Very, very short episode where nothing happens.. you're right about it being forgettable, haha. But a rewatch is certainly worth it, so thanks for giving it another watch! Yeah, there's nothing huge going on with the plot here; you have the introduction to Maarva, Tim being a little snitch, the Empire patrol coming after Andor and Skarsgard's character coming to Ferrix. It's very slow, with just a few pieces moving forward, but it's definitely setting the scene for the next episode.. Great observations on Tim/Bix too. Tim is very paranoid and insecure about his relationship, especially with Cassian coming into the picture - but obviously that hardly validates him to nose on her life, and then tip off the Empire! And Bix is almost too into her work. I think Tim is her co-worker as well, so it's fine that he's managing the shop too.. but a balance wouldn't be a bad thing! Indeed, the leader of Cassian's tribe(?) was killed by the ship survivors -- with the lack of any adults, she seemed to be the oldest, so she was likely a parental figure to them... You're right in everything being a mystery, haha. It's an immense slow build, but thankfully the majority of the pieces do get developed as we go. Also, love that breakdown-drum version of the main theme at the end of the episode.. it's a really nice change from the usual John Williams orchestra. Great reaction/discussion, thanks for re-checking this ep!
