Conspiracy In The Force

Andor #10-11: Levels of Sacrifice, Prison Evangelism, and Emo Droids

On this podcast, we discuss the new animated series Tales of the Jedi and discuss whether or not Count Dooku was justified in joining the dark side due to the pervasive corruption in the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Council's inability to think for themselves.  Through three animated shorts, we get a deep dive into life and times of Dooku and see how he slowly comes to terms with the noble Republic not being what it seems.  We parallel the prequel conflict between Palpatine and the Republic to the Russian vs. Ukraine situation - just because one side appears to be a victim, are they 100% faultless in their own downfall?

May the force be with you and God bless!

On this podcast, we dive into episode 9 of Andor titled “Nobody’s Listening.” We talk about Kino and his faulty logic regarding following the rules and being a good prisoner (which parallels to the Biblical truth of faith over works), Palpatine keeping the Senate around as an artificial government body, psychological torture, and fighting for a just cause by being strong and courageous (referencing Joshua 1:9 from the Old Testament). May the force be with you and God bless!

On this podcast, we discuss episode 8 of Andor where Cassian finds himself in a sophisticated Imperial prison that could look similar to our own future on Earth if things progress. We also discuss the idea of false light, in how the prison appears clean and safe on the surface, but is dark and depressing in actuality (the future of Musk Twitter?)

I stopped by to chat with Jack Allen, John Brisson, Loyalist, and Scott to discuss monarchies and the Biblical context, historical context, and pros and cons.  No Star Wars in this episode but a lot of great discussion with great people!  Hope you enjoy it!  God Bless! 

A star studded cast uses their brains to realize....no matter the system...its broken :)

We discuss the documentary “Light and Magic” about the Lucasfilm special effects team over the years. We talk about the interesting military ties (DARPA) to this team and we discuss the ramifications of CGI going forward (and likely past uses).

On this episode, we break down all the great quotes and in-universe discussion from episode 5 of Andor.  While there was little to no action or plot elements driving the story forward, we got some great chat between characters about their motivations for fighting the Empire and how the Empire was able to seize and maintain control so easily.  I also posit the idea that the Republic of old was closer to the Empire than you may realize....listen in to find out more!
