It’s Force of Others Friday y’all!

Andor is AND-OVER, and here is our review on this deep, impactful, challenging, and beautifully made series. As always here on the Force of Others we’re going to keep it positive, respectful, but very honest. Expect some spicy takes.

Same as all of our reviews we give our likes, dislikes, and some deep dive discussions from these last three episodes as well as the series overall. Topics include the tone of this show and how it differs from the rest of the franchise, whether or not Star Wars has ever been political (it always has), if these last episodes should have been in 0 BBY or if that year exists, how funny it is that Mon Mothma’s style has to go from incredible to a pixie haircut and the same white dress forever, where we think the surviving characters are during the rest of the saga and a lot more.

We also dive into the mailbag to answer a question from one of our listeners, and give our thoughts on what we think would have happened if Yoda fought Anakin instead of Obi-Wan in Revenge of the Sith.

All of that and more on this week’s episode of The Force of Others!

Andor Season 2 has been moving right along and we are behind! So to make up for lost time, here's our review of the last 6 episodes of Andor just before the finale premieres tonight!

Like all of our reviews we give our likes, dislikes, deep dive discussion points, and some last minute predictions for the final episodes of this show!

Overall we absolutely loved these episodes. In particular 8 and 9. We found them timely, relevant, haunting, and absolutely exceptional. Top tier Star Wars.

This is an actual play using Star Wars RPG: Edge of the Empire. This show is not official or affiliated with EDGE Studio, or Lucasfilm Ltd.

We're playing through the escape from Mos Shuuta, the Edge of the Empire Beginning Game. Co-host Zachary Owen Turner is playing an original smuggler, and friend of the podcast Brian Lawson is playing Itchy Bacca, aka the canonical father of Chewbacca the Wookiee from the Star Wars Holiday Special.

They're escaping the wrath of an evil Hutt crime lord while running through the desert of Tatooine. Expect Lots of classic Star Wars, lots of nonsense, very very silly. If you have never played a role-playing game before, if you've never watched a role-playing game before, you should still watch this. It's friends sitting around a table together making up stories with dice that takes the story in weird ways.
