Everybody’s taking a look at one thing within the trailer for Andor. What may it's? No matter it's, it’s not Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor.
As Lucasfilm continues its huge celebration of Star Wars a day after the unique movie’s forty fifth anniversary, having already dropped a trailer for Willow, the corporate additionally debuted the very first have a look at one other upcoming collection. Following Friday's Disney+ launch of Obi-Wan Kenobi comes Andor, which unpacks the underdog story of Luna’s character earlier than the occasions of Rogue One.
Nevertheless it’s virtually a whole minute—half the trailer—till we lastly see Andor’s huge return. After that, radio silence from the titular character. Severely. Once we get trailers of Obi-Wan or Willow, we get huge, sweeping pictures of the returning key roles. However Diego Luna is nowhere to be discovered on this first look, which provides extra of Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly) as a substitute. Give us extra Diego Luna, Disney+!
Alas, we’ll should work with what we’ve bought right here. The trailer begins with an enormous bell ringing ceremony, which returns time and again with huge “BRONGGGG” noises all through the trailer. Stormtroopers crush the bottom beneath their ft, scaring harmless civilians into hiding. Everybody’s operating away from the Empire.
Luna made his first debut within the Star Wars universe within the 2016 motion movie Rogue One, which adopted the occasions main as much as the Insurgent Alliance’s destruction of the Dying Star. Sadly, the mission had no survivors—which means this collection is clearly a prequel saga, maybe tracing Andor’s journey heading into the occasions of Rogue One.
“I imply, he consciously, soberly, with out self-importance or recognition, sacrificed himself. Who does that?” creator Tony Gilroy mentioned of the collection. “That’s what this primary season is about. It’s about him being actually revolution-averse, and cynical, and misplaced, and sort of a large number.”
Whereas talking with Vainness Honest, Luna and Gilroy additionally teased Andor as a refugee story, particularly honing in on the oldsters of Andor’s house fleeing from the Empire. That explains the remainder of the trailer, then, doesn’t it?
Andor will premiere on Disney+ on August 31. We’ve bought loads of Obi-Wan episodes to binge till then!
