Alright.
So Andor, episode nine is out right now
and what a mic drop of a finish that was.
But no worries in this video we're going to be discussing
that ending
some of the Easter eggs you might have missed
are theories for next episode.
Along with our reaction and review of this episode.
I don't want to waste any time.

Now let's get into ANDOR Episode nine.
So let's keep our mouths shut.
Keep our heads down
until we know what's going on.
Okay, so if you're just coming out of episode nine,
let's talk about that ending scene
and what it means
as a potential ripple effect into episode ten.
Towards the end of their shift,
the team has to keep ULA off standing because he's suffering
from what appears to be exhaustion.
However, things get worse
during the shift change, resulting in ULA collapsing
with Andor and Kino LOI staying behind
until the med tech can examine him.
Unlawful only having 40 shifts left, Loy softly informs
the medtech of this,
insisting on giving him just anything to help keep him up.
However, the med tech
cannot because you love has had a massive stroke.
There's nothing he can do.
The MedTech continues
by saying You love is one of the lucky ones
that he will pass peacefully,
unlike everyone else in the prison.
Another week like this.
And you'll be begging for what he's getting.
What do you mean?
The MedTech injects.
You love allowing him to pass.
But the previous comments from the MedTech
have awoken something in both Loy and Andor
questioning if he knows exactly what happened on level two
and if the rumor about something bad
happening down there is in fact true.
It's revealed that someone made a mistake.
A man was released on level four
and then wound up on level two.
The next day word got out and the overseers
trailed everyone on the floor.
I mean,
they gave them the shocker and everyone on the floor died.
That yeah, no one in the entire prison is getting out
as Andor presses
LOI about how many guards are on each floor once again,
with him finally giving in, saying never more than 12.
Basically they are keno
and or everyone that has been counting down
their sentences are going nowhere.
Not only are the sentences completely made up,
the numbers don't matter, which is something
Mel she had a feeling was happening in episode eight.
Don't ever look at the number.
Double, triple. It doesn't matter.
Hey, you're into.
They don't want you anymore you're not get st with that
mouth say thinks again and I was dreaming.
Those days are over.
But even if someone is quote
released, they will just be swapped out into another floor
with another made up sends
to continue this cycle again and again until whatever it is
they are building, which I'm still saying
are pieces to the Death Star is complete.
These prisoners mean nothing to the Empire.
The placements in their day shifts don't mean anything.
They are workhorses and keno finally realizes this leaning
into or doors.
Plans for an escape informing them of his guard knowledge.
It's only a matter of time before this secret
gets out to more and more floors,
and it was hinted that they had been frightened.
Larger groups of prisoners in this episode
but the couple of power flickers floor
to obviously being the main example
so it's really a race
against the clock for and or Keno and everyone else.
Now before we get into our theories
on what the next episode holds like, it's
going to be a huge prison break with like Jar
Jar blasting them out are going to go boom boom.
So let's talk about some of the episodes.
Easter eggs in Gerard's Easter eggs.
Chats, Easter eggs.
Miro mentions some of her colleagues
take a quick and easy approach.
Like Blevins,
conflicting reports that Khan later disapproved of,
whereas she is more thorough, a more nuanced view, she tries.
But we know this is poor logic.
Because of Yoda's teachings in Empire Strikes Back. Do
or do not?
There is no try.
Melchior, who we mentioned earlier, is played by Duncan Pao
and is not only part of Andorra's Table five crew,
but seemingly shows up in Rogue One, breaking out Jyn ERSo
and also fighting on Scarif, meaning that andor recruits him
after this assumed prison break or escape.
The prison guards boots look similar to the prison
boots from face off
instead of magnetizing them to the floor, they prevent shocking
against the tongue storied floor.
Also fun fact the face off boots were actually repurposed
goomba boots from the 1993 Super Mario Bros movies.
So the more you know,
the prison uniforms with the white and orange
coloring looks similar to prison uniforms used in real life.
But more importantly,
they are similar styles as those from Star Wars rebels
and the factory labor workers worn on low thin in season
three Episode ten Andy Circus plays Keno Loy,
the man in charge of Level Five's day shift.
However, Circus also performed motion capture and voice work
for Snoke in the sequel trilogy.
But we all know his time in that role was cut short.
The scenes of BICS being interrogated by Dr.
Gorst involve a similar looking headset
that was worn by LOBA in Empire Strikes Back.
The official name is an age six cyborg construct,
essentially an imperial technology
headset designed to increase productivity in low
level workers.
But on BICS, it's used as torture.
Dr. Gorst uses death screams of dies
a night disc designer dies on night children.
The Empire had eradicated to torture because this form of,
quote, enhanced interrogation has actually been used by
the CIA.
Constantly blaring, crying children.
MAN It's like my showing of black.
Adam Hey, hey. You shut that baby up.
The brilliant transition of BICS screaming to the drill in
the prison
is a perfect symbol of the empire
drilling down for information.
But from the entirely wrong sources.
This quote interviewing scene with Biggs also adds to the ever
growing list of differing methods
of interrogation in the Star Wars Galaxy
being similar to that of the Borg
Gullit used by Saw Guerrero in Rogue One, the interrogation
droid or itto interrogator used in a new hope
and the scan grid used on Han in Empire Strikes Back.
The Imperial Guard mentions that he'd like to hang Salmond Park
to show the people of Ferrous who is actually in charge here.
And a similar thing happened.
And or his father Clem,
as hinted at by LUTH and back in episode three
and also shown in the flashbacks of Episode
seven, Cassian removing the panel
using a tiny tool to cut through the power to escape is like
one of the handful of iconic prison escape movies out there.
Most notably Shawshank Redemption.
Because of the tiny rock hammer.
