- Star Wars followers assume it teases a potential look from Darth Vader
- The teaser additionally features a reference to Rogue One‘s official trailer
There’s lower than 4 weeks to go till Andor season 2 is launched – and, similar to London buses, after ready so lengthy for one trailer, we have acquired two in fast succession.
That’s proper, precisely one month (on the time of publication) since Andor season 2’s first trailer made its worldwide debut on February 24, Lucasfilm has launched one closing teaser earlier than the present returns.
It’s a extra suspense-filled trailer than its predecessor, too, which speaks to the heightened stakes at play because the embryonic Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire’s main gamers place themselves for the battles forward.
Watch On
The trailer’s runtime is available in at a handy guide a rough 82 seconds, however there’s loads to unpack from the footage inside. Sure, there are quite a few scenes and clips from the acclaimed Star Wars collection’ first season 2 trailer, however there’s sufficient new materials to whet our urge for food forward of the forthcoming entry’s Disney+ debut.
The trailer’s been reside for lower than two hours (once more, on the time of writing), however there’s one particular clip that is dominated fan discussions within the speedy aftermath of its launch. Indeed, on the 0:52 mark, Dedra Meero, one of many Empire’s Imperial Security bigwigs, is seen clutching at her jacket collar, which suggests she’s struggling to breathe.
Star Wars devotees do not want a second invitation to hazard a guess about what is going on on. Indeed, as many have pointed on a few Reddit threads, it seems Meero is being force-choked by… somebody.
That begs the query: if Meero is being force-choked, who’s the probably offender? There’s just one particular person who’s famend for squeezing the air out of individuals’s throats: Darth Vader.
Is the Star Wars franchise’s legendary Sith Lord going to make a quick cameo in Andor‘s second season, then? Maybe. After all, he made a telling cameo in among the best Disney+ reveals’ soon-to-be sequel film Star Wars: Rogue One, which truly got here out in 2016 however will decide up the place Andor season 2’s story leaves off. Vader is knocking about at this level on the Star Wars timeline, so I would not rule out an look from the person previously referred to as Anakin Skywalker.
That mentioned, different followers assume Meero is just having a panic assault. That’s additionally a chance, particularly if a severely traumatic occasion happens that entails her. Anyone who’s suffered a panic assault is aware of how they’ll take your breath away and/or make it laborious to breathe, so perhaps that is all that is occurring right here.

But I digress. Andor season 2’s newest trailer additionally incorporates an ominous name again to Rogue One‘s personal trailers – and no, I’m not speaking concerning the quite a few characters who’re slated to look in season 2, and who additionally present up in Rogue One.
I’m, in reality, speaking concerning the spine-chilling siren that may be heard all through this teaser’s near-90-second runtime. Okay, mentioned klaxon can solely be heard as soon as Rogue One‘s official trailer (on the 1:10 mark, to be precise), nevertheless it’s nonetheless a enjoyable little Easter egg that additional strengthens the ties between Andor and its film sibling.
