Nick H. Supervisor Posted May 20, 2020 Supervisor Share Posted May 20, 2020 Quote Star Wars Cassian Andor Series Release Date, Cast, and News Rogue One's Cassian Andor is getting his very own Star Wars live-action series on Disney's streaming service. A second Star Wars live-action series is on the way for Disney+, the company’s upcoming streaming service. The currently untitled series will star Diego Luna, who is reprising his role as Cassian Andor, the Rebel spy from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Set to go into production next year in London, the new series will follow Cassian during the early days of the Rebellion and before the events of Rogue One (since, you know, he blew up in that movie). No showrunner has been named yet, but considering how Jon Favreau (The Jungle Book) is helming the other live-action series, The Mandalorian, expect a big name behind the director’s chair. Source and more I just finished Fallen Order and was doing some research on the people involved. Then I came across the above and saw that it doesn't seem to have been mentioned here. I could get behind a spy thriller genre in the Star Wars universe. Rogue One has certainly been my favourite off-shoot film so far, and The Mandalorian was brilliant. Hopefully they'll keep it up with this one. +Raze 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted May 20, 2020 Global Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2020 There's only so much SW people can take IMO. And if you felt the last movie didn't do it for you I don't know how many will bother to sign up to D+ for this. I'm starting to lose interest in the franchise myself.

I agree that the recent trilogy didn't inspire me, nor the Han Solo origin story. But like I said, Rogue One was a great start for spin-off films, and The Mandalorian showed me that D+ can bring a great galaxy to the TV as well. I won't be surprised if it doesn't go in the direction I would like, but I'm still rooting for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim K Global Moderator Posted August 1, 2022 Global Moderator Share Posted August 1, 2022 Quote The Andor series explores 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.

McCordRm Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I was ok with Boba Fett. They're treating it like "The Avengers" where they're introducing new characters while connecting them to established characters. My assumption is that it's for some "Big Bad" down the line. Anyhow, I'm down for this story. I dig spy stories and this one just might deliver the goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally pulled me out of my suspension of disbelief and threw me into the pit of ridiculous. And if the rumour mill is to be believed, it was 100% intentional on KK's part to ruin the show. If so... it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zathras5 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Anyone watch the premier episodes? I really enjoyed it... It definitely has a bit of a slow burn so understand them dropping 3 episodes at once. Much darker and grittier then anything they've done before. Probably not a good show for the little padawans.

Innervisions33 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Yes, so far so good... the action in episode 3 was worth the slow build. Also concur about it not necessarily being for the younger folks, though that's just a few things here and there. Zathras5 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innervisions33 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I like the pacing of this show... they are moving the story along slowly enough to build up the suspense while not making it seem like it is dragging. They are also managing to balance that in two separate areas: one being the immediate mission, and the other being the higher arching story behind the formative years of the Rebel Alliance. And of course doing all of this within a framework of "the audience knows the end result of all of this." Kudos to this show, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted October 25, 2022 Veteran Share Posted October 25, 2022 I've been enjoying this one a lot. The most recent episode was amazing. I particularly liked Fiona Shaw's acting. She plays Maarva Andor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
