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.

This week, join Andrew (@StarlightAndrew) & Donovan (@DonovanMeade) as they discuss the 3rd arc of Andor Season 2! After a season's worth of build-up, we finally witness the Ghorman Massacre, and it's immediate aftermath. We talk about the biggest moments from the episodes - including Cassian's encounter with a Force healer on Yavin IV, his greater role in the Rebellion, and how his future with Bix changes, Syril Karn's uncovering of the truth behind the Empire's role on Ghorman, and his realization of what he contributed to before he comes face-to-face with the root of his problems, Wilmon's greater role with Luthen's rebels, Mon Mothma's incredible speech against the Empire following the Massacre, and her subsequent escape from Coruscant with Cassian, the "birth" of K-2SO, and so much more! Chilling, heartbreaking, profound, dark, and deeply meaningful in today's world, these were some of the best Star Wars stories ever told.Episodes Discussed: "Messenger" (S2E7), "Who Are You?"

Katharina und Tobi arbeiten die intensiven Ereignisse von Folgen 7-9 der zweiten Andor-Staffel auf: Von Giggeln über Ghorman zur Gravitas. Und natürlich müssen wir das alles erstmal sacken lassen. Wir sprechen über die Tragik des Syril Karn, über unflätige Ausdrucksweisen, Cassians Rolle als „Bote“ – und das alles dieses Mal nach Schauplätzen sortiert: Von Yavin […]
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?

Senator Mon Mothma balanceert op het slappe koord van de Senaat, terwijl Syril Karn, in dienst van het Keizerrijk, heimelijk infiltreert in het verzet. 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. Verraders worden ontmaskerd, offers worden gebracht, en een tragische overval ontketent chaos.

Andor is terug! De bekroonde Star Wars-serie keert terug met de langverwachte première van seizoen twee op Disney Plus! Het is daarom tijd om op de eerste drie afleveringen in te gaan. Te midden van de dreigende opmars van het Keizerrijk waagt Cassian Andor zich aan een levensgevaarlijke missie. Hij steelt een experimentele TIE Avenger en ontsnapt naar een afgelegen junglemaan, waar hij midden in een hevige strijd belandt tussen gestrande strijders. Maar ver van het geweld proberen Bix, Brasso en Wilmon Paak een rustig bestaan te leiden op het landbouwplaneet Mina-Rautot het Keizerrijk hen op het spoor komt na de bloedige opstand op Ferrix. Op Chandrila balanceert Senator Mon Mothma op een messcherpe grens tussen publieke schijn en geheime rebellie, terwijl haar dochter trouwt in een huwelijk doordrenkt van politieke spanning. En op Coruscant bereiden Dedra Meero en Syril Karn zich voor op een nieuwe missie naar het door het Keizerrijk bedreigde Ghorman. De sterren dimmen. Het verzet ontwaakt.

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.

