A thought on THAT Luthen scene at the end of episode 10

I’ve been thinking a lot about Luthen’s monologue at the end of ep 10, and one thing really sticks out to me as an example of how great these writers are. After Lonni’s request to quit the Rebellion is denied, he asks Luthen “and what do you sacrifice?” Now, as soon as I heard that, I assumed Luthen’s response would be a long pause followed by dramatically saying “everything.” Based on all the TV/films I’ve seen over the years, it feels like a lot of writers would’ve gone for something similarly simplistic. And it would've been a perfectly good line. But not Andor. Instead, we get an absolutely chilling monologue on the unimaginable price that must be paid for rebellion, one that simultaneously paints Luthen as both a tragic and terrifying figure. It's only then that he finally hits us with the expected “everything," but now, we know EXACTLY what a vague term like "everything" actually means to him. Props to Beau Willimon, Tony Gilroy and the rest of the writers, because most fans don't require top tier dialogue to enjoy Star Wars and yet here they are giving it to us every single week. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/M3tTzVL
