I don't know how to swim

[OSHIROmodels]

Yeah, does that mean he’ll appear again as it was quite abrupt.

[Dags]

Gut feeling is that that was his goodbye. But I'm usually wrong.

Absolutely brilliant episode this week - I think the series has improved dramatically as it has progressed.

OSHIROmodels - I presume we will be seeing the prison in 28mm soon?!

Not soon but at some point because I'm weak

Well I finally got around to watching it, love it!! The prison episode was just amazing!!!  I’m actually liking it more than the mandolorian…..

I also like how the ruthlessness of the Empire is increasing as the series progresses, setting the justification for later developments such as the Death Star and planetary annihilation as a legitimate tactic.

Made me laugh...

Good one!

Overall I liked the episode, but I had a few nits to pick. The entire goal of the prison break was just to swim for it! What about seizing a ship or something else? How did they know there’d be any land to reach? This could have been an ocean world like Kimino and then they would have been screwed (or eaten by some aquatic creature!). Also, Luthen’s speech at the end seemed a bit empty to me - maybe a little too rehersed?

You can see when Cassian is being transported there that there is land in the background. I would imagine ships are kept off site just in case of such a scenario.

As to Luthen's speech, he's possibly had to do it a few times to other agents so it's probably wearing a bit thin for him now.

How did they know there’d be any land to reach?

They probably spotted it at their approach when shipped to the facility or actually spotted it from the balcony when they reached it... 

Luthen’s speech at the end seemed a bit empty to me 

That's because he hadn't anything to tell. He was simply pressed by Cassian to do it.

The whole prison break story was probably told only to stall Andor for the Empire to catch up...

Ok, I hadn't spotted the land in the background.

I know that I'm overthinking this, but why then did the Empire put the sea prison close enough to any land that escaping prisoners could swim there? Why not put it a further from the nearest shore? Or on a pure ocean planet like Kimino?

That's because he hadn't anything to tell. He was simply pressed by Cassian to do it.

Are you getting Kino mixed up with Luthen?
