“Andor”, the Disney + series that works in and out of Star Wars

In 2021 Lucasfilm announced the arrival of its new spin-off series on Disney +, and one of those that attracted less attention at the time is what is becoming a huge success for Star Wars and the mouse company, is to try. to ‘Andor’, a title that came with a story that moves away from the style of the saga conceived by George Lucaswhich curiously seems to be the secret of his great achievement.

Since last September 21, ‘Andor’ premiered 4 episodes on Disney +, and each of them generated gigantic audience numbers, making this title a Lucasfilm’s biggest hit on the streaming service of the mouse company, surpassing highly anticipated spin-off titles at the time, such as “Obi Wan Kenobi”.

Unlike “The Mandalorian” and “Obi Wan Kenobi”, this one series starring Diego Lunapresents a storyline that works on its own, inside or outside the Star Wars universe, because it doesn’t focus on Jedi, Sith or the use of force, but instead focuses on Cassiano Andor and in the drama and sacrifices that peoples make in rising up in a revolutionary struggle against a foreign force.

The plot of this production could work perfectly in another franchise, as it is gripping, with touches of suspense, drama and action, so its strongest element, unlike other spin-offs, is not the famous characters or the settings. of Star Wars, if not the story of those who are part of it revolutionary struggle against the empirethe so-called “common people”, on which often a story does not focus.

‘Andor’ moves away from the Skywalker Saga

For this reason, ‘Andor’ is a pleasant surprise in the Star Wars cinematic universea title that will surely increase its number of viewers and its popularity within this Disney platform, a production that Lucasfilm should pay attention to, as it is proving that this franchise can still grow for a path different from that marked by the Skywalker saga.

‘Andor’ is a highly recommended production for those who love the wartime spy storieseven for those not a fan of Star Wars, which made this original production of the mouse company’s streaming service one of the best releases not only of 2022, but in the history of this platform.

We will have to wait to see what the future holds for the ‘Andor’ on Disney +At the moment, this title has been confirmed to have two seasons of 12 chapters on the streaming platform, and if it continues along the same path and with the same quality it has shown, it could have more seasons on this service.
