34: Hoth Takes #34: Snitches Get Stitches Here On Andor

<div> <em>Andor</em> won critical acclaim for its gritty and nuanced portrayal of rebellion in <em>Star Wars</em>, but what makes its depiction of insurgency so special? In this episode, The Atlantic’s Adam Serwer joins Eric, Grace, and Haley to discuss how faith and revenge motivate rebellion throughout <em>Star Wars</em>, how Luthen’s approach to insurrection sets him apart, how class shapes the goals and decisions of <em>Andor</em>’s rebel and Imperial characters, and what the show says about the role of radical revolutionary violence. Plus, we compare <em>Andor </em>to <em>Star Wars Rebels</em>, Adam makes the case that <em>Andor </em>wants us to think Luthen is a fugitive Jedi, and we discuss a curious theory about two droids being one.</div>
