Milk-sucking hermit Luke Skywalker, Deathstar-sized plot holes, cancer-causing humor and Porgs. The Last Jedi has pissed off a lot of people. It is a radical subversion of George Lucas' vision and it is quite possibly the most divisive movie in the Star Wars universe.

It's gritty. It's edgy. And it's deadly serious. Showrunner Tony Gilroy breaks new ground with Andor, a spy-thriller set five years before the events of Rogue One. Gilroy is best known for his work on the Bourne franchise, bringing his no-nonsense style to a galaxy far, far away. But does it work?
Alex and Nick discuss the implications of creating such a series, a slate of new characters and a new angle on the dreaded Galactic Empire.

A lightsaber rifle. That is a thing.
Alex and Nick continue their discussion about lightsabers by getting into specifics about Ezra Bridger's blaster saber, Tera Sinube's cane saber and Jocasta Nu's lightsaber rifle.
