The Politics of Andor (Season 2 Episodes 7-9): Truth and Discipline

It’s the UConn Popcast, and we continue our analysis of Andor season 2 with episodes 7-9.

We break down the politics of these episodes, focusing on the question of when in a rebellion must you break cover and insist - publicly - on the truth. We see a second major theme of this arc as discipline. The rebellion is moving from a para-military to a military posture, and requires increasing discipline from its members as it does so. Further, Cassian fights a battle in this arc between his belief that he makes his own decisions, and the discipline enforced on him by the needs of the rebellion and his own destiny.

We consider how these themes of truth and discipline intersect with and shape the actions of Mon Mothma, Cassian Andor, Bix, Dedra, and Syril.

We were delighted to be joined this week by Prof. Rob Farley. Rob blogs at Lawyers, Guns, and Money.
