The film's central thesis explicitly promotes a critique of systemic oppression and authoritarianism, advocating for revolutionary, collective action against an exploitative, fascist-coded empire. This aligns directly with progressive ideology, particularly its focus on challenging power structures and advocating for systemic change.
Andor features a notably diverse cast across various races and genders in its portrayal of the Galactic Empire and the burgeoning Rebellion. The narrative primarily focuses on themes of resistance against an oppressive authoritarian regime, rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering modern DEI themes.
Andor features a prominent lesbian couple, Vel Sartha and Cinta Kaz, whose relationship is depicted with dignity and normalcy. Their queer identity is not a plot point for conflict or prejudice, but rather an accepted aspect of their lives. The show's portrayal is affirming, seamlessly integrating their love into the narrative without sensationalism, contributing positively to LGBTQ+ representation.
While "Andor" features several prominent female characters in significant roles, including leaders, rebels, and intelligence officers, none are depicted winning direct close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents using hand-to-hand or melee weapon skills. Their combat involvement primarily relies on firearms or strategic actions.
Andor primarily introduces new characters to the Star Wars universe. The few pre-existing characters featured, such as Cassian Andor, Mon Mothma, and Saw Gerrera, maintain their established canonical genders. No characters meet the definition of a gender swap.
Andor introduces new characters and expands on existing ones like Cassian Andor and Mon Mothma, whose portrayals are consistent with their established appearances. No characters previously established as one race are depicted as a different race.
