Insane how Chirrut is immediately ride-or-die for Jyn. Mere moments after meeting her for the first time, he senses her necklace and her “heart of kyber,” risks his life to rescue her from a whole squad of stormtroopers, instantly believes her claims about her father’s message and doesn’t hesitate to say so, follows her into a rainstorm to “watch” over her, takes her hand to comfort her after her father’s death, takes her side in silent solidarity during her fight with Cassian, knows that she disagrees with the council and wants to fight, supports her plan wholeheartedly, and ultimately walks to his death on the mission arranged by her with no fear. That’s a real friend.

‘The Imperial Sessions*’: Andor & The Star Wars Saga (with X of Words’ Ash Alleyne!)

*Conversations about fascism and media

New recurring series alert!

And to kick off these series of conversations about Fascism in media I'm joined by returning guest (and my X-Men '97 Sessions Co-host) X of Words' Ash Alleyne to cover Lucasfilms' latest instalment to the Star Wars Saga and franchise: 'Andor'.

Created by Tony Gilroy, it is a prequel to the film Rogue One (2016) following thief-turned-rebel spy Cassian Andor during the formative five years that lead to the events of the film. The show stars Diego Luna, Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Stellan Skarsgard, Genevieve O'Reilly and Denise Gough.

If you're less familiar with the nuances of the Star Wars saga + haven't watched Andor Season 2 we kept the conversation spoiler free and relatively beginner friendly so don't hesitate to hit play!

+ Find out how we fit the following in

Fascism in storytelling and fiction

Revolutionary stories by Corporate entities

How we discuss stories 'relevant to our times'

Dissonance

"Star Wars for Adults"

The different strains of Star Wars

The perfect fantasy weapon

Manufactured catharsis

The mundanity of fascism

Rebels, revolutionaries and terrorists

Imperialism, colonialism & The Empire

The Acolyte

Andor

Mononymous

Shout out to Rachel Zegler

Democracy LATER

Space Miami

Why I hate sand

Judas in Jedha

Luther, Maarva and Mon

Ash vs Khaliden (continued)

Regardless of the timing, I think that Andor will stand at least nearly as timeless as the OG trilogy, for just as the OG trilogy gave us heroes to look up to and aspire to be, Andor reminds us what we can always do as ordinary folk to keep the darkness at bay.
