You don't have to be into Star Wars to like it.

But I did watch it with a sense of sadness. It's a wonder how our popular culture, especially since WWII, has shown us time and again all the warning signs that our freedoms are about to be lost, and the consequences of letting that happen...... And our real history has tried to warn us as well... and here we are, when fascism came for us, to take away the country we love... we rolled out the red carpet.

I'll never understand it...........

I can't find Andor. Is it on Disney+? ancianita Jul 2025 #9

It is, but you can see most of it on YouTube, if in bits and pieces. :) n/t Akoto Jul 2025 #10

Okay, thank you. Just curious. Do you think the bits and pieces are good enough? or is the whole story better? ancianita Jul 2025 #13

The whole story will make more sense, but you can still see the best parts! Akoto Jul 2025 #14

Yes, it most certainly did. B.See Jul 2025 #11

My 39 y.o. son agrees and has recommended I watch it, that in it is much that is 'revolutionary.' ancianita Jul 2025 #18
