One of the many, many things that makes Andor so great is that it’s uninterested in fan service. There are no gratuitous cameos. No wild, broad connections. First and foremost, creator Tony Gilroy wanted to tell an emotional, impactful, and timely story of heroism and hope, which just so happened to be in the world of Star Wars. But that doesn’t mean other members of his team didn’t want to have a little fun, and the set and prop designers did just that. In the first season of Andor, fans insta

Cassian Andor lived a lot of lives before he gave it all on the beaches of Scarif in Rogue One. And part of living those lives, sometimes by choice, sometimes by necessity, was that Cassian Andor had to not be Cassian Andor. The man loved a secret identity, and with it a new name to inhabit, but some were clearly better than others. 10) Fulcrum Not even a real name as it’s an Alliance codename, so by default it has to be last.

That big reveal at the end of Andor led to huge fan speculation regarding Bix Caleen (Adria Arjona) and her choice to depart the rebel base in season two of the hit Star Wars series. And now in an interview with Collider, the actress opens up about why Bix left Cassian to his destiny in Rogue One, confirming theories that have abounded after the series finale. “Yeah, I think she knows,” Arjona said, referring to when Bix became aware of her big secret. “I think she knows when she’s making the [

With Andor‘s second and final season now complete, Disney is hoping to turn the show’s critical raves and thoughtful discourse into award-season triumphs. It’s submitting the show for consideration in 23 categories at this year’s Emmys.

Across its two seasons, it became common to describe Andor as “unlike Star Wars.” Typically a compliment, this phrase was an easy shorthand to use, and it’s taken on greater meaning now that its cast and creatives can speak more freely about what stayed on the cutting room floor. Creator Tony Gilroy has recently discussed his active choice to not have the show feature future key players like Palpatine, Darth Vader, or Rogue One protagonist Jyn Erso. Ultimately, he thought including any of the t

When you finish watching season two of Andor, the natural next move is to dive right into Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the movie that introduced Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor to the galaxy far, far away. But he’s not actually the lead character in the 2016 film—that distinction goes to Felicity Jones’ Jyn Erso, daughter of reluctant Death Star architect Galen Erso. And while Andor leads right into Rogue One, and the two stories share many of the same characters, Andor creator Tony Gilroy made the

Andor is over—but its impact will linger on as one of Star Wars‘ proudest accomplishments. The Disney+ show won over fans and critics not just with its thrilling story and performances, but by pushing the boundaries of what the sci-fi franchise had ever attempted before.

The way the pieces have come together thanks to everyday people in a galaxy of unsung heroes—a senator on the run, survivors of colonization, bellhops, radical splinter cell members, and even Imperial defectors—is masterful storytelling.

There is a lot to love in Andor. It is a dense show, a big show, one that is filled with fascinatingly layered characters worth diving deep into, twisting plotlines that hold a mirror up to our world and the galaxy far, far away alike. It’s a show that, in spite of a certain reputation in contrast to other Star Wars stories, is filled with little nods to the franchise’s history old and new. But right now, at least in our moment of interest, it’s a show where Cassian Andor’s blaster pistol goes

What it takes to sustain a rebellion is brought into question in this week’s episode arc of Andor, which covers what happens two years before the main events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and the original Star Wars saga.
