Andor - BONUS - Military Strategy w/ML Cavanaugh

In this special bonus episode, David welcomes military strategist Matt Cavanaugh to discuss Andor from a unique perspective. Matt, a former Lieutenant Colonel and military instructor, shares insights on how the series portrays rebellion, conflict, and the human cost of war. They explore Luthen's role as a rebel leader, comparing him to historical figures, and analyze how Andor succeeds in bringing authentic military strategy to Star Wars. Matt also discusses his upcoming book "Best Scar Wins" about his journey from kidney donation to ultramarathon champion, and reflects on what makes Andor such a compelling addition to the Star Wars universe.
