Andor S1 part 2: “The Internationale” Goes Intergalactic, Star Wars Style

Posted on by

Listen to this on Apple, Spotify, or YouTube.

Rebel organizer Charles Lenchner and Jedi Master Klaudia Amenábar return to cover the second half of Andor season 1, showrunner Tony Gilroy’s revolutionary Star Wars show– which airs, somehow on Disney+. 

In part 1 of my podcast’s Andor coverage (listen to that episode first https://bit.ly/ComradeAndor) we joked about a Star Wars reimagining of “The Internationale”. I loved the idea so much, that we made one. Original melody composed by Pierre De Geyter, Star Wars-ified lyrics by Katie Unger. Vocals by me while I was sick with COVID but didn’t know it yet (hence the delayed release of this podcast and my less than polished singing).

“Both sides are attempting to use polarization to advance their goals.” – Charles Lenchner, Organizing 2.0/former political prisoner. 

“What is the Rebels’ Ladder of Engagement?” – Elana Levin, host/ Organizing 2.0.
