Review of The Eye

Andor: The Eye (2022)
Season 1, Episode 6
6/10
The Eye
8 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Finally at long last the heist takes place. It is well orchestrated as I expect anything that carries the Star Wars name to do.

The episode also shows how the Empire subjugates the people it has conquered. In this case the Dhanis who have lost access to many of their customs and rituals.

Commandant Beehaz (Stanley Townsend) placates these locals by allowing them to venture to the annual solstice, a spectacular meteor shower also known as the Eye.

For the rebels this lightshow will be the cover to launch their raid.

I did wonder if the Dhanis plight mirrored that of the Palestinians. That is Star Wars getting very political.

For Andor there is an important character development, he might not be here to make friends. He is loyal and turns down an opportunity to get greedy.

An episode like The Eye should had been shown much earlier in this series.
