We are so lucky to have had Andor (especially S2) as a way to face the very real challenges we face in the world today and remind us that we have to stand up, fight, and call bullshit on the corruption happening in plain sight.

Look, @goldman.blue & I covered the insane detail of the journey of Karn’s blaster over 2 seasons of Andor on @escapehatchpod.bsky.social. But leave it to @jowrotethis.bsky.social to dig deeper and remember that when Andor was asked whose it was he said, ‘I didn’t get a name.’ 🤯🤯🤯 House of R goated!
