Episode notes

As we continue our trek through ANDOR episode 7 "The Announcement," we welcome our special guest and friend, Kelsey Goldberg! Kelsey's a writer and creative executive for.... Roddenberry Entertainment?

Wait, that's who produces STAR TREK!

We delve into the differing perspectives, histories, and ideologies of Star Wars and Star Trek, the danger of nihilism destroying movements, the story of Exodus, whether or not Don Bluth's 1997 "Anastasia" is anti-bolshevik propaganda, and if Jar Jar Binks should be spared from The Hague after destroying the Republic.

Kelsey is also extremely pregnant, so we thought it'd be a great idea to bring her on for the final conversation with Cassian and Maarva, and explore the roles that moms play in Star Wars, politics, and our lives. Happy Mother's Day, everybody!
