Caution: This article contains spoilers for Andor season 2, episodes 1-3 and discussion of sexual assault.Andor season 2's premiere featured a scene of sexual assault that has exposed a dark truth about the Star Wars fandom. I had the privilege of seeing Andor season 2 early, and I was struck immediately by the way Tony Gilroy's TV show grounded the evil of the Empire. We're used to seeing the Empire's evil writ large, with planets destroyed and acts of genocide constantly mentioned (though seldom seen). Andor season 2, though, offers a much more intimate look at life under a fascist regime; it particularly explores that regime's impact on women.
