Is the latest episode of Andor a knockout, or is it actually kinda mid? We duke it out this week on the Breaking Canon Podcast! One thing we can all agree on though is that Luthen Rael remains a real all-timer, as he continues to demonstrate his badassery across this episode. Elsewhere, we debate whether Maarva Andor is really dead, or if she has something big planned for her funeral. Most importantly though: is B2EMO going to be okay?! We discuss all of this and so much more in our breakdown of this season's penultimate episode!

It's another ten-out-of-ten instant classic for Andor with it's latest entry, One Way Out. We break down this week's exciting prison break from Narkina 5, and praise Andy Serkis's all-time Star Wars performance as our beloved Kino. We also have praise for the show's titular character, who's heroism across this episode finally earns him the distinction of being the lead in his own show. Elsewhere, we discuss ISB officer Lonni's surprise double agent, and his meeting with Axis himself, Luthen Rael.  All of this and so much more on the Breaking Canon Podcast!

Nobody's Listening! - but we hope you'll be listening, to the latest episode of the pod, that is! This week, we're talking all about the ninth installment of Andor. We break down the Empire's disturbing interrogation methods, and wonder if Lt. Meero is still a character worth rooting for. But we know who is rooting for Lt. Meero: everyone's favorite Bureau of Standards fuel purity officer, Syril Karn! We go deep on Meero and Karn's cringy second encounter, and speculate about where their relationship might be headed. Elsewhere, we dive into the glorious change of heart of our favorite new Andy Serkis Star Wars character, Kino Loy. All of this and much, much more on the Breaking Canon Podcast!

We've got a new entry in the Breaking Canon Perfect Ten Hall of Fame, and it's Andor Episode 6: The Eye. It's nothing but praise for the midseason finale of the prequel series, and we all agree it's already an instant Star Wars classic. We break down the masterful execution of the Imperial Payroll Heist, celebrate one episode-wonder Commander Jayhold, mourn the loss of our beloved Nemik, and praise the badassery of Cinta and Vel. Elsewhere, we express our disapproval of Skeen's betrayal, and contemplate whether Cassian was right or wrong to kill him off. But most importantly: will Andor read Nemik's manifesto? We explore all of this and more on this week's episode!

The Axe Forgets but Breaking Canon remembers, at least when it comes to breaking down the latest episode of Andor. We discuss Nemik's navigational tool that looks suspiciously like a polaroid camera, and contemplate how many extra credits Luthen would have to kick in for Cassian to read Nemik's manifesto. Elsewhere, we celebrate the explosive dining room scenes that feature latest Andor MVP's, Karn's mom and Mon Mothma's daughter. So fix yourself some space cereal and blue milk, and enjoy the latest episode of the Breaking Canon Podcast!

Less than a year after our original Rogue One discussion, we decided we needed to revisit this beloved Star Wars story in anticipation for the new Disney+ series, Andor. We investigate whether the release of The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi in the last year has changed our feelings about Disney's first standalone Star Wars film. Elsewhere, we explore our biggest hopes for the new series; and finally, we run through some fresh categories to round out our Rogue One rewatch! Did we appreciate the film more? Is Rogue One worth having two episodes dedicated to it? Tune in to find out!
