Andor

Rogue One is my favorite Star Wars movie – a Star Wars movie for grown-ups that shows how a scrappy group of rebels, led by the rebel operative Cassian Andor, stole the plans for the Death Star (which kicks of A New Hope). This gritty series follows Andor before he was a rebel and tells …

Light and Magic

The first of the Avengers, post-Endgame shows.

The Mandalorian

The first live-action Star Wars television show.  Set in the time after the original trilogy (the first Death Star has been destroyed), this show follows a Mandalorian bounty hunter. Fiercely devoted to the Mandalorian way, the character is at first something of a cipher—always wearing a mask, doing the task, recovering the bounty. He is …
