Just in case your news feeds weren't beating you to death with it - in which case, good for you for avoiding the algorhythm - Andor kicked off its second season tonight with three episodes.  We'll be getting three new episodes weekly until all twelve are up.

No spoilers: I just watched the first one and had a great time.   You can almost hear the writers cackling in the background, almost as loudly as the toy collectors will be complaining about the lack of toys (not collectibles, toys) for this one.   There's a vehicle you'll see and go "Oh man, I want a Retro/Vintage/Black Series/Micro Galaxy Squadron of that!"  There are fun and in some cases goofy characters that, sadly, will most likely not become plastic in this era of adult collectibles.   Now that I've finished dinner I'm going to go check out the second one.

Also don't forget Light & Magic season 2 is up as well - there are three episodes.  I watched the first two last night, both of which focus on the prequels (wait don't walk away) and talk about things like Frank Oz dealing with the heavy Yoda puppet, as well as Ahmed Best and Robert Coleman having to deal with very different reactions to their work with Jar Jar Binks.   I really loved the first season and can't wait to see if the next episode goes on about Revenge of the Sith as I would hope.   If you dig behind-the-scenes specials, it's better than a lot of the DVD featurettes you've seen by quite a lot.  Also season two was directed by Joe Johnston, and it's especially funny because George Lucas  himself breaks the scene by addressing the director behind the camera to call him out about something.

It is not hyperbole to say that this is a pretty fantastic time to be a Star Wars fan.  Maybe not a great time to be a collector, but at least you'll be entertained whiel we see if buying plastic men is going to be a viable hobby in the future tense.
