Bix is among the major characters who won’t go on to “Rogue One” or other existing “Star Wars” stories. “Andor” lets her complete her emotional arc with a tear-jerking but well-earned set of scenes.“The last speech, I still haven’t been able to watch it,” she told the AP. “I was a mess! It took me takes and takes of me absolutely just bawling through that scene until finally it gets to what I believe they used.”
The show’s revolutionary leaders, just as those in history have done, try to take their followers’ trauma, and their own, and use it to drive the movement.Saw Gerrera, the radical rebel played by Forest Whittaker who has a key role (and one less leg) in “Rogue One,” gave a call-to-arms in a recent episode that is already being celebrated among fans as the “revolution is not for the sane” speech. The theme: pain as power.He tells a young prospective follower about his youthful enslavement in a brutal imperial work camp, and the toxic leak there of a fuel called rhydo.
“They worked us naked. Two, three hundred men. Boys really. Back and forth until the only thing you could remember was back and forth. Then one day, everyone started to itch. Everyone, all at once. Even the guards. You could feel your skin coming alive,” Saw says, his raspy voice rising. “It was the rhydo. They had a leak.”He tells the young man, “We’re the rhydo, kid. We’re the fuel.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — As an Indiana native, Eric Shanks can’t remember exactly when the rite of passage began of traveling to Indianapolis Motor Speedway. His first

There have only been four rematches in the Final since 1968.
“I don’t think there’ll be any weeding out or wading into that series,” Demers said. “I think it’s going to be gun shot, explosions right off the bat.”Going down two games to none last year led to McDavid’s profanity-laced outburst in the locker room, a moment caught on cameras that wasn’t quite enough to turn around the series. The memory of going down 3-0, clawing back to cross the continent again for a Game 7 and not winning is still fresh in his mind.
The Oilers have been through that trip to the final and feel the pain now, something the Panthers endured before winning. Now it’s time to see if they learn the same lesson and“Edmonton now, I think they needed to experience last year to get to where they’re at now and they’re kind of unflappable,” Rupp said. “I think that’s a weapon for them.”
