ANDOR Episode 10 Breakdown THE BEST EPISODE YET

Starting this episode off, we don’t skip a beat as we see Cassian and Kino speak to one another in private, where Cassian is pushing Kino to cooperate with him and rebel tomorrow. They know that this place isn’t about serving a sentence, but rather working until death. Cassian believes they’re afraid, that’s why thye fried 100 men on that bridge, Kino thinks it’s power. Cassian convincese him otherwise and explains that power doesn’t panic and kill off a bridge. He says he’d rather die trying to take them down than die giving them what they want.
You can see the inner turmoil within Kino, and as Cassian enters his cell block, he informs all the other inmates of what is really happening at the prison. Kino finally joins in and explains everything in his own words, he’s on board, and believes it’s time to attack tomorrow.
The crew wakes up as they succesffully tick off another day, but this time it doesn’t matter. Kino says to his men he’s assuming he’s already dead. They have nothing to lose and its go time. They get to work as usual, another day at the office.

We head to coruscant where mon mothma and her friend Tay meet with the crooked rich banker Davo Sculdun from chandrilla. We learn that the marriages of chandrillans aren’t set on love between two people, but rather arranged marriages based on a couple’s parents. We now see why Mon Mothma has such a constant disagreement with her husband and why her marriage life is terrible.
Davo basically says he wants no payment for his involvement with her charity, but he has one request. To set up his 14 year old son with her daughter. An arranged marriage, the way of the chandrilans. Mon Mothma is disgusted and tells him he needs to leave. It seems she might be thinking about the offer, but I don’t think that’s the case. She doesn’t seem the type to offer her daughter for a tradition she doesn’t believe in, so that she can fund the rebellion with some slimey rich guy.

As Luthen and his assisstant Kleya speak, we see him fixing something that looks to be similar to padme’s head piece from episode 1 without the fake hair on it. Next to it was a jedi temple guard mask, or what seemed to resemble it from the back.
Kleya tells him there are signs and clues around the city as to someone wanting to have a meeting with Luthen. She thinks it’s a trap and he doesn’t seem to care.

The crew get to work as Kino continues the mantra, one way out, a very powerful line in this episode that moves all the men. There is only one option, and only one way out to survive. The clock is ticking and they must all work together.
As a new inmmate is heading to the work floor, Cassian uses his makeshift shiv to cut the water pipe, hoping to cause a flood that would blow the fuse used to operate the electric floor.

As the new inamte is lowered, Cassian successfully breaks the pipe causing a flood to build, they all nod at one another and they know it’s about to go down. As the prisoner is lowered, a few of the men cause a distraction by faking a fight. Cassian jams the lift with the guard on board and they all begin to attack. It ends with the crew throwing pipes and metal objects at the outnumbered guards, short circuiting the electrical floor when activated due to the water, and then escaping to a higher level, grabbing blasters along the way.

The crew make their way to different levels and make it known a rebellion has begun in the prison. They gather in numbers, get to the main control room on level 8, and take the guards hostage, ordering them to cut power to the entire station which can take months to start up again. They open every door and cell, deactivate all harmful floors and Kino makes a moving speech to the entire facility. Letting them all know that the inmates are in charge now, the guards are outnumbered, and that this place isn’t a jail to serve a sentence, it’s a place to work on what they want built and then to die.
Whatever they’re building, they want kept a secret. I think it has to do with the death star, as if information got out on the death star being built, palpatine would have a lot to answer for. Imagine a planet killer being built in secret. It wouldn’t end well for the Empire. There would be a rebellion like they’ve never seen before, and without the power of the technological terror, Palpatine would be overthrown.
