Star Wars: Andor
From Lucasfilm comes “Andor,” an original, live-action series exclusively for Disney+ that explores the Star Wars galaxy from a new perspective, focusing on Cassian Andor’s journey to discover the difference he can make. The series brings to light the story of the burgeoning rebellion against the Empire. It’s an era filled with danger, deception, and intrigue where Cassian will embark on the path that is destined to turn him into a rebel hero.
The series is a prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and rewinds back five years from the events of Rogue One. A thriller rife with political intrigue, danger, tension, and high stakes, “Andor” is at its core a story about revolution. The cast features a diverse group, several of whom are award-winning actors from the British theater world and others who are well known to the Star Wars franchise and the cinema world in general. Diego Luna returns as Cassian Andor, and Genevieve O’Reilly returns to her role of Mon Mothma. O’Reilly has a history with Star Wars, having first appeared in “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” and then “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” as well as voicing the character in “Star Wars Rebels.”
They are joined by Stellan Skarsgård, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, Fiona Shaw, and Faye Marsay. The creator and showrunner for the series is Academy Award® and BAFTA-nominated writer/director/producer Tony Gilroy, who also wrote Episodes 1, 2, 3, 11, and 12. Gilroy, who co-wrote “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” is known for writing and directing the critically acclaimed feature films “Michael Clayton” and “The Bourne Legacy” and wrote the first three Bourne Films.
The first three episodes of “Andor” premiere on September 21, exclusively on Disney+. It is currently on its fourth episode and new episodes will drop every week until November 24th.
