Regresamos a una Galaxia muy, muy lejana para ver qué ocurre cuando la Historia toca la puerta: la segunda temporada de Andor, la serie más alabada de la franquicia hasta ahora. Cassian regresa como punta de lanza bajo las órdenes del maestro manipulador Luthen Rael mientras que Mon Mothma siente las presiones de tener una […]
¡Cancelaron la mejor serie de Star Wars! Nah, se termina Andor, pero ya sabíamos que iban a ser solo dos temporadas, porque... bueno, ustedes vieron Rogue One, ¿no? Eze y MaGnUs se sientan a hacer la RE: seña de la segunda temporada de la serie, siguiendo al propio Cassian Andor, pero también a grandes personajes descubiertos en la anterior, desde nuevos como Luthen Rael o Kleya Marki, hasta pre existentes en la franquicia (pero nunca desarollados) como Mon Mothma. Además de dar background sobre los orígenes de ciertos elementos centrales de la serie como parte de manuales de juegos de rol de los noventas, repasamos todas las implicancias políticas del comportamiento monstruosos del fascismo, con la galaxia muy lejana actuando como un espejo de nuestra propia realidad. Para redondear, también reseñamos Tales of the Underworld, la nueva temporada de la antología "Tales", con el orígen del mercenario Cad Bane, y un nuevo camino para la no-sith-pero-tampoco-jedi Asajj Ventress. Con música de Brandon Roberts, Woody Guthrie, y The Kiners. Próximo programa: Karate Kid - Legends.

“Rebellions are built on hope.” And after seeing the series finale we know they're also built on the back of Luthen Rael, and Kleya Marki, and Lonni Jung and of course Mon Mothma and Cassian Andor.

Andor is the greatest Star Wars we've ever seen on any screen and it's not close. My close friend Alan Malfavon joins in to talk about the brilliance of this show, what it means to us, and what we hope to see next.About our guest:Alan Malfavon resituates Mexico's socio-political, cultural, and economic networks with the Atlantic World and the Greater Caribbean, and it dissects and problematizes those networks by centering the Black and Afro-Mexican experience. His research interrogates and subverts archival silences that have erased Black and Afro-Mexican agency from narratives of Mexican identity and nation-state formation, seeking to diversify these narratives by foregrounding the voices, perspectives, and actions of Afro-descendants.

In this latest episode of SuperHero Homies!, we dive deep into Andor Season 2 Episodes 7–9, breaking down the thrilling developments, intense character arcs, and stunning visuals that have made this season one of the best in Star Wars television. If you're a fan of Andor, Rogue One, or just love expertly crafted prestige sci-fi TV, this review is for you! We explore the evolving dynamics of characters like Cassian Andor, Mon Mothma, Luthen Rael, and Dedra Meero, and how their decisions are shaping the galaxy. From high-stakes tension to razor-sharp dialogue and breathtaking cinematography, we unpack what's made this middle act so powerful — and how it redefines our understanding of Rogue One.
Frank and Thomas take on the powerful ending of Andor Season 2, reflecting on its emotional resonance, brilliant writing, and how it elevates Cassian's story to legendary status. They dissect key character arcs like Luthen's sacrificial role, Dedra's collapse within the Empire, and Kleya's haunting rise. From hallway fights to rebel politics, this finale proves Andor is one of the boldest Star Wars stories ever told. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Intro and reflections on the journey 01:30 Final three episodes overview 03:10 Luthen's arc and thematic payoff 07:00 Dedra's tragic fate and Empire hierarchy 13:30 Kleya's cold resolve and emotional closure 17:00 Cassian's mission, K-2SO's brutal debut 26:00 Rebel council confrontation and Mon Mothma's silence 30:00 Toast to the fallen rebels 38:00 Cassian's legacy lives on 41:00 Final thoughts, theories, and rankings Key Takeaways: Andor ends with a grounded, emotional finale that sets up Rogue One seamlessly.