We're less than five months away from the premiere of Andor season 2, so what's in store for us when the best live-action Star Wars TV show returns? In this episode, Eric, Grace, and Haley try to predict the twists and turns that lie ahead for Cassian Andor, Mon Mothma, Luthen Rael, and the other characters we've come to know and love (or love to hate). We consider how far Mon will go, how Luthen will exit the picture (and what we'll learn about his past), and whether Syril Karn and Dedra Meero are destined to gross us all out. Plus, some theories about Uncle Harlo that you probably aren't expecting.
In this week's episode, we consider how the Nintendo Switch does the simple things well, and examine how writers can likewise do the simple things well to write excellent books. TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 223 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is October the 18th, 2024 and today we are discussing five lessons for writers from the Nintendo Switch, of all things. Don't worry, the analogy will make sense later in the show. Before we get into that, let's have an update on my current writing projects. I am pleased to report that Ghost in the Tombs is completely done and is currently publishing on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Google Play, Apple Books, Smashwords, and my Payhip store. The links are already live on some of those stores. This episode should go out on the same day as my newsletter, so by the time this episode goes out, the book should be available at all ebook stores. If you are subscribed to my newsletter, you will also get a free ebook copy of the short story Ghost Tablet. So that is one of the many excellent reasons it is a good idea to subscribe to my newsletter. You can find the details how to do that on my website right at the top. My next main project now that Ghost in the Tombs is out will be Cloak of Illusion, the 12th Cloak Mage book. I am 31,000 words into that. I'm hoping to have that out before the end of November, if all goes well. After that, I am 11,000 words into Orc Hoard and hopefully that will be out in December, if all goes well. As I mentioned earlier, the audiobook of Shield of Darkness is out, as excellently narrated by Brad Wills. You can get that at Audible, Apple, Google Play, and all the usual audiobook stores. We are also working on Shield of Conquest right now, and that is being recorded as we speak. Hollis McCarthy is also recording Cloak of Spears and that should hopefully be out before the end of the year, if all goes well. This week, we're not doing Question of the Week because all my time was going to finishing Ghost in the Tombs, but we will be doing another Question of the Week next week, so watch for that on my website and social media. 00:01:54 Main Topic: 5 Lessons Writers Can Learn from the Switch Now let's go to our main topic for the week, five lessons that writers can learn from the Nintendo Switch. So what can writers learn from the Nintendo Switch? A common complaint I sometimes see among newer writers is that all the stories have been told already, and that there are no truly original stories. Why try writing a mystery novel? Haven't they all been told? Why try writing a romance novel? How many different ways are there for a woman to meet a man and fall in love? Why attempt to write an epic fantasy when there's already Lord of the Rings and Mistborn and Shannara? Haven't all the stories already been told? That is a fair question, but it misunderstands the nature of stories. It's as profound a misunderstanding as saying that just because you've eaten one cheeseburger in your life, there is no need to ever have another or saying that since Pizza Hut makes pizzas, there is no need for anyone else to ever open a pizza restaurant or even to sell frozen pizzas. To dispel this misapprehension, let us turn to the Nintendo Switch. It is not unfair to say that the Switch is one of the most popular game consoles in the world and is likely Nintendo's second best-selling device of all time. The Switch is also significantly less powerful than its chief competitors, the various Xbox and PlayStation models offered by Microsoft and Sony. For that matter, the Switch has only received moderate updates in the seven years it has been on the market. Its internal components are basically those of a decent smartphone from 2017, yet despite that, the Switch has significantly outsold both the Xbox and the PlayStation over the last seven years. It was a remarkable reversal of fortune for Nintendo. The Switch's predecessor, the Wii U, did so badly that the CEO of Nintendo at the time took a 50% pay cut to help avoid layoffs. One thinks American CEOs could stand to learn from this example, but that's a different topic. So to go from that to the best-selling console of the last seven years is quite a swing of fate's pendulum. So let us then ask the obvious question: why did the Switch do better than its competitors, especially when it was so relatively underpowered compared to them in terms of hardware? The answer is simple. The Switch did the basics, but it did the basics exceptionally well and doing the basic simple things exceptionally well is often much harder than people imagine. The Switch doesn't have a lot of the more advanced features from the PC, Xbox, and PlayStation ecosystems, but it doesn't really need them. The Switch is easily portable. It has a strong library of first-party titles. The loading speed isn't great, but it's adequate. It has Switch Online for all the old Nintendo classics. You can play it handheld or docked. It's popular enough that developers want to bring their games to the console whenever possible, including some that some that were very technically difficult, like Skyrim or The Witcher 3. All that sounds simple, but it's much harder to do than it sounds, and the basics done well are always a good thing, regardless of the field. In fact, that