There's plenty about Andor that is unique for Star Wars fans, but one thing in particular really stood out to me from the opening moments of the first episode. As we see Cassian walking on a dark, rainy night, text appears on the screen telling us that he's on Morlana One. That's a tactic also [...]
The series premiere of Andor has released on Disney+! The first three episodes of the series were released together, which was a brilliant choice (especially after seeing how they go together). It's a terrific start for the show, and it clearly establishes how this will be very different from what we've come to expect from [...]
It's a great day to be a Star Wars fan! This afternoon at the D23 Expo, Lucasfilm and Marvel combined forces for a superstar panel teasing much of their upcoming content. Lucasfilm was up first, and they delivered in a big way. Hosted by Kathy Kennedy, Lucasfilm promoted Andor, Willow, Tales of the Jedi, The [...]
Happy Disney+ Day! A new special look at Andor has been released, with us just two weeks away from the show's premiere. The ten-minute special look begins with some interviews with star Diego Luna and showrunner Tony Gilroy, as they discuss what it's about and what fans should expect. That then leads into an extended [...]
On September 21, the first three episodes of Andor will premiere on Disney+, launching the latest live-action Star Wars series on the platform. The show follows Cassian Andor (played by Diego Luna) and tells the story of how he came to join the upstart rebellion, becoming the rebel spy we first met in Rogue One. [...]
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 [...]
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. But showrunner Tony Gilroy revealed to The Playlist exactly how season two of the show will wrap up. [...]
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 [...]
