Overview

Five years before the Battle of Yavin, the galaxy is gripped by the tyrannical Galactic Empire — and one man is about to discover the difference he can make in the struggle against it. Andor follows Cassian Andor, the thief-turned-rebel first introduced in Rogue One, from his scrappy, self-interested beginnings on the industrial world of Ferrix to his transformation into a committed soldier of the Rebellion. Created by Tony Gilroy, this is Star Wars grown up: a slow-burn political thriller about how ordinary people are ground down by fascism — and how they fight back. Across two seasons, Cassian crosses paths with Luthen Rael, the shadowy spymaster building a rebellion in secret; Mon Mothma, the senator funding it from inside the halls of power; and Dedra Meero and Syril Karn, the Imperial officers hunting them. With its prison-break arc, heist episode and devastating speeches about sacrifice, Andor is widely regarded as the finest Star Wars storytelling ever put on screen — tense, intelligent and deeply human, with barely a lightsaber in sight.
