Episode Overview: Andor Season 2, Episode 7 – "The Messenger"Happy New Year, 2026! Hunter and Jessica are finally back to break down the calm before the storm in Andor Season 2, Episode 7, "The Messenger".In this episode, the Empire is busy staging false flag operations, and Dedra Meero is choking on her ambitions while trying to keep Syril Karn in line. Jessica has some choice words for Dedra's manipulation tactics, describing her farewell to Syril as the "most unpassionate kiss ever"—akin to kissing a "stranger's dog". Meanwhile, on Yavin, a Force healer gets inside Cassian's head (and shoulder), planting the seeds for Bix to realize she might be holding him back from his destiny. From Mon Mothma's senate struggles to the "dead meat" rookie troopers arriving on Gorman, the hosts analyze how all the pieces are being placed for a massive catastrophe. Grab your sniper rifles (some assembly required) and join the discussion! Join us on Facebook: The Purrgil Pod. We are also on Blue Sky and Mastedon. And check out our website! www.ThePurrgilPod.com

Jessica and Hunter of The Purrgil Pod dive deep into an episode filled with dubious spycraft, ruthless ambition, and highly questionable romance. The hosts tackle the questionable logic behind Cassian Andor's new cover identity as "Varian Skye," a tailor who apparently believes a fancy jacket is enough to bypass galactic facial recognition. Listen as they break down how Syril Karn, convinced he's a special double agent, delivers important data to the rebels via a very peculiar gift for his terrifying mother. But the real focus? Syril's reward for his loyalty: a highly supervised, lights-off, one-hour domestic visit with the ruthless Dedra Meero, prompting the hosts to ask: is that all they get?. Plus, Luthen and Klaya face a crisis over a bugged antique that could blow their entire operation, and the hosts try to figure out if Saw Gerrera is actually getting high off explosive Rhyonium fuel fumes while testing his new, very unlucky recruit. Tune in now—you won't want to miss Hunter and Jessica's takes on heart gestures and space "Cheerios"

Armor Party talks with Brendan Wayne, character performer of the helmeted Din Djarin of the Mandalorian. For 2 seasons of the Mandalorian and with appearances in The Book of Boba Fett, Brendan walks us through how his skills and training as a gunslinger inspired the costume and persona of the badass beneath the Beskar. Hear about his humble journey from fitting into a costume designed for a bigger actor, almost missing the audition for Dad-duties, and what his Grandfather, John "The Duke" Wayne, thought about Star Wars.Follow Brendan WayneSubscribe to Thank the Maker on YouTubeSupport Thank the Maker on PatreonGet Thank the Maker merch: thankthemakermerch.comFind the finest garments and accessories in the galaxy at RSVLTSFollow and message us on Instagram to get 20% off your first purchase at rsvlts.com!Follow TTM on social media: thankthemakerpod.comDonate to "WHAT CHOICE? - Star Wars Fans For Abortion Access" at gofundme.Follow the hosts on social media:Adam RussellNick GhanbarianWilliam Ryan KeyMike ForesterJason ChiodoAhsoka, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Rosario Dawson, Hayden Christensen, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor, The Book of Boba Fett, The Bad Batch, The High Republic, #makesolo2happen, The Mandalorian, Star Wars Visions, Anime, Star Wars Anime, Disney Gallery, Galactic Starcruiser, Halcyon, Chandrila Star Line, Galaxy's Edge, Rogue Squadron, Disney+ Day, Hondo Supply, Armor Party, Kathleen Kennedy, Star Wars Celebration, Star Wars Black Series, Temuera Morrison, Black Krrsantan, Tosche Station, Danny Trejo, Fennec Shand, Ming-Na Wen, Mark Hamill, Luke Skywalker, Cad Bane, Princess Leia, Vivien Lyra Blair, Carrie Fisher, Tales of the Jedi, Cassian Andor, Bix Caleen, Brasso, Luthen Rael, Mon Mothma, Vel Sartha, Cinta Kaz, Dedra Meero, Syril Karn, Orson Krennic

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

Come listen to Will, Tim, and Ben explore the new changes to the Legion landscape. Ryan pulled a Rip Van Winkle and slept through the recording. Overall, we are pleased until we are not, and shocked when we probably shouldn't have been. Stay for the conversation after the episode about the great sci fi epic Dune! Editor Ben here: I tried for hours to fix Tim's audio to little luck. I apologize. It is definitely NOT what we like to put out and it is the best I could fix. We will deal harshly with our Syril Karn of STABcast, Tim, in a manner that would make Orson Krennic proud. It won't make his mother proud, but that has always been a tough sell.

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.
