Welcome to our Andor Season 2 recaps, here on For The Republic: A Love Letter to Star Wars Animation! Join Andrew (@StarlightAndrew), Donovan (@DonovanMeade), & Conor (@DepaBanana) as we discuss the 1st arc of Andor's final season! We discuss the major themes and moments of the arc, including Cassian's dealings with a disorganized rebel group, Bix and Brasso's life on the farm planet Mina-Rau, the return of Director Orson Krennic - and the overarching plan the Empire has for the planet Ghorman, Dedra and Syril's shocking development, and the wedding on Chandrila that turns on Mon Mothma's crashing-out moment. We also take time to discuss *that* scene with Bix in the 3rd episode, how it impacted us, and what we can learn from these discussions as Star Wars highlighted a key issue with power roles that has not been seen in on-screen such a direct way prior to this arc.
Episodes Discussed: "One Year Later" (S2E1), "Sagrona Teema" (S2E2), "Harvest" (S2E3)
