"Andor" is very loosely related to the "Star Wars", but as long as you know that The Empire is bad and Stormtroopers aren't to be trusted, you're caught up. Any other Star Wars special treats in the episodes will (I am sure) be explained to us in the discussion afterwards.
Wikipedia describes the series plot as "a detailed view on how the Galactic Empire's government operates and the everyday consequences of its actions upon its citizens. Beginning five years before the events of Rogue One and A New Hope, the series employs an ensemble cast of characters to demonstrate how a Rebel Alliance forms in opposition to the Galactic Empire. Central to the cast is the eponymous Cassian Andor, a thief who becomes a revolutionary and eventually joins the Rebellion"
Every three episodes of "Andor" basically form their own movie; so we will be watching three episodes, taking a break, and repeating. If you miss an episode or think that you will miss an upcoming episode, but lack access to Disney, please talk to Alexa (in person, on Facebook, or on the Discord channel) and we'll see what can be worked out.

New to First Parish? Awesome! You can park on Elm Street or in the lot between the Church and Beebe School.
If you're able to use stairs:
Enter through the door on Elm Street and walk through the first set of doors. The office will be on your right. Walk through that to get to the Library.
If you prefer the ramp:
Use the rainbow-colored ramp on the Beebe side of the building. That door will take your right into Durgin Hall (our coffee hour area). The door on the left leads to the library.
Cover image has a beige background. In the center is an orange and red themed mashup of various images from the show. Most prominent is Diego Luna, who plays Andor. He is shown on the right. On the left is a spaceship, and in between are several other key characters and two storm troopers.
