So I recently finished Andor for the first time and I want to talk in particular about the character of Dedra, because she really stands out to me and is an amazing villain.
The actress is great, and the character is absolutely terrifying to me. Especially when her true colors are revealed in Season 1 Episode 9 when she was questioning Bix (“The worst thing you can do is bore me”). It almost felt like a “twist” since we didn’t really see that side of her before that episode.
What’s funny is I find her way scarier than someone like Palpatine, even though that guy is the devil himself and his mere presence would make Dedra shit her pants, lol.
For me, its probably because Palpatine is a theatrical evil space wizard, while Dedra’s type of evil feels way more relatable. She’s someone trying to climb the corporate ladder and treats the evil things she does as a clock in and clock out job.
