Season 2 "Andr" begins with a bang-twist of an experimental new model of combat struggles, exposure to torn from the exhibition of the Empire of undocumented agricultural workers, and perhaps the only worst brain session you will ever see. The last scene-the most secret a secret meeting led by Orson Krnnick (Ben Mendelson-is about the planet Gomor, which the Empire intends to pass the smell to the point of the global collapse in order to extract the resource necessary for the Superlass Reactor.

Working on the sidelines of the Crnnick's genocidal scheme is a line that can only be read as deliberate referral to Emperor Sixev Palpatin (Ian McDiamide). Specifically, OT is one of his most notorious lines of Mem The disappointing trilogy to retrain "Starwell War". While describing the Empire's "Energy Initiative", the Home Story of the "Mortal Starwar" project, Crnnick highlights Palpatine's special interest in the program. "I met the emperor yesterday," says Crnnick. "He suggested that I remind you that the energy initiative remains the central part of his agenda. Access to stable, unlimited power will transform the galactic economy and strengthen the imperial government."

That's right, power. Unlimited power. That is one of the most famous lines of palpatinHe was screaming at the top of the lungs in the "Revenge of Sit", while he explained Mace Windu (Samuel L. Acksekson) with the force of lightning. It is true there with "I'm the Senate" - talked only a few moments before in the same scene - in terms of iconic status. Listening to it spoken by Crennick at the board meeting is a kind of funny, but it is also deeply haunting. The reference reveals something that the "war on the Starwalks" does not show very often, and that is just how much comprehensive imperial policy is influenced by the perverted SIT -Palpatine's faithful.

Although Palpatine has not appeared in Andor (at least not yet), his impact on the empire machines is visible. Crennic's "unlimited power" reference makes it look like the language comes directly from the emperor itself and serves a reminder that not only the "mortal star" project is important, but the idea of ​​reaching unlimited, armed power is the essential principle of its existence.

In Old Extended Universe, now known as Non-Canonic Legends of Starwells WarSIT Superverses similar to the death Starwar The years of the old republic. Some of those stories have even tried to get into the contemporary canon in different ways. In other words, the Starval of Death is not just a big gun. It is a symbol of the type of power that the doctrine of SIT turns around, an ideology where power is the only most important attribute.

It is easy to write off the personal influence of palpatine on the daily work of the empire. It is a huge, galactic apparatus with too much waving for a little frog to follow them. But this one -off, almost joke line of Crnic hides the truth of the impact of palpatine. The deity of cruelty, the ways of violence, the seizure of power - these major institutional goals are also personal religious beliefs of palpatin. Listening to it is so directly related to the "Death Starwar" project, highlighting cosmic evil that is already evident in the genocidal plans of the Empire.