is traditionally part of Nintendo's design philosophy. Nintendo has a thing they call “withered technology” (another translation from the Japanese would be “lateral thinking with seasoned technology”), which means rather than trying to use cutting edge technology, they use tried and true older technology and think about developing unique experiences with it. In other words, they used well established basic technology to build the Switch (which wasn't exactly cutting edge even in 2017) and then just tried to use that established technology well. So how does this apply to storytelling and writing? This is, after all, a writing podcast and not a video game podcast (even if I do talk about video games a fair bit). The same approach taken to writing can work out quite well. Don't try to be excessively fancy or flashy. Focus on the simple things and do them as well as you can, and that will probably work out better than trying to be flashy or creative in a way that only ends up being off putting to the reader. So when it comes to writing fiction, what are the simple things that you can do well? What is the “lateral thinking with seasoned technology” you can employ with writing a novel? I think there are five lessons we can take here. #1: Understand the genre you are writing in and try to hit the appropriate tropes for that genre. A lot of writers when they are first starting out try to do too much, like a fantasy author tries to write a 12 volume epic fantasy series as their first writing attempt, or someone tries to fuse a bunch of genres and write a book that is simultaneously romance, a magical realism coming of age story, and somehow also a memoir. If you can't clearly state the genre of your book, you're going to have a hard time selling it. You might also have a hard time even finishing it. What do I mean by the appropriate tropes for the genre? That's just a way of saying that the storytelling conventions that readers come to expect in specific genres. For example, in a happily ever after clean romance, the readers will expect no explicit scenes and that the heroine and the love interest will end up together by the end of the book. Romance tends to have a lot of very specific subgenres, but the rule holds for many other genres as well. Epic fantasy readers typically expect a quest, some journeying, and a band of arguing adventures. Mystery readers expect a mystery with an actual solution at the end. Thriller readers look forward to some well executed fight scenes in a secret government building. Some writers dislike the idea of writing to genre tropes but think of it this way: If you go to an Italian restaurant and order spaghetti carbonara, but the waiter instead brings out a steak burrito bowl with a side of French toast sticks and maple syrup, you're going to be disappointed. Are there people who would enjoy a lunch of a burrito bowl and French toast sticks? Almost certainly, but you ordered spaghetti carbonara. The vast majority of people who go to an Italian restaurant are going to expect Italian food. The same thing applies to genres. If you buy a mystery book, you will expect a mystery novel and not an experimental cross genre thing. If you dislike writing to genre tropes, remember that readers only dislike tropes written to genre conventions if it's done badly, but if you do it well, they appreciate it and that could be one of the simple things that you focus on doing well. #2: A protagonist with relatable problems. Another important basic in genre fiction is the protagonist with problems that the reader can find compelling. There's an endless tedious discussion about whether or not the protagonist should be likable or not, and frankly, it often degenerates into the standard Internet discussion about gender politics, whether or not a female protagonist has to be likable when a male one does not. But in my opinion, that discussion completely misses the point. What makes a character relatable, or more accurately sympathetic to the reader, is the character experiencing a conflict or some sort of emotional pain that allows the reader to sympathize with them. Whether their character is likable is less important than sympathy. Let's take two examples from recent television, specifically Disney properties. The characters of Syril Karn and Dedra Meero from the Star Wars show Andor are unlikable but sympathetic characters, while Jennifer Walters from She Hulk is both unlikable and unsympathetic. The difference between them is instructive for writers. Syril Karn and Dedra Meero are both essentially unlikable villains. Karn is a wannabe mall cop with puffed up delusions of his own importance and Meero is working for the Empire's sinister secret police as a mid-level officer. Yet Karn's circumstances make him emotionally sympathetic. He is stuck in a dead-end job and living with his cruel mother. Meero is trying to do the best job she can in the secret police and is fighting against her obstinate and clueless colleagues within a cumbersome bureaucracy, something many office workers can sympathize with. Indeed, it's clever how the show sets her up as a strong woman making headway in the male dominated secret police, only to yank away the sympathy when she brutally tortures one of the show's protagonists. By contrast, Jennifer Walters is both unlikable and unsympathetic. She's a rich lawyer who has rich lawyer problems, which is generally not sympathetic to most people. Indeed, she strongly establishes herself as unlikable in the first episode when she lectures Bruce Banner (who in past movies tried to kill himself in despair, was hunted by the US government, held as an enslaved gladiator for two years, brutally beaten by Thanos, and fried his right arm with the Infinity Gauntlet) about how much harder her life has been than his, which is objectively not true. As we mentioned with Karn and Meero, it's very possible for unlikable characters to be sympathetic, but