Iโm thinking a lot about how Andor as a show opposes a lot of the ideas of the Jedi code, and Iโve seen a few people put their thoughts on the lines about trying, so I thought Iโd toss my brain in the ring
โDo or do not, there is no tryโ: 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 youโll 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.
โRemember this: tryโ: 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 thatโs blatantly anti fascist and anti capitalist, itโs 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 heโs writing against the fist of the Empire.
Obviously this is a good amount of nonsense, itโs currently past 2 am and Iโm kinda rambling, but my god. My god. This show has taken over my mind entirely
