Andor episode 9 continues the show's insanely hot start by ratcheting up the tension even higher than it's been. It's another great episode, and it sets up very well next week's culmination of this arc of the series. Let's dive into our review of this episode, "Nobody's Listening!", and as always, full spoilers are ahead! [...]
The latest episode of Andor introduced a new character to the show, but not to the Star Wars franchise. Luthen Rael heads to Segra Milo to meet with Saw Gerrera, a fellow rebel who leads a cell that's fighting back against the Empire. From the scene between Luthen and Saw it's evident that Saw sees [...]
A new three-episode arc of Andor has begun, with episode 8 dropping and showing us the continuing fallout of what we've seen happening throughout the season so far. It's a slow build, but the show is doing a fantastic job of exploring things in-depth and offering a truly compelling narrative. It feels like it keeps [...]
There are many themes that Andor is addressing in its first season, making it a thought-provoking story while providing quality entertainment as well. And one of those themes that's being addressed is the issue of how to fight against evil. To begin with, there's the question of what a person should do in the face [...]
Let's just get this out of the way at the start: the laziest form of online discourse when a new Star Wars show comes out is to use it to bash previous Star Wars storytelling. As if there's only a limited number of stories that are allowed to be enjoyed, and as if the only [...]
At the beginning of Andor episode 7, we see an ISB meeting, yet it's not like the others we've seen earlier in the season. This time, they're being addressed by someone who certainly seems in charge, who personally spoke with Emperor Palpatine himself the previous night, and who is telling them about the Empire closing [...]
Andor episode 7 dropped today, and it's fantastic. It all centers around the fallout from the heist on Aldhani, and I'm glad that the show is taking the time to show the characters' reactions to this news, across a range of emotions. Let's dive in to "Announcement," which was my favorite episode yet. Full spoilers [...]
The overall structure for Andor is taking place in different three-episode arcs, like we've seen so far in the first season. The first three episodes centered around Cassian on Ferrix, while the next three episodes picked up on that and focused on the mission on Aldhani. Because of that we were expecting episode 7 to [...]
Ever since the very first Star Wars film was released in 1977, the franchise has been leading the way in revolutionizing the filmmaking industry. One of the most significant ways that has happened is through the pioneering of visual effects, something that was the focus of the fantastic Light & Magic docu-series this summer. So [...]
For the first time ever in live-action Star Wars, we got a glimpse of the Imperial Senate in session near the end of the sixth episode of Andor. It's a brief look, as we see Senator Mon Mothma in the middle of an impassioned speech against the Empire blocking Ghorman trade routes, but we see [...]
