioning capitalizes pilgrimage. so this must be some chandrillan custom. like the eye of aldani it's another. religious custom something that the. Purity just raised the penalties for if. you use as a cover for Rebel activities. also I like that they're eating these.

large eggs what some blue garnishes. sticking out looks yummy zero cars. stalks outside the ISB to run into Dedra. and he thanks her for his promotion at. the Bureau of Standards he tells her. she's being in your presence Cheyenne. they've realized that life was worth. living I realized that if nothing else. there was Justice perhaps my deranged. belief that there was something better. fitted for me in the future was a dream. worth clinging to yeah he clearly wrote. and rehearsed his speech a legitimately. creepy profession of love from an. unsocialized loner but let's just saying.

how you do it and he says I want. since it zero poor sensitive confirmed I. mean I kind of hope he is just so an. Inquisitor gets him Dentures Aid reports. that they captured a rebel pilot and are. holding them on a destroyer outside. stearguard now the rebels don't really. have much of a fleet at this point this. really is a pilot who's just piloting. transport ships around remember we only. saw two early model x-wings outside. sagarea's Hideout but those x-wings. alone were enough for Luther to go to. him asking for some air support takeoma. tells mon that to cover a 400 000 credit.

withdrawal they need a large sum deposit. alone that they'll have to get from a. thug Banker Davos golden someone will. meet next episode The ISB puts together. that the rebel pilot worked for Anto. Krieger the guy Lutheran told Sagar air. about last episode who needed that air. support on the mission to spell house. Dedra says that the pilot was on his way. to cabrin the rings of caprine was where. we first met Cassie and Andor in Rogue. one they plan to sabotage the Pilot's. ship so that it's found by the rebel. cell meaning that Anto Krieger is about. to get ambushed and Lutheran could get. outed this way ooloff suffers a stroke.

right at the end of a shift and Saul has. to cover him so that he's blocked. perfectly from the line inside the. guards up above the Medtech arrives Dr. rasid played by Adrian Rollins another. actor from HBO's Chernobyl in this cast. he played the character for me he also. played James Potter in the Harry Potter. films and we see his feet on the graded. lift platform another reminder that it. is not electrified and this will. probably be their means of Escape now. Rosie says that he has seen Olaf before. and he reveals that the riot on level 2. was caused by a prisoner who had. previously been a level four and. released just to be recycled back to a.

different level like melshi suggested. the number does not matter no one ever. really leaves this place and I love how. Kino calls ulap Uli he had a nickname. for him proving that he knew this old. man for a long time and had some. affection for him and now he might be. wondering if molop could have also been. recycled from a different level and. that's why he's so old and now seeing. this old man die in prison Kino realizes. that there is no hope and finally. answers cassian's question. many cards on each level. 11 more than 12. now we do some math. here at seven levels that also means no.

more than 84 guards in this whole. facility and probably less than that. because guards are always falling behind. but transferring between levels like who. knows maybe there's only like 30 guards. in this whole place but we know for sure. there are 100 prisoners per room 50. shifting from day to night and seven. rooms per level that's 700 per level and. then Seven Levels meaning 4 900. prisoners well maybe 4 800 now but. either way nearly 5 000 against no more. than 84 guards I mean always tell me. those odds follow me on Tick Tock.
