Andor Preview: Cassian Knows What It Takes to Steal From the Empire

After yesterday's impressive release of preview images for the three-episode premiere of Tony Gilroy (Rogue One), Disney+ & Lucasfilm's upcoming Diego Luna-starring Andor, the franchise creator, streamer, and the studio thought you might want to see what it looks like when those images move. In the following clip, Luna's Cassian gets some important "reminders" from Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgard) on what it means to steal from the Empire. Ouch. But it seems like Cassian has it all figured out…

With the three-episode premiere set for September 21st, here's a look at the newest clips from Andor:

Earlier this month, Disney+ released a key art poster that also substitutes as a calendar of when the season's episode will debut:

Previously, Gilroy confirmed a two-season, five-year story timeline that will spell out over 24 episodes. The first 12-episode season will cover the first year of Cassian Andor's (Luna) story and the rise of the Rebellion. The second 12-episode season will then cover the other four years before a narrative hand-off to Rogue One. With the series set to hit streaming screens on September 21st with three episodes, here's a look at the official trailer for Disney+ & Lucasfilm's upcoming Star Wars: Andor:

The "Andor" series will explore a new perspective from the Star Wars galaxy, focusing on Cassian Andor's journey to discover the difference he can make. The series brings forward the tale of the burgeoning rebellion against the Empire and how people and planets became involved. It's an era filled with danger, deception and intrigue where Cassian will embark on the path that is destined to turn him into a rebel hero.
