Finally, The Best Star Wars Show Is Coming Back

The teaser trailer for Andor starts off with a strut that only a man who knows he’s leading the best show on Disney+ can pull off. In our first long look at the second and final season of this Rogue One prologue, created by Tony Gilroy, Diego Luna’s titular character poses a question: “We’re in a war. You wanna fight? Or you wanna win?” No matter the answer, there’s a whole lot of fight in this teaser as Cassian Andor and the Rebel Alliance try to tear the Empire down. There’s explosions, good old-fashioned Star Wars TIE-fighter-on-starfighter chases, a glimpse of the Death Star, and a Mon Mothma dance break, all set to Steve Earle’s “The Revolution Starts Now,” a fun departure from the classic Star Wars score.

The new season will debut April 22 on Disney+ with a three-episode premiere. The subsequent four weeks will drop three episodes at a time, so you can savor the thrill of Andor but also not wait 12 weeks to rewatch Rogue One, which Andor will lead us right up to. Stellan Skarsgård, Genevieve O’Reilly, Forest Whitaker, Adria Arjona, Kyle Soller, and Denise Gough return to season two, while Ben Mendelsohn and Alan Tudyk join the cast this season to reprise their Rogue One roles as the Imperial goon Orson Krennic and droid K-2SO, respectively. Meanwhile, we need to know if composer Nicholas Britell is going to give us the return of “Niamos! (Morlana Club Mix)” and maybe a part two.
