The hosts of Star Wars Generations reunite after their hiatus to discuss rewatching Rogue One following the conclusion of Andor Season Two. This episode explores how the Disney+ series fundamentally changes the viewing experience of the 2016 film, adding emotional depth and context that wasn't there before.How does Cassian Andor's character development in the series change his role in Rogue One? The hosts examine how knowing Cassian's backstory makes every decision and mannerism more impactful, particularly that opening scene where he shoots his informant Tivik. Understanding his journey from reluctant participant to committed rebel adds weight to moments that previously felt surface-level.What does Andor reveal about the Empire's political machinery? Beyond the obvious evil of planet-destroying superweapons, the series shows the propaganda, political maneuvering, and systematic oppression that drives people to rebellion. The hosts discuss how this context makes characters like Director Krennic more menacing and the rebels' desperation more understandable.How does the Rebel Alliance's internal structure affect the story? Seeing the fractured, bureaucratic nature of the rebellion in Andor makes the "going rogue" aspect of Rogue One more meaningful. The hosts explore how the series shows rebels literally rebelling against their own leadership.What's the real nature of Cassian and Jyn's relationship? The episode tackles online discourse about whether their connection was romantic, especially given Cassian's relationship with Bix in Andor. The hosts argue for a more nuanced interpretation that doesn't require choosing sides or diminishing either relationship. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

By 2016, the Star Wars galaxy was splintered. Disney had bought the keys to the kingdom, and The Force Awakens had opened the floodgates of nostalgia; fans were debating whether the magic still remained. Enter Rogue One, a gritty, grounded war film that not only connected the dots between trilogies but also reminded us what sacrifice actually looks like in a galaxy far, far away. Our Rogue One (2016) Review could be our boldest Star Wars exploration yet. Listen to find out.On this week's Born to Watch, the team rallies on Yavin 4 to break down the boldest entry in Disney's Star Wars canon. Whitey brings the heat with tales of midnight screenings and family rewatches, calling Rogue One the "Everest" of modern Star Wars. Damo, initially underwhelmed, admits it took a second viewing to appreciate the depth and daring of this standalone story. And Bones? Let's just say he came armed with more trivia than a Death Star databank, from K-2SO's comic origins to what Chirrut Îmwe's staff is really made of.The episode begins with the squad sharing their first impressions, ranging from faulty cinema projectors to kids ditching mid-movie, before diving into the film's iconic trailer. Vader's breath. The Rogue One theme. Mon Mothma's icy resolve. It still rocks. The boys dissect what made the trailer work and laugh at the glaringly absent "I rebel" line that somehow vanished between teaser and final cut.Naturally, the Born to Watch crew doesn't just scratch the surface. They dive deep into what makes Rogue One so special: a fresh cast of characters who aren't chosen ones or lightsaber prodigies, but ordinary rebels making impossible choices. Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) gets major love for her no-frills attitude, while Diego Luna's Cassian Andor earns newfound respect thanks to the phenomenal Andor series, which Whitey all but begs Damo to finally watch.And then there's K-2SO, the sardonic droid voiced by Alan Tudyk (aka "Two Dicks”, don't ask, just listen). Easily one of the funniest characters in the franchise, K-2 delivers punchlines and gut-punches with equal finesse. The same goes for Donnie Yen's Chirrut and Wen Jiang's Baze, a dynamic duo who bring martial arts, mysticism, and machine guns to the battlefield.Ben Mendelsohn's Director Krennic gets the Aussie shoutout treatment, with the team praising his imperial smugness and exquisite cape work. Forest Whitaker's Saw Gerrera? A source of debate, gasps, and conspiracy theories, is he a Vader prototype? A puffed-up Darth Hipster? Either way, "Bo Gullet" lives rent-free in everyone's head, even if no one quite understands what he's doing there.And then comes the scene. You know the one. The Vader hallway massacre. It's cinematic perfection, a horror movie, action flick, and fan fantasy rolled into one red lightsaber ignition. The team agrees: it might be the greatest single moment in Star Wars history. Period.From there, it's time for Good, Bad, and Ugly, where the sets, the new worlds (Scarif, Jedha), and the grounded stakes all get high praise. The team relishes how Rogue One finally explains the Death Star's ridiculous design flaw, praises its minimal use of nostalgia, and wonders how Jyn Erso climbs that 500-metre tower without even puffing.Legacy-wise, Rogue One is a billion-dollar box office hit that somehow still feels underrated. No Skywalkers. No prophecy. Just a desperate, beautiful mission and a finale that dares to kill every single lead. The episode wraps with laughs, trivia, a tease of a Star Wars Trivial Pursuit rematch, and a reminder that Rogue One is the rare Disney-era film that actually elevates what came before.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONIs Rogue One the best Star Wars movie since the original trilogy?Would you rather pilot an X-Wing or be one with the Force like Chirrut? Is K-2SO the most underrated droid in the galaxy?Drop us a voicemail at https://www.borntowatch.com.au and be part of the show!Listen to the full episode now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pods.Don't forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and click the bell to stay updated on all things Born to Watch, your weekly fix of nostalgia, nonsense, and no-holds-barred movie breakdowns.#RogueOne #StarWars #BornToWatch #MoviePodcast #CassianAndor #K2SO #DarthVader #FilmReview

