Forthcoming appearances of Han, Luke, Leia and Darth Vader at Disneyland's Batuu appear like a promising start. The main discussion focuses on what the trailer suggests for the storytelling future of Din Djarin and Grogu. Who's their antagonist? Why is bounty hunter Embo's appearance significant?

ANDOR is over, but the conversation about this show's impact and resonance has just begun. Tricia Barr and Sarah Woloski continue our conversation from last month, sharing our thoughts on this incredible show.
Our main discussion considers Tony Gilroy's comments from the final ANDOR: Declassified Episode, in which he states "The five women at the end of the show are what the show is about. It's the victory, it's the pain, it's the life that these five women had that gives the show it's dramatic punch at the end." Who are these women and how are they impactful in the show?
