Much has changed since then, but the sport continues, and the largest sumo tournament in North America is right in your Long Beach backyard.

KCRW and Disney+ invite you to a special screening of AndorSeason 2, Episodes 8 & 9, followed by a conversation with Editor/EP John Gilroy, Writer Dan Gilroy, and Composer Brandon Roberts, moderated by KCRW's Sam Sanders.
Lucasfilm’s Emmy®-nominated thriller Andor returns for its long-awaited conclusion. The second season takes place as the horizon of war draws near and Cassian becomes a key player in the Rebel Alliance. Everyone will be tested and, as the stakes rise, the betrayals, sacrifices, and conflicting agendas will become profound. Rife with political intrigue and danger, the series is a prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which portrayed a heroic band of rebels who steal the plans to the Empire’s weapon of mass destruction — The Death Star — setting the stage for the events of the original 1977 film. Andor sets the clock back five years from the events of Rogue One to tell the story of the film’s hero, Cassian Andor, and his transformation from a disinterested, cynical nobody into a rebel hero on his way to an epic destiny.
