On this episode of X-Ray Vision, Jason Concepcion and Rosie Knight brick a stormtrooper! First in the Airlock (3:55), Jason and Rosie dive deep (deeep) into the season one finale of Andor, recapping as well as exploring motivation and theorizing where we might find these characters in season two as well as revisiting Rogue One. In the Hive Mind (1:15:58), X-Ray Vision is thrilled to welcome Atlantic Staff Writer, journalist, and author Adam Serwer to discuss his recent piece \u201cStar Wars Gets Political,\u201d his love for Star Wars, secular fascism in the Empire, the politics of Andor, and more. Then in Nerd Out (1:53:12), friend of the show Liz theorizes on the possible force sensitivities of an Andor character. (Stay tuned for more Nerd Outs in 2023, including the many we didn\u2019t get a chance to feature this year.)\n\nPlease consider donating to Brian\u2019s GoFundMe here: http://HelpBrian.net\n\nThe X-Ray Vision community sends its love to Brian and his family.\n\nTune in every Friday and don\u2019t forget to Hulk Smash the Follow button!\n\nFollow Jason: twitter.com/netw3rk\nFollow Rosie: IG, Letterboxd, IGN author page, Nerdist author page\nJoin the X-Ray Vision Discord\nFollow Crooked: twitter.com/crookedmedia\n\nThe Listener\u2019s Guide for all things X-Ray Vision!\nNemik\u2019s Manifesto in full.\n\nThe Atlantic\u2019s Great Game newsletter written by Adam & other folks and a recent contribution to the newsletter from Adam on why soccer is the sport of short kings.
