On episode #2517 of The Joe Rogan Experience, Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan expressed alarm over what he called a dangerous new normal of openly defying federal government actions simply because Donald Trump leads it. He argued this sets a precedent that erodes the rule of law, allowing future presidents' opponents to ignore laws in turn. The discussion touched on ICE raids rooted in Obama- and Clinton-era policies, fraud in migrant daycare programs exposed by journalist Nick Shirley, and a California bill critics label the 'Stop Nick Shirley Act.' Reactions split sharply, with conservatives praising Sheridan and critics pointing to Trump's legal battles.

In Andor's depiction of Coruscant, set five years before Rogue One, production designer Luke Hull used brutalist inspirations like London's Barbican Centre for a sterile, uniform city under Empire rule.

The divide in Andor's 2022-2025 Disney+ run, especially Season 2 from April to May 2025, underscores Star Wars' pull between mythic fantasy and gritty realism.
