Can’t take credit for transcribing this.  

But yeah, the message will stick:

Spoiler

Fellow Senators, friends, colleagues, allies, adversaries. I stand before you this morning with a heavy heart. I've spent my life in this chamber. I came here as a child. And as I look around me now, I realize I have almost no memories that pre-date my arrival and few bonds of affection that cleave so tightly. Through these many years, I believe I have served my constituents honorably and upheld our code of conduct. This chamber is a cauldron of opinions and we've certainly all had our patience and tempers tested in pursuit of our ideals. Disagree as we might I am hopeful that those of you who know me will vouch for my credibility in the days to come. I stand this morning with a difficult message.

I believe we are in crisis. The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest. This Chamber's hold on the truth was finally lost on the Ghorman Plaza. What took place yesterday, what happened yesterday on Ghorman was unprovoked genocide. Yes! Genocide! And that truth has been exiled from this Chamber! And the monster screaming the loudest? The monster we helped create?

The monster who will come for us all soon enough is Emperor Palpatine!

There was a moment during last night's three-episode arc where I wondered to myself if this was the best Star Wars has ever been.

Maybe not the absolute best, but it’s definitely shot itself up to the upper echelons of damn good Star Wars.

I came to that impression back on Aldani, and the whole Ghorman arc has confirmed it.  I don't think there's any question.

Maybe if The Empire Strikes Back had been over twenty hours long, it could've been as dramatic as Andor has proven to be...

Andor has always been among the very best Star Wars has had to offer... IMO, it crossed the line to being The Best back in "One Way Out" and cemented its permanent residency in the top spot with "Rix Road".  

Haven't seen the new episodes yet (that's tonight), but I am VERY much looking forward to it.

The one-two punch of the prison escape then Luthen’s awesome monologue sent it to another level.

And who’d have thought they’d make compelling, layered characters out of cereal-eating Syril and typical, rank-climbing antagonist Dedra?

Even the minor characters are well developed.

If I could change any one thing, I'd have kept the F-bomb in the conclusion of Maarva's speech in "Rix Road".

Andor = The actual historic events of the Star Wars from eons long ago. 

Original Trilogy = The mythology legends of the Star Wars passed down through the eons to our modern day.

Prequels, Sequels & Everything else = A modern reinterpretation of those Star Wars bedtime stories now for a new young and hip audience.
