For me it was "The Most Controversial Children's Book in History" by Solar Sands, in which he analyzes The Giving Tree. It led me to think about my relationship with my parents, and about what kind of relationship I might have with my kids if I ever become a parent.

Looking forward to watching that when I have time.

I think one of the more surprising things about Andor is that Disney somehow didn't mess up the second season after the first went 'under the radar'. And Gilroy closed it up so tight there's no space for a 3rd.

I know people are probably tired of hearing it, but Andor is probably the best Star Wars "thing" that's been produced. It does it without Jedi or The Force or awkward lingering shots on nostalgia bait. And it has the remove of fantasy/sci-fi so real world factors don't drag it down into the weeds.

The original movies are classics, the prequels are fun, there's lots of good books/shows/etc. Andor cuts to the heart of the difficulties of fighting back against fascism. The Empire breaks everyone on the show, on either side. Most of the people making meaningful action are forgotten. Some causes are necessary.
