Andor Season Two Review: “Episode 7 – Messenger” & “Episode 8 – Who Are You?” & “Episode 9 – Welcome to the Rebellion”

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

– Spoiler Review –

With the kindling set as Andor’s second season launches into its penultimate block of episodes, “Episode 7 – Messenger” & “Episode 8 – Who Are You?” & “Episode 9 – Welcome to the Rebellion,” the fire is not only started, the show burns it all down in the most evocative fashion possible, resulting in the series’ best so far with emotional, bristling tense, and mobilizing storytelling which should hopefully stick with all viewers long after it’s over.

Andor Season Two Review: “Episode 4 – Ever Been to Ghorman?” & “Episode 5 – I Have Friends Everywhere” & “Episode 6 – What a Festive Evening”

– Spoiler Review –

Andor’s season two is back for another week and another block of three episodes, picking up one year later from the season two openers. Much of the ground laid by the premiere episodes begins to bloom, but more seeds must be planted first, as “Episode 4 – Ever Been to Ghorman?” & “Episode 5 – I Have Friends Everywhere” & “Episode 6 – What a Festive Evening” do more heavy lifting with the introduction to the planet and people of Ghorman, addressing various threads about the fallout of the shattered peace of Mina-Rau, and the widening scope of the rebellion. While some of the drawbacks of the season’s structure appear, with a particular trope rearing its ugly head, this next batch of episodes are still an excellent continuation.

Andor Season Two Premiere Review: “Episode 1 – One Year Later” & “Episode 2 – Sagrona Teema” & “Episode 3 – Harvest”

– Spoiler Review –

The nearly three-year wait is over and Andor, the first season of which was a critical darling and has only grown in admiration since, is back for its second and final season. Releasing in three-episode blocks per week, Andor’s second season premiere feels like a mini-movie, one of four we’ll get, picking up one year later and not missing a beat, bringing what feels both like a new tone and yet an evolution of what came before. All together, “Episode 1 – One Year Later” & “Episode 2 – Sagrona Teema” & “Episode 3 – Harvest” are a mesmerizing, intriguing, emotional start, and if the rest of the season will be much the same, I’m not sure I’ll be ready but I cannot wait!

Ahsoka Panel Promises Anakin, Ackbar, Thrawn, and More, Andor Panel Hypes Up S2! (SWCJ 2025)

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

The second day of Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 started with a focus on Star Wars’ TV future, one release more imminent than the other. Andor took the starting morning slot, hyping up a show I don’t think many fans need much hype for at this point (but the general public might), while the first details on Ahsoka’s second season, like Anakin Skywalker’s return, Rory McCann’s casting as Baylan Skoll, a panel-only teaser, and more took up the eponymous character’s panel. Check it all out below! Continue reading “Ahsoka Panel Promises Anakin, Ackbar, Thrawn, and More, Andor Panel Hypes Up S2! (SWCJ 2025)” →

Andor Season Two Trailer Revolutionizes

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

While your mileage may vary with the choice of song—I for one am really looking forward to more of Nicholas Britell’s riveting score—there’s no denying the striking and thrilling imagery in Andor‘s season two trailer! Given the excellence Andor climbed in season one, I don’t think we were expecting anything less! I particularly enjoyed Cassian swooping down after the missile strike, seeing Bix Caleen more involved, Krennic’s return, and whatever colorful rave Mon Mothma was in, to name a few of the intriguing glimpses of the show’s return. Set for April 22 (just after Celebration Japan 2025, where I’m sure they’ll show it early), Andor season two will release across four weeks of three episode chunks, as technically the show jumps a year after each set of three episodes, so it sort of makes sense to make them one big movie-like experience. I’d still have loved for it to be weekly, but it’s more Andor, so how can I complain?! I’ll be reviewing them in the three episode chunks once Andor hits our Disney+ using devices in April!
