TPToA Podcast 408 – Andor S1-S2 & Rogue One
Description
Andor and Rogue One
9 Years ago (BBY?) Rogue One was released and a lot of people enjoyed the darker, more serious take on the Star Wars universe. However it felt like an outlier, and for many it didn’t fit in with everything else in that galaxy Far Far away.
3 years ago Andor was released. It was show many thought was unnecessary, exploring the backstory of a secondary character many hadn’t really embraced. “nobody asked for this” was a regular comment. Oh how that attitude was to change upon it’s release!
Today, the two seasons of Andor are a high water-mark for not just Star Wars, but TV dramas in general. And they way that they have re-contextualised Rogue One is nothing short of revalatory.
In this podcast we look back at the two seasons of the show, and then dig down looking for the deep substrate foliated calcite at the heart of these shows and movies.
Dion is our rogueish hero, Jill is the far less creepy non-cgi Leia at the end of Rogue One and Quinny is definitely the Glub Shitto of this podcast.
Synopsis
this story follows Cassian Andor, a thief and mercenary, five years before Rogue One. He’s seeking his sister, Kerri, and becomes involved in the nascent rebellion against the Empire after killing two security guards. He then seeks refuge on Ferrix, where he and his friend Bix are drawn into a black market deal involving an Imperial tech unit. Season two then spans the intervening 5 years leading up to the events of the movie which will ultimately dovetail into Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
