Anwar explained the second season of the Gorman massacre

Be ready to give up all the opportunities in the inner peace and make your mind a space without sun if you have not seen episode 8 of Season 2, because there is there The main spoilers forward.

One of the largest magic tricks “Andor” makes you forget that it is prior. The problem with Prequels is that, by knowing what will happen, tension disappears. How can you surprise the audience when they know where things go? Where the “Star Wars” trilogy focused almost completely on showing the origin of the characters that we knew and how they ended up where the audience met for the first time, “Andor” (and “Rogue One” before that) Doing the masterpiece of the masterpiece “Best Saul’s invitation”.

Although we know where Cassian (Diego Luna), Mon Mother (GeneVift O’Railly) and GERRERA (Forest Whitaker) end, surprises and tension on those characters that we do not already know. Personalities like Bix (Adria Arjona), Syril Karn (Kyle Soller) or Luthen (Stellan Skarsgård) or Vel (Faye Marsay), who do not appear in any other “stars war” media, are the ones who strongly want the audience to see it to the end (well, maybe not Syril). After that, this is the “AndOr” road adding a context to certain personal options – Like a Jerryra saw breathing device – Or present various versions of familiar characters that add this tension and conspiracies, such as how strict Senator becomes the leader of the rebellion.

An example of this is what is happening in Gorman in the second season, episode 8. It is Not only “rebel stars war” fans who knew this would comeSince the first episode of the season, it briefly glowed that the empire was planning a collective genocide on the level of Gormra and we witnessed the Denise Gift and Syril working to achieve this goal for five episodes. The best courtesy can give it the second season of “AndOr” is that regardless of the amount of the telegraph that will happen, it is still surprising and surprising to see it. When it comes to the Gorman massacre, there is no amount of warning or prior knowledge that it undoubtedly promises you the most horrific thing in the history of the “Star Wars”.

As written by Dan Gilroe, the episode takes its beautiful time to reach horror, slowly but steadily building tension by playing in the inevitability of the next tragedy. If you were somehow deceived to forget that we knew that the empire was planning this massacre for years and that we knew several episodes that they would build the Gorman front as an excuse to kill everyone on the planet, it is easy to get lost at the present time when we see people heading towards Palo Balza to a peaceful protest. Except, when Cyril Carro Railans (Richard Samil) faces the imperial mining operations that occur in Gorman, even This is the son of the imperial boot It begins to ask what is really going on on the planet, and the reality is drowned.

Every minute, each scene is carefully made to ensure that the audience is familiar with all this. Caro’s concerns, the various rebels in Glorman, are preparing Kasyan preparing to assassinate Deedra, then Dedra discusses her plans to commit genocide. It is a major group in the implementation of the alfred Hitchcock bomb (telling the audience that something is about to happen does not spoil the surprise, but it creates suspense), because we know what will happen and we can do nothing but sit and watch these characters walk in terrifying and tragic death.

It is not as if the episode does not give the audience some simple hope that things will work well for Ghormans. There is a tragic moment as the demonstrators move from chanting around their ordeal, to the singing of what appears to be the national anthem of gurman, and join together in love with their planet directly in front of the imperial authorities directly Gorman’s previous massacre site. (There is a lot of hair here, George Lucas will be proud.)

But just like this, DEDRA gives this matter, and with the presence of StormroOOPers in the correct position to increase the demonstrators, the imperial sniper shoots stormtrooper, allowing them to start shooting at the unarmed crowd. With one shot, the fate of the ghorman was sealed. The matter gets worse than there.

The remainder of the episode is basically the second half of “Les Misérables”, when everything goes to hell and the bodies begin to decrease like flies. Director Yanos Metz is treating the episode as a war documentary, while keeping the camera to fever and close to the event. The massacre occurs in stages, first with a focus on chaos with Stormrophoopers in the shooting of the crowds. It is a tragic, proven and incredibly tragic thing to see a demonstration of unity and resistance that turns into a bloodbath.

Then, when people start trying to escape from the arena, or shoot, the empire fires its second wave: KX-Series Droids. “Star Wars” has a somewhat complex history with robotsBut this is one of the few times when the robots were completely terrifying in the “Star Wars” or a movie. The separate cold nature of KX and its invincible bodies, which apparently make them resemble the T-800 Terminator series, how to cut Ghorman citizens as they were made of paper. The color shift from suspense to emotional drama to straight terror makes this not only the best episode of the season yet, but perhaps the greatest one hour in the “Star Wars”.

What makes the Gorman massacre more tragic is how imperial propaganda also showcases work, with news broadcasting teams in the square of the square that already occurs in front of their eyes. The false galaxy attacked by the imperial ghorman may believe. The empire may have won the crude that they were desperate for me. But this moment, this tragedy, is only everything for the empire, but also the rebel alliance. Regarding the Hungarian effect, it makes the destruction of alderaan look like a child’s play.
