Rogue One

Andor, also known as Star Wars: Andor and Andor: A Star Wars Story for its second season, is an American dystopian science fiction political spy thriller television series created by Tony Gilroy for the streaming service Disney+. It is part of the Star Wars franchise and a prequel to the film Rogue One (2016), which itself is a prequel to the original Star Wars film (1977). The series follows thief-turned-rebel spy Cassian Andor during the five formative years leading up to the events of the two films, exploring how he becomes radicalized against the Galactic Empire and how the wider Rebel Alliance is formed.

Diego Luna reprises his role as Cassian Andor from Rogue One and serves as an executive producer. The series also stars Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Stellan Skarsgård, Fiona Shaw, Genevieve O'Reilly, Denise Gough, Faye Marsay, Varada Sethu, Elizabeth Dulau, Ben Mendelsohn, Benjamin Bratt, and Alan Tudyk. Lucasfilm announced a series focused on Andor in 2018, with Luna attached and Stephen Schiff hired as showrunner. Schiff was replaced by Rogue One co-writer Gilroy as creator and showrunner in April 2020. Filming took place at Pinewood Studios in London and on location around the UK, with Neal Scanlan returning from Rogue One to provide practical effects. The first season, which tells a year of Andor's story when he first becomes a revolutionary, was filmed from November 2020 to September 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The second season covers the next four years leading up to Rogue One, and was filmed from November 2022 to February 2024 with breaks and delays due to the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes. Nicholas Britell composed the series' original score for the first season, while Brandon Roberts composed for the second season.

Andor premiered on September 21, 2022; episodes of the season were released weekly through November 23. The second and final season premiered on April 22, 2025, with three episodes released weekly until May 13. The series has received widespread critical acclaim for its writing, performances, characterization, cinematography, production values, themes, and its darker, more mature and grounded tone compared to other Star Wars properties; some publications have called it the greatest Star Wars production ever created. The series has received twenty-two nominations for Primetime Emmy Awards over two seasons, including nominations for Outstanding Drama Series for both years.[3]

## Premise

[edit]

Andor represents a detailed view on how the Galactic Empire's government operates and the everyday consequences of its actions upon its citizens. Beginning five years before the events of Rogue One and A New Hope, the series employs an ensemble cast of characters to demonstrate how a Rebel Alliance forms in opposition to the Galactic Empire. Central to the cast is the eponymous Cassian Andor, a thief who becomes a revolutionary and eventually joins the Rebellion.[4][5]

## Cast and characters

[edit]

Diego Luna, Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona (top), Stellan Skarsgård, Genevieve O'Reilly, and Denise Gough (bottom) star in Andor.

### Starring

[edit]

* Diego Luna as Cassian Andor: A thief and scavenger whose home planet, Kenari, was rendered uninhabitable by the Galactic Empire. The series begins with Andor as a "revolution-averse" cynic and explores how he becomes "the most passionate person who's going to give themselves to save the galaxy" in Rogue One. Gilroy has described him as a natural leader who manipulates people, adding that he is "really a perfect kind of spy, warrior, killer."[4][5] Antonio Viña portrays a young Cassian, when he was known as Kassa.[6]
* Kyle Soller as Syril Karn: A Deputy Inspector for Preox-Morlana (Pre-Mor) Authority, a corporate conglomerate in charge of a trade sector. Syril works for Pre-Mor's security services and is determined to capture Cassian after learning he killed two Pre-Mor security employees.[6]

* Stellan Skarsgård as Luthen Rael: A key player in the nascent rebellion, known only as "Axis" by Imperial agents. He is Bix's contact for selling stolen equipment, and hires Cassian on his first mission as a Rebel operative. Luthen poses publicly as an antiques dealer from Coruscant.[7][8] In the second season, Luthen's relationship with much of the cast has grown strained, particularly Cassian and Mon.

1| 1| "Kassa"| Toby Haynes| Tony Gilroy| September 21, 2022 (2022-09-21)

Five years before the Battle of Yavin, Cassian Andor looks for his missing sister on the industrial planet of Morlana One. Cassian is antagonized in a brothel by two Pre-Mor Corporate Security officers, leading to an altercation where he kills one accidentally then murders the other. On his home planet of Ferrix, he attempts to hide his involvement by convincing his adoptive mother, Maarva, her droid, B2EMO, and his friend, Brasso, to cover for him. In possession of an N-S9 Starpath unit, a valuable piece of Imperial navigation technology, Cassian asks his friend Bix to connect him with a black-market buyer, which she reluctantly agrees to. Meanwhile, Bix's boyfriend, Timm, is suspicious of Cassian. To improve his rapport with Imperial authorities, Morlana One's chief inspector of security elects to cover up the two killings. However, his deputy, the dutiful Syril Karn, is determined to solve the case. He identifies Cassian's ship, traces it to Ferrix and learns that he is originally from the tribal planet Kenari. In a flashback, a younger Cassian, known as Kassa, joins a group on Kenari investigating a crashed ship. Kassa rebuffs his younger sister's efforts to join the search, leaving her behind in their encampment.

2| 2| "That Would Be Me"| Toby Haynes| Tony Gilroy| September 21, 2022 (2022-09-21)

Timm, still suspicious of Bix's relationship with Cassian, reports Cassian to Pre-Mor Security, which has issued a warrant for his arrest. Syril enlists Sergeant Linus Mosk, an equally dutiful Pre-Mor officer, to help arrest Cassian. B2EMO informs Cassian and Maarva of the warrant, and Cassian prepares to flee the planet. Meanwhile, Luthen Rael, Bix's buyer, travels to Ferrix to obtain the Starpath unit. In a flashback, Kassa's group locate the crashed ship near a massive abandoned industrial strip-mining operation. When their leader is killed by a crew member of the downed ship, the tribe kills the attacker and flees from the crash site. Kassa stays behind to explore the ship.

3| 3| "Reckoning"| Toby Haynes| Tony Gilroy| September 21, 2022 (2022-09-21)

Luthen arrives on Ferrix and meets Cassian in an abandoned factory. Syril and Mosk also appear with a dozen security men and confront Maarva, who refuses to cooperate. Intercepting a transmission from Cassian to B2EMO, Syril pinpoints Cassian's position. Cassian intends to sell the Starpath unit and leave Ferrix, but Luthen tries to recruit him into his rebel network, citing Cassian's repeated success at stealing from and sabotaging Imperial ships. When Syril's security men raid the factory, Luthen's preparation and experience help the two men escape the factory, subduing Karn along the way. After learning of Timm's betrayal, Bix rushes to aid Cassian, only to be stopped by the "Corpos." Timm is killed when he attempts to intervene. One of the landing pods in which the security team arrived is sabotaged by Brasso and destroyed. Luthen and Cassian eventually escape the planet while Syril and Mosk radio a request for evacuation. In a flashback, Maarva and her husband, Clem, scavenge the crashed ship on Kenari and find Kassa. Maarva decides to take him with them, fearing for his life if he is discovered there by the Republic.

