Star Wars: Andor Posters

Andor, also known as Star Wars: Andor, is an American science-fiction action-adventure television series created by Tony Gilroy for the streaming service Disney+. It is the fourth live-action series in the Star Wars franchise, as well as a prequel to the spin-off film Rogue One (2016). The series follows thief-turned-Rebel spy Cassian Andor during the five years that lead to the events of the film.

Diego Luna reprises his role as Cassian Andor and also serves as an executive producer. The ensemble cast also includes Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Joplin Sibtain, James McArdle, Rupert Vansittart, Stellan Skarsgård, Fiona Shaw, Alex Ferns, Gary Beadle, Genevieve O'Reilly, Denise Gough, Faye Marsay, Varada Sethu, Elizabeth Dulau, Kathryn Hunter, Alastair Mackenzie, Anton Lesser, Alex Lawther, Sule Rimi, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Gershwyn Eustache Jnr, Stanley Townsend, Ben Miles, Andy Serkis, Duncan Pow, Forest Whitaker, and Richard Dillane. Lucasfilm announced a series focused on Andor in November 2018, with Luna attached and Stephen Schiff hired as showrunner. Schiff was replaced by Rogue One co-writer Gilroy as creator and showrunner in April 2020. Filming began at the end of November 2020, with Gilroy unable to direct as planned due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming took place at Pinewood Studios in London and on location around the United Kingdom, and wrapped by September 2021.

The first season of Andor premiered on Disney+ on September 21, 2022, with a three-episode premiere. It has received critical acclaim, with praise for its writing, directing, performances (particularly those of Luna, Skarsgård, O'Reilly, and Serkis), action sequences, visual effects, musical score, and the darker, more mature tone compared to other Star Wars projects, although its pacing has received some criticism. The remaining episodes of the first season were released weekly through November 23. A second season is being filmed in London. It will conclude the series, and lead into the events of Rogue One.
