Lucasfilm has released the first trailer for its new “Star Wars: Andor” series, and has set an August 31st premiere date with the first two episodes debuting at that time.
The series will focus on “Rogue One” character Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) and his journey to discover the difference he can make. The series brings forward the tale of the burgeoning rebellion against the Empire, a time five years before the events of ‘A New Hope’, and how people and planets became involved.
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. Genevieve O’Reilly, Stellan Skarsgård, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough and Kyle Soller also star.
Tony Gilroy is the creator and showrunner and executive produces alongside Kathleen Kennedy, Sanne Wohlenberg, Diego Luna and Michelle Rejwan.
The show’s first season will consist of twelve episodes with a second season of another twelve episodes already greenlit and shooting this Fall.
