The Empire hunts Cassian Andor in the gripping first trailer for Andor: A Star Wars Story (Andor Season 2)
At long last, Lucasfilm has dropped the first trailer for Andor: A Star Wars Story (Andor Season 2). The long-awaited second season of the hit Star Wars series is emerging from lightspeed and onto Disney+ this April, and with the countdown now on, the new trailer thrusts us back into the action.
As we look back on the exciting finale of the first season, the new trailer brings us back to Cassian Andor just as the Empire’s grip tightens on the growing Rebellion. With the Death Star nearly complete and Director Krennic making his mark on the Imperial Security Bureau, things are heating up! Dedra Meero is eager to put a stop to the Rebellion while it’s still young and will do anything to achieve her goal. But don’t worry—Luthen, Saw Gerrera, and Mon Mothma are teaming up to push back against the Empire’s oppression. It’s shaping up to be an incredible showdown, but before we get ahead of ourselves, scroll down and check out the trailer here.
SEASON 2
While Season 1 followed a year in Cassian Andor’s life set about five years before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the forthcoming episodes will bridge the remaining gap. Covering four years told in three-episode arcs, Andor Season 2 follows Cassian as he evolves into a leader for the emerging Rebel Alliance. Cassian may have been a reluctant hero before, but the Andor we’ll meet next year is fueled by a higher purpose in the fight for freedom against the Empire.
If the trailer hasn’t convinced you to join the rebellion yet, Lucasfilm just dropped the first poster for the series. Captain Cassian Andor takes the spotlight, set against that classic worn-in vibe that we all love about the saga. Take a look below!
RELEASE
Seeing these characters back in action after such a long break is truly exciting. It feels like ages since we last enjoyed Andor Season One, especially considering the recent releases like Skeleton Crew and The Acolyte. But with the new season exploring the lead-up to Cassian’s heroic sacrifice in Rogue One and K-2SO making a comeback to bring some much-needed charm, the final twelve episodes of Cassian’s journey promise to be a rollercoaster ride. But can these new episodes give Cassian the perfect setup for his noble deeds? Tune in to Disney+ on April 22nd in the US/23rd in the UK to find out!
