Watch On
That is a heck of a badass trailer for Andor Season 2, which streams beginning April 22 on Disney+. To the strains of Steve Earle we see explosions, fires, gunfights, ships hurtling by house, stormtroopers on the march, lasers blasting all the things in sight, and Diego Luna blowing up one thing with a detonator whereas he walks away, just too cool to even look again at it.
Candy, yeah, however, like… that is nonetheless Andor, proper? I am not against some motion, however we’re not tuning in to see Guardians of the Friggin’ Galaxy. We principally need to see well-crafted characters having significant conversations with one another. Andor Season 2 nonetheless has that, too, proper… proper?
Regardless of the action-packed trailer, I would say likelihood is good Andor Season 2 will nonetheless have scene after scene of complicated characters simply speaking to one another. The primary three episodes are written by Tony Gilroy (co-writer of Rogue One and Andor Season 1), and Dan Gillroy and Beau Williamson, who each wrote episodes in Season 1, have additionally returned for this season. One other three episodes had been written by Tom Bissell, author of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, a number of Gears of Wars and the e book Further Lives: Why Video games Matter.
Together with Diego Luna, Adria Arjona returns as Bix Caleen, Stellan Skarsgård is again as Luthen Rael, and Kyle Soller reprises his position as Imperial middle-manager Syril Karn, who I might not thoughts watching a whole spinoff about as a result of he is probably the most plausible and sophisticated character ever created within the Star Wars universe.
We cannot have to attend all that lengthy as soon as the season begins: the 12 episodes of Andor Season 2 are going to be parcelled up in “4 weekly chapters of three episodes every,” in line with starwars.com. The season will span 4 years, main as much as the occasions of Rogue One, so I feel it is protected to say—sadly—the second season of Andor will probably be its final.
