New ‘Andor’ Trailer Previews Darkest Star Wars Series Yet
It turns out that even in galaxies far, far away, there are production delays. The next Star Wars series, Andor, was set to premiere at the end of August. But its first full-length trailer reveals that fans will have to wait an extra three weeks to check out the Rogue One spinoff.
Andor stars Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), a thief called in to join the Rebel Alliance in the fight against the Galactic Empire. Set in the period of time between Episode III and Episode IV, it’s a dark time for the Star Wars universe; the downbeat, dramatic trailer serves as a great reminder of that.
“The Empire is choking us so slowly, we’re starting not to notice,” Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgard) tells Andor, as the trailer opens. “What I’m asking is this: Wouldn’t you rather give it all to something real?”
