Welcome to the Rebellion

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I can think of no other TV series other than Andor that so powerfully captures the political zeitgeist we’re living through, one dominated by the rise of fascism in the U.S.

Among other things, Andor reminds us that resistance and rebellions to fascism, authoritarianism, and empire are built on hope.

Today I invite you to experience the story of “the Rebellion” in the Star Wars universe via the following epic 10-minute video by SWFT. It’s a video that combines scenes from Andor, Rogue One, and the original Star Wars trilogy.
