Kleya: They want to rewrite the story.
[Opinion: somewhat off topic but this is where the Rebellion uses disinformation despite that being the tool of evil, which is another major theme.]

Upon re-watching the Luthen speech I realize he explicitly states, "I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy." Is Gilroy here implying he views the corporate media giants as his enemies, and by creating Andor he is using their tools against them?

This is amusing. She talks about how she was born with a frowning face and her mother used to tell her to smile. When she got the part of Dedra, she sent a photo of her frowning to her mother saying See? It got me this role.

Note: The only version available in the US is the 2009 version. Obviously the updated version including Andor is not yet available in the US.

GREAT.  That explains the initial scene of Brasso and others getting off an elevator from the breakdown area at the top of the cliff.

I didn't realize that the top of Narkina5 was a landing pad for imperial ships. I pretty much guess the rest. Such a wealth of information on these publications. Such detail. Thanks for sharing.
