ANDOR EPISODE 6 REVIEW
Star Wars: Andor episode 6 “The Eye” is a series in which you expect the heist on the Imperial payroll to go horribly wrong. Surprisingly, the majority of the Rebel operations go according to plan. The insurgents manage to escape with the money. Thankfully, they don’t resort to killing the Imperial commandant’s family or innocent civilians. Three of these Rebels will die by the end of this episode. And not for the reasons you think. Andor has increased the pace slightly and brought with it a larger message: No one is safe.
Episode 6 contains plenty of references to classic sci-fi beats, even though Andor may be the most trope-busting Star Wars product. This episode features a stunning celestial event that happens only once every few years. It is also accompanied by some pretty generic local religious pilgrims who consider this moment sacred. The local color is actually literal. When TIE fighters chase Cassian and his gang out of the Imperial base, the bright green-blue sky stands out against the muted shades of the rest of this episode (and previous episodes). Star Wars’ visual story has a long history of being influenced by aesthetic choices. However, this episode is almost like a signal that something is different. The splash of color at the end of the episode shows that it’s over.
If you aren’t sure about the pace of Andor, this episode will convince you otherwise. The heist ends with the death of Taramyn, an ex-stormtrooper and rebel (Gershwyn E. Eustache Jr.). This is a tragic loss that seems a bit implausible from a plot perspective, considering what’s next. Cassian lifts the stolen ship into the sky. A bunch of cargo crashes into Nemik (Alex Lawther). This, later, makes it seem that he is also dying.
Nemik is being treated (in vain), but Skeen (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), suggests to Andor that they take the 80 million credits they have been helping from the Rebels and split it 50-50. Skeen tells Andor that his previous episode’s sob story was bogus and that he only wants to steal the money. Instead of handing Skeen to Vel (Faye Marsay), Cassian slams him, and then uses his original cut 30,000 credits to take the doctor’s ship. Cassian and Skeen both wanted to walk away from the job, but the difference was that Cassian was much cheaper.
ANDOR EPISODE 6: ENDING EXPLAINED
Skeen, Vel and Andor are left with two choices after they escape the Tie Fighters. One, they could let Nemik die and take the payroll to the spot where it needs to be delivered in order to obtain resources. Two, take Nemik to the doctor. This is a deviation from their mission. Then they continue with their plan. Andor makes the decision for the entire team and asks Skeen if he can direct him to the doctor to save Nemik. While Vel watches, Doctor Quadpaw (Aidan Cook), begins treating Nemik. Skeen informs Andor outside the operating hut that the freighter has eighty million Imperial credits. They can split the money in two ways and then leave.
Andor goes to the operating room and discovers that Nemik died after the failed operation. Quadpaw asks him to give him his ship, so he can escape. He informs them Skeen was going to betray Vel, and that he’s now dead. Vel expresses her disgust at the situation and tells Andor that Taramyn warned her. Andor surprised her by telling her that he would take the promised amount (200,000 credits) as well as whatever is in the freighter. Andor even returns the Khyber crystal to Vel, telling her to pass it along to Rael (Stellan Skarsgard). He could have kept the crystal with him if he were a fiend and given it away for more money. No. Andor shows that he’s not dishonorable, and that he’s willing to honor his end of the bargain.

Major Partagaz (Anton Lesser), calls an emergency meeting. He informs everyone that no one will be going home that night, and that he needs every Star Sector plan and Planetary Retaliation plan prepared for presentation by midnight. This is the signal that the news about the attack on Aldhani Garrison has reached Coruscant. The news is so shocking that Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly), stops her speech to the Senate to take a look at the information. Rael receives the information from a customer who informs him about the attack on Aldhani Garrison. He goes into his storage area to breathe a sigh of relief, believing that the Rebels had succeeded. Is it a success? Andor is most likely on the run. The only survivors are Vel and Cinta. Vel is stuck on a moon with Nemik’s and Skeen’s bodies, and the payroll. She can’t fly so she is stuck on a freighter. Cinta is stuck in Aldhani. She must moonlight as an Aldhani officer or pilgrim.
HOW DO THE REBELS GET THE HEIST?
Lt. Gorn (Sule Rimi), actually in cahoots with the rebels, makes certain to move the chess pieces in a manner that allows the group to infiltrate the area in the quietest possible way. It works most of the time, with Cinta, Vel and Commander Petigar being able to jam Imperial communications while the others are able to ambush Jayhold, Commander Petigar and their families and hold them at gunpoint. Petigar points a gun towards Nemik in an attempt to win the upper hand. However, the group quickly shoots him to send a message that they aren’t playing around and intend to leave with all the loot.
Jayhold is told by Cassian and two other men to allow them to access the Imperial payroll. Jayhold threatens his family’s safety to force Jayhold into cooperation. He tries to bluff but eventually gives in. Cassian must also be coerced by the Imperial guards to load the shipments onto the Imperial freighter.
