In a 1983 interview with Rolling Stone, Carrie Fisher said to "not forget that these movies are basically boys’ fantasies."

40 years later, has ANDOR improved on the franchise's reputation?

To answer that question and more, we're excited to welcome this week's special guest, the incredibly talent cosplayer and maker, Liz McFarland!

Together we begin to wrap up Season 1, Episode 7 "Narkina 5", check in on Kleya, Vel, Cinta, Mon, and Bix, learn about costuming across the Star Wars franchise, receive an update on Alex's marriage to Mrs. Marki, and finally ask the most important question: what were The Minions doing from the years 1939-1945?

Also, if you're reading this, and you have any PR or media connections that can get us to Star Wars Celebration in 2027, please email us at andorkspod@gmail.com. We really want to go. 😔

We've waited months to get to talk about everyone's favorite radical revolutionary Che Guevara, I mean-- SAW GERRERA!

Yes, ahead of Saw's triumphant debut on "Andor" in Part 6 of "Narkina 5," we're taking a detour to explore the animated adventures of Saw Gerrera, from his origins in the never realized "Star Wars: Underworld" to his debut in "The Clone Wars" and reappearance in "Rebels."

Joining us on this detour is Vulture streaming editor and animation aficionado Eric Vilas-Boas.

If you want to watch along you can check out these episodes:

Clone Wars S5E2-5 (A War on 2 Fronts - Tipping Points)

We have lots of questions about the logistics of the prison barracks on Narkina 5. That's why we're glad to welcome our special guest, a journalist who has covered law enforcement courts and prisons at the Los Angeles Daily News and The OC Register, and labor organizer, Josh Cain!

Other discussion topics include NBA talk, pizza party prizes, the mother dyad of Eedy and Marva, California's somehow-legal slave labor program, cash bail, what a marvelous garbage person Perrin Fertha is, and somehow, the most niche reference Alex has made on the podcast so far.
