We're less than a month away from the premiere of the second and final season of Andor, and a new trailer has us all the more hyped. There's a lot of new footage that was released, even for a shorter trailer, and because of that I thought it would be a good time to look [...]
In a blink-and-you-miss-it moment of the new special look at Andor season two, we see a glimpse of Mon Mothma walking with a dignified-looking Tarsunt - and I'm guessing he's someone we've already seen before. Though not confirmed, it looks an awful lot like Lanever Villecham. I'm guessing it's the same guy, and that means [...]
We have long suspected that one of the arcs in the second and final season of Andor will show the Ghorman Massacre, and that seems all but confirmed now. In the epic new special look that was released recently, the closed captions include a description reading, "protestors singing in Ghor", while highlighting once more the [...]
Though the Empire suffered a crippling defeat at the Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi, the Imperial forces continued fighting against the rebels for another year, until their decisive loss at the Battle of Jakku. In that year, the rebels re-organized into the New Republic, but they faced tumultuous days. The Battle of [...]
Running a rebellion isn't easy, but it's nothing compared to running a government. That's what Mon Mothma learned in the days following the Battle of Endor, where the Rebel Alliance defeated the Empire and marked a decisive turning point in the Galactic Civil War. They formed the New Republic, which would see the fight through [...]
The third episode of Ahsoka contains a scene where Hera Syndulla tries to persuade New Republic Chancellor Mon Mothma, alongside several senators, to take seriously the threat of Grand Admiral Thrawn's potential return. In a disappointing yet not at all surprising decision, the New Republic declines to give Hera the aid she seeks. That would [...]
In the third episode of Ahsoka, a fan favorite character made a short appearance, as New Republic Chancellor Mon Mothma heard a report from General Hera Syndulla about a potential threat of Grand Admiral Thrawn's return. Mothma is a long-standing Star Wars character, and she's received a resurgence of interest recently thanks to Andor and [...]
The rebellion overthrew an Empire... but then they had to establish a new galactic government. And that's not an easy task. The new Star Wars canon has been exploring the ways the New Republic that was formed in the aftermath of the Empire, for all it's best intentions, didn't get it all right. Those stories [...]
Andor is fantastic. But we've covered that much already, numerous times. I've also made it no secret that among so many great story threads, my absolute favorite in the first season of the show was the one focused on Mon Mothma. Those scenes amount to a political thriller, a drama series not seen before in [...]
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 [...]
