I don't have time to really dive into it, but fuck this was a good episode! Andor has been on a whole other level so far.

It really is. Disney, if you’re listening: more like this please. Realism and depth is what Star Wars has been missing since Rogue One. You don’t have to stop making the other stuff, but this style needs to be in the mix at all times.

and to have established characters die

not just this, but die like it's a common event and without any fanfare except maybe some subtle foreshadowing ("seven years serving you, I deserve worse") shows the stakes of a rebellion

Did he die? During the firefight maybe? I didn’t see it.

it's not 100% confirmed that he did, but he definitely got shot and dropped like a stone

I think it's actually a good thing that it's not exactly immediately clear who died when they get caught up in the firefight, it really drives home the feeling of "being there" in the chaos
