In some respects, Andor is a new frontier: a series spinning off from not only the Skywalker Saga but specifically one of the two Star Wars Story films (in this case, Rogue One). The new series--the first three episodes of which debuted on Disney this week--is also largely disconnected from anything to do with the Force, the Jedi, or any of that flashy lightsaber stuff. Many comics, novels, and even video games have explored the same time period in the saga, and the same ideas. If three episodes only whets your appetite for more stories from the earliest days of the conflict between the Galactic Empire and the nascent Rebellion, these comics will fill that void. Andor might be the origin story for a character that audiences already saw at the end of Rogue One, but it's not the first time Star Wars fans have had a chance to see Cassian Andor in his prime. For that particular pleasure, look to this one-off special issue released by Marvel to tie in with the movie's 2017 theatrical release.

A small band of heroes willing to take on a daunting foe or die trying. The rag-tag bunch of heroes is diverse, comprised of various races and sexes: a dashing young captain and his strong female counterpart, a humorous robot who has no trouble engaging in combat, and various other side characters. In the end, most of these characters will die for their cause, but they'll strike a major blow against the enemy. Sounds a lot like the new Star Wars movie, Rogue One, doesn't it? In that film a small crew of Rebels led by Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor sneak into the Imperial base at Scariff to steal the Death Star plans.

Of the common commutative binary logical connectives, only and and or may be used as operators that take arbitrary numbers of arguments with order and multiplicity being irrelevant, that is, as connectives that take sets of arguments. This is especially evident in the Common Logic Interchange Format, in which it is easy for operators to be given arbitrary numbers of arguments. The reason is that and and or are associative and idempotent, as well as commutative. We extend the ability of taking sets of arguments to the other common commutative connectives by defining generalized versions of nand , nor , xor ,and iff , as well as the additional, parameterized connectives andor and thresh . We prove that andor is expressively complete — all the other connectives may be considered abbreviations of it.
