Cassian and his allies raid the Imperial garrison on Aldhani and steal the Imperial payroll while the Dhanis celebrate the Eye in episode six of Andor.
The previous two episodes of Andor receive a payoff in episode six when Cassian assists Vel’s team in raiding the Imperial garrison on Aldhani. Initially, the plan goes off like clockwork; however, complications ensue. Along the way, we learn exactly where Cassian’s loyalties lie and how he views the galaxy. This is a spectacular episode set against the backdrop of the phenomenon known as “the Eye” on Aldhani. Buckle in and join us as we discuss the greatest heist in Star Wars live action history.
In this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:
- Nemik’s manifesto and the impact it may have on Cassian,
- The Imperial perspective on the Dhani and what it says about Imperial officers,
- The initial stages of the raid on the Imperial garrison,
- The Rebel’s escape from the garrison,
- Navigating the Eye and fleeing from Imperial pursuit,
- Cassian’s decisions at the end of the episode, and
- Mon Mothma and Luthen’s reaction to news of the raid.
Our review of episode five of Andor can be found in episode 476.