Jennifer Walters is so unsympathetic that the best episodes of She Hulk were the ones where she becomes the unsympathetic comedy protagonist like David Brent from the UK Office or Basil Fawlty from Fawlty Towers and she suffers the comedic results of her own bad decisions. What's really compelling is when you have a likeable character who has a sympathetic problem. As an added bonus, it's usually easier to write a likeable character with a sympathetic problem. Striking the balance between an unlikable character with a sympathetic problem is often a challenge for even experienced writers. But if the reader likes your protagonist and the protagonist's problem inspires emotional sympathy in the reader, then that's half the battle. What is the other half of the battle lesson? #3: A strong conflict. I've said on the podcast many times before that conflict is central to storytelling. If you have a sympathetic protagonist who has a serious conflict, you've got yourself the potential for a strong book. Another way of saying conflict is “the problem the protagonist must solve, face, overcome.” If the protagonist doesn't have a problem, he or she might as well sit at home playing well, Nintendo Switch. Fortunately, it is easy to think of a suitable conflict for your story, because in Real Life, the potential causes of conflict are sadly infinite, and you can easily apply that to fiction. Like if you write epic fantasy, you could have the conflict be the quest to stop the Dark Lord, or if you write sci-fi, it could be defeating the invasion of the space bugs. Mysteries have a conflict built in for the genre. Solving the crime, finding a missing person, etc. Thrillers tend to be all about violent conflict, but conflicts don't have to be violent or even high stakes to be emotionally significant. It could be a conflict with a rival at work, or not even involve a person at all, like trying to survive the aftermath of a natural disaster. It boils down to that the protagonist must have a conflict and the protagonist must take some sort of action to resolve that conflict. Stories where this doesn't happen tend to become boring quite quickly. #4: A satisfactory ending. The ending is really, really important. You know how a joke isn't funny if it doesn't have a good punchline? A story with a bad ending, unfortunately, almost always turns out to be a bad story that leaves an unpleasant taste in a reader's mouth. What makes for a good ending? The story's central conflict has to be resolved in a satisfactory way, in a way that generates emotional catharsis. In fantasy, the quest needs to be achieved. In science fiction, the space bugs need to be defeated. In mystery, the killer has to be caught or the mystery resolved in a satisfactory way. In romance, the heroine needs to end up with her love interest. Bad endings are ones that don't resolve the conflict or resolve the conflict in a way that feels like cheating to the reader. This can include the protagonist solving the conflict through no effort or struggle or a Deus Ex Machina style ending where the conflict is solved simply because the author wants to hurry up and finish the book. Granted, this doesn't mean that a good ending is a happy one. The Lord of the Rings had a famously bittersweet ending. Sauron is defeated and the One Ring destroyed, but the Elves leave Middle Earth forever, and Frodo is too wounded to return to his homeland, instead choosing to accompany the Elves into the West. There are many other examples. The mystery could have the detective solving the crime, but at the cost of his career and his marriage. The protagonist of a military science fiction story could win the battle but be the only surviving member of his squad. The ending must resolve the conflict in an emotionally satisfying manner that doesn't leave the reader feeling cheated. #5: The fifth simple thing you can do: write clear prose. Writing clear prose that unambiguously conveys your meaning is one of the vital basics for storytelling, and this is harder than it seems. An anecdote from this topic about this topic: back in 2023, Wired magazine ran a hit piece on fantasy author Brandon Sanderson about his Kickstarter. One of the criticisms in the article was that Sanderson's books were written at a sixth-grade level, which is debatable, but that's not the point. The point is the writer of the article and many other people have the profound misapprehension that simple, clearly written prose is somehow easier to write than more dense or complex prose. It's really not, and this fact is easily proven. Think about how many people you know in real life who struggle to communicate through written communications such as emails or text messages. Think how many times you've gotten an e-mail from a manager or client only to have no idea what the person in question is trying to ask for, or even say. Or how much family drama can be created by a badly written text message or social media post that is easily misunderstood. In all of these examples, people failed to communicate effectively through written prose and would have benefited from the ability to write simple, clear, not easily misunderstood prose. Therefore, developing the ability to write clear, transparent prose that precisely conveys your meaning is a useful skill for anyone, not just fiction writers. It just happens to be especially useful for writers of fiction. When writing fiction, it is probably best to remain as clear and concise as possible. So in conclusion, these are the five simple things you can do well to have a good book: #1: Understand the genre #2: Have a protagonist with a sympathetic problem #3: A strong conflict #4: A satisfactory ending #5: As clear of prose as possible All relatively simple things, but if you do them well, I think you are well on the way to writing a good book. So that is it for this week. Thank you for listening to The Pulp Writer Show. I hope you found the show useful.

