    Indeed, but not by a large enough force to conclusively lock down every single potential entrance and exit as we've seen in real world examples. As far as the Empire is concerned, it's peacetime. At this point in Star Wars history, the Rebel Alliance doesn't exist yet. The Empire has yet to encounter a Rebel movement that's large and well-organized enough to present a real military threat to its control of the galaxy. Up until now, they've only really encountered independent rebel cells of squad or at best platoon size that carry out nuisance attacks on lightly defended Imperial ships and bases. The game changes when Mon Mothma declares the founding of the Rebel Alliance after reaching Dantooine, but even then the Empire doesn't truly start taking the Rebellion seriously as a threat until the destruction of the first Death Star.

    Even a senate in peacetime is guarded. And it really didn’t seem like peacetime with all the rebel threats going around.

    They do have security at the entrances. We see it in the episode. They have rows of some kind of metal detector equivalent and security personnel checking IDs at the building's entrances. What they don't have is loads of armed guards on the grounds. Why would they? Like Cassian noted back in season one, the Empire is so arrogant and so self-satisfied that they never even consider possibilities like this. The Empire's whole schtick is presenting a picture of stability and safety. That the new government has everything under control. The Senate we see in Andor is the very picture of a government building in peacetime. They have security at the doors and at key points to keep the public out of areas that they're not meant to access, but it's all kept deliberately low key to project a sense of confidence and control. If the halls of the Imperial capital aren't a supremely safe place, the Empire's public image as a "safe and secure society" is at risk. Putting a huge number of soldiers in or around the building at all times to lock it down on a moment's notice would be a very visible contradiction in the Empire's messaging to the galaxy. Proactively preventing threats to maintain that air of control is the ISB's job, but as we saw they're as overconfident as any other Imperial bureau and dropped the ball.

    It's still listed on D4Toys, but the actual shipping cost will probably be a mystery until you get the bill. https://www.d4toys.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1275

    But does the guy in the black jacket still do the spin..?
  24. Big s
    And that would be the perfect reason to upgrade security. If they don’t have security at each entrance, then that’s just poor writing all around.

    Invasion!

    Kathleen Kennedy really does need to fly that AC130 out to Tony Gilroy's house and beg him to replace Dave Filoni. The difference is so huge it crosses the line twice and is actually pretty funny.
  27. Seto Kaiba
    Eh... clearly it is that hard. Not just because we clearly see Imperial stormtroopers fail to lock down the building and catch the escaping Mon Mothma in Andor, but because this is not even close to the worst security failure we see happen on the Senate's premises. In The Clone Wars, a group of bounty hunters led by Cad Bane were able to break into the Senate offices and take a group of ten senators (incl. Padma Amidala and Bail Organa) hostage and would have killed all ten with a bomb to cover their escape if not for Jedi intervention. Several senators were also murdered in their own offices during that same period. The Supreme Chancellor's office was also broken into three times in quick succession around the events of Revenge of the Sith. Once by General Grievous to abduct the chancellor, once by Mace Windu and three other Jedi to assassinate Palpatine, and once by Yoda to assassinate Palpatine. That's just the short list that I can remember offhand. There are more. Like Cassian noted way back in season one, the Empire's biggest problem is overconfidence. Cassian was able to rob the Imperial naval yard at Steergard with a pure Bavarian fire drill. Just put on a uniform and acted like had every right to be there, and nobody even questioned it. He does the same in "Welcome to the Rebellion".

    Nice arc. I wonder who will be the final target.
