Saw a popular SW youtuber saying that Darth Vader would NEVER allow this to happen! 😆

Why not both?

Yes, absolutely. It is probably the only SW show that doesn’t require the knowledge of 100500 previous shows and cartoons. (That said, there are some really neat deep cut details for hardcore fans, but that’s just a fun bonus and not the point of the whole show).

Oh, I discovered their channel not so long ago and I’m really enjoying the Andor reactions! Can’t wait for the prison arc vid

The only way the right can win state power is to acknowledge the deep suffering that has been created by decades of rising inequality, and blame this suffering on some ‘other’ - migrants, criminals, deviants etc.

That othering is, of course, the prerequisite for fascism.

The music in Andor is immaculate. That funeral march — music as an act of defiance.

I got it as soon as I could, great read! Love the Eisenstein reference in the title.

This quote is by Robert Jones, Jr. (formerly known as “Son of Baldwin”) not James Baldwin.

I’d looove to read his manifesto!
People praise Luthen, Kino and Maarva’s speeches (all three are incredible), but often forget Nemik’s stuff which is an absolute banger.
‘Authority is brittle, oppression is the mask of fear’? Cmon! 🔥