“Aldhani” (Andor S1, Ep. 4) is an episode cut with surgical precision. The four looping subplots of Aldhani draw us through one of the most beautiful and intricate Star Wars episodes we've ever seen. The dialogue? Perfection. The scenery? Flawless. The depths of Star Wars lore plumbed? Fathomless. We are BIG FANS. In our recap, we talk about the 10,000 Easter eggs and pieces of trivia saturating this episode. We also discuss the characters we love…to hate. (Syril Karn is finally booted out of the Number One spot by Mon Mothma's terrible husband, Perrin.) And we dive deep into Cassian's Mimban backstory—plus, discuss the many women struggling to negotiate their roles in the galaxy. Want even more Growing Up Skywalker?

This is what a reckoning sounds like. In this week's episode, we recap “Reckoning” (Andor S1, Ep. 2). Cassian and Luthen heist their way through Ferrix, Syril Karn cements his status as a wet noodle, and Space Timm receives his comeuppance for being a snitch—plus, after tying up the Kenari plotline, we're ready to hurtle into the unknown. We talk about Andor's stance on police brutality, religion in Star Wars, and “rescuing” children from the wilderness. We also talk about Andor's love of mirroring and plot parallels, and how beautifully they tie into one another. Want even more Growing Up Skywalker?

Star Wars goes domestic in “That Would Be Me,” the second episode of Andor. (Incidentally, so did we: The Growing Up Skywalker team is officially getting married!) “That Would Be Me” gives us sneak peeks into what life is like for regular people on Ferrix. We see booty calls, money problems, crappy work schedules, and messy houses. It's a big vibe shift and a perfect contrast to the deeply unsettling realization this episode gives us about Kenari—specifically, why there is a group of children Lord of the Flies-ing through the jungle. We also talk about Andor's stane on police brutality, Syril Karn stepping into his destiny, and why Bix is out of Space Timm's league. Want even more Growing Up Skywalker?

Note: AC & Matt believe every worker deserves a union. We express solidarity with striking WGA workers everywhere, but especially on the production of season 2 of Andor. Andor is a story about workers being subjected to oppressive and uncaring systems. It is the powerful writing behind this story that moved us to make this episode. The production team should heed the values of its own show and shut down filming of season 2 while WGA members are on strike. The Disney content machine should stop standing in the way of its writers - and all workers - getting what they are owed.

