My subconscious must have known that last month was the 25th anniversary of the release of Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee because I suddenly and inexplicably became obsessed. I watched Let’s Plays and speedruns of the game. When I finished, I went immediately to the game’s sequel, Abe’s Exodduswatching even more longplays and speedruns and scouring the Playstation and Xbox game stores for a port.
‘Andor’ Episode 8 Explained: ‘Rogue One’ Cameos and a Hellish New Star Wars Prison
The Excellent Star Wars series Andor reached episode 8 on Disney Plus last Wednesdaycatching up with mercenary Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) in the wake of his being unjustly sentenced to six years in prison after a run-in with the wrong Imperial trooper. Turns out there’s just no escaping this terrible totalitarian regime.
Over on galactic capital Coruscant, rebel true believer Vel Sartha (Faye Marsay) has been tasked with killing Cassian so he can’t rat out recruiter Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgard). Vel doesn’t seem wild about her mission, especially since Cassian played an essential role in her mission to steal millions of credits from the Empire.
It also seems to run counter to the philosophy of Luther’s fellow rebel leader Sen. Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly), who isn’t wild about his willingness to shed innocent blood in their shadowy war against the Empire.
Episode 9 will come to Disney Plus this Wednesday.
Andor occurs five years before Rogue Onewhich reveals the story immediately before the original Star Wars movie A New Hope. Let’s see how life in prison is treating Cassian, by checking out all those delicious episode 8 SPOILERS.