Andy Dufresne uses Monmouth and mentions the Public Order
Re Sentencing Directive or poured
the law that the prisoners ask about in.
You know, last week's
episode is the next step in total control by the Empire,
but also used as a way to speed up
the production of the Death Star,
because it's mentioned that they are behind
schedule in later films and or even mentions that prisoners
are way cheaper than droids and easier to replace.
Mathema mentions the Senate as a temple before Palpatine
took control
of the Jedi Temple and Senate had very similar viewpoints.
Both church and state were connected at this time
rather than what we see here.
Vel mentions that she was traveling
for the last six months,
which was actually her time on the Adani job.
Mathema has no clue that Vel,
her cousin, from what we learn here,
was one of them in the heist job, therefore
creating another connection to the rebellion
than just loosen this talk between and or in Kino about how
the Empire is essentially fat, dumb, incompetent,
has some of the same kind of
beats as and or his first conversation
with Lucien,
almost as Andor himself, is a spark of the rebellion,
passing his rebellious spirit
on without him really even knowing it.
Miro makes the connection to
and or being involved with Adani and ferries
because a witness said that they saw clean shaven
which relates
back to his imperial mug shot hologram from earlier.
Ironically him shaving,
which in any other situation would hide his identity instead
made it much clearer.
Khan is having a delicious breakfast of blue milk
and some sort of cereal.
At first thought
they could be Greta's raisin hand or even corn flakes.
But yeah, it's just the blue and purple pieces
from the 2020 Limited Edition Trolls World Tour.
Trix cereal silly rabbit trix are for Khans.
The conversation between Khan and Miro outside of the ISB
headquarters seems like a fun little.
Ooh, I have such a crush on you type meeting,
but instead you can feel the Sith culture seeds
underneath the empire with Khan craving power, wanting
what Miro has.
While Miro
selfishly shrugs
him off, Miro is made aware that a rebel in possession
of an illegal imperial masking unit is being held
on a destroyer off of steer guard.
Steer guard being the same naval yard
and or store the Imperial Star Path Unit from earlier
in this series.
The change really in
finance are mentioned to help Mathema is Davos Coltan,
which is a character I'm
sure Mothman grew up with or is aware of.
But I think it's more a play on words here
because Davos is located in Switzerland
and they are dealing with bankers here.
So basically a Swiss banker is what they are
kind of alluding to in Swiss bank accounts
stereotypically allow for high levels of privacy.
This is what Mothman needs.
Or I made
the most outlandish connection and just wasted your time. Are
you support is Wilson
Anto Krieger was mentioned by Sagara in last week's episode
and the Empire has one of his crew members in custody.
Guerrero mentioned that Krieger was slow and stupid,
which explains why the Empire is now blowing up his spot.
Further mentions of caf rain, which is where
and or collects the intel at the beginning of Rogue
One potentially being actually one of Krieger's men.
There's also conversation of killing the pilot,
forging official documents to say
that it was all an accident,
and then using him as bait,
which is all too real way of showing
how the corruption among the empire is a thing
and also mirrors that of real life authorities.
And the MedTech is featured
in a different white and teal outfit.
Teal is often a color associated with revitalizing
and rejuvenating, hence
a medical professional, but also represents open
communication and clarity of thought,
which feels like him informing Andor
and Kino of the incident on level two,
and Kino ending the episode
with a clear mind and giving up the guard numbers.
And that has been Jared's Easter eggs, carrots.
Easter eggs.
Now, as for where episode ten goes, it's got to be
the prison break, right?
Word is slowly spreading about what happened.
A level two and none of the prisoners
are actually able to leave the facility.
This is all ramping up in a similar way
that the heist did on Alderney.
Even in this episode around like the 13 minute mark and
or mutters that the platform
and the elevator don't have shock floors
because the guards are not wearing their boots
while the new guy on the floor
doesn't appear to be shocked by hitting the railing,
they're going to stop the
elevator halfway and climb out of this mess.
Maybe also tying in
with like
the wires or whatever that and or was trying to
cut into earlier in this episode,
potentially cutting the power to the lift
and or is the spark
to get these people on board with the rebellion?
We already know that, Mel.
She winds up with him in Rogue One
while realizing
the empire are straight up pieces of Bamford duty.
Just a theory.
But if they get out of this prison,
only need to see a half built Death Star.
I will not be surprised.
As for Miro and Mama, I have a feeling that this raid
at spell house will be cut short
before any progress can be made, with a captured Krieger
giving up Luton's name as Axis, which in turn shakes up
Mama's plans.
And then she has to move forward with whatever arrangement
this devious cold in has in mind.
Let me know what sort of craziness
you think is going to go down in these next couple of weeks.
As for and or this series from weekend to week out
has exceeded my expectations, like blown them away.
It's a slow burn of these interconnected
stories, almost entirely being new characters.
We have never had time with before,
and then fleshing out their character.
But not only that, the worlds and the ideologies
that they live in, surprisingly, some of them on the completely
opposite sides of the spectrum, but having similar thoughts.
I love how Tony Gilroy has tuned this into like a Blade
Runner esque, clean and crisp sci fi dystopian story.
With the past two episodes being in this prison,
the establishment leading to escalated events,
and then the overwhelming tension
of watching a plan unravel
with some unexpected hiccups along the way.
That is exactly what I'm hoping for for this next episode,
a grandiose prison escape with a last second
pull the rug from underneath one of the pivotal characters.
But obviously, I'd love to hear your thoughts
on episode nine of Andor,
and if you think this is going
to lead into a huge prison break with a lot of them
joining the rebellion,
and I'll let you know,
we're currently running a competition right
now, giving away three copies of Top Gun Maverick
