#87: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Andorigins)

As we gear up for our coverage of Season 1 of Andor, we thought we'd stop by the film that started it all first-- 2016's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

We discuss our feelings for the film when we first saw it in theaters and how, as we've grown, our opinions have changed over time. We also touch on real life connections to the movie, controversies, and why the film is just as important today as the day it was released.

It's a political movie.

And this is a political episode.

Strap in.
