Hello my fellow Star Warriors! Andor has ended, right before the Battle of Yavin and way before the furry Ewoks Battle for Endor, the moon on which the funeral for Darth Vader will be held many years from now.

But before we go back to the future of the Star Wars extended universe, let's stay in the present for a moment to reflect on what this series says.

It says to me: Rebel against the tyranny of evil men! Rebel against power that seeks to oppress freedom! Rebel against systemic societal biases.

I got too carried away, didn't I? NO I DID NOT. This is fiction, and truth is stranger than fiction, which is why I must stop reeling myself in and let myself vent all the anger I have accumulated over a lifetime of injustice!

How's that for acting? Casting directors, cast your eye hither, from Hindi to English to Bhojpuri drama AND/OR comedy, hit me up to get an Oscar!

Oscar Isaac was in Dune; Diego Luna is in Andor. Science fiction is pure awesomax imagination. That is why I don't mind mentioning my sci-fi book, the first one in my Android Universe, named An Android Awoke.

It's set 420 years into the future, spans Earth, Moon, and Mars, and is about the first android that gains sentience after its left leg snaps off while it is on its third ore extraction mission on Moon. Check it out!

I'll pause for a second so that you can click the link in the description.

Back to Andor. There are three main concepts of drama: pathos, ethos, and logos. In Andor, pathos comes from the real-world parallels drawn between the oppressed rebelling oppressor against their oppressors.

Ethos, a deep emotional connection, comes from well-defined character arcs, sometimes with backstory, lending credibility to story progression.

Logos, the logical underpinnings of the series, is quite watertight, with the writers doing a good job of tying up loose ends towards the lead-up.

I mention these because the first episode of the trilogy that makes up the fourth and final mini movie doesn't feature the titular character!

Instead, it focuses on the beginning - and the end - of two other prime movers of the plot, without whom Andor would not have a raison d'être.

That means reason for existence, without which our life is meaningless.

"Move!" That is the operative word, the trigger of Luthen's revenge, the motive - notice that motive is 'move' with the inverse of 'it' inside it - behind Kleya's resolve to kickstart the rebellion and keep it alive.

The first of this trilogy of minisodes leads directly into the second, as sure as the third will lead into the build up to the Battle of Yavin, after Rogue One steals the plans of the Death Star to exploit the weakeness built into it by Doctor Erso, the father of Felicity Jones's character.

The unexpected switcheroo of shading a signal by bouncing it off a transponder works. Try it in one of your counter-terrorism stories.

An android's invulnerability comes in handy in sticky situations.

That's why you should check out my first scifi - An Android Awoke.

As this series closes, I understand the reason why the shots are blurry around the edges. It's because the truth is blurry. We see what we focus on, but not what surrounds the reality we believe ourselves enclosed by.

As individuals, we do not know what powers other humans weild on us.

Their policies and decisions dictate the puny rules we live by, the rules we follow, the rules that shape our realities. Honestly, I want that power.

I want the power to be free, to roam the planet free of fetters, free of fear.

That is what Star Wars and most other utopian science fiction is about.

A society in which we can pursue our dreams in the way we choose, without being judged at large - because individually, we are frail.

But when we get together, it's like old friends - we can do ANYTHING.

Repercussions for an explosive drummer, like it said on one of my favorite t-shirts while I was in college, are about zero consequences.

Time for my quote of the series: "Freedom is a pure idea." Abso truthat.

The adoptive father of Princess Leia Skywalker says "May the Force be with you" to Cassian "Kass" Andor, and that is the way the story goes.

I LOVE how he waters his plants before he goes. We must care for life.

"It's okay." It's what I said to a life the last time I held her. Axat out.
