If it goes up in flames?
It will burn. Very brightly.
Just saying…..(no I’m not okay 🥲)
It's really amazing how strongly "Andor" comes out against the kind of purity politics you see in leftist circles. Its characters seem almost deliberately designed to be the kinds of "problematic" tropes that would get criticized by left-leaning cultural commentators.
Maarva kidnapped an indigenous-coded kid, gave him a new name, and assimilated him into her culture.
Luthen's day job is selling the stolen cultural artifacts from the victims of imperialism.
Mon Mothma is one of his customers as well as a mainstream liberal politician from a rich old-money family.
Kino Loy is basically a slave overseer or sonderkommando.
Lieutenant Gorn is a colonizer who fell in love with one of the colonized and switched sides.
Tay Kolma is a rich banker who works with mobsters like Davo Sculdun.
Saw Gerrera is so paralyzed by ideological purity that he just sits around in his cave, underfunded, not really accomplishing anything. Team Luthen, on the other hand, welcomes anyone who hates the Empire regardless of their ideologies or motivations so they actually get things done.
The ultimate theme of "Andor" is that if you want to fight fascism, don't get picky about who you work with or where you get your money from.
Thank you, Diego. You are the beautiful soul of Cassian ❤️
