Much has been discussed about the more mature and edgy take on the STAR WARS universe as seen in ANDOR, and some wonder if that represents a shift in the way STAR WARS films are told. George Lucas used a mashup of many different types of storytelling to create the foundation of STAR WARS, including among others, Samurai films, westerns and Flash Gordon serials. RFR V.I.P. Sean Wanty returns to the Q&A with his review of ANDOR and it's different vibe. We look at how STAR WARS story telling has evolved from George Lucas's inspirations to what we see today. Is there room for modern, adult STAR WARS stories among those steeped in Lucas's style? We discuss! Plus, Sean gets caught up on the pulse of fandom since OBI-WAN KENOBI and how some our hindsight may have altered over time.
