Official Andor trailer shows us what the birth of a revolution looks like

Disney+ has released an action-packed trailer for Andor, the forthcoming 12-episode prequel series set five years before the events of Rogue One, starring Diego Luna as Cassian Andor.

As we've reported previously, our first look at the series came from a behind-the-scenes teaser in December 2020 during Disney's Investors Day. We got a short teaser earlier this year at Star Wars Celebration. Andor has been described as a "tense, nail-biting spy thriller," with Tony Gilroy, who co-wrote Rogue One, serving as showrunner.

The story begins with the Empire's destruction of Cassian Andor's homeworld and will depict his transformation from a "revolution-averse" cynic to a major player in the nascent rebellion who is willing to sacrifice himself to save the galaxy. According to Deadline Hollywood, Luna described Andor as “the journey of a migrant. That feeling of having to move is behind this story—that shapes you as a person. It defines you in many ways, and what you are willing to do.”
