Rebellions are built on hope, and good television is built on masterful screenwriting. Andor Season 2 reminds us what makes the Star Wars universe so special: cultural relevance played out among the planets and people not so different from ourselves.

Tony Gilroy and his creative team brought the world a masterclass in storytelling in what could be deemed an unlikely vehicle. Like so many others, we wondered when Andor was announced who would be interested in the Rogue One supporting character’s backstory.

Guess we didn’t know what they had up their sleeves. This rebel snuck his way into our hearts and minds in Season 1, and the story they brought to the screen in Season 2 surpassed anything we’ve seen from a Star Wars show or movie thus far.

Today we look at what we loved about Andor Season 2, what the criticisms and conversation gets right and wrong, and what we hope for Star Wars movies and shows in the near future.

Give our episode a listen, then go finish Andor Season 2 and rewatch Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on Disney+ today.

We hope you enjoy the episode, and let us know what you’ve thought about Andor Season 2 in our comments!

A little about Andor Season 2:

Lucasfilm’s Emmy®-nominated thriller “Andor,” returned on April 23, 2025. The second season takes place as the horizon of war draws near and Cassian becomes a key player in the Rebel Alliance. Everyone will be tested and, as the stakes rise, the betrayals, sacrifices and conflicting agendas will become profound. Rife with political intrigue and danger, the series is a prequel to “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” which portrayed a heroic band of rebels who steal the plans to the Empire’s weapon of mass destruction—The Death Star—setting the stage for the events of the original 1977 film. “Andor” sets the clock back five years from the events of “Rogue One” to tell the story of the film’s hero, Cassian Andor, and his transformation from disinterested, cynical nobody into a rebel hero on his way to an epic destiny.

We’re back with our Your Friends & Neighbors watchalong series for Episode 7 – “The First Honest Thing.” The clock is ticking, and Coop’s injuries didn’t tickle. An angry Barney is justified in rejecting Coop’s weak apology, and the cops aren’t accepting his story either. A big funeral, some afternoon delight, and a callback partially paid off puts our protagonist in a particularly tough spot.

This new Apple TV+ series follows Jon Hamm as Coop, his fall from grace, and how desperation drives him to misappropriation.

Enjoy today’s episode, and be sure you catch the new episode of Your Friends & Neighbors and our recap each Friday through the season finale on May 30, 2025.

In an episode as visually impressive as it was frustratingly funny, Seth Rogen’s Matt Remick shows up to the Golden Globes with one goal in mind: get mentioned in Zoë Kravitz’s speech. The big issue? She didn’t write him into her speech, and doesn’t plan on changing a thing. The result? A night of awards, anticipation, anxiety, and a**headed behavior on the part of our faithful (albeit annoying) studio head.

From the minds of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, it’s a show about a newly appointed studio head, movies, TV, and everything in between. For fans of Hollywood, comedy, and good television, this show is for you!
