Today, we talk about Dedra doing things the right way to gain access to the various ISB resources that she needed to do her job in Episode 7!

I was shocked by how engaging this ISB office drama was. This is scene is literally a bunch of people sitting around a table and I’m hanging on every word.

[tophercaesar]

I get that the ISB and Empire are doing bad things. But can we take a moment to recognize how much of a good manager Major Partagaz is. He slaps down overreach where necessary, promotes good work, willing to adapt his own system, recognizes petty politics and praises when appropriate.

They made three people arguing about their job as intense and gripping as whole rebel trying to destroy a plenet killer. They're doing a great job.

[bryanwills]

The delivery of "thesis please" is just perfect

[Davao]

This is my favorite scene in the season so far. Shows the Empire was run by highly competent and intelligent people. And the dialogue, my god.

[brandoncarbaugh]

Partagaz is fucking scary, because he's actually an incredibly capable leader you'd be thrilled to work for in any other context, except the context here is "perfecting a system of galaxy-wide fascist totalitarian oppression". He has a warm grandfatherly quality that contrasts so wonderfully to the archetype he's filling. He's like like if Mr. Feeny ran the Stasi.

“Do you mind having your integrity ventilated in public?” Damn, that’s a turn of phrase 😎

[iHusk]

They could literally just do a show of Imperial meetings of various "historical" events and I'd watch the hell out it.

[The_DA]

"Thesis, please..." This is my favorite part of this exchange. Partagaz's little smirks and eyebrow raises are done to perfection. You can really tell he's digging all of this.

“Thesis, please”
God, this writing is HBO-caliber

I love how you can see the excitement in Partagaz's face when Dedra says "Systems are either change or die"

[zachv]

I love how you can hear Dedra’s stress while speaking, it gives a whole level of realism to her acting.

[DakOrks]

Dedra Meero is a terrifying character. If more Imperials were like her, the rebellion would have been crushed easily.

[BadAnalogy]

I like how Partagaz isn’t just another complacent careerist as is often the case with these elderly superiors in fiction. He cares about getting the job done and listens to his subordinates very carefully, while trying not to play favourites. Excellent leadership qualities.

[DanSolo]

Anton Lesser is doing an amazing job as Partagaz. So much of the acting in this series is worth Emmy nominations.

[SobaOfPulaski]

Andor showed the Empire in a way that most Star Wars content dares not show it as: Competent, scarily competent.

The ISB is the definition of Imperial Efficiency and Competency. And its beautiful to see how they weren’t afraid to show that in this show.

[Xelpherpolis]

Someone needs to make a gif out of "Thesis, please?" I would use it _constantly._

[chrisaguilera]

One thing. Dedra is not a Mary Sue. She actually works for her commission, nothing is given to her. That how to write a strong female character that everyone can respect.

[szarvaskoppany]

Partagaz is a rare kind of old authority figure. He basically says "do you have data to back you up? In that case I'm willing to listen to you." Ready to challenge you, eager to be challenged. Not just a leader, a teacher too.

So neither a sort of overexcited hypeguy who always takes anything that's new nor an old conservative type of guy who writes a book and wants everything done by that book. An organisation that has this type of leaders everywhere is a terrifying one.


On a personal note I LOVE every face he makes when he is being intellectually challenged, I want to see that face of curiosity on every high authority figure.

[merdiolu]

This amazing show is like a Star Wars EU novel came to life ! The characters are well developed, multilayered, complex and have logical motivations as well as strengths and flaws. Actions have consequences that could not be taken back. There is a great continuety. I love it. Please make this production at least three seasons Disney.
