yes, it was a peaceful protest and the media outlets reporting there were lying. We saw at the beginning of the season that the Empire has control of most major media and they are doing something that all fascist governments due to okay their murder and oppression and this episode is an amazing look and explanation of "manufacturing consent" and how that occurs and how oblivious and easily duped by this type of propaganda the average person is. The protest being peaceful doesn't matter, the empires just wants the protests to happen so they can use them as an excuse. It is something that should feel very eerily similar to real life right now, especially if you look at recent history with an actual critical lens.

The last shot of the episode is one tear from his mother who will be the only person to remember he ever even existed, the only one who ever really cared that he did. Of all the thoughtful and exacting commentary this show makes, this is one of the most hard hitting. History is littered with angry, lonely men who simp for fascists, chasing a facade of greater purpose only to be chewed up and tossed aside like meat after their usefulness is over, to then be forever forgotten in time. Very much still happens today. They are the fuel that run the engine of fascism and dictatorships. One of the most important tv shows of our time, indeed. You have governors of US states quoting Andor now. And to Jay about needing more context about the Empire in the OT...people in their 50's who watched Star Wars: A New Hope in 1977 were starting college when the world was fighting fascism in the 40's. They weren't that much removed from it to forget what the Empire represented there.. Generations are clearly too much removed from it now, at least here in the US, that they don't understand history and are doomed to repeat it as we slow walk into fascism yet again. We should be reading Marva's speech and Nemik's manifesto daily.
