Being stuck with a broken wrist so unable to really do much of the things, I have spend a lot of this month watching TV.
I'm not all that up on Star Wars, so when I watched Season One of Andor I didn't know it was about a man called Andor, I had that name confused with Endor, and so I was distracted by the lack of Ewoks.
No such distraction for season two though, now I know it's about a rebel mercenary and his adventures leading up to him being in Rogue One delivering details about how to blow up a death star.
They all live in the Empire, which is relentless and authoritarian and evil just like the real life empire taking over western civilization now. They persecute and harass poor Andor and his buddies so much that they cause the rebellion against their authority that they intend to suppress.
Great show.
Wonder if all the people arrested wrongfully for doing no real crime in the US and UK and around the west will end up fighting the empire here too?
Still wish there was a series about ewoks though.

All the love for Andor and no one ever talks about how fuckin awesome it would be to be an interplanetary antiquities dealer
Well i can't work or play piano for a while so, um, what's good and really long with many seasons that I haven't seen? Haven't seen much on Apple TV I guess, or HBO.
Have seen Severence and will finish Andor today.

Disney schafft mit ANDOR eine viel gelobte ScIFi-Serie, doch Milliardenverluste zwingen zum Sparen. Mehrere #StarWars Serien werden abgesetzt: KENOBI Staffel 2? Abgesagt. THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT Staffel 2? Ebenfalls begraben. Budgets gekürzt, Jobs gestrichen. Ist Streaming am Ende – oder nur das Vertrauen der Fans? - Stefan Holzhauer

"Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest."
