TAKES of Our Time: Andor: The corporate cruelty of The Empire
from Tales of Our Time
This is the third episode of a five part series our month-long look at the Disney TV show "Andor". To guide us through the month, we'll be joined by our two experts: creative writer and art history touchstone Jared Friesen, and writer and literature teacher Cat Trites. In this episode, we discuss The Empire. The series Andor breaks from previous film depictions of a single despot on a dark throne, and despicting instead a corporately efficient bureaucracy. We also spend time discussing the two antagonists Syril Karn and Dedra Meero, who serve as the series' surprisingly human look into the system's inner workings from the perspective of willing imperial agents.
