Ben Adams, Pete Fenzel, and Mark Lee steal a TIE Fighter, huff some rhydo, and sacrifice everything they hold dear to bring you this podcast on the superb second season of Andor. After they sell some antiques to high society, our panelists escape to their secret rebel base to explore the many salient cleavages in the show: choice vs. free will, freedom vs. tyranny, chaos vs. order, planning vs. doing, and even the light and dark sides of the Force. Yes, the Force still binds all living things in the galaxy, even in a show without space wizards.

The panelists analyze as many of the fascinating characters as they can: Luthen, the ruthless, paranoid spymaster with friends everywhere and nowhere at the same time; Andor, the deadly spy who makes sure to water his plants before going out on a mission; Mothma, the senator who’s a killer on the dance floor and by proxy; Syril, the hapless tool of the fascist state who kept making the wrong choices until the end; and Dedra, the cog in the Imperial war machine brought down by her own acts of rebellion.
