Ahead of Andor's fourth episode arriving on Disney+ tomorrow, Lucasfilm has released an additional three character posters for the latest Star Wars TV series. This time, the critically acclaimed Rogue One prequel is putting the spotlight on Bix Caleen (Adria Arjona), Syril Karn (Kyle Soller), and Maarva Andor (Fiona Shaw).
All three characters look set to be pivotal to the story that's unfolding, with Bix an obvious love interest for Cassian and Syril someone who will almost certainly one day join the Empire in a bid to take revenge on the Rebel after his recent defeat. We hope the series isn't quite that predictable, but that does seem like a likely destination for these characters.
As for Maarva, her story may be most interesting in the past as we learn more about her taking the young Cassian under her wing and seemingly raising him as her own.
The reaction to Andor has been extremely positive so far, and we're sure the best is still to come. There are still nine episodes left in this first season, with the second batch of episodes likely arriving in 2024. It feels like a very different kind of Star Wars story, though that's far from a bad thing at this stage.
Andor, a spy thriller from Lucasfilm filmed over two 12-episode seasons, takes place five years before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The era is filled with danger, deception and intrigue where Cassian will embark on the path that is destined to turn him into a rebel hero.
The show presents Star Wars from a different perspective, focusing on everyday people whose lives are affected by the Empire. The decisions they make have real consequences, and the stakes for them - and the Galaxy - couldn’t be higher.
Diego Luna returns as Cassian Andor and is joined by cast members Genevieve O’Reilly, Stellan Skarsgård, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller and Fiona Shaw. The executive producers are Kathleen Kennedy, Tony Gilroy, Sanne Wohlenberg, Diego Luna and Michelle Rejwan. Tony Gilroy is also the creator and showrunner.
The first three episodes of Andor are now streaming on Disney+, while the fourth arrives this Wednesday, September 28. Check out these new character posters (via SFFGazette.com) below:
