Alexa Lexie | ANDOR || rampant. @AlexaLexie | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 hour ago
I know it's a weird and unusual song choice, I’m sorry! But this song pretty much captured what I wanted to go with for this edit, so I couldn’t pass on it :P just saying this in advance because I have a feeling I'm going to get bashed for it :/
“I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see... the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror, or an audience, or the light of gratitude.”
There are many themes explored in Andor, some darker than others. I’m more drawn to those darker themes, the darker side of rebellion, and what it takes. Other Star Wars content doesn’t show this grim side as often, which makes sense, since the typical themes of Star Wars are centered around hope and family.
These people aren’t the faces of the rebellion. Ordinary people. Some of them are at the bottom of the barrel. They will never be recognized for what they’ve done. They make sacrifices no one will know about, and if they die for it, no one will know their names. But they have to believe enough in the cause to fight anyway, regardless of the fact that it may be useless.
It’s the courage that spreads like wildfire, trickles through the masses, ensuing chaos. And that’s what I really wanted to show, too. All the chaos of a rampant rebellion. I absolutely love how the water trickles down to the other units because it’s like a visual, physical representation of the uprising reaching the rest of the prisoners. But instead of spreading like “fire," it's spread by water droplets, which I found interesting. Maybe it’s because fire, no matter how small the flame is, can still inflict harm. On the other hand, a small droplet of water isn’t dangerous. It’s completely harmless. But a real body of water, like a dam of water, or a tsunami? That can cause some serious damage. A water droplet is harmless. A tsunami is. Idk, that’s my analysis of it I guess.
I also love how realistic Andor is in how terrified people are. How Vel was stalling, ready to back out of the heist because she knew there’d be no turning back. How that prisoner’s hand is shaking before the prison break attempt. It’s a kind of fear that’s paralyzing, and it takes a lot of guts to push through.
Another thing: Something I’ve noticed with Cassian is that, in some way, he inspired the uprisings in this show. He was the one who pushed for the prison break. He’s one of the main reasons why they made it out of that “bank heist” alive, and that they were able to pull it off. And being a part of that heist, Cassian had indirectly inspired Maarva, which led her to make that holographic speech to the crowd at her funeral, then inspiring people to fight back. It just makes so much sense that in Rogue One, he was able to rally up enough crew to help Jyn get the Death Star plans. He’s not one to give inspirational speeches, but he is able to bring people together in an indirect, subtle way. And that’s why I think Maarva called him the “...first spark of the fire.”
Hope you guys enjoy! Hopefully... :’))
