Andor might just be the best that Star Wars has to offer. With a stellar story structure, multi-level world building and interesting additions to a galaxy far away, the Rogue One prequel proves that hiring competent writers can make a difference. In this episode, we'll discuss the last three stages of the Freytag Pyramid, writing principles like Death of the Author and Chekhov's Gun and how structure can help you create an ending that matters.
