I called my dad yesterday to tell him I had been thinking about Christmas Eves from my childhood. I realized that some of my happiest memories are of being a little girl at my grandparents’ house, being sent to bed early on Christmas Eve, and knowing the house was full of adults who loved me, all while waiting for the magic of Christmas morning. I could hear them laughing and enjoying each other’s company, and even today, I can imagine no better sound to fall asleep to.
Is there a word, though, for knowing a nostalgic memory can never be revisited? Because telling my dad all of this also made me sad. My grandparents are no longer alive, and I will never be that little girl falling asleep on Christmas Eve again. All I can do now is try to create that same kind of magic for my own kids going forward.
Everyone always talks about Luthen Rael’s monologues or Maarva Andor’s funeral speech, but finally hearing Nemik’s manifesto is still easily one of the most powerful moments to come from ANDOR.
Absolutely phenomenal writing that perfectly encapsulates the core themes of Star Wars.
