Listen "The Politics of Andor (Season 2, Episodes 10-12): Freedom and Order"
Episode Synopsis
It’s the UConn Popcast, and we continue our analysis of Andor season 2 with the conclusion to the series. We break down, analyze, and explain the political themes in these finale episodes, focusing on freedom, order and their interconnectedness in both the rebellion and the Empire. We explore the extent to which farce is an operative mode of storytelling in this arc. And we consider Cassian's statement that "nothing is ending," finding it to be both an accurate log-line for this arc and also a statement of some of the broader politics of Star Wars writ large - a cyclical story of the failure to consolidate political order by the Empire and the forces opposed to it.
