Andor Recap: No Creature Comforts
With Cassian and Bix, we’re seeing a pair of devoted but frayed rebel fighters in their downtime, which can be its own form of hell.
As we jump ahead a year (to BBY 3) from the previous Andor arc, much of the episode follows two distant but smartly entwined threads: Cassian and Bix, trying to keep a low profile on Coruscant; and Syril Karn, in the midst of fomenting change on Ghorman, the planet known for its twill, introduced earlier this season. Bix turning to drugs in her isolation and trauma is pretty hackneyed, and caps off a less intriguing back half of the episode, where Andor ’s second-season weakness as a vast, ensemble-driven, multi-chapter, four-year epic moves to the fore. The Empire itself has always been depicted as human-driven, presuming some kind of disdain for other types of creatures as lower in some way, so fair enough that Krennic isn’t dying to give proper credit to the bug race wiped out in one of the TV shows.
