Watch On
That’s 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 means of house, stormtroopers on the march, lasers blasting every thing 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.
Sweet, yeah, however, like… that is nonetheless Andor, proper? I’m not against some motion, however we’re not tuning in to see Guardians of the Friggin’ Galaxy. We principally wish to see well-crafted characters having significant conversations with one another. Andor Season 2 nonetheless has that, too, proper… proper?
Despite the action-packed trailer, I’d say chances are high good Andor Season 2 will nonetheless have scene after scene of advanced characters simply speaking to one another. The first 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. Another three episodes have been written by Tom Bissell, author of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, a number of Gears of Wars and the e-book Extra Lives: Why Games Matter.
Along 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’d not thoughts watching a complete spinoff about as a result of he is probably the most plausible and complicated character ever created within the Star Wars universe.
We will not 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,” based on starwars.com. The season will span 4 years, main as much as the occasions of Rogue One, so I feel it is secure to say—sadly—the second season of Andor shall be its final.
