<em>Andor </em>(Season 2), or the French Resistance in Space

In August 2025, JWSFH Co-editor Meghan Roberts had the chance to speak with Terrence (Terry) Peterson, the author of Revolutionary Warfare; How the Algerian War made Modern Counterinsurgency (Cornell University Press, 2024) about Andor, the 2022-25 television series and prequel to the 2016 film, Rogue One: A Star War Story. Watching Andor’s second season, Meghan and Terry were both fascinated by the story that unfolds on the planet Ghorman—the France of the Star Wars universe. In this dialogue, Meghan and Terry take up some of the big ideas, plot points, and characters in Andor (Season 2), exploring the nature of resistance past and present, and what the show might illuminate for historians and students of France living in 2025.
