DIsney + has released a new TV commercial for the next one Thief One prequel Star Wars series Andor. I was actually more impressed than I thought with the first trailer that was released. I don’t really care about this character, but if this series can really make me interested in this character … then the creators of the series win the game!
The promo features some new footage highlighting the Rebellion’s early beginnings, as more and more people are starting to see that something is seriously wrong with the Empire.
The series is the protagonist Diego Luna as Cassian Andor and the story is set five years before the events of Thief One, and keeps track of how and why Cassian joined the rebellion as the Empire aggressively expanded its reach across the galaxy. The series is described as a “refugee story” that sees people trying to escape from a full-fledged empire. Luna previously shared: “It’s a migrant’s journey. That feeling of having to move is behind this story, very deep and very strong. This shapes you as a person. It defines you in many ways and in what you are willing to do. “
Forest Whitaker resumes his performance from Thief One as Saw Gerrera, a Clone Wars veteran and radical rebel, and O’Reilly will return as Mon Mothma, one of the founders of the Rebel Alliance.
Tony Gilroywho co-wrote the Thief One screenplay and was the uncredited director of the filming of the film, created the 12-episode series and described it as “a narrative that spans a vast ensemble,” which includes Stellan Skarsgard (Thor), Adria Arjona (Morbio), Fiona Shaw (Kill Eve), Denise Gough (Under the banner of the sky) And Kyle Soller (Poldark). Then, there is Forest Whitaker who will reprise the role of Saw Gerrera, Genevieve O’Reilly such as Mon Mothma, e Ben Mendelsohnwho is reportedly returning as Imperial Director Orson Krennic.
Directors include Toby Haynes (Black mirror: USS Callister), Benjamin Caron (The crown) And Susanna Bianca (Desolate house).
The first part of the series will be released on Disney + on August 31, with a two-episode launch. Part two of the series, which will lead up to the events of Thief Onewill start production this fall.
