Season 2

The first season of the American television series Andor is part of the Star Wars franchise and a prequel to the film Rogue One (2016), which in turn is a direct prequel to the original Star Wars film (1977). The season begins five years before the events of those films and shows how a thief, Cassian Andor, is radicalized against the oppressive Galactic Empire. It also explores how the wider Rebel Alliance is formed and efforts by the Empire to stop this. The season was produced by Lucasfilm with Tony Gilroy serving as showrunner.

Diego Luna stars as the title character, reprising his role from Rogue One. Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Stellan Skarsgård, Fiona Shaw, Genevieve O'Reilly, and Denise Gough also star. The series was announced in November 2018, with Luna attached. By April 2020, Rogue One co-writer Gilroy was set as creator and showrunner. Filming began at the end of November, with Gilroy unable to direct as planned due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming took place at Pinewood Studios in London and on location around the United Kingdom, and wrapped by the end of September 2021.

The season premiered on the streaming service Disney+ on September 21, 2022, with its first three episodes. The season's other nine episodes were released weekly until November 23. A second season was confirmed in May 2022.

11"Kassa"Toby HaynesTony GilroySeptember 21, 2022 (2022-09-21)
Five years before the Battle of Yavin, Cassian Andor searches for his sister in a brothel on the industrial planet Morlana One. He is antagonized by two Pre-Mor security officers, leading to an altercation in which Cassian accidentally kills one and then murders the other. Returning to his home on Ferrix, Cassian attempts to create a cover story with his adopted mother Maarva, her droid B2EMO, and his friend Brasso. He asks his friend Bix to connect him with a black market buyer, hoping to sell a Starpath Unit—a valuable piece of navigation technology—that he has stolen from the Galactic Empire. Because the security officers were not supposed to be in the brothel, Morlana One's chief inspector elects to cover-up the murders. However, his deputy Syril Karn is determined to solve the case and identifies Cassian's ship, tracing it to Ferrix and learning that the fugitive is from the planet Kenari. In flashbacks, a younger Cassian—known as Kassa—lives on Kenari with a group of orphaned children. He joins some of the older children to investigate a crashed ship, leaving his younger sister at their encampment.
22"That Would Be Me"Toby HaynesTony GilroySeptember 21, 2022 (2022-09-21)
Bix's boyfriend Timm, who is suspicious of her relationship with Cassian, learns that Pre-Mor Security is searching for a Kenari man on Ferrix; having learned that Cassian was born on Kenari from Bix, Timm reports Cassian. Karn partners with Sergeant Linus Mosk, another Pre-Mor officer who is determined to solve the murder case, to arrest Cassian. Other citizens on Ferrix also learn of the search, and rumors begin to spread about Kenari. The planet is considered toxic due to a mining disaster that killed all of the workers there. B2EMO warns Maarva of the search details and she berates Cassian for revealing his true homeworld rather than using the planet Fest as they agreed. Cassian asks Bix to help him flee Ferrix but she tells him that her buyer, Luthen Rael, is on his way to obtain the Starpath Unit. In flashbacks, Kassa and the other children find the crashed ship near an abandoned industrial strip-mining operation. When one of their own is killed by a crew member of the crashed ship, the children kill the attacker and quickly leave the site. Kassa decides to stay behind and explore the ship.
33"Reckoning"Toby HaynesTony GilroySeptember 21, 2022 (2022-09-21)
Luthen arrives on Ferrix and meets Cassian in an abandoned factory. Karn and Mosk also arrive with a dozen security officers. They confront Maarva but she refuses to cooperate. Intercepting a transmission from Cassian to B2EMO, Karn pinpoints Cassian's position. Cassian wants to sell the Starpath Unit and then go into hiding, but Luthen tries to persuade him to join his network of rebel cells due to Cassian's repeated success at stealing from and sabotaging Imperial ships. When Karn's officers raid the factory, the two men escape to a speeder hangar and subdue Karn. After learning of Timm's betrayal, Bix rushes to aid Cassian but is stopped and injured by the officers. Timm attempts to help her and is killed. The ship that the security officers arrived in is sabotaged and destroyed by Brasso, allowing Luthen and Cassian to escape the planet in Luthen's ship. In flashbacks, Maarva and her husband Clem scavenge the crashed ship on Kenari and find Kassa. Maarva decides to take him with them, fearing his fate if he is discovered there by the Galactic Republic—the precursor to the Empire.
44"Aldhani"Susanna WhiteDan GilroySeptember 28, 2022 (2022-09-28)
Luthen takes Cassian to the planet Aldhani where a small group of rebels are planning to steal the payroll of an Imperial sector from a local garrison. Cassian agrees to help them with their mission in exchange for payment, and takes on the pseudonym "Clem" to protect his identity. Vel, the leader of the group, is unhappy with the last-minute addition but reluctantly accepts Cassian's help. She introduces him to the rest of the group: Nemik, Skeen, Taramyn, and Vel's lover Cinta. On Coruscant, the galactic capital, Luthen poses as an antiques dealer and meets with Senator Mon Mothma who is secretly funding Luthen's attempts to form a united rebellion. They note that Mothma has been assigned a new driver who is likely spying on her for the Empire. Following the failed attempt to arrest Cassian, Pre-Mor Security is taken over by the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) and Karn is fired. He reluctantly goes to live with his mother, Eedy, on Coruscant. ISB lieutenant Dedra Meero believes the incident on Ferrix is part of a wider pattern of rebellion but is refused authority over the sector by her superior.
