“Andor Week” continues at Clashing Sabers! Join Mark on this powerhouse episode of Forever Star Wars as he dives into the highlights of Season 2—which was not just peak Star Wars, but a searing indictment of authoritarianism, complicity, and the human cost of resistance. From the brutal tragedy of the Ghorman Massacre to the intimate unraveling of Luthen and Kleya’s partnership, Mark breaks down how Andor exposes the machinery of oppression and reminds us that rebellion is not just fiction—it’s a moral necessity. **Contains Spoilers!**

In this episode, we dive deep into Tales of the Underworld, a gritty addition to the Star Wars universe. We each break down 2 things we loved and 2 things that didn’t quite work for us. From unexpected character beats to missed opportunities in storytelling, we don’t hold back. Plus, we veer into a side conversation about Andor—how it raises the bar and what Tales could learn from it.
