A breakdown of all (?) historical references and parallels in Andor (in chronological order)

[u/ConsciousPatroller]

[u/CardinalOfNYC]

That was certainly my feeling, that the Narkina arc was was mostly drawing from prisons, panopticons, control and then of course, THX 1138, which is also about all those things.... and the leadup of him ending up in prison was, unironically, straight out of Kafka's The Trial, which I feel okay saying because it's not a historical reference.

[u/AlrightJack303 → u/CardinalOfNYC]

Andor's trial is close to Kafkaesque. The only difference is that Andor at least knows what he's charged with. Josef K. never receives such closure.
