Andor, the star of the upcoming Star Wars series, believes that seeing the programme will alter your perception of Rogue One. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, released in 2016, told the story of how the Rebel Alliance managed to steal the Death Star designs, paving the way for the events of the original Star Wars trilogy, and included a sequence in which Darth Vader massacres a corridor full of rebels for amusement.
Disney and show Andor
One of the film’s daring protagonists was Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor, a hero, unlike anything upcoming Star Wars series fans had seen before. In the first scene of Rogue One, Andor kills an informant to avoid being apprehended by Stormtroopers, a move that even a scoundrel like Han Solo would struggle to make.
It was a thrilling introduction to the character and a clear indication that Cassian was willing to go to any length to assist the Rebel Alliance. According to Luna, fans who are curious about how someone in the Star Wars universe becomes like this should look no further than the new Disney and show Andor. On the surface, his arrival on Andor is identical to our first glimpse of him in Rogue One, with Cassian delivering death in a dark and dreary part of the galaxy.
However, if Cassian was a formidable rebel spy in Rogue One, the man we meet at the opening of Andor is quite different; he is simply one of many trying to survive in a galaxy under the Empire’s control. Luna has stated that the programme will explore the man’s story and the movement he joins, as well as provide a fresh look at Cassian Andor as he appears in Rogue One.
Rogue One
If Rogue One reveals how Cassian helped the rebels gain the Death Star blueprints, Andor will disclose how and why he originally joined them. He stated: “I believe you’ll be able to see Rogue One after seeing Andor and realising it’s a different film; you’ll comprehend other things. I think it’ll be interesting to hear what people think about Rogue One as we finish the story’s second half.
“What I can tell you is that learning more about this individual is pretty fascinating.”
The excitement of fans for the upcoming Star Wars series
Fans will have to watch the entire film to gain a comprehensive picture of Cassian’s character and its impact on a future Rogue One re-watch. Of course, there will be some surprises for viewers, as Luna admitted that there were “so many questions we had to solve” when discovering who his character was and how he came to be.
Fans will understand why Cassian becomes one of the rebellion’s trusted operatives and eventually comes to help Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) steal the Death Star schematics after seeing Andor, according to Luna.
The show will also portray how the Rebel Alliance grew into a movement that finally overthrew the Empire, with Luna calling it “the story of a revolution’s genesis.”
Andor will take fans into the dazzling halls of power and reveal an empire losing its grip on the galaxy while diving into the darkest parts of the sci-fi universe with its titular protagonist. According to Luna, the show is an “ensemble piece” that is “very rich in terms of individuals we’ll meet,” so the Andor name will appear and explore other stories throughout the series. According to Andor creator Tony Gilroy, the first 12 episodes of the show will span a year in the Star Wars world.
Meanwhile, the second season is expected to ratchet up the pace, with a dozen episodes spanning four years of the chronology and bringing Cassian’s journey to Rogue One. Luna is ecstatic for Star Wars fans to view the entire thing, calling it a “labour of love” that everyone involved “adored” crafting.
The cast of star wars
The actor also lauded Andor’s down-to-earth (if such a thing exists in Star Wars), adding the show gives viewers a “really realistic perspective on the existence that we would have in that galaxy far, far away.” The first three episodes of Andor will be available on Disney Plus on September 21, with weekly instalments following.
When word of a new streaming programme spreads, viewers prefer to tell one another not how many episodes are in the season but how many you have to watch before it becomes good. The magic number in the case of Andor (Disney+), the most recent addition to the Star Wars TV world, is three.
After a glut of meticulous world-building, Andor finally becomes the gritty, kinetic spy thriller it has been marketed as in its third instalment. If you can get past the opening marathon, you’ll get what seems to be the best Star Wars show since The Mandalorian.
Conclusion
This film is a prequel to Rogue One, which was a prequel to the upcoming Star Wars series A New Hope. Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) is a top intelligence agent for the Rebel Alliance as they prepare to attack the Death Star in Rogue One. It’s five years earlier when Andor begins, and Cassian—still played by Luna—is only a thief who enjoys liberating Galactic Empire starship components. When he boldly departs his home planet of Ferris and visits Morlana One, a corporatized hellscape, he becomes a wanted man who can no longer operate under the political radar.
We get to know Cassian, the lone wheeler-dealer whose ducking and diving frustrate his adoptive mother, Maarva (Fiona Shaw, hurrah), faithful robot companion B2EMO, and Cassian’s lost love, headstrong mechanic Bix Caleen, at some length-every scene takes four minutes to say something that could have wrapped up in two; even the opening bit where ANDOR fades up in the cool upcoming Star Wars series font goes on for 35 seconds.