¡Oh, viajeros de galaxias y devoradores de historias, bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas, Cine, televisión, música y videojuegos para escuchar.Soy José Enrique Guzmán, su guía en este paseo por esta galaxia muy, muy lejana y hoy, con el fervor de un piloto rebelde, nos lanzamos al torbellino del tercer arco de la segunda temporada de Andor —episodios 7, 8 y 9—, una odisea que brilla como un sable láser en la penumbra, redefiniendo lo que Star Wars puede llegar a ser. Andor es, sin exagerar, un milagro televisivo. Bajo la pluma alquimista de Tony Gilroy, ese orfebre de Rogue One y Michael Clayton, Andor no es solo una serie; es un tapiz tejido con hilos de humanidad, donde cada puntada revela el alma de sus personajes. Cassian Andor, con su corazón fracturado pero indomable; Mon Mothma, cuya elegancia oculta una voluntad de acero; Luthen Rael, un titiritero que juega con fuego para iluminar la oscuridad. Ellos no habitan la pantalla: la incendian, cada diálogo es un dardo, cada silencio un grito, y la serie destila una madurez que eleva el mito galáctico a nuevas cumbres.Y en este tercer arco, cinéfilos hierberos, la cosa se pone seria.Después de una primera temporada que plantó las semillas y una segunda que las ha regado con intriga política y dilemas morales, llegamos al evento que terminó siendo el latido fundacional de la Alianza Rebelde: la masacre de Ghorman. Ghorman es más que una tragedia galáctica; es un espejo de nuestras propias heridas históricas, un eco de Sharpeville en 1960, donde la policía sudafricana abrió fuego contra una multitud desarmada, pero encendió la resistencia, o de Tiananmén en 1989, cuando tanques aplastaron la voz de los valientes, que le gritaron al mundo que la libertad no se negocia. En Ghorman el Imperio muestra su garra, pero en su arrogancia siembra las semillas de su ruina, con Mon Mothma rompiendo su máscara de senadora para denunciar al Emperador como “monstruo que vendrá por todos nosotros”, un paso que la convierte en fugitiva y líder.Prepárense para un arco que no solo promete acción y tensión, sino una reflexión profunda sobre el costo de la libertad y el poder de la resistencia colectiva. Así que, agarren sus blasters, ajusten sus auriculares y únanse a Diosías Acuña y a mi persona en esta galaxia de emociones, análisis y, por supuesto, un poquito de hierba cinéfila. Andor está a punto de encender la mecha y nosotros estamos listos para el estallido.¡No te puedes perder esta conversa!Les recuerdo a nuestros seguidores que CINEFILIA Y OTRAS HIERBAS tiene un Patreon, en el cual les ofrecemos beneficios adicionales a quienes decidan apoyarnos económicamente: www.patreon.com/cinefiliayotrashierbasAdicionalmente, si quieren escribirnos pueden hacerlo al correo: cinefiliayotrashierbas@gmail.comNo olviden suscribirse si aún no lo han hecho, compartir este episodio por lo menos con dos amigos, dejar un comentario y un like, eso nos ayudará a crecer y a encontrar más audiencia.¡Que disfruten el episodio!#Andor #Imperio #StarWars #Ghorman
Met de derde Andor-trilogie van seizoen twee bereikt het verhaal een nieuw hoogtepunt. Een jaar na de overval op Ghorman voert het Keizerrijk harde repressie door, met checkpoints en avondklokken. Terwijl Mon Mothma diplomatie zoekt, bereidt het verzet zich voor op Yavin 4. Cassian Andor en Bix Caleen leven in de jungle, maar Cassian worstelt met zijn rol als leider. Na een geheime opdracht van Luthen Rael om Meero uit te schakelen, breekt op Ghorman een bloedige opstand uit. Meero ontsnapt, maar Syril Karn beseft dat hij slechts een pion is. Mon Mothma bereidt haar laatste, riskante toespraak voor, terwijl ze ontdekt dat haar vertrouweling voor Luthen werkt. Dankzij Cassian en Luthen wordt haar ontsnapping voorbereid. Ondertussen maakt Bix een pijnlijk offer, en de rebellen herprogrammeren een KX-droid. We duiken diep op de gebeurtenissen in...Niets meer missen?

