FIGHT THE EMPIRE! - Why 'Andor Is The Most Important Story in 'Star Wars

Andor isn't the most important Star Wars story because of its politics or its craft, though it has both — it's the root system underneath everything else in the mythology, the story that turns Alderaan and Order 66 from spectacle into the genocide a billion children already understood as wrong. JB Minton's real argument is the distinction between a rebellion and a revolution: a rebellion is people finally standing up, but a revolution is what happens when that anger gets organized into something that can actually replace what it's fighting. Everything that ends in a Death Star exploding starts here, with a prison break, a funeral, and Maarva Andor's holographic order to a planet that's been asleep too long: fight.
