The recent release of Andor got me thinking about how much range the Star Wars franchise has. Watching Mon Mothma argue with her awful husband, or seeing Cassian shoot a police officer is a far cry from seeing Jar Jar Binks stepping in poo on the streets of Mos Espa. Star Wars is at its core a fantasy about knights and magic, and yet it also has room for the "grounded and gritty". Join me as I discuss this amazing breadth of storytelling.
