In the clip that was released, Stellan Skarsgard and Diego Luna’s characters are seen discussing how stealing from the Empire functions. Fans of Rogue One must have been over the moon that they’re getting more of these characters after the film’s release in 2016.
You can check out the first official clip of Star Wars: Andor below:
The director of the Andor series, Tony Gilroy, was recently interviewed by Comicbook.com about the team’s efforts on the show. One of the topics that were highlighted during the interview was the show’s focus on everyday people in the world during Star Wars: Andor. The show’s characters isn’t like the chosen heroes that were seen in The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Instead, the show will focus on the street level to figure out what’s going on with the rebels.
“But our show is about ordinary people,” Gilroy noted. “They’re behind the scenes, they’re going to build the road to the revolution. We’re really in the kitchen with these people – our people are back there washing dishes, so canon might be happening off stage, but what’s happening for them is something completely different. Every day our aspiration in every department, on every costume, every weapon and every sideburn is always how to make it real.”
In addition to the show’s focus to the Rebellion itself, there’s also a focus on Mon Mothma that will have the fans looking for more.
“Our goal is to have as many varieties as you possibly can, and Mon Mothma has her own rebellion. People will find out a lot more about that as the show goes on, because there’s some really interesting things that we’re going to say about her,” Gilroy added. “It’s not that we’re reversing canon or anything we’re just going to tell you that, wow, you had no idea what some people were really about – and maybe you don’t understand why she’s doing it.”
Star Wars: Andor is set to be released on September 21, 2022 on Disney+.
