Star Wars Fans Are Calling Andor Episode 10 A Major Triumph

Andor Episode 10 is getting a big reaction from viewers, with many calling it a triumph for not just Star Wars TV, but 2022 television, in general. Andor’s latest episode, “One Way Out” was a the major culmination of the Prison Arc that has been running through the show since Episode 7. The inmates of Narkina 5 turned their desperation into hope by staging a major prison break after years being cowed and coerced into indentured servitude for the Empire. And it was the type of edge-of-your-seat thriller that fans expect from showrunner (and Rogue One director) Tony Gilroy.

Breakout highlights of Andor Episode 10 seem to include the performance of Andy Serkis as Kino Loy; the overall production and direction of the prison break sequence; while Stellan Skarsgård’s Luthen Rael and Genevieve O’Reilly’s Mon Mothma continue to be scene-stealers as Star Wars fans get a deeper (and much darker) sense of the sacrifices it cost to form the Rebel Alliance.

Here’s a sampling of what fans are saying after Andor Episode 10:

Andor Episode 10 covered and ensemble of character stories of different kinds, in different locations, and they were all superb for every minute of its runtime.

Total Triumph

#Andor episode 10 is an absolute triumph and Andy Serkis proves that he's an absolute powerhouse (again). His chilling speech, and that whole sequence just gets what Star Wars is about.

AND it's bookended by an equally stunning monologue from Stellan Skarsgard.

Seriously, Andor leaves you more thrilled and emotionally taxed as any show on HBO ever has.

PERFECTION.

#Andor episode 10 is perfection. Harrowing yet uplifting, this story of heroes and the rebellion countered with the tyranny of the Empire makes for what is outstanding television.

As you can see, Cassian Andor’s musings have a habit of becoming some of the infectious words of dialogue spoken in Star Wars.

#Andor ep 10 – Luthen’s private speech this episode 10 was some of the BEST dialogue I have ever heard in Star Wars (best acting as well) it stated & implied so much; even timeline to the trauma that brought them there, yet left us with even more questions about him and his past pic.twitter.com/y1jIShvgWy

Luthen Rael’s monologue at the end of Andor Episode 10, about what sacrifices he is, has, and will make for the Rebellion is an instant classic. And it will haunt us until the end of our days.

Adult Swimming: A PSA

Also aside from its god-tier acting and scripting, migraine-inducing tension and everything else it smashed out of the park: episode 10 might be the single greatest advert for adult swim lessons ever made. #Andor pic.twitter.com/pLL2ldRiWO

This shot is glorious – just one of many creative highlights in Andor Episode 10.

THE M.U.P.

“Most Underrated Player” is about the only nickname Andor needs.

High Point for (Star Wars) TV

#Andor episode 10 One Way Out is not only a high point for the series but for Star Wars and for tv. One of the most riveting, brilliantly written, well acted and across the board intense hours of television I’ve ever seen. Andor episode in10se. pic.twitter.com/CYqEN0i7F9

At this point, it’s crazy that we even have to still distinguish Andor as something greater than the bubble of “Star Wars TV.” It’s just great TV. Period.
