Thank god. With the destruction of the sets during the strike and all of the recent Filoni related announcements, I was genuinely concerned that this would be canceled. Andor and TLJ are the only good things to come out of Disney Star Wars, so I'm beyond glad that this'll get a proper ending. How it managed to slip the cracks and be so good is still mind-blowing to me. It makes no sense that the same studio made this and Ahsoka within a year of each other.

That doesn't exactly strike me as Filoni's style, though.

That's wonderful, we got one series that absolutely deserves it... and the other one... well...

What Gilroy said -

"I've been on Andor for five years now; we're finishing the second half. I've had a lot of fun over the years, but I don't know whether I've ever done anything as important as these 24 hours of storytelling that we're doing now."

Most anyone might say that about their work, yet based on the first season, I have high anticipation this will deliver. Andor is the SW I'm most looking forward to.
Also "24 hours of storytelling" (with S1) Does this confirm about another 12 episodes.

Empire Spotlight: Adria Arjona Is Hitting The Target

The Hit Man star talks meeting Richard Linklater, Season 2 of Andor, and making bold choices. Read more at Empire.

Adria Arjona:
“I think [creator] Tony Gilroy’s writing is so smart that wherever people think my character’s journey is going to go, it’s ten times more complex than what people imagine,”

Might go without saying, yet worth repeating^. I am curious where her character ends up?

[Slick]

I’m assuming each writer covering years 2-5.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

So are the 12 episodes covering multiple years?

They would have been better doing it in 3 seasons if so IMO.

lets go!

 

[Breogan]

"Whilst singing the praises of his experience working on Andor, Ruizpalacios paid tribute to the heavyweight actors he'd had chance to direct on the show, specifically naming “Stellan Skarsgård, Forest Whitaker, and Ben Mendelsohn” among them."

More Saw Guerrera (should see him spiral even further into his uneasy paranoia), and retroactively re-introducing Orson Krennic, always wished we had more of them in Rogue One.
Both characters, further developed under Gilroy's methodical story telling, should be fantastic.

Two seasons of Andor, that seamlessly tie into Rogue One, will easily be my favorite SW content / quasi-Trilogy. (after the OT)

 

[Kane52630]

The Andor/Rogue One/Star Wars 77 combo is probably gonna end up being my personal favorite Star Wars "trilogy".

2025 just can’t come soon enough! Can’t wait to do that marathon!

The BTS video looks fantastic as usual.

 

[Drizzle]

This is how I found out that Mendelsohn is back.

 

[Breogan]

There is a D23 Andor S2 teaser out there.
Looks incredible
While some Mando has been fun, most everything else Disney seems superfluous, regressive fluff.
This is where SW still lives and breathes for me.

Seeing this final chapter play out, connecting to R1, is still what I'm most looking forward to.

I mean it's what I anticipate, I wish it was a surprise, yet is there anyone who didn't pick up what is being telegraphed here.
