”Tell him our ghosts have strong hands and long memories.”

What the fuck is this name?

Never seen it before, why is there a page for this?? 😳

Relationship Status: Together; Syril is dead

Are you kidding me?? 😭😭

tried my hand at painting Star Wars ladies again ft. The Girl of All Time

the IFTAs are the only real awards, they're the only ones to rightfully nominate Genevieve O'Reilly

If you haven't cried at the end of the last episode of Andor then you haven't watched it. Go and do it.

In Arthur's fabulous video, he refers to Cassian as 'lonely'. I can't decide if that's the right word. Yes, he must be lonely on the most basic level - he has lost his home and the people he knew - but Maarva and Clem loved him fiercely, Brasso and Bix loved him to the end. Cassian is a loner and he is alone, but he is lucky enough to be loved by people who still love him no matter how much strife he causes them, and that's important. Not everyone gets that.

Syril.

So l think if he's lonely it's through a kind of choice. He doesn't fit in on Ferrix, he misses his home, but he is loved, no matter how hard he tries.

He is so damn complex.

I’m always thinking of that beautiful quote from Diego about Cassian… “He’s so full of love but he’s so afraid of being loved”. The ArTorr video essay really “gets” that connection imo between love, home and being a revolutionary. The way you need to be able to love others universally and unconditionally in order to be able to make that ultimate sacrifice for the cause.

who did it better…?

ANDOR Episode 7: Announcement

Fashioning Ferrix

@andorappreciation 14th April: Costumes and sets design

I’m a massive fan of Ferrix. I want to visit. I want to walk in its streets, meet its people, taste its food. The production design isn’t just insanely detailed, it also tells the story of a community.

Here’s an open-air barber’s shop. You can see it in use behind Cassian when he visits Xanwan Freight.

Then there’s the costumes of the people that live there. Did you spot the sunglasses ? I love that Bix was originally codenamed “Becky”. Maarva: “Maggie” 😀

Did you notice that Maarva has a lot of houseplants? Flowers and plants are clearly part of the Ferrix funeral tradition as well – here they are on the body as it’s removed.

Christian Matzke specialises in identifying background Aurebesh and Bazeese. Bazeese - the Ferrix writing script - is named for Barry Gingell, the graphic designer who is responsible for so much of what we see on screen. His nickname is Baz. They were going to give it a proper name, but he just kept on using it until everybody accepted it. (He also cameos as Anto Kreegyr in the holoimage seen in episode 11)

Enjoy the rest of these posts from Christian. My favourite is the one about the Time Grappler’s tower. In episode 3, when one of their own is under threat, the people of Ferrix do exactly this. 

Just re-reading the story of the stolen funeral brick and remembering an interview with Diego and Adria where they revealed that somebody was fired on the spot for stealing something from the Ferrix set. Didn’t say what it was, but some carefully designed Ferrix credits were stolen too, so I wonder if it was the same thief who was finally caught or if there was more than one.

May I present to you: the credit stealer. 😝

i'm so fucking mad that i got into Andor late and never got to see the real-time reactions to this devious professional instigator known as Captain Kaido

he reminds me so much of Ralph Fiennes' Amon Goeth from Schindler's List

BIX CALEEN | Andor - What a Festive Evening (2x06) "It will only feel like forever."

That line - a wonderful echo of when he told her “it won’t take long… It won’t feel that way to you” 💀

I just finished watching Andor.

I'm speechless.

This series is by far the best peice of media to ever come out of the Star Wars universe.

It's actually one of the best series I've ever seen period. Holy shit.

I'm forever changed.
