By The second season of “Andor” has been selected as the cover for the upcoming 2025 preview edition of Empire film magazine and with that has come two photos and new details.
As we know, the new season will span the remaining four years leading up to “Rogue One” with Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor “fully committed to the Rebellion” the actor tells the magazine.
Because of the more compressed timeline, the new season will visit a lot more destinations than the first. Luna says: “We move in space more than ever – the amount of planets and sets you’re going to get to see.”
That includes some locations that “Star Wars” fans are quite familiar with, most notably the rebel base on Yavin IV. Showrunner Tony Gilroy says:
“I mean, we have to end up in Yavin, right? So, we’ll tell the story of Yavin. No-one has quite dealt with Yavin the way we will be doing it.”
The new season will also see the reprogrammed Imperial droid K-2SO get an origin tale. Luna says:
“From an audience perspective, they’ve probably made their own story about how Cassian and K-2 got to work together. It tells you a lot about Cassian that his best friend is a droid. And a droid he had to reprogram. But how did that actually happen and who was he before? Those questions are going to be answered.”
The new season also sees the return of Ben Mendelsohn’s “Rogue One” character Director Krennic who’ll be butting heads with Denise Gough’s ambitious Dedra Meero. Mendelsohn says:
“If they didn’t see eye to eye, to me, it’s cute. Dedra versus Krennic? I think it’s a bit of a mismatch. They’re all underlings to Krennic. They’re all going in one direction. The Empire, if you speak your mind, there are differences of opinion.”
Finally, asked if we’ll see the return of Grand Moff Tarkin, Mendelsohn wryly says: “You know I can’t answer that, and I delight in not being able to answer your question. It’s a beautiful thing.”
“Andor” Season 2 launches on Disney+ on April 22nd.
