Star Wars: Andor 1x7
On December 3, 2020,[18] Diego Luna confirmed that the series had started filming in London.[19] The title of Andor, as well as behind the scenes footage of the filming of the series, were unveiled on December 10, 2020 at a Disney investors meeting. Filming began in late November of 2020.[20][21] Although Alan Tudyk was initially announced to play K-2SO in the series,[7] he later clarified in January of 2021 that while production was underway, he was not going to appear in the first season. He did, however, expect to be brought into the fold in later seasons.[22]
Elsewhere on Coruscant, a hooded Marki walks past Imperial security in a foyer into a public walkway. She follows several symbols on the walkway. Meanwhile, Dedra Meero visits the ISB datavault and requests access to two years worth of data from an unkempt Attendant Felzonis via a Multi-Sector Data Blend. She explains that her survey pool are Imperial Naval facilities and resources. She seeks a record of all missing avionics, comm, navigation, and targeting equipment. When Felzonis asks which star systems, Meero requests all star systems. Meero also asks that the report be kept confidential and that a copy be sent exclusively to her office. Meero asks Felzonis to be discreet.
For Cassian, that goal may have to switch back to simply surviving due to him now having another red dot pointed at his head. The mysterious, red-robed associate of Luthen that delivers this new mission to Vel makes a big impact in a fleeting amount of time. The coldness with which she bluntly states "this is what revolution looks like" is yet another example of the young rebellion having to get their hands dirty for the greater good. We're already aware the lines between good and bad are smudged in Andor, but it's never been boiled down so starkly and effectively as in the delivery of that one line. It's rare for a prequel to carry the sort of peril and stakes that keep you guessing as much as Andor does and a credit to the writers and directors that it consistently carries such a sharp edge.
While he'd love nothing more than to move on and switch focus back to finding his sister, the stark realisation that Stormtroopers now patrol the streets of his hometown brings back unwelcome memories. It's this coupled with a heartbreaking scene with his proxy mother, Maarva, that is the episode's standout moment. Fiona Shaw is outstanding as she tearfully tells of her love for him and her hate for the Empire. Two of the rawest emotions may finally be what unlocks Cassian's mind to what he needs to do. He's the match, his mother's pain the matchbox, and the Empire is ready to burn.
The tonal crash that beckons in Cassian's resort getaway is a stark one, but a welcome dash of levity in the context of the episode. Nicholas Britell once again stakes his claim for MVP with an energizing hit of the closest we've got to dance music in Star Wars since Figrin D'an laid down his woodwinds. No matter how much Andor tries to escape his troubles, however, we're once again shown that destiny is inescapable as the Empire's grasp finds him again. The walls of the maze are yet again closing around Cassian. We'll have to wait to see how he finds his way out of this one.