4| 4| "Aldhani"| Susanna White| Dan Gilroy| September 28, 2022 (2022-09-28)

Luthen takes Cassian to the planet Aldhani, posting him to a robbery mission there. Cassian is reluctant but eventually agrees to cooperate. Luthen asks him to use a pseudonym among the rebels, and Cassian chooses 'Clem'. Having been promised 200,000 credits as payment, Luthen gives Cassian a kyber crystal as a down payment, wanting it returned to him upon completion of the job. Vel, the rebel group's leader, introduces him to the rest of the team (Skeen, Taramyn, Nemik, and Cinta, as well as Imperial Lieutenant Gorn) but keeps Luthen's involvement a secret. They explain to Cassian that they plan on stealing the payroll of an Imperial sector from the Aldhani garrison in three day's time. They will be taking advantage of a rare natural phenomenon in Aldhani's sky, 'The Eye' to make a timed escape, given the slow speed of their getaway vehicle. Meanwhile on Coruscant, Luthen, living a double life as an antiques dealer, meets with Senator Mon Mothma, and they discuss the challenges of keeping their opposition to the Empire hidden. Syril returns to live with his mother Eedy on Coruscant after being castigated and fired by Imperial supervisor Blevin, with the Morlana system being placed under Imperial authority. Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) Lieutenant Dedra Meero seeks access and authority over the Ferrix incident regarding the recovered Starpath unit, but is opposed by Blevin and their superior Major Partagaz.

5| 5| "The Axe Forgets"| Susanna White| Dan Gilroy| October 5, 2022 (2022-10-05)

On Aldhani, Cassian hides his past from the others and is met with distrust, particularly from Skeen. Nemik attempts to enlighten Cassian on his ideals of the rebellion, while Taramyn trains Cassian and the others for the heist. Lieutenant Gorn molds his men to fit his purposes of assisting the robbery, while growing more and more disgusted with the lack of respect shown towards the Dhanis. While traveling to the garrison, Cassian reveals that he is a mercenary after Skeen forcibly discovers the kyber crystal, and Vel struggles to maintain cohesion amidst the tension. On Coruscant, Syril tensely discusses new career prospects with Eedy. Mon Mothma establishes a new charitable foundation while managing increasingly bitter relationships with her husband Perrin and daughter Leida. Supervisor Blevin seizes a hotel as the new ISB headquarters on Ferrix. Meanwhile, his rival Dedra and her assistant Heert reach the conclusion that the rebels are conducting a series of coordinated heists on Imperial assets. Luthen anxiously awaits a transmission from Vel's group, with his assistant Kleya preaching a calm head.

6| 6| "The Eye"| Susanna White| Dan Gilroy| October 12, 2022 (2022-10-12)

Aided by Gorn, the rebels infiltrate the garrison by posing as an escort squad for Gorn's superior, Commandant Jayhold Beehaz. As the Dhanis arrive and begin to celebrate The Eye, the group take Beehaz's family hostage while killing a colonel, and force Beehaz to give them access to the payroll vault. While loading the credits onto a freighter, the group are discovered by Imperial forces. Gorn and Taramyn are killed in the ensuing firefight and Cinta escapes on foot disguised as an officer, while Cassian, Nemik, Skeen and Vel escape aboard the freighter. Nemik is crushed by an unsecured load of credits on takeoff, but is able to navigate Cassian through The Eye to safety. Landing on a remote planet to tend to Nemik's severe injuries, Skeen secretly proposes to Cassian that they betray Vel and split the payroll between themselves. Enraged and fearing for his life, Cassian kills Skeen, reports the conversation to Vel and informs her of his intention to take the sum he was promised as payment and leave her the rest along with the crystal. Vel gives Cassian Nemik's rebel manifesto, as was his dying wish. Back on Coruscant, the ISB agents are gathered to formulate reprisals to the heist, while Luthen quietly celebrates.

7| 7| "Announcement"| Benjamin Caron| Stephen Schiff| October 19, 2022 (2022-10-19)

On Coruscant, Syril starts a new job at the Bureau of Standards. Colonel Wullf Yularen announces that the ISB has gained more surveillance and punitive authority, while Dedra is challenged by Blevin for breaking protocol by accessing Imperial data without authorization. She persuades their superiors of the value of her work and is granted oversight of Ferrix. Luthen's assistant Kleya instructs Vel to find and kill Cassian to protect Luthen's identity. Mon Mothma meets with Tay Kolma, an old friend and banker, and asks him to help her access family funds. Cassian returns to Ferrix to settle old debts and learns that people blame him for the Imperial security crackdown there. The presence of stormtroopers on Ferrix reminds him of the murder of his adoptive father, Clem, by Imperial clone troopers at a protest on Rix Road. Cassian tries to persuade Maarva to leave Ferrix with him, but she decides to stay and resist the increased Imperial presence. Cassian travels to the tourist paradise of Niamos, adopting the name "Keef Girgo". Some time later, as he walks along the beachfront to a store, he is unjustly arrested by a shoretrooper for supposedly fleeing the scene of rebel activities, and sentenced to six years of imprisonment.

8| 8| "Narkina 5"| Toby Haynes| Beau Willimon| October 26, 2022 (2022-10-26)

Cassian is brought to an island prison on Narkina 5, discovering that it is a hard labor camp with thousands of prisoners manufacturing Imperial machinery. His floor manager Kino Loy inducts him into the strict disciplinary regime. Vel and Cinta travel to Ferrix to search for Cassian. When Maarva falls ill, Bix attempts to contact Luthen about Cassian's whereabouts, but Luthen, worried about his communications being monitored, does not answer. Luthen then leaves Coruscant to meet with Saw Gerrera. He attempts to hire Gerrera's rebel cell as air support for a raid on an Imperial power station at Spellhaus organized by Anto Kreegyr, but is turned away. Dedra questions Syril about his experiences on Ferrix, but declines his offer to help with her investigation. She leads a unit to Ferrix herself, where she apprehends Bix.

9| 9| "Nobody's Listening!"| Toby Haynes| Beau Willimon| November 2, 2022 (2022-11-02)

Dedra and Imperial scientist Dr. Gorst torture Bix for information and discover that Cassian may have been involved in the Aldhani heist. However, with Bix's lack of knowledge, they fail to learn anything about Luthen, whom Dedra has dubbed "Axis", observing that much Rebel activity is centered around him. The ISB capture a Rebel pilot from Kreegyr's group, who reveals that a power station on Spellhaus is set to be raided. Mon Mothma reunites with Vel, revealed to be her cousin, and encourages her to keep a low profile, maintaining the facade of a rich and apolitical young woman. Mon Mothma and Tay Kolma continue working to covertly gather funds for rebel activities. Meanwhile, an elderly member of Cassian's prison work crew named Ulaf is euthanized by a prison medic, Dr. Rhasiv, when he suffers a massive stroke days from his release date. Dr. Rhasiv confirms to Cassian and Kino a disturbing rumor: a prisoner being "released" at the end of his sentence was sent back around to work at the same prison and the guards killed all the prisoners on that level in a cover-up. Cassian and Kino realize that they will never be released alive. Cassian convinces Kino to join his escape plan.

