We here at Nerdist could not be more excited that Andor has returned to our screens. For our money, it’s the best Star Wars thing, with its heady mixture of political intrigue, tense espionage, and spaceships pew pew pew. The downside, of course, is we only get four weeks of it, with three episodes dropping at a time. But the upside is we get to talk about a lot of episodes at once! And that is indeed what we’re doing every week. Laser Focus, our weekly deep-dive podcast, will be looking at Andor all season long, in audio and video format.
The host of Laser Focus—yours truly, Kyle Anderson—welcomes members of the Nerdist staff to get into all things Cassian. For episodes one-three, Rotem Rusak and I discuss Mon Mothma dancing, sad Syril Karn, and what in the galaxy Mr. Andor is doing. Check it out below!
The days appear numbered for many members of the nascent Rebellion as Director Krennic appears to recruit Dedra Meero for nefarious purposes tied to a “special project,” whatever that is. Cassian steals a TIE Fighter and gets caught up in petty rebel squabbles. Bix and Brasso try to avoid Imperial detection on a rural planet. And Mon Mothma balances a lot during her daughter’s wedding weekend. Doesn’t help to have Luthen Rael continually reminding her he’ll kill anyone if you let ‘im.
Join us every Wednesday on YouTube and Thursday on podcatchers for Laser Focus discussions of Andor season two.
