Andor Fans Weren’t Expecting To Get So Emotional Over That Droid Moment In Episode 11 – Looper

In the early moments of Episode 11, we learn that Andor’s adoptive mother Maarva (Fiona Shaw) has finally passed away after her long illness. The scene in her home on Ferrix reveals the woman’s friends, including Andor’s pal Brasso (Joplin Sibtain), preparing her body to be taken away. Brasso also tries to comfort Maarva’s loyal droid, B2EMO, who is grief-stricken to the point of shaking, sad-beeping paralysis. “Andor” fans found the little, red droid’s mournful reaction to the situation surprisingly touching.

Posting on the show’s subreddit, user u/FloppyShellTaco admitted, “Never thought a droid in grief would make me want to cry.” Redditor u/SPRTMVRNN concurred, feeling the personable B2EMO was more like a pet than a fire-hydrant-shaped bot: “No kidding. He was pulling my heart strings like a crying puppy or kitten.” User u/wildgreenthing felt the same way, saying, “Right? Like here I am, wishing I could comfort the little guy.” Likewise, “Andor” viewer u/Videowulff wanted to ease the droid’s anguish, going all-caps to say, “SOMEBODY HUG HIM!,” while u/AshleyinPink had an equally emotional response, writing, “Seriously, I was watching with tears. Poor guy.”

Episode 12 of “Andor” will premiere on Disney+ on Wednesday, November 23.
