SWC '23: First Look At ANDOR Season 2 Teases Cassian's New Mission; Tony Gilroy Reveals When Show Returns

Andor was among the upcoming Star Wars projects hyped at Celebration this weekend and we now have details about Cassian Andor's new mission and when season 2 is currently set to arrive on Disney+...

Like many of you, we weren't necessarily champing at the bit for Andor when it was first announced. Sure, more Diego Luna is never a bad thing, but did we really need to follow his journey to becoming a Rebel when his final moments were already chronicled in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

As it turns out, the Disney+ series ended up making for compelling viewing and only got better with each new episode. By the time we visited Narkina 5, Andor had established itself as one of the greatest Star Wars TV shows ever made and we know many of you are eager for the second (and final) season. 

Unfortunately, the wait for that will be a long one, but showrunner Tony Gilroy offered a pretty solid idea of when we can expect to see Andor back on Disney+ during Lucasfilm's Studio Showcase panel at Star Wars Celebration yesterday. 

"We started shooting in November," he told fans. "We're about halfway. We're gonna shoot through August. We're on [an] exact schedule. [We'll] finish in August, spend another year on post. I suppose we'll come out the following August."

During a later panel looking back at making the first season, Gilroy confirmed that, "[Cassian Andor is] a committed member now [of the Rebellion. That internal debate is over." He'd go on to reiterate past comments that season 2 will end where Rogue One began with the hero embarking on his final mission. 

A teaser trailer was also shown and, while it won't be released online, we took notes and can recap it for you.

Beginning by showing a number of returning characters, Syril looks a lot happier and quite a bit more powerful than when we last saw him. It appears saving Deedra has helped improve his lot in life, and while we're sure he still hopes to enact his vengeance on Cassian, the Rebel is busy reuniting with Bix after their emotional farewell in the season 1 finale. 

We also see Mon Mothma say, "If we do not stand together, we will be crushed," hinting at a larger role for her in the Rebellion. After lots more snapshots of Andor's cast, including a fiery battle with Stormtroopers, the intensity increases and we finish with a Cassic looking very much like James Bond, presumably because he's on, well, a secret mission! 

Needless to say, next August can't get here soon enough.

Andor season 1 is the only thing good to come from "modern" Star Wars. It was simply amazing. Please please please don't mess it up.

@stealthboy - ironically, he understands Star Wars more than any other creative working within LFL.

Eagerly anticipating the return of Andor! By far the best Disney Star Wars content!

After Andor, Gilroy should be allocated all the time he needs to do the 2nd season justice. He's the very best creative involved with LFL and SW right now.

It would see a limited series produced and directed by Ryan Coogler. A show starring Saw Gerrera as the leader of a guerilla before the Rebellion.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as the young Gerrera.

@Repian - I think LaKeith Stanfield could be better at bringing the energy of a young Forest Whitaker.
