DOH! You're right!  :o

Very interesting pew-pew it is too.
And who knew slightly modified river trolls could make it to Star Wars?
But the highlight for me was the presence (however brief) of a Quad Jumper, a favourite of mine; I was sad it only appeared for seconds in the last trilogy.

I think I have spotted a continuity error though: there were handrails in the prison factory! Doesn't that go against Imperial design standards?  :D

They made the flying sat receiver feel darn menacing for a bit there, very well done.

I wasn't entirely sold ol the pew pew. Sure it felt "earned" at this point and I suppose it shows us something about luthien and what he is capable of, but parts of his tricks felt very toy gimick to me.

There are rumours going around that he's a former Jedi.

As my friend pointed it out, there were handrails at the Imperial facility on Aldhani as well. So at least the show itself is consistent.
Maybe the no handrails policy came later to cut down costs.  lol

Yea, first there wass the kyber crystal he gave to Andor, then when he was frisked before his second meeting with Saw, the object they took off him looked like some kind of light sabre, but the red beams coming out the side of his ship make me think he's a dark sider.

I loved the pew pew scenes! 8)

And also the fact that Luthen's Haulcraft turns out to be the illigitimate lovechild of the Millennium Falcon and a TIE Striker. She may be small, but she's got it where it counts...
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Good point, I missed that! By the time Rogue One events took place they seem to have started that economy drive.  lol

I think Luthen's ship just has beam lasers (plenty of them about) but I think more 'chaff' would've been good. Either that or some sort of 'Deathblossom'.

but parts of his tricks felt very toy gimick to me.

I can see what you mean but a lot of Star Wars can be considered that way. I just hope there will be more kits available as there's been a real dearth of quality stuff for the past few years.

You aren't wrong, but spinning around with a beam laser projecting out the sides to slice ties in half was the first time this series I went "oh, right, I'm watching starwars" in a negative way. The darts getting launched from the back made more sense to me, great against pursuit and I imagine it could be fired without "weapon systems activated" sensors on the pursuer going off.
Its not terrible, it just didn't fit the overall vibe of the series for me.

Dont get me wrong, I really hope the fondor gets a x-wing model as I'm doing a 6mm starwars project and I'd love to have it on the table on a desolate landing pad.

My take on the was that it used the tractor beam's own power against it. So it wouls appear inert on any kind of scan. That's why he gunned the Fondor's power to get the Imperial ship to increase its tractor beam power. Once he let the chaff out it went straight for the tractor projecter.

Wow

Try

How long have we go to wait for season 2 - too long that's for sure