Andor with Dan Gilroy

A long time ago in a galaxy not so far away, writer-director Dan Gilroy became captivated by the machinations of power; how throughout history, authoritarian figures have seduced electorates, seized control of nations and eroded important pillars of democracy – leading resistance fighters to push back across punishing decades of struggle. It's a tale as old as time in our history books – but not necessarily in our movies and TV shows, which haven't always shown just how bruising and thankless rebellion actually is. That is, until Andor – the acclaimed Star Wars TV show created by Dan's brother Tony Gilroy, which Dan is one of the key writers on. The 66-year-old was recently nominated for an Emmy for his work on the recent second season of the show, which concluded the gripping story of Cassian Andor – a complex hero first introduced in 2016's Rogue One. The show's electrifying portrait of a band of spies operating in the shadows to try and overthrow the Empire was sophisticated and in the eyes of many viewers, incredibly timely, too. Today on Script Apart, Dan joins Al to dig into what Andor was really all about. The warnings he hoped his episodes would provide, about how fascism functions. The truth about who Cassian was, played by Diego Luna. The truth about who Imperial bureaucrat Syril was, played by Kyle Soller. Why if the show extended further, we may well have seen Emperor Palpatine. Excitingly, you'll also hear in detail about an episode of Andor that Dan wrote but never made the screen – an episode he says would have been like Ridley Scott's Alien, with fan-favourite robot K2SO playing a Xenamorph-like role. And of course, because 2014's Nightcrawler, which Dan wrote and directed, is one of the great undersung thrillers of all time, there's a sprinkling of chat about that film too.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

Editor - Yan Miles ACE, BFE Andor editor Yan Miles partly attributes the decision not to extensively use the Stagecraft "volume" technology as the reason why his series has a distinctly different look and feel to other shows under the Star Wars banner. Instead, Andor leans into real-world environments, capturing the grit and authenticity that Yan believes enhances the narrative. Another significant factor in that differentiation is Tony Gilroy's writing, where the narrative complexity lies. Despite knowing the ultimate fate of characters like Cassian Andor, the series thrives on the uncertainty surrounding minor characters and their arcs. It's in these uncharted territories that the tension in Andor finds its heartbeat. Season 2 of Andor continues the chronicling of Cassian Andor's journey as he becomes a key figure in the burgeoning Rebel Alliance against the Galactic Empire. The season covers the four years leading up to the events of Rogue One, with each arc spanning a year.  Yan Miles ACE, BFE Yan Miles ACE, BFE is an acclaimed film and television editor whose work spans some of the most prestigious and visually dynamic series of the last decade. A member of both American Cinema Editors and British Film Editors, Yan has brought his keen sense of story and rhythm to internationally celebrated productions such as The Crown, Sherlock, and Game of Thrones. Known for his ability to blend emotional nuance with bold editorial choices, his work has helped define the tone and texture of modern prestige television.   The Credits Visit ExtremeMusic for all your production audio needs Streamline your postproduction pipeline with Shade See which model of Avid Media Composer is right for you Subscribe to The Rough Cut podcast and never miss an episode Visit The Rough Cut on YouTube

