Andor : The Cause Consumes

Andor is the most off-brand Star Wars story in many ways, from the way it follows the cultural shifts of the last 50 years more than most of the other Star Wars properties, the way it incorporates multiple Left-wing historical influences into the Rebellion, and how it does this with what in many ways has become a story not of revolution, but restoration.

The end result is a story that works on multiple levels, from the individual characters of Cassian, Dedra, and Syril; up to the macro-level symbolism of the transformation of the Rebellion from an insurgency to a Galactic State.

I mention Damien Walter’s “Andor : A Marxist Story” video in this one, which you can watch at the link:
