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.

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.

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.

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.

Looks good .... but I also dug Rogue One 

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.

They lost me with the "Mods"...  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.

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.

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.

I had seen comments on Reddit about how bad that trailer was but nothing could have prepared me for that. the tone is so different from the first season, if the second season is anyway like that trailer it's going to be awful . Hopefully it's just a bad trailer as I really like the first season 

I haven't started the first season yet. But what makes me pause now is that trailer for season 2. They went very heavy on saying, "if you were a fan of season one, you'll love season two! Bigger! Better!"

Isn't Andor supposed to be espionage, low-key work?

Again, I didn't watch the first season yet so I could be very wrong.

To me, it looks like they just took all 'action' sequences and put them together but I'm assuming the essence is still there.

Think 70s sci-fi, if you like 70s sci-fi then you'll like andor, at least season one anyways

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
