If ‘Jon Favreau’s Action Figure Hour’ isn’t your flavour of Star Wars, Disney+ has something more mature with Tony Gilroy’s Andor.
The series is set to release its second and final season, and the latest trailer is more on the traditional side (compared to the first trailer which had more upbeat rock). Check this out:
While the trailer is very vague on where things will go in the series, everyone knows that it’s all pointing to the events in Rogue One. Director Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn) is going to make his appearance in this series, and it’s also been confirmed that Saw Gerrera is now in his partisan base in Jedha (the same planet from Rogue One).
It also looks like Andor and Luthen are falling deeper into their Rebellion hole, and it’s possible that Luthen is gearing up for something more terrible to happen so that people will finally stand up and fight against the Empire. By the time Rogue One starts, Andor is actually one of the more morally corrupt soldiers, so maybe this series is going to end with him fully embracing that role and making the sacrifices for the greater good—something he eventually gets out of by the end of Rogue One.
As a Last Jedi enjoyer, Andor was one of my fave series to come out on Disney+. Emotionally it’s very powerful, and the themes are very solid. We don’t know if there’ll ever be another show like it, but I’m hoping Lucasfilm has more space for it in the future.
The second and final season of Andor premieres on Disney+ on April 22.
