With the three-episode premiere set to hit screens on September 21st, folks are describing it as the best "Star Wars" since… well… Rogue One.

Now, the streamer's released a "Special Look" featurette reminding fans how the series fits into the franchise's overall timeline.

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.
