The final trailer has been released for Disney+’s Andor and the biggest takeaway is that, even though this is a prequel, it’s going to be essential that viewers rewatch Rogue One before September 21, 2022. The trailer was released during the D23 Expo 2022, with Kathleen Kennedy confirming production is underway on the second batch of 12 episodes of the series’ planned 24 episode run.
Diego Luna reprises his role as Cassian Andor for this action-filled prequel. The cast also includes Genevieve O’Reilly, Stellan Skarsgård, Forest Whitaker, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, Fiona Shaw, and Faye Marsay.
Tony Gilroy created the series and serves as showrunner and executive producer. Diego Luna, Kathleen Kennedy, Sanne Wohlenberg, and Michelle Rejwan also executive produce. Directors include Toby Haynes, Susanna White, and Benjamin Caron.
The first three episodes will debut on Disney+ on September 21st.
The Plot, Courtesy of Disney+:
Andor takes place five years before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The era featured in Andor is filled with danger, deception and intrigue where Cassian will embark on the path that is destined to turn him into a rebel hero.
Andor presents Star Wars from a different perspective, focusing on everyday people whose lives are affected by the Empire. The decisions they make have real consequences, and the stakes for them—and the galaxy—couldn’t be higher.
