Oh thank Yoda, Andor didn’t fridge Bix after all
Published: May 15, 2025 18:22

Published: May 6, 2025 21:02

Andor season 2 makes Cassian just one of the many — and that’s a great thing
Published: May 1, 2025 06:24
In the latest batch of Andor episodes, we get to see Cassian (Diego Luna) do something he’s never done before: dress up. He’s been in disguise before, and certainly incognito as the (immaculately named) Keef Girgo. But Cassian’s spy work so rarely takes…

Published: April 29, 2025 21:35
There aren’t many characters in any universe like Saw Gerrera. That’s been true since the moment he wheezed his way onto the scene in Rogue One, and since he went toe to toe with Luthen Rael in Andor season 1, but it wasn’t until this latest batch of Andor…

Published: April 22, 2025 22:07
