I CANT WAIT FOR ANDOR S2!!!
This is Star Wars.
It’s impressive how creators occasionally get good star wars made, probably because Kathleen Kennedy wasn’t paying attention.
So good
Dude sounds like RFK Jr
Who else is here to cleanse themselves after having to endure the Acolyte
Would be a great sith lord
More depth, passion, ethos and acting skills portrayed here in one and a half minutes than in the entirety of The Acolyte.
I share my dreams with ghosts
This scene gave me chills. The second best scene in all of Star Wars
You know show is good when it's most viewed part on youtube is just character speaking.
Ah, imagine this level of dialogue being given to the Jedi, or the Emperor. Star Wars desperately needs new voices.
Luthen is the best character to be invented by Star Wars post Disney, hands down.
This man is the anti Palpatine.
Where’s his oscar nomination?
The only thing good coming out of Star Wars the past 5 years.
He went full on KOTOR 2 here.
There will never be a Star Wars dialogue as great as this one again.
man im glad i used my dolby atmos audio driver for this!! get right to the story!! freaking amazing!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dune is better
I need to watch this this clip has told me.
You can tell a lot from the smallest amount.
Plus, I've heard it is excellent.
Many times — more often than people realize — writers and directors are forced to dial back the elegance, nuance, and poetic power of dialogue, because the actors cannot carry it off. They are like pop singers being asked to do opera. Instead of Pavarotti you get Katy Perry, and it hurts to watch.
What makes Andor work on a level that many of us have never seen across the entire franchise, is that the acting is staggeringly good — and Stellan Skarsgård is at the top of the list. He could easily steal every scene he is in, but the show has the discipline to hold him back, and only let him out every now and then (like in this astonishing scene).
Like, try and imagine Mark Hamill in a scene like this. Mark Hamill is a great guy. But he's not a great actor. Fortunately, he can leverage the immense power of the Star Wars lore to do a lot of the heavy lifting for him (sometimes he just has to look into the camera and that's enough, he's friggin Luke Skywalker after all!). My point is that a lot of the dialogue across Star Wars stuff is what it is because the acting can't withstand too much pressure. Womp rats, pew pew.
So yes, I agree with everyone who says that Andor has the best writing we've ever experienced in the franchise. But I'd also say it has, by far, the best acting. Even the little Wall-E-like droid can carry a scene.
straight bars!!!!!!!!!
chills every time
One, if not the most powerful speeches given, that is so insightful of those who seek to help fight against tyranny, by any means, and sacrificing the essence of any humanity they may have had.
This is one of the finest monologues on TV in the last 20 years. Stunning.
While in Acolyte: "The power of maaaannyyyyyyyyy 💦"
This show wasn’t about Star Wars it’s about OPPRESSION and how oppression causes the oppressed to rise up!
When your buddy has a chance to talk to the unicorn, but he needs your help with her wildebeest friend.
Out of all the moments of his speech the bit that really gets me is "I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy!" because of the fact he has to use the same tactics and brutal methods of the very thing he's fighting against and he hates doing it not because he's a good man but because he feels that he's knows that there is no other way to beat them.
And then we get The Acolyte.
This is peak Star Wars.
All of the things Luthen has sacrificed are the core qualities of a Jedi, he has cut himself off from the force to avoid being detected.
he is a Jedi. I FEEL it.
I love not being treated like a baby. Not saying all Star Wars has to be this gritty but you can't tell me this is bad, or isn't Star Wars. I mean you can, but I'll have a much better argument for my opinion that has to do with writing and character.
If you listen to this thinking he is a Jedi in hiding, it makes a lot more sense.
This is my story; the tortured artist.
I burn my life to.make.the sun rise I know I'll never see. The ego that started this fight will never have a mirror an audience. 15 years baby..
the show is not star wars like a new hope ,but it is the harsh reality of the bits of a star wars universe we had not seen .
the star wars universe is vast and there are a million story's to be told dark funny childish ,there is room for it all, as long as it is good and with exceptions like this, and far to few others ,its not .
"Princess Leia's Rebel forces will not do anything in order to win. They will not sacrifice lives. They do not descend to the level of the enemy. That's the difference between the Rebels and the Empire. It's possible to fight because you love, not just because you hate." –Irvin Kershner, from "Once Upon A Galaxy: A Journal of The Making of The Empire Strikes Back" pp. 15.
So many memorable quotes and great moments of dialogue.
This show was a masterpiece I wish the acolyte was written this well
I need every hero I can get.
The best dialogue in all Star Wars.
All future Star Wars creatives should use this to inspire and learn from them.
Perfection.
And now we have The acolyte
Loved it when he says “My Dune. My Arrakis.”
This is bordering on Shakespearean. That is how good the dialogue is. It could be a soliloquy. And it is only enhanced by the actors ability to grow increasingly more furious the more he speaks, as he asks himself the question over and over. Brilliantly done 👏
Luthen’s a Jedi in hiding and his secret lightsaber is orange. As you were.
He has to be a former jedi
