Wake up babe, new Saw Gerrera backstory just dropped.This week, we're asking what makes a Rebel cell the “real deal.” Is it Saw Gerrera's Cave Angels, who have all the fire—but lack direction? Is it the Ghorman Front, who want the Empire gone, but haven't looked past their front doorstep? And do Luthen, Kleya, and Cassian count, when they keep raising the barrier to entry to the Rebellion?We're asking all this, and whether Dedra cares if Syril lives or dies, in our recap of “I Have Friends Everywhere” (Andor S2, E5).New to Growing Up Skywalker?

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.

Andor S2 is over, but not for us! We continue to celebrate this monumental series as we delve into topics or characters we didn't have enough time to discuss during our regular coverage. Today we discuss everyone's favorite anarcho-rebel, SAW GERRERA, and the unsung hero: the ISB double-agent, LONNI JUNG.In a field full of heroes, these two stand out for their unconventional approaches to rebellion. While Saw's bombastic and "chaotic" approach to his fight of the Empire drew enemies within allies, Lonni's quiet and ultimately quiet contributions to the Alliance cannot be overstated. Along with Nemik's call to rebellion through his manifesto, these two characters' sacrifice will always be remembered!• • •Triad of the Force is a channel which was featured on the Podcast Stage at Star Wars Celebration 2022 and 2023, featuring Nani and Gus, lifelong Puerto Rican friends who after years of discussing the media they love, came together and created their show.

In this video, Liam and Sanak predict the final arc of Andor Season 2, set in 1 BBY and leading directly into the events of Rogue One. In it, they discuss how much sway Rogue One will have in the conclusion of the Andor story, how Cassian will work through his final years with K-2SO re-programmed by his side but Bix gone, how Dedra may get further involved with the Death Star work alongside Krennic but could die by the hand of Luthen (and vice-versa), what the role of Mon Mothma and Bail Organa looks like after her escape, if characters with Rogue One backstory like Galen Erso and Bodhi Rook will appear, and if Saw Gerrera gets to have the most plot-heavy and centered storytelling in this final arc of the show.
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?

THE LIGHTSABER LOUNGE: Rebellious Conversations about the Star Wars Universe.
In this episode, we continue following the latest chapters of Andor Season 2, focusing on character development, moral complexities, and the intricate relationships between characters like Syril, Dedra, and Saw Gerrera. We get into the themes of rebellion, sacrifice, and the personal struggles faced by the characters, particularly Bix's descent into addiction and the implications of their choices in the broader context of the rebellion, Cassian's journey, the Empire's manipulative strategies, and Luthen's duality.
In this video, Liam and Sanak predict the next arc of Andor Season 2, set in 2 BBY. They discuss how all the characters will interact, deal with, or react to the Ghorman Massacre. They also discuss how much Mon Mothma will shape and lead this arc as a potential primary lead, how Saw Gerrera may use and manipulate the Ghorman Massacre for his own needs under the guise of a unified Rebel Alliance, how and if Cassian finally interacts with Mon Mothma and begins his shift away from Luthen, who will die during the arc and during the massacre, and the possibility of the majority of the last episode be focused on the aftermath and transition to the final arc before Rogue One.

Matthew, Alex (also known as "Where is Jimmy"), and Erin (also known as "A Sapphic Love Affair") dissect the middle chapters of Andor Season 2. The group dives into how these pivotal episodes mark the halfway point of both the season and the entire Andor series, discussing the show's transformation into a sophisticated spy drama within the Star Wars universe.The hosts analyze how Cassian Andor has transitioned from a side character in the first three episodes to now taking center stage. His complex relationship with Bix becomes a major focus, with the hosts questioning whether their relationship is healing or codependent. What began as a seemingly sweet reunion ultimately reveals deep trauma, culminating in a shocking revenge scene that surprised everyone.Key Storylines and Discussion PointsThe hosts examine multiple concurrent plotlines developing across different planets. Saw Gerrera's militant rebel faction introduces bizarre elements like "radonium huffing" that may explain his physical deterioration by Rogue One. Meanwhile, the Ghorman storyline showcases inexperienced rebels making fatal mistakes despite warnings from more seasoned fighters like Cassian.The Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) scenes particularly captivated the hosts, with Syril's complex double-agent role generating significant discussion. The memorable phrase "turn out the lights" between Dedra and Syril sparked playful speculation about their unconventional relationship, while Mon Mothma's careful political maneuvering at an Imperial gala showcases her walking a dangerous line.Additional topics discussed:Did the shocking Dr. Gorst murder scene feel earned or rushed?How does Tony Gilroy excel at writing powerful monologues, particularly Val's heartbreaking speech after Cinta's death?Why was Benjamin Bratt's recasting as Bail Organa jarring for some fans?What connections exist between the rebel base location and The Force Awakens?How do the Ghorman massacre references cleverly incorporate EU/Legends material into canon?What parallels exist between Imperial loyalty oaths and real-world nationalist rituals?Which moments highlight the stark contrast between amateur and professional rebels?The hosts conclude by noting they attended a theatrical screening of Revenge of the Sith, teasing bonus content for premium subscribers in their next episode. This mid-season analysis captures how Andor continues to elevate Star Wars storytelling with sophisticated character development, political intrigue, and morally complex takes on rebellion. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

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 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 iconic vistas time. For the first time in Star Wars chronology, welcome to Yavin 4!

Have you ever wanted to spend half an hour debating the moral calculus of war and the conflicting ethics embodied by Saw Gerrera? Boy are you in the right place! In “Ghosts of Geonosis,” Rebels' mid-season 3 arc, we do a deep dive into fanaticism, rebellion, and the meta-narrative of a character who has been in just about every single Star Wars series up until now. Saw Gerrera is one of the most puzzling and polarizing characters in Star Wars, and Ghosts of Geonosis pitches his rebelliousness against the larger backdrop of the Rebellion.
