Disney+ has recently released the first teaser trailer for the upcoming Star Wars related series Andor on Thursday. Andor follows Cassian Andor, a character who first appeared in the 2016 movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The series will serve as a prequel to the movie in the early days after the Galactic Republic became the Empire.
The trailer begins with a clip of a man waking up in a small, idyllic town with loud clangs from a bell in a tower. Citizens rush around town, hiding weapons and huddling in their homes while ships that ferried clones around in Star Wars: Episode II- Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode 3 – Revenge of the Sith bring a legion to the small town. As clones march through the city, Andor first appears in the trailer, hiding behind a wall and waiting in the shadows.
However, Genevieve O’Reilly also appears in the trailer, reprising her role as Mon Mothma from both Revenges of the Sith and Rogue One. She says she’s being watched as she walks through a crowded dinner party. Stellan Skarsgård then pops up and looks out at something far in the distance through a pair of high powered binoculars. Andor is scheduled to release on August 31 on the popular streaming platform. The show will star Luna, O’Reilly, Skarsgård, Alan Tudyk, Adria Arjona, Kyle Soller and many more stars.
Meanwhile, the official description of the upcoming series reads, “The Andor series will explore a new perspective from the Star Wars galaxy, focusing on Cassian Andor’s journey to discover the difference he can make. The series brings forward the tale of the burgeoning rebellion against the Empire and how people and planets became involved.”
The synopsis continues, “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 show will be the latest in a long line of Star Wars content released to Disney+. The first two episodes of the series Obi-Wan Kenobi are set for release on Friday, May 27 and the television show Ahsoka starring Rosario Dawson is also set for release in the near future.