Puntata a cura di Jacopo Bulgarini d'Elci e Livio PacellaTra le serie dell'universo Star Wars, Andor è quella che più ha sorpreso critica e pubblico, elevando il livello del racconto televisivo di fantascienza e firmando un nuovo canone per la narrazione seriale ‘adulta' nel fortunato franchise di Guerre Stellari. Ideata da Tony Gilroy (già sceneggiatore di Rogue One e della saga cinematografica di Jason Bourne), la serie si compone di due stagioni (la prima uscita nel 2022, la seconda nel 2025, su Disney+). Diego Luna è protagonista e produttore esecutivo, affiancato da uno straordinario cast internazionale che comprende lo svedese Stellan Skarsgård, Forest Whitaker, Ben Mendelssohn, Genevieve O'Reilly, Andy Serkis.La trama ruota attorno alle origini di Cassian Andor, personaggio già visto in Rogue One (2016), di cui è co-protagonista: il film - seppur precedente - è la perfetta continuazione, nonché l'epilogo, della storia raccontata nella serie. Dal coinvolgimento accidentale di Cassian con la Resistenza alla sua graduale trasformazione in leader carismatico e consapevole, Andor racconta la nascita della Ribellione contro l'Impero. E lo fa dal punto di vista di chi vive ai margini, tra persecuzioni, ingiustizie e scelte talvolta impossibili. “2 voci, 1 serie”: dialoghi sulle cose che ci piacciono, o ci interessano, nel podcast di Mondoserie.Leggi il nostro articolo su Andor: https://www.mondoserie.it/andor/ Parte del progetto: https://www.mondoserie.it/  Iscriviti al podcast sulla tua piattaforma preferita o su: https://www.spreaker.com/show/mondoserie-podcast  Collegati a MONDOSERIE sui social:https://www.facebook.com/mondoserie https://www.instagram.com/mondoserie.it/   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwXpMjWOcPbFwdit0QJNnXQ  https://www.linkedin.com/in/mondoserie/

Send us a textThe rebellion's darkest hour becomes Star Wars' finest achievement in Andor Season 2's concluding episodes. We dive deep into how Tony Gilroy crafted a masterclass in tension, political intrigue, and character development that forever changes our understanding of the Star Wars universe.The Gorman massacre stands as perhaps the most haunting sequence ever created in Star Wars - a perfectly constructed trap that shows the Empire's ruthless calculus and leaves us questioning how we'd respond in similar circumstances. This leads to fascinating discussions about Syril Karn's moral journey: is his horror at witnessing genocide enough to redeem his previous actions, or does his confrontation with Dedra only further complicate his character?Mon Mothma emerges as the unexpected MVP of these episodes, delivering a Senate speech that rivals anything in the franchise for political tension. The procedural details - senators yielding their time, parliamentary maneuvers - create an authenticity rarely seen in science fiction. This groundwork makes her eventual leadership of the Rebellion all the more earned and meaningful.The Force makes its first significant appearance through the mysterious healer who identifies Cassian as a "messenger" - a subtle but powerful reminder that even in this grounded take on Star Wars, cosmic forces still guide the galaxy's fate. Meanwhile, Luthen's capture and Kleya's difficult decision to ensure he doesn't fall into Imperial hands delivers emotional devastation without feeling manipulative.Perhaps most satisfying is how perfectly these episodes connect to Rogue One, answering questions we didn't even know we had. From Cassian's pre-existing knowledge of Galen Erso to his partnership with the newly-reprogrammed K-2SO, every element enriches our understanding of his journey toward Scarif. The show demonstrates how prequels should function - not just filling gaps, but transforming our perspective on what comes after.Why does this series resonate so deeply? Because it never forgets that resistance requires sacrifice, that freedom fighters aren't always heroic, and that hope often comes at terrible cost. Andor depicts the messy, complicated birth of a rebellion with unflinching honesty - proving that Star Wars can deliver sophisticated adult storytelling without sacrificing what made us fall in love with this galaxy far, far away.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbASupport the show

