Reply to comment by 1987-2074 in Andor - Episode 12 Finale - Discussion Thread! by PhoOhThree

I appreciate the thoughtful response. I don’t know why I’m getting downvoted for a totally reasonable question.

Racism doesn’t necessarily exist in an hypothetical alien civilization of humans. It makes sense to utilize it in Star Wars as a reflection of our human society.

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted either. I gave you an upvote.

If anything I’d think my take was more controversial.

Andor purposefully did a lot to expand upon the daily life of the empire. Having the Imperial officer being a family man with wife and kid in the earlier episodes for example. Portraying the empire as being as being varying degrees of “bad.”