In this powerful episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank is joined by Jonathan to dissect the political, emotional, and action-packed core of Andor Season 2 Episodes 7–9. Together, they explore the tragic Ghorman Massacre, Mon Mothma's pivotal speech, the expanding spy network, and Cassian's next chapter. With deep analysis and personal insight, they reflect on how these episodes tie together classic Star Wars themes with real-world parallels—delivering some of the most compelling moments in modern Star Wars storytelling. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 - Introduction and Jonathan returns 00:40 - The political horror of the Ghorman Massacre 02:00 - Set design of the plaza and video game comparisons 04:10 - Cassian's injury and introduction of the force healer 05:45 - Is the Force conscious? Free will and balance discussion 08:25 - Bix's emotional exit and its impact on Cassian 10:10 - Mon Mothma's political maneuvering and Bail Organa's sacrifice 11:40 - Syril's arc and tragic loyalty to the Empire 13:00 - Dedra's descent into darkness 15:30 - Cassian's confrontation with Syril 17:00 - Aftermath of the massacre and the consequences 18:45 - The bellboy's subtle help and hidden rebellion 20:00 - Ghorman's massacre as political propaganda 22:00 - Cassian's escape and rise of K-2SO 24:30 - Episode 9: Mon Mothma's speech and the spark of rebellion 26:00 - Rebels connection and broader context of the speech 29:00 - Rewatching the original trilogy with new context 30:45 - Hopes for a prequel about Luthen and Saw Gerrera 32:00 - Mon Mothma meeting Cassian for the first time 34:00 - Predictions for the upcoming Andor finale episodes Key Takeaways: The Ghorman Massacre is a tragic turning point, echoing real-world atrocities and highlighting the manipulative power of propaganda. The set design and realism in Andor immerse viewers in a grounded, lived-in Star Wars galaxy. The subtle introduction of Force healing adds depth without relying on Jedi tropes. Syril Karn remains a tragic figure—loyal to an empire that exploits him, destined to become a symbol of moral ambiguity. Cassian's trajectory continues toward heroism, setting up his Rogue One partnership with K-2SO. Mon Mothma's speech might feel underwhelming alone, but it serves as a crucial rallying cry across the Rebellion. This trio of episodes shows Andor at its most emotionally and politically complex—combining action, tragedy, and momentum. Quotes: “You have lived rent free in that man's mind for years. You don't even know his face.” – Frank “The Force isn't just about lightsabers and super jumps. It's an energy that pushes back when imbalance grows.” – Jonathan “Star Wars is at its best when it's echoing real-world horrors—this arc proves that.” – Frank “Her speech wasn't to sway the Empire. It was a signal to every rebel cell: it's time.” – Frank Call to Action: Love these deep dives into Andor?

Send us a textThe galaxy far, far away has never felt so close to home. Andor strips away the mystical trappings of Star Wars to deliver something revolutionary: a raw, unflinching look at ordinary people pushed to extraordinary measures under the crushing weight of Imperial rule.From its opening moments, Andor establishes itself as something entirely different. We journey alongside Cassian, brilliantly portrayed by Diego Luna, as a chance encounter with corporate security officers spirals into a life-changing path toward rebellion. The beauty of this series lies in its patience—it doesn't rush to spectacular set pieces but instead builds its world methodically, letting us feel every oppressive regulation, every injustice, every small act of defiance that eventually ignites into something bigger.What makes this show truly exceptional is how it redefines heroism in the Star Wars universe. These aren't Jedi or chosen ones destined for greatness—they're damaged, desperate people making dangerous choices. The heist sequence culminating with the Eye of Aldani stands as one of the most visually stunning and emotionally complex moments in Star Wars history, revealing characters whose motivations span from idealism to revenge to simple survival. Stellan Skarsgård's Luthen Rael embodies this complexity perfectly, his antiquities dealer facade masking a revolutionary willing to sacrifice everything—including his soul—for the cause.Andor achieves something remarkable by working within the confines of established canon. By showing us the messy birth of rebellion years before A New Hope, it deepens our understanding of the entire saga. This isn't just great Star Wars—it's great television, period. Whether you're a lifelong fan or new to the galaxy, Andor offers something profound: a reminder that revolutions aren't born from heroes or mystical powers, but from ordinary people who simply decide they can no longer live under tyranny. The rebellion begins here.