Did Andor save Star Wars or is it overhyped?Hello nomads and welcome to a rather unplanned TV show review. We watched Andor, and like many Star Wars fans, we have a lot to talk about. We recorded this shortly after the last episode of the first season dropped, so that is your spoiler warning.What makes this show so unique compared to the ones that came before it? What is going on with Syril Karn aka Captain Justice? And is being less fantastical what the franchise needs or is it making it feel more like a generic sci-fi show?Stick around until Act 3 for a round of Star Wars 20 Questions.Safe travels nomads and may the force be with you.
Andor season 1 ended with a triumphant run of episodes, and we're here to break down all the greatness, from the cutthroat political maneuvering to the epic brawls, riots, and space battles to whatever's going on with Dedra Meero and Syril Karn. Eric fanboys over Mon Mothma, Grace talks about familial love putting Cassian over the edge, and Haley discusses the genius of making Dedra sympathetic and relatable before showing her dark side. We also talk Andy Serkis, Ferrix funerals, Luthen's all-around bossness, and Nemik's manifesto. Plus: Hats off to Syril and Sergeant Mosk for having the best villain bromance in all of Star Wars.
Cassian returns to Ferrix for Maarva's funeral and learns of Bix's imprisonment. Dedra Meero and the local Imperial garrison prepare to use the funeral to take Andor alive for questioning regarding Axis, while Luthen plans—with Vel and Cinta's assistance—to kill Cassian using the Imperial ambush as cover. Mon Mothma continues being surveilled by the ISB, who succeed in stopping Kreegyr's attack but leave no prisoners, angering Meero. Mothma's 13-year-old daughter Leida is introduced to Davo Sculdun's 14-year-old son. During the funeral, B2EMO displays a recording of Maarva, who rallies the populace to attack the Empire, creating a riot in the main quarter. During the confusion, Cassian rescues Bix, while Syril Karn saves Meero from being attacked. Meeting with B2EMO, Brasso, and several others in a shipyard, Cassian convinces them to take Bix somewhere safe away from Ferrix. Moved by the rebellion on Ferrix, Luthen returns to his ship where Cassian is waiting. Knowing that Luthen was there to assassinate him, Cassian offers Luthen the choice to either kill him or take him in, to which Luthen smiles. In a post-credits scene, droids assemble the machinery produced by the Narkina 5 prisoners on the firing dish of the Death Star.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

On the November 23, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film Editorial Director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film editor Brad Oman and Star Wars expert Bryan Young for a spoiler-filled conversation about Andor episode 12 “Rix Road” In The Spoiler Room: Andor episode 12 “Rix Road” FeedbackWilly from Boston writes in “So to answer your question from the last episode, Anto Krieger hasn't met Luthen in person. During their rapid fire bickering, Saw mentions the possibility of Krieger outing Luthen. He then clarifies he's only interacted with the Anto indirectly and doesn't know him from a hole in the wall.” Bob from Nashville writes in “While watching Andor E11, there's a scene where Syril Karn breaks into a locked cabinet. I was taken aback when I saw this because I happen to own that prop. It's actually a Joe Colombo “Boby” rolling office organizer. I figured this audience might appreciate it.

Welcome to our catch up show where we are discussing episodes 8 and 9 of the Disney+ original Star Wars series; Andor. On our show we discuss Cassian being locked up by the Empire all while the ISB hunt him and we wonder if there is any way he can escape his prison.... In addition we still wonder why we are following the rather sad, lonely and creepy Syril Karn. We continue to follow the cloak and dagger moves of Luthen and much much more. We hope that you enjoy the show!
Syril Karn is an interesting dude. And when we say “interesting”, we mean weird, awkward, and totally obsessed with cereal. On this week's episode of the pod, we welcome the man behind the crisp, perfectly pressed uniform as Kyle Soller joins us to talk about playing the enigmatic character on Andor. He also reveals what that cereal actually tastes like. In addition, Dalton, Devan, and Lauren share their thoughts on episode 9 and spend way too much time discussing a very curious Star Wars Christmas gift that may end up on one of their mantles.

We've built up to the heist over the last couple episodes, and with "The Eye", Andor and show creator Tony Gilroy delivered in a huge way on the promise created by the slow burn that got us to this point. No time for whiny Syril Karn in this one. Not much time for Mon Mothma and Luthen Rael. They needed almost all of the screen time in this one to create the mood, the suspense, and finally the big, cinematic Star Wars action we've been waiting for. #StarWars #Andor Andor Parts 1-3 | Part 4 | Part 5 Obi-wan Kenobi Teaser | Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 follow the show Disney+ | Twitter | Facebook FOLLOW THE HOSTS ON TWITTER Paul | Mark Music: All copyright belongs to their respective owners.

