Andor

Diego Luna stars as Cassian Andor in the prequel to 2016's Rogue One.

It’s the beginning of the origins of a revolution, and it’s a beautiful story because it reminds us what we are capable of, what we are all capable of. “We’re going to meet him when life is tough, it’s a very dark and interesting life because it’s just a regular guy that suddenly has to become part of something bigger, has to become part of a community that rises. The new trailer for Andor has landed, and it comes bearing gifts—namely, glimpses of all-new characters and an official release date.

Star Wars fans received a major shock on Monday morning when the official trailer for Andor revealed a release date of September 21, not the August 31 date ...

So while we may have to wait a little longer for Andor, Disney+ may try to keep the gaps between Star Wars and Marvel content even shorter going forward. Without a big archive and a constant flow of new releases, it’s difficult to keep subscribers around month to month. But how does all that affect Andor? Well, the Disney+ business model relies on new work releasing every month to keep subscribers from canceling.

Lucasfilm has dropped a revealing new batch of still from Andor, while it's been confirmed that the show's premiere has been delayed by a number of weeks ...

Andor explores a new perspective from the Star Wars galaxy, focusing on Cassian Andor’s journey to discover the difference he can make. Earlier today, Disney+ released a new trailer for Andor that, quite frankly, makes the show look nothing short of essential viewing. Elsewhere, we see Cassian in an Imperial uniform, Death Troopers, and some intriguing new locations.

The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Obi-Wan Kenobi all did something Andor will not do.

The aim, of course, is to make Andor not just look different from all of the other Star Wars shows before it, but to make it fit in seamlessly with the look of Andor’s previous appearance in Rogue One, which was also filmed on location and on soundstages. StageCraft is a new technology that was first used on The Mandalorian, and has since been used on The Book of Boba Fett as well as Obi-Wan Kenobi. It involves placing a huge circle of monitors on a soundstage with the ability to display any location in real time. But not Andor. From the first few images of the brand new trailer you can see that Andor actually did shoot on distant mountaintops. No longer do you need to travel to distant mountaintops to film on distant mountaintops; they can be recreated in a studio in Los Angeles on these incredible monitors. That fourth show is Andor, created by Rogue One co-writer Tony Gilroy, and it debuts on Disney+ September 21. The main thing that stopped George Lucas from making Star Wars TV shows decades ago was money.

'Andor' on Disney Plus looks like the best thing Star Wars has done since Rogue One.

Andor takes place before the events of Rogue One (obviously) when the rebellion was just beginning. The first trailer for Andor was honestly one of the best things Disney has done with Star Wars all year. The second trailer is even better.

Andor, the upcoming Star Wars live-action series on Disney+, won't only bring back Saw Gerrera but also Chancellor Valorum!

Andor has been delayed to Sept. 21, but the wait also means the first three episodes of the series will drop that Wednesday! It seems Luthen is being set up as a previously unknown founder of the Rebel Alliance, and also doesn’t seem afraid to get his own hands dirty by the way he shoots at TIE fighters in one scene. We see them operating on the character played by Alex Lawther (The End of the F***ing World). Since Andor takes place five years before the events of Rogue One, it doesn’t look like the Partisans have yet settled on Jedha to sabotage the Imperial kyber crystal mining operation, which is why their base looks a bit different in this trailer. When it drops on streaming later this fall, Andor is poised to finally deliver the backstory for one of the best Star Wars characters of the Disney era. In the trailer, we watch him not only meeting with Genevieve O’Reilly’s Mon Mothma on Coruscant but also trying to recruit Saw Gerrera and Cassian to his new cause.

"Star Wars" series "Obi-Wan Kenobi" and "The Mandalorian" used an LED wall called StageCraft to create images in real time on set. "Andor" avoided it.

StageCraft can be a money-saving mechanism, and building practical sets could have inflated "Andor's" production costs. The volume on a set is typically the space where a green screen would be located and images would be created. The tech was used on "Rogue One," however.

In choosing not to use StageCraft or The Volume, Star Wars: Andor has broken a major Disney+ filming trend.

While it's true that Star Wars has revolutionized the technical side of the film industry time and again, it's done so in narratives where tech is often perceived as a threat. “In Pitlochry, Scotland, we had to walk for hours up a mountain to set up one shot,” says Luna. “Huge effort. It's faster, cheaper, streamlines production, and in the true Star Wars tradition, is revolutionizing the way films and television are made. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story stunned audiences in 2016 with its gorgeous visuals and varied locations. This is known as The Volume. When A New Hope premiered in 1977, it wasn't just a fun ride but a technological achievement that changed the way movies were made.

Disney is getting slammed by "Star Wars" fans for showing an AK-47 in a trailer for the upcoming series "Andor."

According to Britannica, it is “possibly the most widely used shoulder weapon in the world.” Instead, he used the gun as the basis by which to create the fictional A280 blaster rifle, which was famously featured in the film. While none of those mass shootings were carried out with an AK-47, the alleged perpetrators used similar weapons to slaughter their victims. Hell, the guy looks like he’s wearing a jacket and hoodie. “That design clearly being a prop AK-47 is just lazy. So very tired.”

We currently only know of three confirmed characters returning from other Star Wars media to appear in the series. After Rogue One saw Cassian Andor meet his end, it's unsurprising that this series is a prequel to that film. Tony Gilroy, the series' creator recently confirmed with Empire that the first season would chart one year in the timeline, while season 2 will chart four years in total, meaning that by the end of the series, the five years between this new series and Rogue One will have passed, and Andor will be off to meet his noble end on Scarif.
