The Empire commits the Ghorman Massacre, Mon Mothma makes a fateful speech, and Cassian Andor finds a new sidekick in the most recent batch of episodes from season two of Andor.
Everything has been building to the most recent arc of Andor. The prior two seasons have been putting the pieces in place so the Empire could take total control of the planet of Ghorman. Finally, their plan comes to fruition and the citizens of Ghor riot against their Imperial oppressors. However, the Empire has been carefully crafting the propaganda surrounding Ghor, and they have bent the public perception of the galaxy against its citizens. Mon Mothma sees through the lies and delivers a fiery speech in the Senate the end of her political career as an Imperial Senator. In addition, Cassian Andor has made a choice to leave the Rebellion and commit himself to Bix. He has just one job left to complete first. We are discussing all of this and more in this episode of Podcast Stardust.
We are covering “Messenger,” “Who Are You?” and “Welcome to the Rebellion” in this episode.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Our non-spoiler thoughts on these three episodes of Andor,
- The Ghorman Massacre,
- Cassian Andor’s mission to Ghorman,
