‘Andor’ Wanted Its Massacre to Do More Than Just Fill a ‘Star Wars’ Lore Gap

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-09-17 01:45:19

The most impactful thing about the Ghorman Massacre in Andor season two is how it paints a true picture of what rebellion stood for by putting the audience in the shoes of the people assembled to defend their planet. In a grim yet hopeful episode, the Empire’s control of the narrative begins to fall apart, showcasing the brutal violence meted out by Imperial forces against those who resist Palpatine’s rule.

Becoming an AI-Native Engineer

Posted on June 10, 2025 I’m confident I’m not alone in saying I’ve spent a lot of time over the past couple of years thinking about AI as an engineer / developer and what it means for our field and for our careers.
