Andor Wins Rotten Tomatoes’ Golden Tomato Award for Best TV Series of 2025
For a franchise that’s been around for nearly 50 years, Star Wars still finds ways to surprise people. This time, it’s not with a trailer or a new cast announcement.

His job was to keep prisoners productive and quiet. But beneath the surface, there was more than discipline—there was fear. Kino embodied the survival mindset of someone crushed by oppression.
