Star Wars: Andor’s new video sets us up for a spy thriller
The days are counting down to the premiere of the Rogue One prequel series
Looking back at the beginning of the Revolution and a rough espionage thriller is promised to Star Wars fans, the new series of the universe entitled “ANDOR” which is expected to premiere on Disney Plus in a few days.
Via Twitter, Lucasfilm released a new video featurette featuring behind-the-scenes footage and commentary from series contributors including Tony Gilroy (creator, showrunner and writer), star Diego Luna as Cassian Andor and Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma.
At the same time, you will see several new scenes from the series, which is a prequel to ” Rogue One: A Star Wars Story ” in the following video:
A few words about Star Wars: Andor
Andor promises to explore a new perspective on the universe, focusing on Cassian’s journey to discover the difference he can make. The series will feature the story of the explosive rebellion against the Empire and how various people and planets became involved. It’s a time in the beloved universe full of danger, deception and intrigue, with Cassian taking his first steps on the path destined to transform him into a hero of the revolution. After all, we are five years before “Rogue One,” while the finale of the show, as Tony Gilroy said, will take us a few days before its first scene.
For the record, we already know that Season 1 and the already confirmed Andor Season 2 will consist of 12 episodes – the most of any live-action Star Wars series to date. The episodes are directed by Toby Haynes, Susanna White and Benjamin Caron.
Visually, it will even differ from the other spinoff series of Star Wars (see The Mandalorian, Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi) since it was shot “old-fashioned” without The Volume technology, with green screen and a mix of normal sets and practical effects.
At the same time, apart from Luna who we know will play his character from “Rogue One”, the spy Cassian Andor, the cast will also be joined by Stellan Skarsgard ( Dune ), Adria Arjona ( Morbius ), Fiona Shaw ( Killing Eve ), Denise Gough ( Monday, Flux Gourmet ), Kyle Soller ( Poldark ), and Robert Emms ( Chernobyl ). Finally, Forest Whitaker (Saw Gerrera) and Ben Mendelsohn (Orson Krennic) will also return from their roles in Rogue One .
” Succession ” composer Nicholas Britell has taken over Andor’s soundtrack.
ANDOR will premiere on September 21st on Disney+, with a triple episode.