Come, we have a long ride ahead of us. A small group has been planning a mission on Aldhani for months. Every member is here to fight for their own story of rebellion, with no two causes exactly alike. Despite their differences they find themselves united against a common enemy. But the distrust towards their newest last-minute addition to the group grows evident. Join Isabella, Ceaira, and Ruby as they look deeper into Episode 5 of Andor “The Axe Forgets”, discussing more in depth Syril Karn's story arc up to this point, the contrasting motives found within the Empire, Cassian and Skeen's vague conversation which caused them to gain a new understanding of one another, and speculations of what might happen after their long awaited mission ultimately succeeds or fails. Look out for new SWORR reviews every Sunday! !!SPOILER WARNING!! SPOILERS FOR ANDOR EPISODE 1 (“Kassa"), 2 ("That would be me"), 3 ("Reckoning"), 4 ("Aldhani") AND 5 (“The Axe Forgets”). Being a Star Wars podcast we freely talk about every movie/show including: Every Movie, The Clone Wars, The Bad Batch, Rebels, The Book of Boba Fett, The Mandalorian, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Sara and Giovanni break down episode five of Andor.

Are you tired of new Star Wars shows on Disney+ yet? Neither are we! Jason Furie and Adam Roth jump into the newest series on the block Andor to discuss the 3 episode premiere. Does this prequel to a prequel that is technically also a sequel have what it takes to impress our jaded little Star Wars brains? Let's discuss.Visit Website | Join Newsletter | Support | Facebook | Instagram
Star Wars: Andor's first three episodes are already available and showrunner Tony ("Toe pick!") Gilroy set a high bar for shows in a galaxy far, far away. The dialogue is terrific and the acting has complimented it and the camera work and direction haven't gotten in the way. Will it be the best show from LucasFilm on Disney Plus? It's got a shot and that's saying something. Syril Karn and Timm Karlo could have been buddies in a different life. Maybe even closer than that, like mortal enemies? Instead Karn launches his offensive on the citizens of Ferrix, but maybe he should have listened a little closer to that analyst that warned him things don't always operate the way PreOx Morlana thinks it should on paper...or, um, data terminal. Luthen tests Cassian, Maarva learns to let go, Bix loses her sleepover buddy, and the townspeople band together in a jam session that is very metal. Episode 4 will start a new story arc next week, but from here on out, we're only getting one part a week until November. Was the binge of the first three your preference or will you enjoy the slow burn of weekly episodic Star Wars streaming? Let us know what you think!

A new “Star Wars” show is upon us. That's right, with the release of the first three episodes of Disney+'s “Andor,” Editor-In-Chief of The Playlist, Rodrigo Perez and Co-Host Mike DeAngelo dust off their blasters and launch into a galaxy far, far away with a brand-new podcast dedicated to what the hosts are calling “the evolution of Star Wars.” On what we're officially called 'The Rogue Ones: A Star Wars Andor Podcast,' each week our hosts will recap and review the latest “Andor” episode and welcome cast members and creatives from the show to discuss all things “Andor” and maybe a few other “Star Wars” properties. For the uninitiated, “Andor” serves as a prequel to “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” which itself was set just before the events of “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.” The series follows Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) five years before he meets Jyn Erso and the gang, as he finds himself thrust into the middle of a budding rebel cell that has plans to put a stick in the Empire's eye. The show also stars Stellan Skarsgard, Genevieve O'Reilly, Adria Arjona, Kyle Soller, Fiona Shaw, and more. In the first episode of The Rogue Ones, DeAngelo and Perez break down their thoughts on the initial three episodes that dropped today on Disney+. After the discussion, two stars from the series, Kyle Soller (who plays the Imperial adjacent Syril Karn) and Adria Arjona (who plays Cassian Andor's ally Bix Caleen), drop by to chat about getting their roles, what sets “Andor” apart from other “Star Wars” shows and films, and their favorite films in the “Star Wars” canon.

Star Wars: Andor "went live" with three episodes on September 21st, 2022, but instead of covering all of them at once and consuming all of them at once, host Steve Loscalzo decided to cover each episode one at a time, one a day. Three episodes in one day is a lot to handle! It's a great show so far, so that's made the work more enjoyable. It helps when the writing and acting has been superb and in the second episode, there is no sophomore slump, even though the pacing is slow. This was designed to be the middle episode of an arc and if there is any criticism to be leveled it might be that the episode does exactly what it's supposed to do, which doesn't provide a lot of action. Cassian is moving pieces behind the scenes and so is Syril Karn and so is Timm Karlo and so is Luthen Rael. If episode three continues along the path, it will be another great one-just like episode one and just like episode two. Send an email to thisisthewaypodcast@gmail.com and/or (yep, I'm making that joke again!) check out our Linktree, for appropriate links at linktr.ee/ThisistheWayPod and leave us a review on your favorite podcast service.