Send us a textAndor discussion starts at 21:49 minutesThe rebellion that will ultimately bring down the Empire doesn't begin with lightsabers or space battles – it starts with ordinary people pushed beyond their breaking point. Andor Season 2's first six episodes masterfully explore this transformation through multiple storylines that reveal the true cost of resistance.Following Cassian, Bix, and their companions as they hide on an agricultural world, we witness how the trauma of Imperial oppression shapes their decisions and drives them deeper into rebellion. Meanwhile, Mon Mothma navigates the treacherous waters of Imperial politics on Coruscant while trying to protect both her family and the secret resistance she funds. When these disparate storylines converge at a wedding sequence scored to hauntingly beautiful music, the result is some of the most sophisticated storytelling ever seen in Star Wars.The series doesn't shy away from showing the Empire's true nature. From propaganda campaigns that villainize entire planets to casual discussions about ecological destruction for resource extraction, we see how Imperial authoritarianism operates at every level. Orson Krennic's return adds crucial context to the machinations behind the Death Star project, while the addition of the planet Gorman – with its distinct culture and ecosystem built around unique spiders – demonstrates how thoroughly the creators have considered this world.What makes Andor exceptional is how it grounds these galaxy-spanning conflicts in deeply human stories. Bix's struggle with PTSD after Imperial torture, Saw Gerrera's dangerous Rhydonium addiction, and Cyril's misplaced faith in Imperial ideals all reveal different facets of life under tyranny. By examining the psychological cost of both oppression and resistance, Andor achieves a depth rarely seen in science fiction television.As the groundwork is laid for the unified Rebellion we'll eventually see in Rogue One, these episodes remind us that revolutions aren't built on spectacular moments, but on countless small acts of courage by people who simply refuse to accept injustice any longer.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! This week, we're jumping into the gritty, morally murky corner of the galaxy far, far away with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), the first of Disney's standalone Star Wars films and one that dares to tell a story where the Force doesn't offer easy answers—and not everyone gets out alive.Directed by Gareth Edwards, Rogue One is set just before the events of A New Hope and follows Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones), the daughter of Imperial scientist Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen), who's coerced into building the Death Star. Recruited by the Rebel Alliance, Jyn finds herself at the heart of a desperate mission to steal the plans for the Empire's terrifying superweapon.What sets Rogue One apart is its tone—it's a war film through and through. There's mud, sacrifice, and a real sense of stakes. The ensemble cast includes Diego Luna as the morally grey rebel Cassian Andor, Donnie Yen as the Force-believing monk Chirrut Îmwe, Alan Tudyk voicing the reprogrammed Imperial droid K-2SO (a scene-stealer), and Ben Mendelsohn as the deeply petty but brilliantly acted villain Director Krennic.This isn't about Jedi or chosen ones. It's about regular people—fighters, spies, defectors, believers—laying down their lives for a cause they believe in, even if they won't live to see the outcome. That emotional weight gives the film a grounded, bittersweet tone that feels distinct within the Star Wars universe.Visually, Edwards brings a tactile realism to the film. The final battle on Scarif is one of the franchise's most spectacular sequences—land, sea, and space warfare colliding in chaos. And of course, there's that final hallway scene with Darth Vader, a terrifying, unforgettable burst of fan service done right.For those who've ever wondered what it really took to get the Death Star plans into Leia's hands, Rogue One answers with a powerful, self-contained story that expands the mythology while standing firmly on its own. It's bold, emotional, and a little darker than you might expect from a Star Wars film—which is exactly why we love it.This one's for the rebels.

