Andor doesn’t have a lot of the typical Star Wars-y hallmarks, but when it goes for it—like the brief, but dazzling escape Luthen makes from an Imperial cruiser that stops him on the way back from Saw’s base is up there as one of the franchise’s greatest little space battles. The Fondor’s flechette-barrage shredding the tractor beams of the Imperial ship, the side-mounted laser beams to slice through incoming TIEs… it’s another layer to Luthen’s mysteries, and just an incredible action scene.
