Star Wars Fans Are Calling Andor Episode 10 A Major Triumph

By Kofi Outlaw

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:

High Point for (Star Wars) TV

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.
