    I like how Nemik ends off this part of his monologue by saying “Try”. It goes against Yoda’s famous line, “Do or Do not, there is no try.” I love this because the normal people of the galaxy are not Jedi, they can’t just channel the force and “do or do not”, they have to try.

      Spectacular use of an established franchise staple and twisting it to heighten the story of these characters and the Rebellion as a whole. I’ve never been so ready to be a Rebel until I watched Andor, actually made me feel the struggle and the compulsion to fight back.

      Both Yoda‘s do or do not, and Nemik’s try, are about taking things on faith. They are different aspects of faith, though. Yoda‘s exhortations to Luke are about the belief in one’s self, that you can achieve great things if you believe in your own capacity. Nemik’s to Cassian however are about the belief that you are not struggling alone, that there are other people out there doing their best as well. Both fit the characters, their place in the universe, and their story arcs.

Because freedom is natural and control is not. "Tyranny requires constant effort", so like a house of cards teetering in the wind, every nudge, even the slightest ones, contributes to its collapse. So instead of letting yourself be defeated before you even do anything, just try, and believe that your work is meaningful to the overall cause.

      Star Wars is at its strongest when it focuses on the people. Not the Force, not the Jedi and the Sith, not destiny: but those who live and struggle in this universe. The rebellion is at its rawest when it doesn’t have lightsabers or space ships or magic. Sometimes the rebellion is just someone with a brick, rage, and the will to live on.

    • @ODST_Parker

      It does kinda baffle me that an idea like this can leak out of an otherwise overtly political climate in today's media. Everything needs to have a message now, everything needs to call upon the "activists" of some social cause or some political extremism.
      Not this, at least not in the same way. This is pure and simple, do not let the system win over you. Fight to preserve life, liberty, and happiness. Do whatever it takes, even if it seems impossible.

    The best thing about this monologue is how it adds new context to the original trilogy. Luke Skywalker didn't save the galaxy single-handedly, rather he was the straw that broke the camel's back. The Empire was straining under the weight of a galaxy wide rebellion by the time of a New Hope, which allowed the actions of a single individual to tip the scales. If it weren't for the cumulative actions of the rebellion then there would be no "chosen one".

It's now hypothetically possible to bind photons together into pseudo-physical objects via quantum entanglement.

No matter whether they live or drown on the way out, they *succeeded* at breaking the Empire's grip on them. And that is what Nemik's manifesto - and so many other stories in the show - reinforces: that the day will come that all these skirmishes and battles will be too much for the Empire, and the dam will burst.

    Tony Gilroy (showrunner) is on record comparing Nemik to Trotsky - to a dialectic thinker, and an idealist. It's worth keeping in mind while watching the show, and I think a big part of why Andor hits so well. If you're a leftist or a socialist and felt like there was something familiar to the hope and struggle of the early rebellion there, you're not alone. Star Wars was always political - Lucas has said the Vietnamese were inspiration for his Rebellion. Try to remember that we are not alone, in a struggle against an old foe. Try.

      In the case of Nemik, his heart is in the right place. And he's a breath of fresh air in a galaxy supposedly without reason or ideology, frankly. But he may well have struggled with Cassian over theory vs practice, if he had lived.
