Poli Sci Professors React to Andor (Season 2, Eps. 7–9) – Truth and Discipline

Three political science professors react to Andor Season 2, Episodes 7-9. We breakdown the politics of these episodes, focusing on the question of when in a rebellion you must insist - publicly - on the truth. Mon Mothma's Senate speech is a major part of our analysis here. We see a second major theme of this arc as discipline. The rebellion is moving from a para-military to a military-political posture, and requires increasing discipline from its members as it does so. Further, Cassian fights a battle in this arc between his belief that he makes his own decisions, and the discipline enforced on him by the needs of the rebellion and his own destiny. We consider how these themes of truth and discipline intersect with and shape the actions of Mon Mothma, Cassian Andor, Bix Caleen, Dedra Meero, and Syril Karn. We were delighted to be joined this week by Prof. Rob Farley.