For the latest episode of "The Rogue Ones", hosts Mike DeAngelo and Rodrigo Perez sat down once again with Tony Gilroy, the creator and showrunner behind "Andor", to unpack the ambitious second season in full spoiler-filled detail.Created by Tony Gilroy and starring Diego Luna as Cassian Andor, “Andor” is a prequel to “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” (which Gilroy co-wrote and famously helped reshape during reshoots). Set five years before the events of Rogue One, the show focuses on the origins of the Rebellion and how ordinary people — not just Jedi or Chosen Ones — stand up against oppression. Season two picks up a year later in the first three episodes and jumps one year ahead with each block of three afterwards, leading directly to the beginning of “Rogue One” by the end (read our review of season two here).READ MORE: The 75 Most Anticipated TV Shows Of 2025

Star Wars Andor: How Fascism Creates Its Own SupportersWhat drives someone to become complicit in fascism? We explore Syril Karn's arc in Star Wars: Andor and what it reveals about how authoritarian systems manipulate their supporters.How does fascism differ from authoritarianism? We examined the central leader cult of personality that defines fascist systems, with Emperor Palpatine as the prime example.What makes Syril believe in "law and order"? His rigid worldview and imperial propaganda blind him to corruption, driving his obsession with Cassian Andor and participation in the Gorman massacre.Why do fascist systems encourage infighting? The Empire deliberately pits officials against each other to prevent anyone from challenging the Emperor's power.Can we sympathize with villains without excusing them? We discussed humanizing Imperial characters while holding them accountable for their violent choices.Other Topics Covered:Syril's parallel to Javert from Les MisérablesHow the Rebellion operates differently than the EmpireThe Emperor's invisible but constant presence in Imperial decisionsWhy redemption arcs should be rare for fascist collaboratorsViolence as the true governing principle under authoritarianismUnderstanding characters like Syril isn't about excusing fascism—it's about recognizing how ordinary people can be drawn into extraordinary evil and the importance of making moral choices when systems encourage us to look away. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

In 2018 when Disney announced a Star Wars TV series based on the Cassian Andor character from Rogue One (2016) the news was met with a resounding … Really?  In 24 episodes, three years of our time, covering five years of his time, we've come to know Cassian Andor better than any other character in the Star Wars cinematic universe. We've seen his triumphs, his failures, and the sometimes meandering path that led him to his demise in Rogue One. It's the tale of how a thief became a spy, who became a hero and some of the best storytelling under the Star Wars banner. You can argue about it being slow at times, you can point out the areas where it gets obsessed with minutia, but when you step back and look at the big picture it's an amazing and unique narrative. This week the Joes address the final episodes of Andor and cover some Random Topics. Thanks for listening!

