(25,465 posts)I'm sorry if the reference wasn't landing for you. The good news, if you like sci fi/fantasy at all, is at some point you could get to view this for the first time. Taken together, Andor season 2 eps 10-12, Rogue One, and the original Star Wars movie form a continuous 7-hour story. It's kind of amazing.
It's also directly related to what I saw happening today.

(25,465 posts)Across 2 seasons, the Andor series puts up about 8 movies-worth of top quality Star Wars content that makes people argue over whether it's even Star Wars. You, sir or ma'am, just might get to see it for the first time!
That said, it might just be worth springing for 1 month of Disney+ real soon to watch the series. It's already becoming part of the cultural subtext. I'm seeing references to Andor popping up on signs and chants at protests, it adds a bit of depth if you're familiar with the source. And who knows how long F47 and his $pals at Disney will tolerate the existence of this obviously subversive content? Yeah, don't sleep on this one.

(4,323 posts)unfortunately, I don't own a DVD copy, I had the first three on VHS---
The "new" ones, starting with 4, I didn't care much for,
and haven't seen any of the rest...
I do regret that includes the one which had the original stars in it,
I would still like to see that one... but I don't even know the name of it.
I know, Google would easily tell me.
"May the force be with you"---
Unfortunately Donald Trump has totally misinterpreted the meaning of THAT line....
