The title of the episode is about the harm the empire carelessly visits upon the poor and working class of the galaxy. We first heard it referenced here [clip]. This is after Andor and Skeen are talking about their experiences in juvie, where Skeen was processed and tattooed by the empire. This of course is inspired by the numbers that the Nazis tattooed onto Jews during hte holocaust. It’s a way of saying, you’re not a person, you’re a thing. Skeen’s tattoo is even like a barcode, a way of showing that–to the empire–when was aunty to be scanned and processed, and not a real person.

Because they regard him so lowly, the Imperials at that ropison would never remember Skeen–but he remembers them. The ax can scar a thousand trees, and won’t remember any of them. But the tree will never forget its scars, and its memory is centuries old. This metaphor hits home later in the episode, when Skeen reveals that his brother was a tree farmer [venturis of them]. And that his farm was carelessly taken away by an Imperial prefect, who just wanted the wealth and resources provided by the farm–and didn;t care about the people or history of the place.

This show is really something new in Star wars. It’s not filled with constant member berries–it’s about characters with very relatable motivations, and I think everyone can identify with the struggles of these characters.

And there are still lots of easter eggs in the episode that I’m going to break down for you. So let’s go.

One of the most obvious easter eggs is in the first scene, with Syril waking up in his childhood bedroom, where he still has the action figures from his youth. [you see these in his last scene]

This is in his mother’s apartment in coruscant. As we saw a couple episodes ago, the apartment is on the lower levels–and in coruscant society, the further you are from the sun, the poorer you get. This is why the criminal element hangs out on the ground level like we saw in the attack of the clones. You know, like bounty hunters, people who sell death sticks, and the worst element of all–sports bars.

So when Syril watches a sunrise, he’s actually watching the sun’s reflection of the tall buildings–a way of saying that he is far away from any kind of success–he can only see a reflection off the success of others. Later in the episode he stares at another source of light–the holo of Cassian Andor, the man who ruined his life.

At breakfast, his mom treats him like a child who’s been sent home from school. She pours him what looks like coca pugs,and dna dd sin some blue milk. Like the famous blue milk the lars family drank on tatooine [blue harvest, luke come get some blue milk].

At least I hope this is blue milk, and not spotchka. There’s also a melon fruit on the table, like we first saw in Star Wars rebels.

His mother is named Eedy, and she’s played by the great Kathryn Hunter. I saw her once as Puck in Julie Yamor’s midsummer night’s dream, and it was great. It’s streaming, you should watch it [puck clip, I’ll find].

Anyways, Eedy is full on babying her son, while they’re also guilt tripping each other about not visiting. It’s all very normal stuff, but it’s showing us who Syril is. He is something who is trying to break away from home, to prove that he is his own man. And yet his mom is emasculating him, treating him like a child, and handing over his future decisions to Uncle Harlo [and what did uncle harlo say I should do].

This is all setting up that he is going to become obsessed with hunting down Cassian, the Javier to his Jena val jean. Capturing Cassian is not a way for him to fix his career–but it will prove his manhood. In other words, it’s become personal for him. Just like the fight against the empire has become personal, the lieutenant has gone after the empire killed the woman he loved. Syirl will go after Cassian because capturing him is a way for him to prove his manhood. And that makes his pursuit all the more relentless and dangerous.
