Why The Andor Snubs, Emmys? The Episode Between Episodes
This week we’re talking Emmy snubs, Star Wars streaming & revisit our conversation with Christopher Giroux – it’s the Episode Between Episodes! First we look back on our chat with Christopher Giroux and how what Star Wars meant to him affected us! We explore why fandom matters, highlighting Christopher’s impactful insight that the central question of the franchise is “Where do I belong?”. The question that is connected to themes of found family, misfit heroes and fan community. Inspired by our conversation of Luke Skywalker’s first appearance in The Mandalorian, we then dive Into The Datapad to chat the cultural impact of Andor and the ongoing frustration with Emmy Awards snubbing sci-fi series and actors like Diego Luna, Stellan Skarsgard and Genevieve O’Reilly.
The discussion expands to how Disney+ reshaped streaming with Star Wars television, the importance of appointment viewing, and whether shows like Andor will eventually be recognized alongside prestige dramas like Succession, White Lotus, and The Last of Us.
