- ConnectionsReferenced in That Star Wars Girl: Andor Episode 7 REVIEW! (2022)
We were recently introduced to the ISB and this episode opens up with an incredible scene that addresses the people present, and the way it was done felt like it was taken directly out of a war council in World War II. The threatening tone of it all and the specific things that were said sold the gravity of the situation very well for the Imperial standpoint. It all goes into how great the writing is, which bleeds into the other areas that the episode explores, like Mon Mothma expanding on her doings a little, continuing to distance herself from the people that she is pretending to be a part of. Her story especially feels like a spy thriller and it feels like someone could be watching over her shoulder at every step of the way. The writing is so good that even though we know the outcome of everything that's going on, it still feels like there are so many stakes and consequences waiting to happen. Meanwhile, Cassian's storyline takes him back to Ferrix and makes him engage in incredible conversation with people that we saw during the first arc. The dialogue is incredible and unlike anything that has been in a "Star Wars" property previously. And once again, I have to praise the performance that Diego Luna gives, but also the performance of Fiona Shaw as his mother who slides into this character with extreme ease and easily feels like she's been part of this universe and the battle for many years.
"Announcement" was an unexpected episode that took a slower approach, but continued to put an emphasis on unfolding the story in unique and exciting ways. The writing is so masterful and easily goes from many different storylines, making it all feel part of the same event and giving those major spy thriller vibes all throughout.
