A Rebellion Is Slowly Brewing in 'Andor'

“I’m sure when Star Wars: Andor is complete it will be regarded as one of the greatest installments to ever grace franchise,” says Annlyel James

Is Star Wars: Andor destined to become one of the greatest installments in the galaxy far, far away?

My favorite Star Wars properties are Rogue One and Star Wars: Rebels. I find great joy in investing in stories of ordinary folk who come together and find the resolve and the will to take on an entire empire.

Andor is building a solid foundation by eliminating a wealth of action scenes for conversational battlegrounds instead. Every scene is fraught with tension as the characters analyze and struggle to trust one another. And each moment, large or seemingly insignificant, feels like it’s building to a larger narrative that will coalesce into a powerful final arc at the end of this season.

(L-R): Arvel Skeen (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), Taramyn Barcona (Gershwyn Eustache Jr), Vel Sartha (Faye Marsay), Cinta Kaz (Varada Sethu), Karis Nemik (Alex Lawther), Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) in Lucasfilm’s ANDOR, exclusively on Disney+. ©2022 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All Rights Reserved.

SEEDS OF REBELLION

This show is featuring the beginning of the Rebellion in a way that I’ve always wanted to see. I cannot wait to see the drama intensify throughout these two seasons. And how this story will directly affect Cassian’s involvement in Rogue One. I’m sure when this series is complete it will be regarded as one of the greatest installments in the franchise. Next week’s episode is bound to be one of the most intense episodes in any Star Wars series. And I cannot wait to see how it plays out.
