Andor, acclaimed as the best Star Wars series, will return for its second and final season on April 22. Showrunner Tony Gilroy emphasizes its significance, attributing much imagination to its creation. The show delves into the nature of rebellion and the motivations behind fighting oppressive regimes. As fans anticipate the new season, the article suggests five impactful films that explore the themes of revolution, mirroring the struggles illustrated in Andor. Notably, it references Jean-Pierre Melville's 1969 film which starkly portrays the sacrifices made by resistance fighters during Nazi occupation.
In the final episode of Andor's first season, Cassian listens to Karis Nemik's manifesto while hiding out inside a derelict starcruiser on the outskirts of Ferrix City. "There will be times when the struggle seems impossible," he narrates. "Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy."
Lino Ventura stars as Philippe Gerbier, a leader of a resistance cell who narrowly escapes from a concentration camp before resuming his operation to frustrate and overcome the occupation. Buoyed by success as belayed setbacks, Gerbier and his fast-made compatriots sacrifice everything in their fight to free themselves from the yoke of Nazi oppression.
