In 2022, Disney Plus, hot on the heels of the wildly successful and new show The Mandalorian, released Andor, a prequel and backstory of Cassian Andor from 2016's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Starring Diego Luna as main character Cassian, the show revealed to audiences who he was before his involvement with the Resistance against The Empire.

With season 2 premiering in just a few months on April 22, 2025, we wanted to take a look at five reasons why we are incredibly excited to see the show returning. We have so many questions and there is so much anticipation. In no particular order, let's take a look!

Perhaps not the first thing many would think of when it comes to the gravity of Andor but...

The Disney+ series "Andor" has finished the first of its two seasons, giving us the backstory of Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), the rebel pilot who helps steal the Death Star plans in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story." In the 2016 film, Cassian says he's been in the fight since he was six years old, though we didn't get a lot of his backstory until now, when early episodes of the series take us to his home planet of Kenari, a lush green place that has been destroyed by an Imperial mining operation. 

A mining disaster leaves the children alone to fend for themselves. And though the series gives us no subtitles, we get the gist of what's going on in the flashback scenes. The children are clustered together, planning to scavenge an Imperial ship that has gone down. It's clear that there are no adults there to help out, and...

"Andor" might be a movie spinoff focused on a familiar character, but in terms of the overall "Star Wars" canon it's right out on the fringes. The first Disney+ series set in that galaxy far far away, "The Mandalorian," started out on relatively fresh and original turf, but by season 2 it had been dragged into the vortex of legacy characters. Boba Fett showed up ahead of his own Disney+ series, and even Luke Skywalker himself joined the story (via a body double for young Mark Hamill and some VFX trickery) to whisk Grogu away to space wizard school.

Many "Star Wars" fans are delighted to see so many returning characters, from Max Rebo to Ahsoka Tano, but there is such a thing as too much fan service. When Lucasfilm did step away from the Skywalkers with a bold gamble of a spinoff movie -- one that introduced a cast of almost entirely new characters,...

Star Wars has a thing for Killing Eve as Andor star Fiona Shaw is now the third key figure from the BBC America series to join a galaxy far, far away. Following in the footsteps of Killing Eve creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Solo: A Star Wars Story) and star Jodie Comer (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker), Shaw plays Cassian Andor’s (Diego Luna) adoptive mother, Maarva, who first encountered young “Kassa” (Antonio Viña) inside the wreckage of a ship on his homeworld of Kenari.

For Shaw, the answer for why Maarva assumes responsibility for this Kenari child has to do with the fact that Cassian’s fellow Kenari people had just killed a Republic officer.

“He would’ve definitely died if she hadn’t taken him home. She saw him and thought, ‘This is a spectacular kid.’ So she brings him up as her own,...

This Star Wars: Andor article contains spoilers.

In the first three episodes of Star Wars: Andor, we get a glimpse at Cassian’s (Diego Luna) life as a child on the Mid-Rim planet Kenari and how he came to know Maarva (Fiona Shaw), a mother-figure in his life whom he lives with on Ferrix. Through flashbacks we see that they met in the wreckage of a ship that crashed on Kenari when Cassian, or Kassa (Antonio Viña) as he’s known by his people, was a young boy.

Kassa goes with his friends to investigate the crash, but after one of them dies at the hands of an injured officer, he stays behind. Kassa explores the ship, growing more angry as he goes on. He eventually stops in the bridge to take out his anger on the control panels, doing his best to smash the consoles to pieces. Maarva, her...

With the third episode, Andor prepares to take audiences in a new direction next week, while delivering one of the most breathtaking and nail-biting fight sequences and employing rich development for each of its main players. But before returning us to Ferrix where tensions are building, Tony Gilroy instead presents five minutes of near-silence on Kenari as a young Kassa (Antonio Viña) explores the crash site.

The second episode of Andor begins a short time after the final moments of the premiere, as a young Kassa (Antonio Viña) sets out with his Kenari peers to locate the crash site. Along the way, they pass a massive abandoned mining site, which completely dwarfs Kassa in size and scope—alluding to, perhaps, whatever befell the adults of Kenari. The flashback gives way to nightfall on Ferrix, which sees Cassian (Diego Luna) stealthily make his way through the backstreets of the town, while the rest of the cast of characters clocks out of work and closes up shop.