10| 10| "One Way Out"| Toby Haynes| Beau Willimon| November 9, 2022 (2022-11-09)

By causing a flood from a water pipe, Cassian disables his unit's security system, allowing the prisoners to overpower the few guards and escape. Kino uses the prison's intercom system to incite rebellion throughout the rest of the prison, but reveals that he can't swim and must remain trapped on the island. Cassian swims with the other escapees and reaches land. Mon Mothma meets with Davo Sculdun, a shady businessman offering financial help for her projects, but declines after Sculdun requests that she arrange a meeting between her 13-year-old daughter Leida and his 14-year-old son, a step towards their Chandrilan tradition of arranged marriage. ISB supervisor Lonni Jung, secretly a rebel informant, meets with Luthen and updates him on ISB activities. The two men reflect on how they are both trapped in their roles.

11| 11| "Daughter of Ferrix"| Benjamin Caron| Tony Gilroy| November 16, 2022 (2022-11-16)

Maarva dies, prompting a large funeral gathering on Ferrix, which Dedra authorizes in the hopes that Andor will attend. Vel informs Kleya of Maarva's death and learns of Mon Mothma's reluctant plan to marry off Leida. Leida begins taking part in gatherings that promote Chandrilan traditions, much to the distress of Mon Mothma and Vel. Syril learns about the funeral from Linus Mosk. Saw Gerrera decides at the last moment to assist Kreegyr's attack on Spellhaus, but Luthen advises him against it, revealing that the plan has leaked to the ISB. To avoid attracting suspicion from the ISB, Saw agrees to let Kreegyr and his men be ambushed by imperial forces. Flying back to Coruscant, Luthen escapes from an Imperial patrol, destroying several TIE fighters and a tractor beam. On Narkina 5, with help from Keredians Dewi and Freedi, Cassian and fellow prisoner Ruescott Melshi are able to escape the moon and recover Cassian's belongings from Niamos. They part ways after Cassian discovers that Maarva has died, intending to publicly expose the injustice in the Imperial prison system.

12| 12| "Rix Road"| Benjamin Caron| Tony Gilroy| November 23, 2022 (2022-11-23)

Cassian returns to Ferrix for Maarva's funeral and learns of Bix's imprisonment. Dedra and the local Imperial garrison prepare to capture Andor for questioning regarding "Axis". Using the Imperial ambush as cover, Luthen plans, with Vel and Cinta's assistance, to kill Cassian to protect Rebel secrets. The ISB succeed in stopping Kreegyr's attack but leave no prisoners, angering Dedra. Leida is introduced to Sculdun's son. At Maarva's funeral, B2EMO plays a recorded speech by Maarva that rallies the populace to fight the Empire, kindling a riot. During the confusion, Cassian rescues Bix, while Syril saves Dedra from an attack. Meeting with B2EMO, Brasso, and several others in a shipyard, Cassian convinces them to take Bix away from Ferrix to safety. Moved by the rebellion on Ferrix, Luthen returns to his ship where Cassian is waiting. Knowing of Luthen's intentions, Cassian challenges Luthen to either kill him or take him in, to which Luthen smiles. In a post-credits scene, droids assemble the machinery produced by the Narkina 5 prisoners in the firing dish of the Death Star.

13| 1| "One Year Later"| Ariel Kleiman| Tony Gilroy| April 22, 2025 (2025-04-22)

One year after the Ferrix uprising, Cassian impersonates an Imperial test pilot in order to steal a prototype of a new Imperial ship, the TIE Avenger. Delivering it to a jungle moon, he is ambushed by a rogue band of squabbling guerillas, the Maya Pei Brigade. On the agricultural planet Mina-Rau, Bix, Brasso, Wilmon, and B2EMO fear detection by the Empire while in the undocumented employ of a local farmer; Bix suffers from PTSD caused by Gorst's torture. On Chandrila, Mon Mothma prepares for her daughter Leida's arranged marriage, but is informed by Tay Kolma that his financial investments have turned sour. Orson Krennic oversees a secret meeting of Imperial officers who plan to use force to obtain the rare mineral resources of the planet Ghorman, an initiative to which Dedra is reluctantly assigned. Dedra suggests that the mission's anti-Ghorman propaganda be accompanied by the provocation of a weak insurgency to discredit. The tension among the Maya Pei insurgents reaches a boiling point, and they kill several of their own as Cassian is taken hostage.

One year after the incident on Mina-Rau, Cassian and Bix have become active operators for Luthen and hide out on Coruscant; Bix is still beset by nightmares. On Ghorman, the Empire begins to construct an armory. Syril, with Dedra and Partagaz's backing, takes up a position in Palmo, the Ghorman capital, and infiltrates the Ghorman Front, the local rebel group, by feigning sympathy to their cause. Upon learning from Jung that Dedra is secretly supervising the ISB's operations on the planet, Luthen sends Cassian to assess the rebels. Wilmon is tasked with teaching Saw Gerrera's lieutenant Pluti how to configure a machine that extracts rhydonium, a fuel source for the Empire's starships that they plan to steal. Mothma unsuccessfully attempts to rally support to kill the renewal of a bill giving broad powers to the ISB.

Kleya learns that Sculdun intends to audit his antiquity collection having discovered a forgery, thus threatening to expose a bug she has planted in his gallery and forcing her to extract it during his upcoming Investiture party. Cassian connects with the Ghorman rebels and learns that they plan to intercept a weapons shipment, but he judges them to be too inexperienced and shoots down the plan, much to their frustration. Syril reports back to Coruscant with news of this heist, with Partagaz and Dedra agreeing to allow it to pan out to stir up the rebels. Saw kills Pluti after learning that he is a traitor, and has Wilmon work the extractor on the heist in his place.

18| 6| "What a Festive Evening"| Ariel Kleiman| Beau Willimon| April 29, 2025 (2025-04-29)

Cassian insists to Luthen that Ghorman's rebels are unprepared, and is resentful that Luthen secretly made contact with Bix to persuade her to return to action. Luthen chastises him for his short-sighted vision and instead sends Vel and Cinta to help the rebels pull off the heist. Vel and Cinta fully reconcile and rekindle their romance. The heist is successful, but one of the fighters disobeys Vel's orders and brings a blaster, only to accidentally kill Cinta when a passerby interferes, devastating Vel. At Sculdun's Investiture party, Krennic and Mothma debate the ethics of war while Kleya manages to extract her bug using Jung as a distraction. Bix breaks into Gorst's new office and uses his own torture device on him before leaving with Cassian, who remotely blows up the facility.

19| 7| "Messenger"| Janus Metz| Dan Gilroy| May 6, 2025 (2025-05-06)

One year later, the Rebels have begun coordinating military operations on Yavin IV, where Cassian and Bix now live. Wilmon tells them that Dedra is on Ghorman—whose rebel activities have been portrayed by state-sponsored media as terrorism instigated by outside agitators—and encourages Cassian to help assassinate her. Despite his concerns over the mission being from Luthen, Cassian agrees and travels with Wilmon to Ghorman. Bix is told by a Force healer that Cassian will be vital to the Rebellion. On Ghorman, Dedra finds her position temporarily supplanted by Captain Kaido, sent by Partagaz to oversee the Imperial subjugation of the planet, while Syril begins to doubt Dedra's line on outside agitators, given his interactions with the rebels.

20| 8| "Who Are You?"| Janus Metz| Dan Gilroy| May 6, 2025 (2025-05-06)

Kaido instigates a protest in Palmo's central square while closing off the available exits, and intentionally deploys inexperienced riot police into the volatile crowd. Arriving in the square alongside the protestors, Syril realizes his role in enabling the Empire's manipulative actions and violently confronts Dedra in her office, forcing her to tell him the truth about the Empire's intentions on Ghorman before storming out. Following a directive from Partagaz, Dedra reluctantly orders an Imperial sniper to open fire on a member of the riot police unit, triggering a shootout between the rebels and the Imperial forces. The protestors attempt to flee, but are massacred by Imperial blaster fire and KX security droids. Amidst the chaos, a dazed Syril wanders the square as Cassian seeks to assassinate Dedra through her office window. The two fight and Syril gains the upper hand, but hesitates to shoot Andor before being fatally shot by Carro Rylanz, the Ghorman rebel leader. The resistance manages to incapacitate a KX enforcer droid by ramming it with an armored transport. Cassian escapes Ghorman with the droid while Wilmon stays to aid his Ghorman girlfriend Dreena in broadcasting the news to the galaxy. In the aftermath, Dedra and Eedy separately confront their losses as Imperial news outlets place blame on outside agitators.

In the aftermath of the Ghorman massacre, the Empire frames the incident as an insurrection. Mothma writes a Senate speech denouncing Emperor Palpatine and prepares to flee to Yavin IV. Senator Bail Organa chooses to stay behind to aid the Rebellion in secret. Luthen learns from Jung that Bail's security team is compromised and assigns Cassian to extract Mothma from Coruscant. Meanwhile, Luthen clashes with Mothma over the depth of his subterfuge within the Rebellion and his choice to have Tay killed. With Organa's help, Mothma takes the floor of the Senate and powerfully condemns Emperor Palpatine and the genocidal Empire's manipulation of the truth. Cassian convinces Mothma to leave with him, killing the spy in Organa's rival security team and Mothma's ISB-planted driver Kloris; he brings Mothma to the safehouse on Coruscant where she publicly positions herself with the Rebellion.[a] Cassian accompanies the injured Wilmon back to Yavin IV. Disturbed by recent events, Cassian resolves to leave and begin a new life with Bix, but Bix departs during the night, leaving Cassian a message that implores him to stay and help the Rebellion and promises that she will find him again once it succeeds. Later, technicians reprogram K-2SO, the stolen KX droid, to serve the Rebellion.

22| 10| "Make It Stop"| Alonso Ruizpalacios| Tom Bissell| May 13, 2025 (2025-05-13)

One year after the events on Ghorman, Lonni reports to Luthen that the Empire's grand energy project is actually a weapon, and that Dedra has likely uncovered their identities. Though Luthen initially promises Lonni and his family safe passage from Coruscant, he kills him to ensure his silence. As Luthen destroys the communications system in his shop, Dedra confronts him with the stolen Starpath unit, deducing he is Axis. Luthen attempts suicide to avoid interrogation, but is taken alive to a hospital, while Kleya watches from afar. Flashbacks reveal that Luthen is a former Imperial sergeant, Lear, who defected after his unit massacred Kleya's hometown. Finding Kleya hiding on his ship, he informally adopts her and they begin selling antiques while waging resistance against the Empire. In the present, Dedra is arrested for her overreach, and Kleya infiltrates the hospital and disconnects Luthen's life support system.

23| 11| "Who Else Knows?"| Alonso Ruizpalacios| Tom Bissell| May 13, 2025 (2025-05-13)

Dedra is interrogated by Krennic, who admonishes her for allowing sensitive information about the secret Imperial weapons project to be leaked from her database, and for confronting Luthen without sufficient backup. The investigation into Dedra is assigned to her former assistant, Heert, who identifies Kleya from security footage. Partagaz declares Kleya a public health concern to expedite her arrest. In the Coruscant safehouse, Kleya sends Wilmon a distress signal, prompting him to send Cassian, Melshi, and K-2SO there to retrieve Luthen, alienating the group further from Yavin IV leadership. Dedra gives Heert insight into Luthen's communications technologies from her cell, enabling his team to track Kleya's signal to the safehouse, where they arrive close behind Cassian and Melshi. Kleya passes on Luthen's crucial intelligence, but asks to stay behind given the distrust of Luthen among the rebels on Yavin IV. As Heert's team closes in, K-2SO breaks into the building in pursuit.

24| 12| "Jedha, Kyber, Erso"| Alonso Ruizpalacios| Tom Bissell| May 13, 2025 (2025-05-13)

K-2SO kills Heert and his team, but Kleya is wounded. Cassian, Melshi, and K-2SO take her back to Yavin IV where they are grounded by Organa for their disobedience. Much of the Rebel leadership, including Organa, are scornful of Luthen and question the veracity of his new intelligence, but Mothma is willing to hear Kleya out. Vel speaks with Cassian, who convinces her of Luthen's integrity; the two toast their fallen comrades, while Kleya comes to terms with her new role on Yavin. Interrupted while listening to Nemik's rebel manifesto, Partagaz commits suicide just as he is about to be arrested. Dedra is imprisoned in a prison facility similar to Narkina 5 and breaks down crying. When a Rebel informant associated with Saw repeatedly contacts Yavin IV to talk with Cassian, Draven realizes that the evidence for the Imperial weapons project is too great to be a trap. After meeting with Draven and Mothma, Organa agrees to let Cassian and K-2SO fly to Kafrene to meet with the informant.[b] On Mina-Rau, B2EMO plays with another droid, as Bix cradles a baby and looks wistfully toward the horizon.

## Production

[edit]

### Development

[edit]

Tony Gilroy joined the series after working on the Star Wars film Rogue One, and took over development after sharing his vision with the studio.

Disney CEO Bob Iger announced in November 2017 that Disney and Lucasfilm were developing live-action Star Wars television series for the new streaming service Disney+.[24][25] One of these series was revealed a year later to be a prequel to the film Rogue One (2016). The series was described as a spy thriller show focused on the character Cassian Andor, with Diego Luna reprising his role from the film. Production was expected to begin in 2019 after Luna completed filming the second season of Narcos: Mexico (2020).[26] Jared Bush originally developed the series, writing a pilot script and series bible for the project.[27]

By the end of November 2018, Stephen Schiff was serving as showrunner and executive producer of the series, whose working title was Pilgrim.[27] Tony Gilroy, who was credited as a co-writer on Rogue One and oversaw extensive reshoots for the film,[28] joined the series by early 2019 when he discussed the first story details with Luna.[4] Gilroy, having received an earlier version of the script, compared Andor's relationship with K-2SO to that of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and felt it was "totally limited and claustrophobic". As such, he had sent a letter to Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy explaining his vision for the series. By the next year, Kennedy had contacted Gilroy to ask if he was interested in joining the series.[29] In July 2019, Rick Famuyiwa was in early talks to direct several episodes after doing the same for The Mandalorian (2019–2023), the first live-action Star Wars series.[30] Gilroy's involvement was revealed that October, when he was set to write the first episode, direct multiple episodes and work alongside Schiff;[28] Gilroy had officially replaced Schiff as showrunner by April 2020.[31] Six weeks of pre-production for the series had taken place in the United Kingdom by then, but this was halted and production on the series delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[32][33] Pre-production had begun again by September ahead of a planned filming start the next month. At that time, Gilroy, who is based in New York, chose not to travel to the UK for production on the series due to the pandemic, and was therefore unable to direct the series' first episode. Instead, the UK-based Toby Haynes, who was already "high on the list" of potential directors for the series, was hired to direct the first three episodes. Gilroy would remain executive producer and showrunner.[34] Kennedy announced the series' title, Andor, in December 2020, along with its 2022 release date. Luna was revealed to be an executive producer on the series, which was set to consist of 12 episodes.[35][36] In February 2021, Ben Caron and Susanna White were set as additional directors.[37][38] Sanne Wohlenberg and Michelle Rejwan also executive produce.[37]

In February 2022, star Stellan Skarsgård indicated that the series would have a second season, with filming for it beginning in late 2022.[39] That April, cinematographer Adriano Goldman said there had originally been plans for the series to last five seasons, but he believed those had changed and that it was now expected to last three.[40] At Star Wars Celebration a month later, Lucasfilm confirmed a 12-episode second season.[41] Gilroy explained that the original five-season plan was deemed to be "physically impossible" due to the series' scale, and instead they realized that they could end the series with one more season that led directly into the events of Rogue One.[41][42][43]

### Writing

[edit]

In addition to Gilroy and Schiff, writers for the series include Beau Willimon and Gilroy's brother Dan.[31][44] Gilroy urged his writing team to put aside their personal reverence and nostalgia for Star Wars, fearing that such an attitude could change their behavior and work.[45] Gilroy wanted the series to be accessible to all viewers, not just Star Wars fans, with the hope that those fans would be able to watch the series with their friends and family who are not interested in the rest of the franchise.[5] He had also wanted to ensure the series was grounded in reality and had identified the main "navigational Star Wars piece of information" as being the calendar. During the first writers' room meeting, Gilroy had prepared a 100-page outline for the series, as he had already planned the structure of the series. Willimon and Dan Gilroy were present, in addition to executive producer Sanne Wohlenberg and production designer Luke Hull, calling Hull his "primary creative collaborator on the story". They had discussed the story for five days.[29] Luna expressed his excitement at being able to explore the character of Andor further in the series after making Rogue One, in which he originated the character.[36]

Since Andor is a prequel to the film, Luna said it was "nice to go into a story [of which] you already know the ending. Now you can [flesh out] the nuances and the layers. I think it's fun to do something that isn't just about getting to the end. It's about delaying that."[46] Luna was able to suggest elements of the character's backstory that he had thought of during the filming of Rogue One,[5] and was grateful that Gilroy made the character a refugee.[4] He explained, "It's the journey of a migrant, which to me is everything I come from. That feeling of having to move is behind this story very profoundly".[5] Luna felt that because of this, it was "difficult to find out where he comes from", and felt that Andor wanted to "find the opportunities, the freedom, the chances they don't find where they're born".[47] He had also felt that Andor's character was important to members of the Hispanic and Latin American community, and wanted the "energy" of Mexico–United States relations to be represented in Andor's journey.[48] Gilroy wanted to expand upon Andor's backstory, and had used a dialogue said by him in Rogue One, "I've been in this fight since I was six years old!", as a starting point. In the development process, Gilroy had labelled it "The Education of Cassian Andor". From there, he had created the planet Kenari as his childhood home, where he had lived with other children and no adult supervision. Gilroy had compared it to being a "Lord of the Flies (1954)-like tribe", with Andor's separation from the tribe also serving as an introduction to Maarva and Clem Andor, desiring to introduce the audience to the Ferrix culture early on as the writing team had spent time creating its social structure. Towards the beginning, he had described Maarva as loving Andor "as much as she could possibly love him", though in the beginning of the series, she had been disappointed by the direction of Andor's life. As the series had progressed, Gilroy wanted to develop the emotional connection between them.[49]

The first season begins five years before Rogue One and tells one year of Andor's story when he first becomes a revolutionary. The next four years are then covered by the second season, which leads directly into the events of the film.[43][5] Gilroy approached the two seasons as two-halves of a novel and described the show beginning as "a very simple, almost film noir situation for a thief [Andor]. A skeevy kind of guy gets in big trouble, tries to sell something he has to save his ass".[5] Luna said the series was about the building of a revolution,[36] and said it was important to explore "the revolutionary we can become to change things, to stop war, to make this world a livable place" which he felt was relevant to real-world issues.[5] Gilroy stated, "This guy gave his life for the galaxy, right? I mean, he consciously, soberly, without vanity or recognition, sacrificed himself. Who does that?" He wanted to explore that idea in the first season, beginning with Andor "being really revolution-averse, and cynical, and lost, and kind of a mess". The season shows the destruction of Andor's homeworld when he was a boy and is then based on Andor's adopted planet, which becomes radicalized against the Empire.[4]

Luna and Gilroy said the series was also about "how the disenfranchised can stand up to effect change".[47] Gilroy had not intentionally written the show to create political commentary and rejected the notion of being influenced by contemporary events, but said that it had come "instinctively", as his primary priority was characterization and serving the story. The writing team had used history as a "catalog" for the story with Gilroy further explaining that people can interpret the characters however they wish, but the main intention was for the audience to connect to them.[50] Co-star Fiona Shaw described Gilroy's political commentary in the scripts as a "great, scurrilous [take] on the Trumpian world", adding that "our world is exploding in different places right now, people's rights are disappearing, and Andor reflects that. [In the show] the Empire is taking over, and it feels like the same thing is happening in reality, too".[51] Meanwhile, Gough has stated that her character arc in the series deals with gender politics, while Gilroy explained that "We have a very, very, very deep dive into the Imperial side of the story".[10] Gilroy had written Gough's character, Meero, with the intention of making her relatable to the audience as she had been putting genuine effort into doing her job and "fighting her way up in a male environment".[49] After starting with Andor's story in the first three episodes, the fourth begins to expand the scope of the series to include the rest of its large ensemble cast, such as Rebel leader Mon Mothma, whose path will cross with Andor's in the second season. Gilroy felt Star Wars fans would see Mothma in a new light after watching the series, and added that there were key characters and events in the series that would be different or "more interesting" than fans previously realized: "What you've been told, what's on Wookieepedia... is really all wrong".[5]

Tony Gilroy, Dan Gilroy and Beau Willimon returned to write for the second season, and were joined by Tom Bissell.[52][44] The final three episodes of the second season cover the three days prior to the start of Rogue One, with Gilroy saying "it'll be, like, four or five days, and then we'll jump a year, and then there'll be another four or five days, and then we jump a year", with the final shot leading into Rogue One.[53][29] While developing the season, Gilroy briefly considered to include Palpatine, but ultimately felt he was "too heavy to lift" into the plot. Likewise, Gilroy never considered including Darth Vader in the story as he feels that writing the character is "really limiting".[54] For K-2SO's introduction in the season, Dan Gilroy originally wrote an entirely self-contained story for the season's ninth episode that played like a horror film, with a KX unit hunting over a huge tanker ship in Yavin with K-2SO involved in the scenario, but budget issues meant the show's crew couldn't afford its production and consolidated things instead, so they opted to move up Mon Mothma's Senate speech one episode, as it had been originally slated to occur in the tenth episode.[55] Genevieve O'Reilly provided Tony Gilroy with input when writing Mothma's speech denouncing the Empire's role in the Ghorman Massacre in the ninth episode of the second season. While Gilroy had initially only written sections of the monologue which were to be spliced into a bigger montage, O'Reilly convinced him to write an entire speech. According to O'Reilly, filming for the scene occurred in May 2023.[56] Gilroy expressed that after gaining confidence in Dulau's acting abilities from director feedback during the production of the first season, he did not want to leave the relationship between Kleya and Luthen ambiguous or explained by other creators, leading to the creation of the flashback scenes in "Make It Stop",[57] depicting their relationship, which was inspired by the road movie Paper Moon (1973).[58]

### Design

[edit]

Luke Hull served as production designer on the series,[59] and described it as "very cinematic".[36] Neal Scanlan provided the creature and droid effects after doing the same for all of Disney's Star Wars films, including Rogue One.[60] He said his team was treating the series the same as they did the films,[36] and due to Gilroy's involvement the series would fit within the same "pocket of [Star Wars] history" as Rogue One with a "slightly harder edge" than other Star Wars projects.[60] Scanlan added that unused creatures developed for the films could be brought back for the series,[61] alongside newly created creatures.[36] An outdoor city set, which co-star Adria Arjona estimated to be three to five city blocks long, was built practically for the series.[62]

### Casting

[edit]

Diego Luna was confirmed to be reprising his role as Cassian Andor from Rogue One with the series' announcement in November 2018.[26] In April 2019, Alan Tudyk was announced as also reprising his Rogue One role of K-2SO.[63] A year later, Stellan Skarsgård, Kyle Soller, Genevieve O'Reilly, and Denise Gough joined the cast. O'Reilly reprised her role of Mon Mothma from Rogue One and other Star Wars media.[64][31] Adria Arjona joined the cast in August 2020,[65] and Fiona Shaw was revealed to also be appearing in December,[35] when Tudyk was not included in an official cast list. A month later, Tudyk confirmed that he would no longer be appearing in the first season due to Gilroy's story changes but he could appear in potential future seasons; he ultimately appeared in season 2.[66] Robert Emms was cast in a supporting role in June 2021,[19] when Skarsgård revealed that Forest Whitaker was reprising his role as Saw Gerrera from Rogue One.[18] In February 2022, David Hayman confirmed that he had a role in the series after being spotted by fans during filming.[21] The first season has over 200 named cast members and over 6,000 extras.[36]

Luna, Skarsgård, O'Reilly, Soller, Arjona, Gough, Marsay, Sethu, Elizabeth Dulau, Whitaker, Emms, Anton Lesser, and Muhannad Bhaier reprise their roles in the second season, among others.[52] In March 2023, set footage revealed that Benjamin Bratt had been cast for the second season in an undisclosed role, later revealed to be Bail Organa, replacing Jimmy Smits in the role.[67][68] In June 2024, Ben Mendelsohn was revealed to be reprising his role as Orson Krennic from Rogue One in the second season.[11] Tudyk appears in the second season.[13]

### Filming

[edit]

Barbican Arts Centre, used for Coruscant

Cleveleys, used for the resort planet Niamos

Filming began in London, England, at the end of November 2020,[46][69] with the production based at Pinewood Studios.[70][71] The series was filmed under the working title Pilgrim,[70] and was the first live-action Star Wars series to not make use of the StageCraft digital background technology. This was done because the scripts were more suited to being filmed on locations and large sets, and Luna noted that taking a different filming approach for the series made it similar to Rogue One, whose filming style was distinct from other Star Wars films.[72] Toby Haynes directed the first three episodes,[34] with Benjamin Caron, Susanna White, and Haynes each directing another "block" of three episodes.[7][38] Jonathan Freeman and Adriano Goldman served as cinematographers.[40][73] The series was previously reported to begin filming in 2019,[26] and then June 2020,[73] but was delayed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[33] Both UK and U.S. COVID-19 protocols were followed on set, including daily temperature checks and tests for COVID-19 three times a week.[71] Filming at Pinewood Studios was expected to end in July 2021.[71]

Winspit quarry, used for Saw Gerrera's base in the first season

By late January 2021, a large village set had been built on the grounds of a former quarry in Little Marlow, Buckinghamshire, not far from Pinewood Studios, with filming expected to last there until April.[74] Filming in April also took place at the Coryton Refinery in Corringham, Essex,[75] and in East London at Canary Wharf[76] where the plaza under the bridge to the Elizabeth line station served as the entrance to the Imperial Security Bureau on Coruscant. Canary Wharf had also been a filming location for Rogue One. The concrete walkways of the Barbican Centre were used to represent buildings on Coruscant. Several days of filming occurred in Cleveleys on the Fylde Coast of Lancashire in early May, with the town's promenade and beach area dressed as an alien location, later revealed to be the resort planet of Niamos[70] followed by another several days filming in the disused Winspit quarry in Dorset.[77][78] Second unit and location filming began for at least a week at the end of May in Black Park, a country park in Buckinghamshire near Pinewood Studios which was also used for filming Disney's Star Wars films.[79][80] By the end of May, main production on Pilgrim had moved to Glen Tilt in Perthshire, Scotland, and was expected to continue there until late June.[81][82] Around 500 crewmembers traveled to Oban, Scotland, for filming at the nearby Cruachan Dam. This started by June 18, with sets built around the dam and filming also happening in its tunnels.[21][83] From June 22 to 24, filming took place at Middle Peak Quarry near Wirksworth, Derbyshire.[84][85] Production was expected to wrap in mid-2021,[19] and Luna confirmed that it had finished by September 27.[86]

The City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, used for the Senate exterior in the second season

The second season began filming on November 21, 2022,[87] and was expected to last until August 2023,[88][89] with Gilroy anticipating a year for post-production as with the first season.[88] Episodes were once again filmed in "blocks" of three episodes at a time, with each block moving the story a year closer to the events of Rogue One.[7] Gilroy stated he would not direct in the second season because of his commitments as showrunner.[45] Ariel Kleiman, Janus Metz, and Alonso Ruizpalacios directed episodes of the second season, with Kleiman directing six episodes.[90] In March 2023 Season 2 was revealed to be filming in Xàtiva and Valencia with director Metz among the cast and crew including actor Benjamin Bratt indicating he had joined the series.[67][68] In April 2023, filming was suspended in Winspit Quarry, near Worth Matravers in Dorset due to landslip concerns.[91] The next month filming was suspended again due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike.[92] By that June, production had been approximately halfway completed.[29] In June 2023, filming took place at Hever Castle in Kent.[93] In July 2023, filming was cut short for the duration of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, with plans to resume production after both strikes concluded.[94] Filming resumed in early January 2024[95] and wrapped on February 9, 2024.[96]

## Music

[edit]

Main article: Andor (soundtrack)

Gilroy contacted Nicholas Britell about composing for the series in 2020, before filming began so he could compose source music that would be played on set. Gilroy and Britell, who are neighbors in Manhattan, first met for the project in August 2020. Kennedy and Gilroy wanted the series to have a unique sound, and Britell said it would be "orchestral-plus" with a "wide range of sounds" including some that he had created. He added that the large scope of the series meant that "every episode has new demands, new music, and new ideas. It's important that as the story evolves, the music should evolve too."[97] Britell was publicly revealed to be the series' composer in February 2022,[98] and was still working on it that May when he said they had been "working nonstop for months, actually years, at this point". Recording was underway by then at AIR Lyndhurst studios in London, with a full orchestra. Britell was unable to travel to London due to the pandemic, but had a team in place there that also worked with him on other television series.[97]

For season two, Britell did not return to score due to scheduling conflicts. He was replaced by Brandon Roberts.[99] Britell did however write a limited amount of music for season two and is credited as the main composer of episodes four and five.

A sizzle reel featuring behind-the-scenes footage of pre-production and filming was released during Disney's Investors Day presentation in December 2020, when the series' title and cast was officially announced by Kennedy.[35][36] Gilroy, Luna, and O'Reilly promoted the series at Star Wars Celebration in May 2022, where they revealed the first teaser trailer.[43][41] The Hollywood Reporter's Aaron Couch said it showed the "gritty side" of the Star Wars universe.[100] Daniel Chin of The Ringer felt the series had a unique identity in the Star Wars franchise, with a darker tone, and said the teaser "paints a picture of the formative years of the rebellion against the Empire".[101] Ryan Scott from /Film felt the teaser gave the "most comprehensive view at the show up to this point". He said the series could explore the morality behind the Rebels, writing that while they are usually seen as heroes there is also "much gray area in there to be explored".[102] Writing for CNET, Sean Keane felt the trailer did not give much away but gave an "intriguing taste of the show's espionage tone".[103]

Luna promoted the series and debuted the official trailer on Good Morning America on August 1.[104] Hattie Lindert from The A.V. Club highlighted the action scenes in the trailer, saying "In addition to the epic scale and darker tone, the series also promises intense fight scenes created with limited green screen use" and also noted Gilroy's experience with action films due to his work on the Jason Bourne films.[105] The Hollywood Reporter's James Hibberd enjoyed Andor's increased screen-time in the trailer compared to the teaser, and felt the series was a "welcome scenic change from the company's previous Star Wars shows".[106] At CNN, Scottie Andrew felt it "reveals a bit more about Andor's evolution from common thief to galactic martyr".[107] Luna and Kennedy promoted the series at the 2022 D23 Expo,[108] with CNET's Keane writing "The trailer paints a pretty grim setup for revolutionary fighter Cassian Andor and his pals, as fighting the Empire and row upon row of Stormtroopers looks like a one-way ticket to death".[109] Meanwhile, Collider's Rachel Leishman felt the trailer "gives us a bit more of a look at where the rebellion is and who is fighting back against the Empire" and was excited for the portrayal of the Empire in the series, writing "Seeing these little missions and the feelings that the rebels have towards the Empire feels so perfectly align with what we know about Cassian that this trailer really just has us excited for what is to come with the series".[110]

Footage from the second season was shown at Star Wars Celebration London in April 2023.[89] A trailer for the second season was shown at the 2024 D23 Expo.[13] The official teaser trailer for the second season was released on February 24, 2025.[111]

## Release

[edit]

### Streaming

[edit]

Andor premiered on Disney+ on September 21, 2022, with the first three episodes being released. The rest of the 12-episode first season was released weekly,[104] until November 23, 2022.[112] The series previously was expected to debut in 2021,[113] before production was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.[33] It was originally set to premiere on August 31 with two episodes.[41] In November 2022, Disney announced that the first two episodes of the first season would air on ABC on November 23, on FX on November 24, and Freeform on November 25, and be available on Hulu from November 23 through December 7.[114] A similar move was to be also replicated across various countries in Europe, including Portugal, Spain, Poland and the Netherlands, with the first two episodes airing on Fox, on November 24 or 25, depending on the country.[115]

The second season, also consisting of 12 episodes, was expected to be released in August 2024,[41][89] but because of delays in production due to the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes,[116] it premiered on April 22, 2025,[117] with three episodes released weekly until May 13.[118]

### Home media

[edit]

The first season of Andor was released on Ultra HD Blu-ray and Blu-ray by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment on April 30, 2024, with SteelBook packaging, concept art cards, and bonus features, including featurettes.[119]

Andor: Season 1 had 59% of its sales come from the 4K Ultra HD version, which helped it secure the No. 1 spot on the 4K chart. It also ranked No. 3 on the Blu-ray chart for the week ending May 4, 2024.[120]

## Reception

[edit]

### Viewership

[edit]

#### Season 1

[edit]

Whip Media's TV Time, which tracks viewership data for the more than 25 million worldwide users, reported that Andor was the second most-anticipated new television series for September 2022.[121] It was the third most-streamed original series in the U.S. for the week of October 16. It subsequently became the top original series every week from October 23 though November 27.[122][123][124][125][126][127][128] JustWatch, a guide to streaming content with access to data from more than 20 million users around the world, stated that Andor was the most-streamed series in the U.S. for the week of September 25. It remained in the top ten from November 7–20.[129][130][131] The streaming aggregator Reelgood, which tracks real-time data from 5 million U.S. users for original and acquired content across SVOD and AVOD services, announced that Andor was the most-watched program for the week of September 28.[132][133][134] It remained in the top ten from October 5 to November 11.[135][136][137][138][139]