Een jaar na hun ontsnapping uit Mina-Rau, vechten Cassian Andor en Bix Caleen in de schaduwen van Coruscant voor Luthen Rael. Terwijl Bix wordt achtervolgd door haar verleden, woedt de strijd om de ziel van Ghorman.

In de straten van Palmo smeedt hij een gevaarlijk bondgenootschap met Carro Rylanz. Op D'Qar ontdekt Wilmon Paak de duistere waarheid achter Saw Gerrera's strijd.

On this episode of Challenge Accepted, Thomas and Frank break down episodes 4–6 of Andor Season 2. From the show's Cold War-style spycraft to its bold commentary on propaganda and rebellion, the hosts dig into what makes this arc one of the best in Star Wars storytelling. They explore how Bix's trauma brings emotional depth, why Luthen is playing 4D chess with everyone's lives, and how the Gorman resistance draws heavy inspiration from real-world history. Plus, they highlight the episode's most intense scenes, character arcs, and political parallels that make Andor so gripping. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Intro and structure of the arc 00:27 Reaction to episodes 4–6 as a cohesive unit 01:15 The density and emotional weight of each episode 02:07 One-year time jump and Bix's PTSD 03:25 The cost of rebellion and addiction as escape 04:19 Luthen's manipulation and cold leadership 05:52 Cassian's struggle between sacrifice and morality 06:36 The spy thriller format and deeper writing 08:07 Espionage layers and who is playing who 10:15 Gorman as the sacrificial spark 11:06 Syril's complex alignment and subtle performance 13:54 Star Wars universe tie-ins and worldbuilding 15:13 Syril's mom and media manipulation parallels 18:45 Historical inspiration from the French resistance 21:11 Willimon's role and Saw Gerrera's brutal methods 24:33 The cost of extreme leadership and terrorism debate 26:01 Bix and Cassian's revived relationship 27:14 Spy fashion and Cassian's new role 29:22 The tension-filled party and political subterfuge 33:24 Claire's risky heist and what it might cost 36:10 Cinta and Vel's fractured relationship 37:52 The devastating fallout of one fatal mistake 40:07 The armory's shadow and symbolism 42:17 Gorman's inevitable fall and the false hope 43:18 Final thoughts and next episode hopes Key Takeaways: Andor continues to push the boundaries of Star Wars storytelling with rich political themes and complex character dynamics. Luthen is playing a dangerous game, manipulating even his allies for the sake of the greater good. The Gorman resistance mirrors the real-life Maquis of WWII, making the rebellion feel historically grounded. Syril emerges as one of the most compelling wild cards, torn between loyalty and doubt. The show's choice not to spoon-feed the audience adds emotional weight and realism. Bix's arc powerfully illustrates the long-term psychological toll of war. The episodes' spy-thriller tone reinforces the stakes of espionage in a galaxy ruled by fear and control. Memorable Quotes: “Bix just has all the worst things. Between the PTSD, addiction, and everything she's endured… this is some heavy Star Wars.” “Luthen is willing to sacrifice Gorman so that others might rise. He's using the tools of the enemy to beat them.” “They're not heroes. They're kindling. They just don't know it.” “This is the spy thriller we didn't know we were missing.” “Are these rebels heroes or tyrants? It depends on which side of the coin you're on.” Call to Action: If you enjoyed this deep dive into Andor Season 2, be sure to subscribe, leave us a review, and share the episode using the hashtag #GormanIsAGoner.

