By calling a genocide a genocide, Andor just made its most political point yet Tony Gilroy’s Star Wars show has repeatedly felt like it was ripped from today’s headlines – but Mon Mothma’s radical speech was written two years ago. Contains spoilers for episode nine of Andor seas...

6/9 For Merz, a former investment banker & lifelong deficit hawk, this represents an extraordinary personal evolution. His willingness to challenge Germany's deep-rooted debt aversion demonstrates rare political courage in responding to these new realities.
