Explicit content warning

09/19/22 • 83 min

Less than a year after our original Rogue One discussion, we decided we needed to revisit this beloved Star Wars story in anticipation for the new Disney+ series, Andor. We investigate whether the release of The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi in the last year has changed our feelings about Disney's first standalone Star Wars film. Elsewhere, we explore our biggest hopes for the new series; and finally, we run through some fresh categories to round out our Rogue One rewatch! Did we appreciate the film more? Is Rogue One worth having two episodes dedicated to it? Tune in to find out!

Andor Episodes 1-3

On the latest episode of the podcast, we break down the first three installments of the brand new Star Wars show, Andor. A prequel series to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the latest Disney Plus show marks the franchise's first foray into the murkier, more grounded corners of the universe. We discuss the introduction of several new characters, and assess whether our titular protagonist earns his own television show. Elsewhere, we dissect creator Tony Gilroy's distinct approach to this material, and whether his fresh take enriches the Star Wars galaxy (spoiler: it does). All of this and much more on the Breaking Canon Podcast!