In “Andor” — the latest series in the “Star Wars” franchise — actor Stellan Skarsgård (Dune, Nymphomaniac, Mamma Mia!) plays Luthen Rael, a charming but ruthless rebel leader who fronts as an antiques dealer. Stellan sits down with Tom Power to talk about the new season of “Andor” and why he's drawn to morally complex characters. Plus, he shares a beautiful story about his time working with Robin Williams in Toronto on “Good Will Hunting.” If you enjoy this conversation, check out Tom's 2023 interview with Stellan's son, Alexander Skarsgård.

Cassian Andor steals a new TIE Fighter, Mon Mothma struggles with the reality of the Rebellion during her daughter's wedding, and Luthen Rael does what must be done in the first three episodes of Andor season two.
In this video, Liam and Sanak give their predictions for the next arc of Andor Season 2, set in 3 BBY. They discuss where the primary settings of the characters will be, and whether or not Coruscant may be the best way to have all protagonists and antagonists relatively together, and the possibility of the rumored Bail Organa recast with Benjamin Bratt occurring during this arc. They also discuss the potential for a power struggle between a potentially more assertive Mon Mothma and a weakening Luthen Rael, and where Saw Gerrera and his Partisans could come into play with the move towards the organized Rebel Alliance. Other odd ends, such as Dedra and Syril's twisted romance, Bix and the remaining Ferrix survivors next move, and connections to Star Wars Rebels are also discussed.
It's the UConn Popcast, and today we react to Andor Season 2, episodes 1-3. We break down the politics of these episodes, focusing on the motives and aims of the rebellion and the Empire. Both sides have major coordination problems in these episodes, although the causes are very different. We explain and analyze the recurrent problems of authoritarian control and rebellion against it, and the way Andor comments upon them. We see a major theme of these three episodes as “the personal is political,” as micro motives are tied to macro causes on all sides. We also explore the dynamics of misinformation, double-talk, and masks worn by Dedra, Mon Mothma, Luthen Rael, and Cassian. We argue that Cassian is perhaps the most confident and action-oriented character at this point in the show, as he is able to operate out in the open as a mature and competent rebel leader.

In this powerful episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank and Thomas return to break down the first three episodes of Andor Season 2. With its return, Andor brings layered storytelling, political tension, and the gritty realism that has set it apart from other Star Wars shows. The hosts discuss Cassian's full transformation into a rebel leader, Mon Mothma's personal sacrifices, and the Empire's terrifying strategies of control. From unexpected romances to moral dilemmas and dark parallels with real-world issues, this is a deep dive into one of the most human stories in the galaxy far, far away. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Introduction and three-episode format discussion 00:55 The return of Andor and its standout writing 02:00 Cassian's leadership and evolution as a rebel 03:30 Comparing Cassian to Han Solo and grounding Star Wars 06:00 New rebel factions and the fragmented resistance 08:00 Lord of the Flies parallels and chaos in rebellion ranks 09:30 Empire propaganda and the Ministry of Fables 11:00 Cassian's friends facing injustice and survival 13:00 Nazi parallels and real-world reflection in the Empire 15:00 Mon Mothma's emotional journey and her daughter's marriage 18:00 Tension between tradition and rebellion in Mon Mothma's family 21:00 Tay's breakdown and the price of loyalty 24:00 Cassian's jungle mission and factional mistrust 29:00 Symbolism in the children's games and the Empire's power 33:00 The complexity of youthful rebellion 35:00 Mon Mothma's dance and her moment of joy 38:00 The cost of sacrifice and Luthen's moral gray zone 41:00 Dedra and Cyril's disturbing dynamic 44:00 Bix's trauma and the grittiest scene in Star Wars history 47:00 Visual direction and symbolism in the Tie fighter rescue 50:00 Reflecting on Luke Skywalker's role in the original trilogy 54:00 The state of modern Star Wars, The Acolyte, and storytelling standards 57:00 Starfighter, Gosling, and what's next in the galaxy 58:10 Final thoughts and listener callout Key Takeaways: Andor Season 2 deepens its focus on grounded storytelling and moral nuance. Cassian fully embraces his role as a leader, bringing compassion to rebellion. Mon Mothma's storyline explores generational expectations and political sacrifice. Empire propaganda is shown through chillingly realistic parallels to history. The show doesn't shy away from mature, dark themes rarely seen in Star Wars. Visual direction and character writing are among the strongest in the franchise. Quotes: “This isn't just Star Wars. This is storytelling that trusts the audience.” “The rebellion is messy.

