On September 21, the first three episodes of Andor will premiere on Disney+, launching the latest live-action Star Wars series on the platform.

Mon Mothma is an influential character in the Star Wars universe, but has had very little on-screen impact in the franchise. She first appeared in one brief scene in Return of the Jedi, and then cameoed in Revenge of the Sith (her bigger scenes wound up cut). She appeared in a more notable role in [...]
John Boyega has once again been in the news recently for his comments about Star Wars, with him saying that he won't return to the franchise and that he can't read Colin Trevorrow's Episode IX script because it would break his heart. Boyega has not been shy about his opinions on how the sequel trilogy [...]
It's hard to believe that The Last Jedi came out five years ago. In the time since its release the film has sparked no shortage of conversation, but Lucasfilm made a definitive demonstration of their belief in the film and its director, Rian Johnson, by announcing a new trilogy from Johnson before the movie ever [...]
Andor has yet to even premiere, but we already know how the entire series will end. That's not the biggest surprise, given that we know the end of Cassian Andor's story already, as told in Rogue One.

Industrial Light & Magic has received a good amount of well-deserved attention recently thanks to the Light & Magic documentary, and their excellent work continues to this day.

The first three episodes of Andor will premiere on September 21, and it turns out that the three-episode premiere is about more than just driving engagement at the launch of a new series. It will also be the complete first arc of the series. In a recent Variety article about showrunner Tony Gilroy and the [...]
Star Wars is a story of Jedi and Sith, one that follows the Skywalker family, and as such Andor will be a completely different type of show. But Star Wars is also a story of rebellion against evil, about everyday people rising up to fight tyranny, about the preservation of light amidst the darkness. And [...]
Andor is less than a month away, and the hype for the series is really beginning to grow. In addition to exclusive footage being shown in theaters alongside the Rogue One IMAX re-release, a minute-long clip from the show was also released. This presumably takes place very early in the series, and it's a conversation [...]
With Andor now a month away, the film that first introduced us to Rebel spy Cassian Andor is returning to the big screen.
