Yeah, I was thrilled to be back. I thought that the return was just totally immersive and sucked us back into the world so quickly and so effectively. I was not sure how this release... cadence would feel and what it would mean to just be giving us a glimpse inside of a year and move across four years in the timeline in this season when the first season covered one year.

And I have no doubt that I will leave this season feeling, like, desperate to... Yeah. I never, like, trust a trailer just as a general rule. But the trailers for Andor season two were, I think, certainly through the lens of what Andor season one felt like, like notably action forward, which makes sense. We're moving toward action. Rogue One. We're moving toward the Death Star.

We're moving toward the events of New Hope. But one of the things that, like, literally from the opening scene of this episode, I felt just, of the first episode, just utterly assured by is that there will be room not just to incorporate, but to center the philosophy, the poetry, the heart that you're identifying of these journeys. Because, like,

Part of the, I think, and I know that not everybody agrees with this, but part of the gift of a prequel to me is that because for some of those characters or plot lines, you know the outcome, you can focus so much more on motivation. Mm-hmm. the lessons learned, the people lost. And so particularly in Andor, it's fascinating to have that mix that you're identifying.

I love what you're hitting as one of the opening keynotes to keep in mind as we parse these three episodes because, like, we do know what happens to Cassian. You know, we do know what happens to Mon Mothma, but we have no fucking clue what happens to someone like Luthen, let alone all of the other people, right? So it's...

this mix of marching towards something inevitable and wanting to understand every single moment that led the character to that place. And then also this just looming specter of uncertainty. It's very different in Andor than I think in any other show, but it's in this respect, like very reminiscent of other Star Wars properties as well. You know, how many years were people talking about like
