I’m Thinking A Lot About How Andor As A Show Opposes A Lot Of The Ideas Of The Jedi Code, And I’ve

I’m thinking a lot about how Andor as a show opposes a lot of the ideas of the Jedi code, and I’ve seen a few people put their thoughts on the lines about trying, so I thought I’d toss my brain in the ring

“Do or do not, there is no try”: a 1983 message about motivation and taking control of your own motivation and purpose. Do nothing by half measure, you have to have intent to succeed or you’ll never make it. In a movie that has been officially stated to be anti-war commentary about the protests against the Vietnam war, it makes sense that this would have a double meaning for viewers. Given by a wise old master to a young man as passing along wisdom.

“Remember this: try”: a 2022 message in a time where way more people feel absolutely hopeless about the state of the world. No matter how dismal you think it might be, you can make a chip against the despair in the world. If you just try a little, make an effort, it will help. In a show that’s blatantly anti fascist and anti capitalist, it’s clearly meant to be a message that just a little does something, even if it all seems futile. Said by a young rebel in a manifesto that he’s writing against the fist of the Empire.

Obviously this is a good amount of nonsense, it’s currently past 2 am and I’m kinda rambling, but my god. My god. This show has taken over my mind entirely

I don't think Nemik's "Try" is an attack or rebuttal of Yoda's "Do or do not, there is no try", because both statements are in response to two different situations. One addresses the skills of the person, and the other addresses the outcome of the action on the greater whole.

Nemik challenges the learned helplessness of people living under oppression and the perceived futility of rebellion. He claims that even small acts of rebellion are meaningful, because they add up to a larger whole. He says "try" even when you don't know if what you do matters, because you need to be able to believe that others are doing the same.

Yoda (and the Jedi) is concerned with conviction. It is about giving up or failing because you can't commit to a decision you've made. It is about individual doubt of skill. He says "do not try" because you have to believe that you yourself are capable of doing it.

Both are about belief: one in yourself, and one in others.

Yoda and Nemik would have loved talking to each other I think.

I usually don’t like to judge shows before they even come out. But at the same time, for what reason did they not add comic Morpheus’s eyes.

Like you can’t tell me a fan flim was able to make Morpheus look like this:

I Usually Don’t Like To Judge Shows Before They Even Come Out. But At The Same Time, For What Reason

And Netflix with their much bigger budget couldn’t done that.

@caelum-in-the-avatarverse I love Tuan, and he, for some reason, reminds me of this meme.

How is it possible that The Endless have parents when they came into existence once first sentient lifeforms were capable of having their aspects?

Because there was Night, and then there was Time, before there were any sentient things.

Hawks Villain Report TLs

Since some people asked and I wanted to practice translating again. Thanks for requesting!

As usual, please do not repost these in other sites without my permission. If someone really wants to typeset this, please refer to DMs. 

Also weirdly, this report uses “individuality” instead of “quirks” for some reason. I guess they didn’t reference the EN localization lol.

“Also Ra’s was drawn like a gilf, so that’s a bonus.” I 100% agree with everything you said, and this statement especially.

Okay Robin #4 was such a good ass issue and I REALLY appreciate what it did to Ra’s al Ghul. I think we as a fandom don’t really talk about how over the years Ra’s has been turned into a boring one-dimensional genocidal psychopath the same way we do with talking about Talia, since obviously with Talia it was a drastic 180 degree change/character butchering, while with Ra’s has always been a villain so the change wasn’t as noticeable with him, but this issue and the whole run so far have seriously reminded me that all of the al Ghuls work better and are far more entertaining as morally-ambiguous characters rather than straight-up evil villains.

Also Ra’s was drawn like a gilf, so that’s a bonus.
