Star Wars series Andor strips away franchises cruft and succeeds

Published: Dec. 5, 2022, 2:38 p.m.

After a brief hiatus, Streaming Wars has returned! And host Colin Chisholm is here to spill the beans on Andor, which is now streaming on Disney+

The Star Wars series focuses on Cassian Andor, one of the main characters from the standalone film Rogue One, giving audiences a better, more nuanced look of the aloof rogue.

But the show\u2019s success goes so much deeper than that. By shedding the Star Wars trappings of Jedi and lightsabers, we see what a galaxy under the thumb of a tyrannical regime is actually like, which makes for intense and fascinating television.
