Dec 1, 2022 · Andor. ’s Gray Side. When Darth Vader first appeared in Star Wars, you heard him before you saw him. The pew-pew of laser guns gave way to a foreboding barrage of horns and then that hoarse ...
Oct 20, 2022 · Certainly not Andor creator Tony Gilroy, whose Star Wars based thriller goes far deeper than the surface as it showcases all sides of a galaxy at war. Understanding that lines of morality sometimes become blurred in times of large-scale conflict, Gilroy looks to show that deeming a person or act, good or evil is not so simple. “I can’t ...

Andor centers on Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), the spy who helped steal the Death Star plans in Rogue One that Luke would use to destroy the Empire’s greatest weapon in A New Hope. It would be fair to assume that the series would be chock-full of cameos and tie-ins to those films. Blessedly, it’s not. Like Rogue One, Andor is focused on the sacrifice...
As various franchises try to extend their lifespan with prequels, projects like Fantastic Beasts, House of the Dragon, and Rings of Power have all run into the same issues. Every beat can feel like a moment of fan service (look! the Mirror of Erised!); every twist a lame red herring (that dragon rider killed that other dragon rider in a slightly di...
Andor, to its credit, staunchly refuses to feed the internet the sort of Easter eggs and inter-franchise connections that fuel listicles and theory videos. Search YouTube for videos of fans watching the series, and usually loquacious Star Warsnerds simply sit there silent and slack-jawed as they watch the show. There are no precocious kid versions ...
In retrospect, the premiere date for Andor was probably ill-advised. The spy thriller debuted on Disney+ just a few short weeks after the lackluster Obi-Wan Kenobi show aired its finale. Obi-Wan had been the most anticipated Star Warsseries to date. Ewan McGregor was slated to return as the beloved character for over a decade before the show finall...
Andor announced its intentions early: Cassian kills a cop just minutes into the very first episode. But I don’t think Disney knows what to do with a show that argues you must sacrifice all that is good and innocent to violently throw off the shackles of oppression. After you finish an episode of Andorset in a labor camp, Disney+ will encourage you ...
Disney+ announced before the show even debuted that Andor would get two seasons, so its future was never in doubt. Elsewhere in the Star Wars universe, The Mandalorian will get a third season, and shows like Ahsoka and The Acolyte are on their way, along with a Lando Calrissian spinoff that’s been in the works for years. It’s doubtful that any of t...

Aug 1, 2022 · Cassian Andor is, in his way, the breakout character from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.Introduced as one of the Alliances more ruthless spies, his belief in its mission to end Imperial oppression leads him not only to sign up with Jyn Erso’s (Felicity Jones) plan to raid Scarif and retrieve the Death Star plans, but face the end of his life to ensure the data gets off planet and into the ...
