‘Andor,’ Season 1 Episode 9: Going Political (RECAP)
It’s another great episode from Andor delivering raised stakes and a strong critique of the prison system and the brutal hand of fascism.

‘Andor,’ Season 1 Episode 8: Trapped (RECAP)
At first, Andor Season 1 Episode 8 feels like drudgery–until you realize that that’s the point. The Empire turns worlds into hells; it’s what fascists do.

‘Andor’ Season 1 Episode 7: An Announcement (RECAP)
After the big Aldhani garrison episode, it was time to take a step back and inspect the radically-changing political landscape. This is a Cassian-lite episode, which helps to further the political strategies of other characters.

‘Andor’ Season 1 Episode 6: The Eye of Aldhani (RECAP)
So far, Andor Season 1’s investment in intellectual intrigue and a mature sense of tension leaves it very cool-toned and plot-focused – in other words, surprisingly unlike the the warm, relationship-heavy stories we’re used to from the Star Wars canon.

‘Andor’ Season 1 Episode 5: The Axe Forgets but the Tree Remembers (RECAP)
Although Episode 5, like last week’s, worked mostly to build up the garrison plot point, the stakes feel much more real now.

“Andor” Season 1 Episode 4: Rise of a Rebel (RECAP)
Andor Season 1 Episode 4 is a jarring change of pace from the first three, pumping the brakes on some characters to build up future plots.

“Andor” Episode 3: Another New Life (RECAP)
Andor Episode 3 picks up the pace considerably from the slow burn of the first two, giving us a ton of action along with subtle developments.

On the Run: “Andor” Season 1 Episodes 1-2 (RECAP)
If Andor begins a little slower than recent Star Wars series premieres like The Mandalorian or Obi-Wan Kenobi, it’s because the show is taking its time building a foundation of intrigue.
