In our discussion of Episode 2, we explore how the show has become a unique and powerful addition to the Star Wars franchise after just two episodes and how we're trying not to rush through it because we're already obsessed.

We delve deeper into how the Empire, through the Pre-Mor Authority, is poised to strengthen it's grip on Ferrix, drawing parallels to the very real corporate authorities that impact people's lives in our own world (*cough* Amazon *cough*). Despite the dark themes that Andor presents, Tommy brings some festive cheer during our Outer Rim segment by discussing his fondness for re-watching A Muppet Christmas Carol!

The day has finally come - we're finally watching Andor Season 1 for the very first time!

In this episode, we discuss how the show became such a powerful, yet different entry in the Star Wars franchise, how we almost got a much different show (K2Fast, K2Furious: A Cassian Andor Story), the real life "mythologies" that shaped the show, and, of course, our thoughts on Episode 1: Kassa.

Plus: The triumphant return of Beyond the Outer Rim! Cass discusses the latest in the High Republic book series: Cavan Scott's Tempest Breaker!
