  • Good companion to the shows

    They do a good job and actually prepare for the discussion. It’s fun to listen to it and catch what I missed while watching the shows.

  • Woke show

    This podcast is really difficult to listen to. They claim to not be political but they try to tie our President enforcing our sovereignty to the Empire. The host are not connected to reality and this is clearly only for the crazy far left.

  • Too Woke

    I thought I would like this Podcast, but I can’t get through more than two episodes. I understand that contemporary politics has always played a part in Star Wars, but the way the various hosts connect everything in Andor to Trump, showing their Trump Derangement Syndrome, and viewing everything through that lense is insufferable. There are millions of SW fans who aren’t on the left, or merely want to escape the Trump talk. People can have reasonable views on either side of the immigration topic... more

  • It’s good

    I like the setup. It’s nice to be able to listen to a podcast for each episode, especially because I don’t have time to binge all three episodes when they drop. I love the discussion, they’re not afraid to make parallels to current events.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Andor - Going Rogue (feat. Tansy Gardam)
Q: What do you think about the female representation in Andor?
Although there are strong female characters, their arcs often feel more defined by their relationships to the male characters, which could be a weakness in the writing.
Andor - Going Rogue (feat. Tansy Gardam)
Q: What are your overall thoughts on Season 2 and how it compares to Season 1?
Season 2 of Andor felt more compressed and rushed, missing the character development that made Season 1 so impactful. It seemed like too much content was crammed into too few episodes.
Andor - S02E12 - Jedha Kyber Erso
Q: What is your personal history with Star Wars?
I adore Star Wars, but I am not at all deep into it. The original used to be my favorite, but now it's Andor, which has been quite difficult for me to come to terms with.
Star Wars - Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
Q: Did you see 'Conclave'?
No, but I have it loaded up. I'm going to make you watch it.
Star Wars - Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
Q: What's your hot take on 'The Empire Strikes Back'?
It's the best one. It really is. This is objectively the best Star Wars movie.