Nielsen Media Research, which records streaming viewership on certain U.S. television screens, estimated that the series was watched for 356 million minutes from October 3–9.[140] It was subsequently watched for 418 million minutes from October 17–23, according to Nielsen.[141] Streaming analytics firm FlixPatrol, which monitors daily updated VOD charts and streaming ratings across the globe, reported that Andor was the ninth most-streamed series on Disney+ in 2022.[142] According to the file-sharing news website TorrentFreak, Andor was the tenth most-watched pirated television series of 2022.[143][144] Andor generated over $300 million in global streaming subscriber revenue for Disney+ from its debut in September 2022 through the end of 2024. It surpassed the performance of other Star Wars live-action series like The Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka.[145][146]

Andor experienced lower viewership compared to other Star Wars series. Time attributed this to factors such as "franchise fatigue," insufficient fan service, competition from other fantasy and sci-fi shows, and the "lackluster Obi-Wan Kenobi" miniseries.[147] MovieWeb noted that despite some initial reports suggesting lower demand, Andor still managed to perform well, with audience demand significantly higher than average streaming shows.[148] Parrot Analytics, which looks at consumer engagement in consumer research, streaming, downloads, and on social media, reported that Andor's audience demand was 34.1 times higher than that of the average TV show, with The Mandalorian close behind at 34 times the average demand, from October 15–21, 2022.[149][150] Parrot Analytics later announced that Andor was the most in-demand United States breakout television series, referring to shows that have premiered in the past 100 days, from November 12–18, 2022. It had 37.7 times the average demand of all other series in the United States.[151][152]

#### Season 2

[edit]

Parrot analytics revealed that Andor led Canadian demand among digital original series for the week of April 20–27, following the April 22 premiere of its second season on Disney+. The show achieved a demand average of 46.1 times the market average, placing it at No. 1 on the Top 10 Digital Originals chart in Canada. It also ranked No. 3 overall across all TV shows in the country (including linear, pay TV, SVOD, and AVOD), with a demand average of 46, behind The Last of Us and Saturday Night Live.[153] Whip Media announced that Andor was the top streaming original series in the U.S. for the week ending April 27, as well as for the week ending May 18.[154][155] Reelgood stated it was the second most-streamed series in the U.S. for the week ending April 30.[156] JustWatch reported that Andor was among the five most-streamed shows in the U.S. from April 28 to May 4, before moving to the top three between May 5–11. The series reached first place during the week of May 12–18.[157][158][159]

Analytics company Samba TV, which gathers viewership data from certain smart TVs and content providers, revealed that Andor attracted 1.2 million U.S. households who watched the first episode within the first six days. This figure matches the viewership for the premiere episode of Andor Season 1 over the same time span in September 2022.[160] Nielsen Media Research estimated that the series was watched for 721 million minutes in the U.S. from April 21–27.[161][162] Approximately 65% of Andor’s viewing total during the measured period was attributed to the first three new episodes, suggesting that some viewers were also revisiting Season 1. The series was also the most male-skewing title of the week, with 67% of its audience identifying as male.[163] During the week of April 28 to May 4, Andor recorded 821 million minutes of watch time, ranking as the sixth most-streamed program-[164][165] The following week, from May 5–11, the series garnered 830 million minutes of watch time, becoming the fifth most-streamed program.[166][167] From May 12–18, Andor accumulated 931 million minutes of watch time, making it the most-streamed program during that week.[168][169] Luminate, which gathers viewership data from certain smart TVs in the U.S., said that Andor Season 2 demonstrated strong viewership growth due to its unique release strategy—dropping three episodes per week over four weeks. This approach defied the typical audience drop-off seen in other Star Wars series such as Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew. While those series peaked in their second week, Andor built momentum steadily, culminating in its highest single-day viewership—171 million minutes—with the release of its final batch of episodes. Audience retention between episodes remained stable, with only a 20% drop from episode 3 to episode 4, compared to a 31% decline for Ahsoka. Season 1 had already shown long-term appeal, growing its total audience by 46% over a year, outperforming Ahsoka (20%) and The Mandalorian Season 3 (21%).[170]

### Critical response

[edit]

#### Season 1

[edit]

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 96% with an average rating of 8.55/10 based on 609 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "A gritty adventure told from the ground perspective of the Empire's reign, Andor is an exceptionally mature and political entry into the Star Wars mythos – and one of the best yet."[171] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 74 out of 100 based on 31 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[172]

Andor was considered one of the best TV series of 2022, and was praised for its differences from other Star Wars shows.[173] NPR's Mandalit del Barco summarized that Andor was "being hailed as the most complex, mature story in Star Wars lore".[174] In a four star review, Jack Seale of The Guardian called Andor "the best Star Wars show since The Mandalorian".[175] Caroline Framke of Variety was positive towards Andor's departure from other Star Wars projects with a "story of people who have nothing to do with Solos, Skywalkers or Palpatines, but whose lives matter nonetheless".[176] Similarly, Nicholas Quah of the Vulture called the show "a breath of fresh air" and praised the "utter confidence of its storytelling", "richness of its political ideas", score, production design and dialogue.[177]

Simon Cardy of IGN praised the characters and character development, calling it "one of the very best things ever to come out of the Star Wars universe" in a 9 out of 10 review.[178] The characterizations were criticized by Mike Hale of The New York Times, who considered them thin and unfulfilling.[179]

#### Season 2

[edit]

Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 97% with an average rating of 8.95/10 based on 188 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "Investing startling conviction and gravity into the Star Wars sandbox, Andor's superb second season lights a fire of rebellion that heats up the screen."[180] Metacritic assigned a score of 92 out of 100 based on 32 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[181]

Writing for Collider, Maggie Lovett wrote that "the only flaw in the entire series is the fact that it's over now. Luckily, it is an end worthy of one of the most impactful characters Star Wars has ever created, with this grand finale a triumph for both Gilroy and Luna."[182] Writing for Vulture, Nicholas Quah wrote that "[Andor's] second season doesn't just cement the show's standing as the best Star Wars project ever made. Andor reorients that fantasy in the service of something greater than itself. Andor is a miracle, and we'd be so lucky if we see something like it ever again."[183]

In a review for Empire, Sophie Butcher wrote the second season was "beautifully made, cleverly structured and genuinely moving", and "solidifies Tony Gilroy's spin-off as one of the greats. This is Star Wars — and small-screen storytelling in general — at its best."[184] Writing for the World Socialist Website, Jane Wise praised the series for its portray of the "ravages of imperialist violence and encroachment." She also wrote that "the scenes and characters in Andor are not allegorical, they speak to contemporary conditions and processes."[185]

### Accolades

[edit]

Andor was critically acclaimed and consistently ranked first in the top ten on numerous publications' "Best of 2022" lists for television series, including that of IGN, Polygon, USA Today, Vulture, and Empire, among others.[173][186] Numerous publications also considered Andor the best Star Wars TV show,[187][188][189] and one of the greatest Star Wars productions ever made.[190][191][192][193] The first season was nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards including Outstanding Drama Series. The second season was nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards including Outstanding Drama Series.
