Most things worth mentioning have been praised here already, better than I could, just one thing haven't seen referenced .
It's been a while (3 years?) since I watched episode one, I remember much of what happened to Andor's home planet and original culture, was left somewhat unsaid and unresolved.
Though the implication apparently the Empire was exploiting and extracting the planets wealth, the miners subjugated and wiped out in Imperial mining "disaster", that killed all the adults, children left for dead, to survive on their own. With the planet placed under Imperial prohibition, visited only by scavengers.
Now, without ever referencing it directly, listening to Krennik's plans for Ghorman, extracting what they need at any cost, instantly brought me full circle, I imagine was meant to fill in that narrative gap, and invoke that imagery again, the brutal cycle that created Andor to begin with.
Just thought that was brilliant.
