They have totally gave a spoon rifle

There is a scene in the ninth episode of AndorSeason 2 Where Phil SarthaCheck a table full of weapons requested at the Javin rebellion base, pick up an enlarged and asks who is. However, this is not what you ask for, and raising the pistol in the air in front of a crowd of new recruits. What you already say is “who belongs this? “

I was thinking a lot about this line Episode laterWhen she sneakes into a hospital in a desperate attempt to end the life of the man who saved her as a child, completely Market, one of AndorProminentSliding a small amplifier with one hell from a kick of the scrubbing its volatile nurse and quietly executes an ISB tactical officer. Then he does it again. and once again. It is the climatic and tense moment in an episode that accumulates to this single moment of emotional and dramatic version because it tears support for Luthan’s life. In many ways, the entire life of Kleya leads, one torn it by the empire, and it was rebuilt from its hatred, to this moment, and this is the moment of infiltration and execution is just a final prosperity.

The scene is incredible to the Kleya mission stains, but in the week since then Andor It ended to its end, I find myself returning to this tone. Or really, it’s just a gun. It is not the way in which these terms are particularly discrimination Star Wars The previous is much more common, but it is possible. Star Wars It is famous for the presence of many of its most famous forms of weapons in the real world-not only inspired by the actual weapons that were literally that were abandoning or overcoming bits and turning into them. Kleya pistol looks less like this approach Star Wars design. Certainly, what we see is a little of it, there is a little reporting of science fiction to exceed the fact that it unleashes the energy clean through the STORMTROPER skull, like a little light on the side. But Star Wars Blaster looked more like the regular rifle that I saw some time ago, and it appears to be a dergerer with stacked barrels and a small grip. Almost Feel Like an amplifier.

This is not the first time that we have seen this type of design philosophy to be upside down Andor– Star WarsWeapons were from the base, mainly working with AK-74s. But it is stripped of a lot of Star Wars It looks like it is parallel to how Kleya treats it and itself. It tells us that this scene is actually the first time we see it practicing a weapon Andor; Even this point, Kleya was coordinated, between Luthan, and her tools for resistance are its Comments and an ice appearance on an equal footing. However, this small huge is still completely. There is no tremor, nothing more than it should do: a point, pulling the trigger, putting the bolt through someone.

If a piston pistol from Kasyan reflects his character’s sense in that feature Little Whenever he is preparing for her, it is simplicity that makes her reflect her. it’s not Elegant in its simplicityIt is almost brutal, because the tone is not intended to be big or say something about its personality in this regard. It is not supposed to be icon, even if its scenes that it uses quickly since broadcasting the episode. It is a tool that puts people on its way down, and this is all it should be.

Everything returns, again, to this scene with an elephant. story Andor It is, in some respects, the story of those amplifiers that you pick up: it is a Syril pistol from when Cassian was arrested on Ferrix, which Cassian stole and then stolen, to Niabus, then assumed it to Milchi after the outbreak of Narkina 5, and now he has become his way to the heart of the rebel alliance. Do AndorHer characters belong to their weapons, as soon as they choose to capture them? Have they been defined by this choice, the symbolic gesture of their resistance to the imperial regime?

Sometimes they are. Or sometimes the gun is just a gun, no more, no less. In the case of kleya, it can be a little from the two. After all, this is where I always worked better.
