Andor Walked a Delicate Line With Its Latest Tragedy

The second act of Andor season two, among many other things, reunited insurgent lovers Vel Sartha and Cinta Kaz as part of Luthen&#;s attempts to scope out resistance to the Empire on Ghorman. Separated for years after the events of season one—save from a distant &#;reunion&#; at the climax of season two&#;s opening trio of episodes—when Vel and Cinta meet again across these episodes, they are given a chance to reflect on both their relationship to Luthen and the growing Rebellion, and ultimately to each other, culminating in a tender moment: one that, after the casual queerness of their arc across season one, handily became what is arguably Star Wars&#; most prominent and explicit showcase of on-screen queer intimacy yet.

Alas, it was not to last. Almost immediately after Cinta and Vel get to share a moment of passion together, tragedy strikes. Dealing with anxious and unprepared members of the Ghorman resistance to stage a heist of Imperial weaponry, an altercation between one of the guerrillas, Samm, and a local

Slurpy Faggi and Dr. Butto

About

Slurpy Faggi and Dr. Butto are two characters supposedly identified by Google Search's AI Overview feature as the first two gay characters in the Star Wars franchise. The false factoid appeared in a viral screenshot shortly after the rollout of Google Gemini search summaries in late May , leading to jokes about the two invented characters. However, it is likely the screenshot was a parody mocking AI Overview's propensity to offer false information and not a genuine response given by Google's AI.

Origin

On May 23rd, , Twitter / X user @computer_gay posted a screenshot of Google's AI Overview feature answering the question, "Are there gay characters in Star Wars?"

The tweet gained over 6, retweets and 96, likes in one day (shown below).

Disney seemingly has a lot of gay characters. But if someone asked me what I thought of Disney&#;s first openly gay character, I&#;d only have one thing to say: which one? ZING!

But if there&#;s one thing I&#;ve learned it&#;s that no matter how much you point and shove people towards smaller &#;indie&#; LGBTQ+ creators, it won&#;t stop them from wanting better from the billionaire company they are ride-or-die for. It sucks, but that&#;s just how it is.

To further bully Disney in the hope of actually producing another movie that actually has wonderful queer representation (hell
