What do muffins, tomatoes, and the abstract concept of time all have in common? They have articles on Wookiepedia, and in this week’s episode of ANDORKS, we’ll read them with writer, comedian, and cohost of “The Bechdel Cast” Caitlin Durante!

Caitlin shares the story of discovering the original trilogy on Western Pennsylvania TV and how the show helped her to realize her political growth into a leftist.

Patrick Willems may have retired from talking about Star Wars but Andorks has pulled him back for one last job: discussing the midpoint of “The Eye!” We’ll answer important topics like how ET canonically voted to dissolve the senate, the travesty that there are no Syril Karn action figures, and how the wacky Gilroy brothers pulled off one of the most radical scenes ever depicted on television.

We’re back for another 7 minutes of Andor, this time with New York Times and /Film writer Rafael Motamayor. A true connosieur of Star Wars, Rafael speaks to how the animated series kept Star Wars alive for a generation of fans, and why Andor fans should check them out. We then return to Aldhani to find Jayhold Beehaz being a very bad dad, olfactory racism, and various biological phenomena.
