Running Time: 39 minutes

The 10th episode of Star Wars Andor gives Matt and John plenty to discuss as the explosively emotional climax of the Narkina 5 prison break, the indictment of detached life, and the role of the hero is not just to save but serve as the symbol that those making difficult choices never can. Join them for a discussion of “One Way Out,” the Star Wars episode that birthed an unforgettable meme among amazing set pieces and performances.​

Issue 395: Andor: Season One - Nobody’s Listening!

4/8/2025

Picture
Running Time: 49 minutes

The 9th episode of Star Wars: Andor left everyone reeling, with enhanced interrogation (torture) displayed onscreen, the prison complex of Narkina 5 becoming an even more desperate place, and the people of Coruscant reacting to daily life in the Empire in very different ways. John and Matt discuss their reactions to the themes of this episode and ponder what must have been the fate of Narkina 5 when the Empire fell. They dissect and praise the work of the actors and actresses, and debate if the plot lines find the right balance overall.​

Issue 394: Andor: Season One - Narkina 5

Running Time: 47 minutes

Matt and John continue their S1 rewatch with the 8th episode of Star Wars: Andor. Andor, on the run from his past, was arrested for a crime he didn't commit and now we get to see the Imperial Justice System from the inside. In “Narkina 5,” questions about industrial prisons, humane treatment, and scales of justice are asked. But does the audience get satisfaction from the exercise, or frustration in a lack of resolution?

This is a recap discussion so big, @TheJediMasters have enlisted the aid of their friend and fellow The Nerd Party host, Darren Moser to talk over the nuances of justice meted out in a Galaxy Far, Far Away.​

Issue 393: Andor: Season One - Announcement

3/25/2025

Comments

Running Time: 46 minutes

As Andor Season 2 approaches, Matt and John discuss the themes and story turns in the seventh episode of Star Wars: Andor. A new arc starts with this episode, focused on the galactic ripple effects from the Aldhani heist, while Cassian returns home amid planning what to do with his score. What is the episode trying to say? Does it advance the series momentum? Does it suffer as a prequel to Rogue One by working too hard to tie things in to where it’s going? It’s sure to be another interesting episode as the Jedi Masters work to see eye to eye on “Announcement.”​

As Andor Season 2 approaches, Matt and John continue their StarWars: Andor Season 1 rewatch to discuss their opinions of the sixth episode, “The Eye.” The conclusion of the second 3-episode arc, does it deliver on the promise of a great heist moment…or prove to be a dud of mismatched storylines?​
