It looks like Andor season two could include a fun nod to the Star Wars sequel trilogy and New Republic politics

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 [...]

Five important things we learned about the state of the galaxy in The Mandalorian season 3 premiere: Moff Gideon, Cara Dune, Bo-Katan, and more!

The season 3 premiere of The Mandalorian not only re-introduced us to the lovable Din Djarin and Grogu, but also re-introduced us to the state of the galaxy during this time period.
