Briefly

"Andor" season two marks a significant evolution in the "Star Wars" franchise by intertwining intense action with profound character studies and relevant sociopolitical commentary. Set just before the events of "Rogue One" and "A New Hope," the storyline focuses on the Galactic Empire's brutal tactics against the Ghorman people, reflecting historical atrocities.

And the point of fact is: Peace and prosperity are the rarity."
"It was all too easy to pick comparables for the show from many, many historical sources," he added. "We're not writing with a newspaper in mind. We're trying to write something that's timeless."
