Watch the First teaser of Andor a prequel series to “Rogue One”
“Andor,” a prequel series to “Rogue One,” will premiere on Disney+ on August 31 with a two-episode launch. It will have 12 episodes total, but 12 more episodes, making up a Part 2 to the series, will begin filming in November. The Part 2 will lead up directly to the events of “Rogue One,” it was announced at the 2022 Star Wars Celebration.
Also revealed on Thursday, Nicholas Britell will score the series. The new trailer shows the darker, grittier side of the Star Wars universe and offers a first look at Stellan Skarsgård’s rebel leader and Genevieve O’Reilly’s Mon Mothma.
The Disney+ series serves as a prequel to the 2016 standalone film “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” which chronicled how a ragtag group of Rebel spies, led by Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) and Cassian Andor (Luna), infiltrated the Imperial military base that held the plans for the Death Star. Following on the heels of the gargantuan success of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” “Rogue One” grossed just over $1 billion worldwide.