Skywalking Through Neverland: A Star Wars / Disney Fan Podcast
Are you ready for ANDOR?? This 4th live-action Star Wars series airs the first three episodes on September 21, 2022, and we've been waiting almost two months to share our review with you!! We hope to answer a very important question - whether to cuss or not in the Star Wars universe. This episode is broken up into two sections - the first is a spoiler-free section that contains an overview of the series, plus the various characters and places to know before you watch. This section also contains part of a Roundtable interview with Adria Arjona, who plays Bix Caleen. She shares some great insight into her character and the town of Ferrix. At 40:43, we get into the spoiler discussion which contains major plot points for the first three episodes. So make sure to listen only after you've watched all three. ANDOR Synopsis Created by Academy Award and BAFTA-nominated writer/director/producer Tony Gilroy, ANDOR takes place around five years before ROGUE ONE. This series answers the question: How does Cassian become a Rebel hero? ANDOR follows both the Rebel cells and Imperial Security officers to show what the galaxy and people were like between REVENGE OF THE SITH and A NEW HOPE. It's an era filled with danger, deception, and intrigue. Kathleen Kennedy, Tony Gilroy, Sanne Wohlenberg (“Chernobyl”), Diego Luna and Michelle Rejwan are the executive producers of the series. Character Round-Up Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) A refugee from the planet Kenari, he has made his home on Ferrix for several years. Ferrix is a small blue-collar planet with a really strong community. It is not part of the Empire. Cassian owes money to everybody, he has a string of ex-girlfriends, and his mom is on his case all the time because he has not lived up to his potential. Maarva Andor (Fiona Shaw) (L-R): B2EMO and Maarva (Fiona Shaw) in Lucasfilm's ANDOR, exclusively on Disney+. ©2022 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All Rights Reserved. She is a motherly figure in Cassian's life. She has been a prosperous businesswoman on Ferrix and now she is respected but aging. Cassian is a disappointment to her. B2-EMO (or “B”) (L-R): B2EMO and Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) in Lucasfilm's ANDOR, exclusively on Disney+. ©2022 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All Rights Reserved. Maarva and Cassian's boxy droid companion, with the ability to shrink in size. Bix Caleen (Adria Arjona) Bix owns a salvage yard on Ferrix, and also has had a romantic history with Cassian. Though it's clear they are ex's, they still care about each other. She's hard-working, handy, and strong. Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgard) He is part of a Rebel Cell with Mon Mothma, and both disguise themselves as someone else to get by in heavily Imperial places like Coruscant. According to Tony Gilroy, Luthen "is the master puppeteer of our show. He is the character that links many characters, and he comes at the revolution with an incredible intensity." Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly) She is an Imperial senator, working her way into becoming the Rebel leader we know from RETURN OF THE JEDI and other series and films. This series allows us to explore what she is like in her day-to-day life. Her home on Coruscant, how she is a very public figure with a very private secret of supporting the Rebellion. Syril Carn (Kyle Soller) Syril Karn (Kyle Soller) and Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) in a scene from Lucasfilm's ANDOR, exclusively on Disney+. ©2022 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All Rights Reserved. Syril is Deputy Inspector for the corporate authority on Morlana One. A Pre-Mor employee that takes great pride in his job and his uniform. His journey will lead him to be the primary antagonist for Cassian.

She is also a primary antagonist for Cassian.

All Rights Reserved. This security firm oversees the planet of Ferrix, among others. Before the Empire has complete occupation, they will use the current security and police infrastructure already in place. One of the supervisors is Syril Karn (the main antagonist) who really wants to prove himself to the Empire and capture Cassian, but things don't always go his way.
