The day has finally come - we're finally watching Andor Season 1 for the very first time!

In this episode, we discuss how the show became such a powerful, yet different entry in the Star Wars franchise, how we almost got a much different show (K2Fast, K2Furious: A Cassian Andor Story), the real life "mythologies" that shaped the show, and, of course, our thoughts on Episode 1: Kassa.

Plus: The triumphant return of Beyond the Outer Rim! Cass discusses the latest in the High Republic book series: Cavan Scott's Tempest Breaker!
