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 [...]
The current Star Wars comic line, written by Charles Soule, is telling the story of the Rebellion in-between The Empire Strikes and Return of the Jedi. And in the most recent issue, we got to see a pretty major moment in that time span: the Rebel leaders learning that the Empire is making a second [...]
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 [...]
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 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 - [...]
Mon Mothma is an influential character in the Star Wars universe, but has had very little on-screen impact in the franchise. She first appeared in one brief scene in Return of the Jedi, and then cameoed in Revenge of the Sith (her bigger scenes wound up cut). She appeared in a more notable role in [...]
Andor is the next major Star Wars story to release, premiering in less than a month on Disney+, and I think it's going to be great. The show has, in many ways, flown under the radar since it was first announced a few years ago, thanks in part to the massive hype surrounding Obi-Wan Kenobi [...]
The recent Vanity Fair feature on upcoming Star Wars projects dove into Andor as well, which is said to be premiering late this summer (though the exact date is still unknown). There were some new details on what to expect in the show's first season, as well as the role of Mon Mothma in the [...]
The War of the Bounty Hunters continues! I've been reading along each week, but I'm a bit behind on my reviews of each issue, so I'm catching up. Star Wars #15, written by Charles Soule, is one of the most marginally connected issues to this whole crossover event it seems, but it nonetheless was one [...]
