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 will, finally, be telling the story of how Cassian Andor met K-2SO, his lovable and trusty droid sidekick.

When the first season of Andor concluded with the late Maarva Andor giving a rousing speech to spark rebellion on Ferrix, Star Wars fans began sleuthing and very quickly developed a theory: that her "fight the Empire!" cry was originally meant to be a bit different. Namely, that it was meant to drop the first [...]

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.

Lucasfilm is really beginning to pick up the promotion for Andor season two, and is doing so in large part by trying to appeal to a broader fanbase to gain more viewers. This was evident in the initial trailer for the season that was tonally quite different from the past, but that also played up [...]

When Andor season one was airing, we speculated that season two could show the Ghorman Massacre.

Star Wars Celebration will reveal what is next for Lucasfilm Animation, which should be especially exciting for fans

When Star Wars announced the full panel schedule for Celebration Japan, one panel caught my attention above the rest. Sure, there are panels for some of the franchise's headliners, like The Mandalorian & Grogu, Andor, and Ahsoka. But there's another panel that has the potential to really steal the headlines.
