Andor is a great show and an anarchist manifesto and a deep and undeniably timely study of the mechanisms of empire. Andor isn’t like other Star Wars media where the good guys and the bad guys both seem really cool. It shows the empire as something really shitty, and its agents as deeply sad, dysfunctional people who are essentially also its victims.
And it’s much more than that. It also comments on how violent rebellion can be both necessary and irrevocably traumatizing, as well as many other themes surrounding the central conflicts.
