For a man wanting to let the past die, Kylo Ren sure is obsessed with it.

Epic new trailer released for the second and final season of Andor

We're now less than a month from the premiere of Andor, and Star Wars has released a new trailer and poster in promotion of it. If you, like me, were a little thrown off by the music choice in the first trailer (which was surely designed to appeal to a broader audience), this second trailer [...]

Andor season two will tell us more about who Luthen Rael was before we met him, Tony Gilroy teases

There is a lot to like about Andor - but maybe best of all is the simply terrific cast turning in simply terrific performances everywhere you look.
