You know I said a few months ago that Andor was so good it made me re-evaluate my opinion on the Mandalorian. I guess the showrunners felt the same way because that last episode reeks hard of them trying and FAILING to do political intrigue.
Just putting aside the fact that every single person in the "Amnesty Program" should have faced a firing squad: whose bright fucking idea was it to house them all together???? "Oh golly gee wiz, let's just stuck a whole bunch of space fascists and collaborators in a tiny little neighborhood. Surely nothing will go wrong!!!" I suppose its technically canonical that the new republic is incompetent as shit given how things play out with the first order but sheesh guys.
Just stick to what you know guys. More pew pew and vroom vroom. Leave the political drama to the adult writers in the room. You will never ever be as good as Andor....and that is OK.
Sure, but thay gets to my point. Like it or not I can accept that in this shit continuity the rebels basically just propped up an identical system of government to what ultimately led to the fucking problem...but for what that character is saying to be coherent here it would basically mean that there wasn't a massive purge of the imperial officer class. The way the amnesty program is represented in the episode makes no sense without that...and thats not something even a rich and well to do character like this could just shrug off like that if only because that's how you get thrown in the hauge! You cant have it both ways.
