ML163 - Andor S2E1-3 - One Year Later, Sagrona Teema, and Harvest

Ahhhh.....Asajj Ventress. Do we even have to say anything? She's back. That's all that matters.  One of the coolest characters is back with not quite a vengeance, as her story takes a different path than what you may have last seen her in Clone Wars...maybe you saw the Bad Batch and wondered why she was so different...maybe you read the book Dark Disciple and know her story, and maybe only then do you know that she underwent one of the biggest transformations in Star Wars...either way, Asajj is on a new path, where she finds herself reluctantly helping people, and in this case, a lost young Jedi looking for help to get to where he's going. Asajj is back, and this is her new story. And it's just the beginning.... Send in your thoughts to the show!

It's a stand off at the not so OK corral! We get an origin story for Cad Bane, a notorious bounty hunter known for his quick draw of duel pistols! Back when he was a kid trying to survive on the streets of Duro with his best friend Niro, circumstances force them down separate paths, one the road to darker deeds, and one the path of a lighter calling, serving the law. It's a classic, yet tragic showdown of two old friends, and the sad outcome for Cad Bane. Send in your thoughts to the show!

Well, we've come to the end of yet another Star Wars show. Andor wraps up the story leading up to Rogue One and A New Hope, and it does it in style unseen in Star Wars storytelling. Depth of characters, depth of plot, and depth of intrigue. This is how it's supposed to be. The acting is unparalleled. Every character meant something. Every moment was felt.  Thanks for being with us on this journey and following along with our coverage. For one last time, enjoy our discussion on the final episodes of Andor.

It all culminates to these moments. Everything we witnessed in season 1, and everything so far in season 2, all leads to what happens in these three episodes! Syril breaks under the tension of what's going on around him and all that he didn't know, and he blames Dedra for it all. Meanwhile she's struggling to make her own decision, follow Syril and his plight to help the townspeople of Ghorman, or stick to her orders and help the Empire devastate the planet. Andor takes a daring mission to save Mon Mothma after she gives a speech making her public enemy #1 as she labels Emperor Palpatine a monster to the galaxy. Together they race to flee Coruscant and it's a tense filled chase sequence! The rebellion is setting up on Yavin 4, tying everything in to Rogue One and A New Hope, and it's full of nostalgia.

Halfway through Andor already! It's one year later, and we catch up to Casian and Bix hiding out on Coruscant in a safe house, and their relationship has rekindled. Syril and Dedra are working together on a new mission at Ghorman, with Syril going undercover to send back intel about the rebel uprising there. Meanwhile, Mon Mothma is in dire situations trying to get votes to go against the Empire, and also having to party with Krennic himself over some historical artifacts. Tensions are rising everywhere.  Send in your thoughts to the show!

Andor season two is upon us! It's one year later, and we have to catch up to where everyone is now in their respective stories! We follow Cassian, Bix, Brasso, Dedra and Syril and there's a lot that has changed! Cassian gets caught yet again by some ragtag soldiers, Bix and Brasso are living peacefully on a farming planet, and Dedra and Syril live together now in a quirky relationship!

Just like a roller coaster, the ride is suddenly over. This is the finale of Skeleton Crew, and we're here to break it down. Was it a good finale? Did we get the answers we were looking for? Did it satisfy us as viewers? Surely it was a fun show. It was a great family Star Wars adventure. And this finale was full of great action and character moments. But it lacked something...and we try to put our fingers on it....do you agree with where we ended up? Send in your thoughts to the show!

Penultimate episode time! We're at the second last one for Skeleton Crew with still no idea if there will be more! And things take a terrible turn...Jod goes full bad guy, bullying the kids and taking over the ship, all for his big payday. We get a lot of answers about the Mint on At Attin, and discover what's really going on there...but it's still shrouded in some mystery that hopefully we get answers for in the finale!
