In this episode, we catch up with the second (and as it turns out, final) season of Andor, completing the transformation of Cassian Andor into the rebel leader we see in Rogue One. We discuss whether it lives up to the expectations set in Season 1, as well as how the compressed production and story schedule affects the show. Then, we're taking the opportunity to geek out about all the people, things and places that have played a role in making the stories of a galaxy long time ago, and far far away so compelling, by asking: what are your favourite moments of Star Wars? And then we close off with a dive into the music of Andor, and how it pulls away from the iconic orchestral template set by John Williams.
