“Ando” performer explains “The Galaxy is Watching”

The distant Milky Way just watched the Holocaust Ando. But does it understand what it sees? Will our audience in the galaxy?

Ando Season 2, Episode 8, “Who are you?” is not only the darkest moments on the show; it is probably the darkest moments ever in the Star Wars series. Ghorman’s commando is a prosperous planet, and the empire needs to build the Death Star to attack the square full of defenseless protesters. This attracted the rebels to the battle, both sides looking for propaganda victory.

Before the massacre, an incredible accumulation. Brave protesters gathered in the square, already the site of the former Imperial Holocaust, shouting, “We are Gore! The Galaxy is watching!” They had good reason to do so. These events were clearly covered up by a handful of Galaxy journalists on the spot – although, as Andor host Tony Gilroy confirmed, these journalists are working for the Enlightenment of the Empire.

Gilroy said, “They’re selling stories there” rebels carried out fake attacks on the Imperial Warehouse. Later, we saw that they focused their reports on “Imperial Martyrs” – basically dead commandos and Imperial employees. Rip Synril almost figured out what his boss was doing, and he never answered Cassian’s question (plot title). Rip Ghorman himself was the victim of what Senator Mon Mothma later called “genocide.”

Where does “galaxies are watching” come from?

But what about that iconic (and ultimately ironic) phrase, “The Galaxy is watching?” If you hear the echoes of the protests closer to the protests at home, “the whole world is watching,” that’s exactly what Gilroy intends.

“It’s universal enough that I can use it,” Gilroy said. Usage by protesters during the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011 — when New York Police Department officials conducted one of the largest mass arrests in U.S. history.

In fact, the ode is farther away than that, probably originated from the civil rights movement of the 1950s. Bob Dylan made some popularity, using it as a song on his groundbreaking 1964 protest album The Times An-An-Anganging.

Historically, the most famous usage of “Watching the World” was the anti-Vietnam War protesters outside the Chicago Democratic Conference in 1968. The protesters are right. The event is live broadcast by the U.S. network and is approached worldwide.

But like on Ghorman, the ending was not going well. The world’s observations did not stop the National Guard and Chicago PD from attacking with the club. And that didn’t stop Walter Cronkite, the most famous journalist in the United States, from apologizing on national television, and the Chicago mayor’s call on their security forces was obviously their business: the thug.

connect Ando Gilroy also aligns with the origins of Star Wars itself during the anti-Vietnam protests. Lucas, who will guide the tough Vietnam pictures Revelation Now Instead, before choosing his Space Fantasy Furious Project, the U.S. military who was completely intended to represent Vietnam – defeated by technically inferior forces.

As dark as “Who are you?” Yes, this is not the first genocide we have seen in what is often considered a child franchise. As Tony Gilroy points out, there are two incredible things about the original genocide Star Wars – Death Star annihilates the home of Princess Lea and the destruction of Death Star, millions of lives.

“You know, Alderaen doesn’t have a camera,” Gilroy pointed out bitterly. “I think that’s in line with our show – if you put your camera on the ground instead of in space, you’ll feel more.”
