Andor is back, and this week's the long-awaited resolution to the three-episode arc about the heist on Aldhani. And safe to say things get quite intense during it. Let's dive in to our review of the sixth episode of the show - meaning we're already halfway through the first season! - and as always, spoilers [...]
The first three episodes of Andor introduced us to Luthen Rael as a rebel sympathizer, but episodes 4 and 5 showed us the other side of him: he's also an antiquities dealer on Coruscant, which serves as a front for his true operations. Luthen runs Galactic Antiquities and Objects of Interest, and the collection is [...]
Episode 5 of Andor was released today, titled "The Axe Forgets," and it's another strong episode in the series. It's perhaps the most dialogue-driven of any of the episodes so far (which is saying a lot), but it's just so well written that it carries things extraordinarily well. Let's dive in to our review of [...]
Don't let anyone tell you that Andor doesn't have easter eggs to the rest of the Star Wars saga. It's packed full of them, but they're often more subtle and in the background, which is exactly the way they should be. It makes it feel like this is the same galaxy we're familiar with, even [...]
Mon Mothma is finally getting her chance to shine. First introduced as the elegant rebel leader in Return of the Jedi, Mothma has become a major figure in the Star Wars franchise, appearing in books, shows, and films, but her on-screen appearances have been very brief compared to her in-universe impact. But in Andor, Mothma [...]
In the fourth episode of Andor, we return to Coruscant - for the first time in live-action Star Wars since Revenge of the Sith in 2005. And part of the time on the planet is spent at a brand new location to appear on-screen in the franchise: the headquarters of the Imperial Security Bureau, often [...]
In Andor episode 4, "Aldhani," we see the return of Mon Mothma to live-action Star Wars. She steals each scene she's in, which includes a tense conversation with her husband, Perrin. It's the first time we've ever met Perrin, and he's getting ready to host a dinner with many Imperial guests, including Sly Moore - [...]
The fourth episode of Andor is now out! The episode begins the second arc of the series, serving as the first of three episodes in this storyline. But it picks up directly where episode 3 left off, and through the course of the episode we see the triumphant return of Mon Mothma! This one's my [...]
Star Wars fans are definitely overly concerned about retcons, by and large. For the most part, a show coming along and offering a minor and innocent retcon isn't that big of a deal, and it shouldn't be made into one. As an example, the vast majority of people watching the first three episodes of Andor [...]
In the first three episodes of Andor, as the storyline that's set in 5 BBY is being told, we also get several glimpses at flashbacks to Cassian's youth. As a child on Kenari, Cassian (then known as Kassa) is part of a tribe that witnesses a ship crash landing on their planet, and he joins [...]
