Star Wars Andor Season 2 Recap
Brandon and Chanel are back for the best of Star Wars. Star Wars has always been fun, but its always lacked the depth of the great Sci FI shows. It talked about real issues but made it so cartoonish that the plot was missed by most. Until now... Andor Season 2 takes on genocide, rebellion, terrorism, fascism, gender in the workplace and so much more to create the best live action content the Star Wars universe has ever given us.
