Iβm thinking a lot about how Andor as a show opposes a lot of the ideas of the Jedi code, and Iβve seen a few people put their thoughts on the lines about trying, so I thought Iβd toss my brain in the ring
βDo or do not, there is no tryβ: a 1983 message about motivation and taking control of your own motivation and purpose. Do nothing by half measure, you have to have intent to succeed or youβll never make it. In a movie that has been officially stated to be anti-war commentary about the protests against the Vietnam war, it makes sense that this would have a double meaning for viewers. Given by a wise old master to a young man as passing along wisdom.
βRemember this: tryβ: a 2022 message in a time where way more people feel absolutely hopeless about the state of the world. No matter how dismal you think it might be, you can make a chip against the despair in the world. If you just try a little, make an effort, it will help. In a show thatβs blatantly anti fascist and anti capitalist, itβs clearly meant to be a message that just a little does something, even if it all seems futile. Said by a young rebel in a manifesto that heβs writing against the fist of the Empire.
Obviously this is a good amount of nonsense, itβs currently past 2 am and Iβm kinda rambling, but my god. My god. This show has taken over my mind entirely
