Andor Is Coming! Season 2 Trailer Is Live

I’ll be honest…I didn’t really get into the first season of Andor. A lot of people thought it was the best thing in the world but I found it too dry and slow-paced — the Mon Mothma scenes especially dragged for me. And while I did think the fights and prison scenes were tense and well-done, they weren’t all the show had to offer. To be honest though…this new trailer makes me more optimistic for Season 2.

Stuff HAPPENS! Things blow up! Other things get shot at! There’s even some dancing! And the chef’s kiss of the whole dish is “The Revolution Starts Now” by Steve Early scoring the whole set of clips. It’s well-done and gets one pumped. For those who skipped Season One entirely, the show is all about how its title character Cassian Andor rose from nothing to become one of the key figures of the Rebellion, as seen in the movie Rogue One.

Another improvement of Andor Season 2 over Season One will be a quicker pace. Showrunner Tony Gilroy himself confirms the show will move faster thanks mainly to all the time jumps. “We’re going to skip a whole year. We come back a year later, many things have changed,” he revealed in an interview. “And we’ll do three episodes, and we’ll jump a year. And we’ll do another three episodes, and we’ll jump a year. And we’ll come back to the final four episodes, and those episodes will be the last three days really before Rogue One, and the final scene of the show will be walking you into Rogue One.”

Disney+ plans to release the second season of Andor in pieces correlating to these time jumps, three per week (for a total of four weeks and twelve episodes). The rebellion truly gets under way April 22.
