NPR TV critic Eric Deggans highlights Disney+'s Andor as a significant addition to the Star Wars franchise, illustrating the origins of the rebellion against a tyrannical Empire. Starring Diego Luna, the series shifts focus from traditional Jedi tales to the gritty realities faced by ordinary people in resistance efforts. As Andor returns for its final season, it showcases the disarray among opposers and the dangers they face, raising timely questions about collective action against oppressive regimes, resonating strongly in the current political landscape.
Andor has succeeded with a gritty story focused on the ruthless, dangerous work of average people building a movement against an Empire run by vengeful, powerful wizards.
The intelligence which supposedly prepared him for this mission may not have been so good, revealing that the many people opposed to this burgeoning Empire aren't yet organized into a cohesive group.