Rebroadcast of Rogue One CoverageAndor has come to an end, and after a month of recording within 24 hours of the episodes going live—and the recent baby shower for my soon-to-arrive new Padawan—we need a week off. In this episode, we're sharing details about our new release schedule and revisiting Rogue One with a rebroadcast of our in-depth coverage. Since Andor leads directly into Rogue One, it's the perfect time to revisit this pivotal film!In this rebroadcast episode of the Star Wars Generations podcast, hosts Matthew, Erin, and Alex dive deep into their analysis of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The hosts take a break from their Andor coverage to revisit this pivotal film that connects directly to the original Star Wars trilogy.Why Rogue One Stands Out in the Star Wars UniverseThe hosts discuss what makes Rogue One unique among Star Wars films. Erin describes it as her favorite Star Wars movie, praising how it grounds the franchise in realism and brings a more adult tone to the universe. The hosts appreciate how the film shows that not every "good guy" is truly good, creating moral complexity that was later expanded upon in Andor.Character Development and Moral ComplexityThe discussion focuses on Cassian Andor's character, noting how the film introduces him shooting his own ally to escape—an action that sets the tone for a morally complex story. This portrayal differs dramatically from traditional heroic characters in Star Wars. Jyn Erso's character development receives significant attention, with the hosts praising Felicity Jones' performance and how she portrays someone initially driven by selfish reasons who gradually buys into the rebellion's cause.The Film's Impact on Star Wars StorytellingMatthew highlights how important Rogue One was for expanding the Star Wars universe, demonstrating that compelling stories could be told without Force-using protagonists and focusing on characters who contribute to small battles rather than winning the entire war. This approach opened doors for projects like Andor, which the hosts consider among the best Star Wars content produced.Topics Discussed:How did the darker, grittier tone of Rogue One differentiate it from traditional Star Wars films?What made K-2SO one of the most memorable droid characters in the franchise?How does Orson Krennic embody the Empire's bureaucratic infighting and ambition?Why was Saw Gerrera's transition from animation to live-action significant?What continuity issues exist between Rogue One and A New Hope, and why don't they matter?How does the film's ending connect emotionally to the original Star Wars?Why is the Darth Vader hallway scene considered one of the most iconic moments in Star Wars?The episode concludes with all three hosts affirming Rogue One as one of their favorite Star Wars films, with Erin declaring she'll "preach about it till the day I die" and Alex suggesting it's the perfect film to recommend to people unsure about Star Wars or who think the franchise has been ruined. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHWe meet a little girl named Jyn. Her family is in hiding. One day, the bad guy Orson shows up to tell Jyn's dad, Galen, that they need him to come back and finish the Death Star. Galen's like, “I wouldn't be any use—I'm just a sad sack ever since my wife died.” Suddenly, his wife comes running out of the field—so really bad timing, honestly. She has a gun and she's like, “You'll never take him!” Orson's like, “I'm taking you all.” She shoots him. They shoot her. Orson tells his guys to go find the child, but Jyn is really good at hide-and-seek. She waits in the secret spot until a dude named Saw shows up. It's clear they know each other.Fast forward some time—Jyn is now an adult and in a holding cell. Meanwhile, a cargo pilot named Bodhi shows up and claims to Saw that he wants to join the Rebels.Jyn is being transferred with other prisoners when Rebel forces suddenly break in and free them, led by Cassian Andor. Together, they fight stormtroopers and escape.They take a reprogrammed Imperial droid named K-2SO and head somewhere else, where they encounter more stormtroopers who are gathering crystals to power the Death Star.They're about to get captured, but a blind spiritual warrior named Chirrut Îmwe and his mercenary friend Baze Malbus help them out. This allows Jyn to make contact with Saw, who is holding Bodhi. She sees a message in which Galen reveals that he secretly built a vulnerability into the Death Star. The schematics are stored in an Imperial data vault.Onboard the Death Star, Orson orders a test strike on the moon where the gang is. Jyn and her group take Bodhi and flee, but Saw stays behind and dies.Orson gets an atta boy from his higher-up.Bodhi leads the group to Galen's Imperial research facility. Rebel bombers attack the site. Galen is wounded and dies in Jyn's arms before she escapes with the group on a stolen Imperial cargo shuttle.Orson is summoned by Darth Vader—he's back, baby!—to explain the attack. Orson's like, “Now that you've seen my work, maybe introduce me to the Emperor?” Vader force-chokes him and says, “Get back to work and don't cause any more trouble.”Jyn proposes a mission to steal the Death Star schematics, but the Alliance Council thinks there's no chance of success. Frustrated by their inaction, Jyn's group leads a small squad of volunteers—Bodhi dubs them “Rogue One.” Jyn, Cassian, and K-2SO infiltrate the Imperial base while the others create a diversion with a space battle.The Alliance eventually joins the fight, sending their fleet. Jyn gets the schematics but is ambushed by Orson, who is shot and wounded by Cassian. Jyn transmits the schematics to the Rebel command ship just before the Death Star fires a beam that destroys the base—and them.The Rebel fleet tries to escape, but many ships are intercepted by Darth Vader. He boards the command ship and wrecks everyone in an attempt to recover the plans, but a smaller ship escapes with them. Princess Leia declares that the schematics will provide hope for the Rebellion—some might even call it a new hope.