Skywalking Through Neverland: A Star Wars / Disney Fan Podcast
We break down and review the first 3 ANDOR Season 2 episodes, with a special focus on the “Dinner Party from Hell!” with Dedra Meero, Syril Karn, and his mom the emotionally abusive Eedy.

This truly relatable “meet the in-laws” dinner speaks to the entire series, as ANDOR is full of relatable moments juxtaposed with galaxy-altering events. Mon Mothma consoles her daughter while Luthen Rael ruthlessly protects information vital to the upstart Rebels. B2 plays tag with kids while Cassian inadvertently finds a new base for the burgeoning Rebellion. Episodes we break down: E1: One Year Later E2: Sagrona Teema E3: Harvest Today in Star Wars History 4/21/1980 The Empire Strikes Back Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by John Williams, was released. Before the film's release the album had already sold three million copies. The soundtrack spends eighteen weeks on Billboard's 200 list and peaks at #4 on the week of July 12th.

Cassian sets off for a new adventure, leaving Ferrix, and his troubles with Pre-Mor, behind. We're introduced to a new cast of characters as we enter the next three-episode arc, including Mon Mothma and Luthen Rael's alter ego. We gush over Stellan Skarsgård and Genevieve O'Reilly's ability to speak in "thieves' cant" and seamlessly go from portraying their characters as confident, high society figures to intense, fearful, and cautious. Then, in our Outer Rim, we talk about David Lynch and how much he and his work have meant to us.

Everything comes to a head in Andor Season 1, Episode 3 "Reckoning" as Luthen Rael arrives to meet Cassian on Ferrix. We discuss the workers' aiding Cassian 's escape--letting us and the Pre-Mor Authority hear what a reckoning sounds like--Luthen's knowledge of Cassian's past, and the brutal treatment of Maarva and Bix. It's hard to believe this show keeps getting better after this. And for our Outer Rim segment--Tommy's on an anime kick, watching Kaiju No. 8, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and Gundam Wing, while Cass is wheeling and dealing in Weather Factory's Book of Hours.

How does Star Wars help us understand resistance and maintain hope in challenging times? In this timely episode of Star Wars Generations, host Matthew welcomes back Paul Hoppe for a deep dive into the themes of rebellion, resistance, and the ongoing fight against oppression through the lens of Star Wars storytelling.The conversation explores how Star Wars has evolved from presenting "good versus evil" narratives to tackling more complex questions about resistance movements. How do people move from hopelessness to action? What makes someone willing to stand up against oppression? Through analysis of key moments from the original trilogy, The Last Jedi, Andor, and other Star Wars media, Matthew and Paul examine how the franchise portrays the messy realities of rebellion.A central focus emerges: what happens when hope seems lost and "no one is coming to help"? The hosts draw parallels between General Organa's abandoned call for aid in The Last Jedi and real-world movements for change, discussing how communities can maintain hope while acknowledging harsh realities.The discussion culminates in an analysis of Andor's groundbreaking portrayal of rebellion, examining how it presents multiple valid but conflicting approaches to fighting oppression through characters like Mon Mothma and Luthen Rael.Other key topics covered:The evolution of Imperial imagery and metaphors from the Original Trilogy to modern Star WarsHow Anakin's fall in the prequels mirrors modern authoritarian mindsetsThe role of fear and hope in both Star Wars storytelling and real resistance movementsComparisons between fictional rebellions and historical liberation movementsThe importance of community and collective action in effective resistanceThe complex moral choices faced by characters in Rogue One and AndorWhether you're a lifelong Star Wars fan seeking deeper meaning in the saga or someone looking for hope and inspiration in difficult times, this episode offers thoughtful perspectives on how Star Wars continues to help us process and understand the ongoing struggle between oppression and resistance.Note: This episode would normally have been released on Thursday, November 14th, but we decided to move it up given its relevance to recent events.
