Ah...Throwing my own words back into my face? I hear you Matthew, but when it comes to Andor, I fear there hasn't been enough Star Wars to enjoy! Still liking the show but waiting for it to hit it's "Star Wars-Stride". Fingers crossed! - JMac

I understand, but it was rough listening to this weekly show immediately after the after show because I felt like 40-50% of each (as far as the Andor commentary) was in my opinion nitpicky criticism. I actually did pay attention to Cassian's accent, for instance, but mostly because having a Mexican accent in a protagonist was mostly unheard of before Rogue One (they are almost always villains in film history or have to mask their accent). I really like the fact that the creators are painting him as an Indigenous person fighting against corporations and imperialism. Just one example where I was getting a little miffed at you guys this week because there is so much cool stuff to talk about and laud the show over. One of the other things I really like is how this little covert operation he has joined in this second arc is kind of mirroring Hera and the Lothal group in Rebels. I wouldn't be surprised if Luthen is also in touch with Hera or at least with Ahsoka who was in touch with Hera. The gal here in Andor's squad is the only one in contact with the central organization and everyone in the squad has to trust her, just like with Hera in S1 of Rebels. To me it's not filler or fluff because it's fleshing out the origins of the rebellion in subtle ways that will probably be more clear later as Andor gets into the thick of it. I still love you guys and the show, so sorry for being a bit snarky. Hard to resist.
