## Resource

Roqayah is off this week, so Kumars is joined from the top of the show by fan favorite Marvin Gonzalez and Delete Your Account debutantes Josef Burton and Luke to mark the conclusion of Andor . NYC-based organizer Marvin, writer and former US diplomat Josef, and Luke, host of the medieval history podcast We're Not So Different , discuss the show's depiction of revolutionary movements, how the Star Wars IP legitimizes armed struggle, why conservatives are rehabilitating the Empire, post- Andor melancholy, and whether space aliens are a good metaphor for racism. In the final segment, Josef and Marvin square off in an all-new edition of the Star Wars quiz game. Follow Marvin on Twitter @sulliedsubjects , Josef @PinstripeBungle and Luke @lukeisamazing .
