FYC: Andor got you in a rebellious mood? 3 Star Wars stories to keep that going
Even before Andor, from the Prequels to The Last Jedi, Star Wars has always been a political story... some times more than others. We're here to celebrate the 'more' of it al
Andor is, perhaps, a Star Wars story born out of a different time period than the majority of the franchise. While the majority of more recent Star Wars purposefully leans into the space opera adventure elements of the franchise — The Mandalorian and Ahsoka are almost apolitical in their storytelling choices — Andor finds success drawing out the real-world political allegories and subtext of the lore it’s inherited. It’s far from the only political Star Wars that’s ever been made, however, and as we try to find things to fill time between episodes of Andor, perhaps it’s time to remember that. Friends, for your consideration: some Star Wars stories that played with politics.
This is For Your Consideration, in which we try to come to terms with the inescapable fact that, honestly, there’s too much out there to have time to watch, read, or hear everything
