Hello my fellow Star Warriors! Welcome to another "One Year Later," another step closer to the Battle of Yavin - depicted so poignantly in Rogue One. Our covert spy hero Cassian Andor is making his mark!

If you haven't already seen my previous Andor reviews, now's the time!

'Boots on the ground' is what I take away from this episode. Just like we needed boots on the ground to avenge the Pahalgam massacre, to gather actionable intelligence before the long-range revenge.

On-ground espionage leads to victories, not brute force from the start.

This 3rd Part of Season 2 of Andor is going to hammer home that point.

Usually I keep calm and stay aloof, but I feel pumped up today, knowing that the innocent lives lost have been avenged, even if only very slightly.

I like that we have the Force with us, that sense of doing the right thing.

I also like how a character responds to "Hello" with "And you" - it is a nod to the greeting that will become standard across the Star Wars Galaxy. Except for the aliens, it's not too far from our Milky Way.

Allegories of the real world are what drive sagas forward. Just like The Lord of the Rings, or The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Read more.

I have written my counter-terrorism story as part of my first novel, An Android Awoke, which is sci-fi plus existential philosophy. Check it out.

Andor is in position. So is the Imperial Fleet. Ghorman's fate hangs in the balance. See you in my next episode review. May the Force be with you. May we all never fall prey to the cowardice of terrorism. Jai Hind!
