- TriviaThe prison world pays homage to the dystopian reality of George Lucas' USC student film THX 1138 (1971). Prisoners dressed in white, living a sterile existence, where their work gives them purpose.
- GoofsWhen the prison transport is approaching Narkina 5, the ship rolls to one side and the prisoners are seen reacting to this, yet the shoes they were forced to kick off earlier remain lying in the same place.
- Quotes
Colonel Wulff Yularen: This is quite the wishlist. Full planetary comnet, full Garrison tech package, Series Nine Spectrum surveillance, local agent funding, Code Droid.
Dedra Meero: All ready to go, sir. If someone there is talking, we need to be listening.
Colonel Wulff Yularen: It's a large investment.
Dedra Meero: It's a fraction of the price of lost technology.
Colonel Wulff Yularen: So drill down on Ferrix, find this thief, and then what?
Dedra Meero: Identify Axis. They escaped together. It's the first best lead we've had.
Major Partagaz: Supervisor Meero has convinced me that this Axis has been nimble in spreading his activities across the galaxy. And, no, we don't know who he is, nor do we know the scope of our problem. The little we are aware of is already troubling.
Dedra Meero: Ferrix was a mistake. It's the first one he's made. Drill down is exactly what I want to do, sir. Drill down, find Andor, and get a hunt started.

Episodes that slow down to flesh out new characters or just to add some more to the story tend to catch some heat. Surely a burst of violence or a riveting chase or cash grab are more interesting when we know who these people are. That has been said about Andor before and will be again.
It hasn't disappointed yet so maybe we can give it a chance before we write it off. We got a couple of big new names to hear about, one of them a complete surprise.
The Empire is a very well known entity but we have never been given more inside looks into how the uniforms think and feel about their status (and how to better it).
I'm sure the special effects will be back. Knowing more about these people is not a distraction.
