Cassian reveals his reason for joining the rebellion on Aldhani, while the rest of the Andor cast is forced to examine their motivations too. Our (spoilery!) Episode 5 review:
“The Axe Forgets” is an unexpectedly poignant chapter of Andor, which sees Dan Gilroy’s script exploring the motives of the Aldhani rebels while also shedding a pointed light on the far-flung cast of characters who are also having their motivations and drives prodded at. Susanna White has a keen directorial eye, bringing audiences to the front lines of the Rebellion and focusing on its mundane beginnings.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Karn has been a fascinating character study since day one, but meeting his mother provides a deeper understanding of his psyche. Even though “the axe forgets, but the tree remembers” is a sentiment intended to be reserved to explain why the Rebels are fighting back against the Empire, it’s clear that the episode means to use this phrase to pinpoint why all of its characters are motivated towards their personal causes.
With the rebels on Aldhani, Andor has carefully built a cast of characters that are uniquely their own. Each member fits into the group, while also being an outlier because their motives aren’t always in alignment with each other. Oftentimes, a series will overlook how vital it is to flesh out its minor characters, driven only by the excitement of the next big thing, but this show refuses to do that. Each character that Cassian encounters is three-dimensional, motivated, and named.
