In this episode of Mattacritic; I will be reviewing and analyzing Star Wars Andor Season 1 Episode 11 that is currently on Disney+ done by Lucasfilm. I will go over several topics in this episode. I will give you my rating at the end of this episode. The name of this episode is Daughter of Ferrix.

The episode has several different storylines. I will mention them in different paragraphs.
One story line is with Cassian Andor’s mother dying which will deal with the daughters of Ferrix which is the name of the episode. The episode is called daughter of Ferrix which I would have just mentioned. Marava Andor is a daughter of Ferrix. She refused to take care from them as she would rather die in her own home than to die somewhere else. This makes sense as my grandmother did not want to die anywhere else but home. My grandmother died in a nursing home instead after she broke her hip. The daughters of Ferrix want to have a funeral where they will put the ashes in a brick and put it up as a memorial. Daedra Meara wants them to do the funeral as this will lead Cassian to them. They want to use his mother as bait to bring him back to Ferrix so they can set a trap for him. They knew that he tried to get her to go with him. Marava told Cassian that she could not go as she knew that she was in no condition to go with him. She would not have survived the trip and she would rather die in a place that she was familiar with. She died in a place that she was familiar with. To be honest, a person would rather die in a place that he/she is familiar with than not.
The ISB is trying to find Anton Creager. They are setting up a trap for him as stated in the last episode. They ask Bix, is this the man you introduced Cassian to? As the viewer knows, Anton Creager looks nothing like who Cassian Andor met. The viewer knows that Cassian Andor met Luthan Rael not Anton Creager. Bix has still been injected with the truth serum and it is showing in the effects that she is displaying. They do not reveal if she told the truth to the ISB about whether this is the man Cassian met with or not.
Cassian Andor and the other man on Narkina 5 are working on getting a ship to get off Narkina 5. They get caught in a net and it looks like they might get killed. It looks bad, but Cassian and the other man convince the two creatures that this is the Empire that is using Narkina 5 to build whatever the Empire wants. They tell the creatures they need help to get off the planet and Cassian tells the two creatures that he is looking for to get to Niamos. One would think that Cassian is crazy for wanting to go back to Niamos, but it makes sense as he is looking to get his suitcase that has the credits he had after the Aldhani heist.
As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of this story and set up Episode 12.
I will give you, my rating. I give Star Wars Andor Season 1 Episode 11, a 10 out 10. It was fun but does an excellent job of showing the viewer the perils of fighting war, and the realities of a prison escape. The viewer is left wondering, did the other prisoners get off Narkina 5? It will set up a great Season Finale. If they do as good a job as they have done here, then that episode will be fun and worth watching. The prison escape reminded the viewer of Alcatraz and escaping from Riker’s Island. It also reminded the viewer of attempting to escape from the prison that was in Captain America: Civil War. It has shown that war is not pretty. It also brought a certain character back who Luthan Rael was meeting again. If you know who that is, please leave your answer in the comment section below. Please leave your thoughts of this episode as well as giving your rating for example; you give it an 8 out 10 in the comment section below. Be kind and considerate. Respect each other’s opinions including mine. There is no problem with each person including me discussing and not agreeing with each other. That is fine, but please be respectful. Please let it be thoughtful discussion and discord. Thank you.