55"The Axe Forgets"Susanna WhiteDan GilroyOctober 5, 2022 (2022-10-05)
On Aldhani, Cassian hides his past from the rest of the group and is met with distrust from most of them, including Imperial officer Lieutenant Gorn who is secretly aiding them. While traveling to the Imperial garrison to begin the heist, Cassian reveals to the others that he is only helping them because he was hired to do so. This disappoints Nemik, who is a strong believer in the rebel cause and has written a manifesto setting out his beliefs. On Coruscant, Eedy expresses disdain for Syril's failings and demeanor and suggests he get help with future career prospects from his well-connected uncle. Mothma establishes a new charitable foundation as a cover for funding the rebellion while managing increasingly tense relations with her husband and daughter, who are unaware of her allegiance to the rebels. ISB supervisor Blevin takes control of Ferrix and establishes a new ISB headquarters in a local hotel. Meero continues her research, despite being ordered not to, and concludes that someone is coordinating a series of heists of Imperial weapons and technology, including the Ferrix incident.
66"The Eye"Susanna WhiteDan GilroyOctober 12, 2022 (2022-10-12)
Using the celestial event known as "The Eye of Aldhani"—when many meteors pass over the planet—as cover, the rebels pose as an escort squad for Commandant Jayhold Beehaz, Gorn's superior, and infiltrate the garrison. They take Beehaz's family as hostages and force him to open the payroll vault. While loading the credits onto a freighter, they are discovered by Imperial forces who kill Taramyn and Gorn. Cassian, Vel, Nemik, and Skeen escape with the payroll while Cinta is left behind to cover their tracks and make her own way off world. During takeoff, Nemik is crushed and severely injured by an unsecured load of credits. As Nemik receives treatment on the planet Frezno, Skeen proposes to Cassian that they flee and split the payroll between the two. An enraged Cassian kills Skeen and explains what happened to Vel, confirming his intention to take only the payment that he was promised and leave. Nemik dies from his injuries, and Vel gives his manifesto to Cassian in accordance with Nemik's dying wishes. On Coruscant, Luthen hears news of the successful theft and quietly celebrates.
77"Announcement"Benjamin CaronStephen SchiffOctober 19, 2022 (2022-10-19)
On Coruscant, Karn starts a new job at the Bureau of Standards. Colonel Wullf Yularen announces that the ISB has gained new surveillance powers and punitive authority in response to the Aldhani heist, and Meero uses this to access Ferrix data without asking Blevin. He challenges her on this, and she persuades her superiors of the potential coordinated rebel threat. Meero is assigned oversight of Ferrix. Luthen's assistant Kleya instructs Vel to find and kill Cassian because he knows Luthen's identity. Mothma asks Tay Kolma, an old friend, for help with her funding. Cassian returns to Ferrix and settles his debts. The presence of stormtroopers reminds Cassian of how his adoptive father, Clem, was executed by Imperial clone troopers during a protest on Rix Road. Maarva refuses to leave Ferrix with Cassian, wishing to oppose the Imperial presence there, and tells him to stop looking for his sister. Cassian travels to the tropical tourist planet Niamos and adopts the name "Keef Girgo". While out walking he is incorrectly accused of "anti-Imperial activity", arrested, and sentenced to six years of imprisonment.
88"Narkina 5"Toby HaynesBeau WillimonOctober 26, 2022 (2022-10-26)
Cassian is brought to a prison on Narkina 5. Surrounded by water, the prison is a labor camp where prisoners on each level work day or night shifts to construct machine parts as part of a competitive system to earn flavor in their food and avoid being punished through the electrified floors. Cassian's shift is overseen by floor manager Kino Loy, an experienced prisoner who encourages the others to follow the rules and focus on their work. Vel and Cinta travel to Ferrix to search for Cassian. When Maarva falls ill, Bix attempts to contact Luthen to ask where Cassian is, but Luthen does not answer out of concern for being exposed to anyone monitoring communications. He leaves Coruscant to meet with Saw Gerrera, the leader of a rebel cell. Luthen wants Gerrera to act as air support for a raid on an Imperial power station at Spellhaus organized by a different rebel leader, Anto Kreegyr, but Gerrera refuses to work with another group. Meero questions Karn, who has been filing requests for information on Cassian, and tells him to stay out of the investigation. She travels to Ferrix and apprehends Bix for questioning.
99"Nobody's Listening!"Toby HaynesBeau WillimonNovember 2, 2022 (2022-11-02)
Meero and Dr. Gorst, an Imperial scientist, torture Bix by forcing her to listen to the screams of dying children. They do not learn anything from her about Luthen, but determine that Cassian may have been involved in the Aldhani heist. The ISB capture a member of Kreegyr's rebel group and learn of the plan to raid the Spellhaus power station. Mothma reunites with Vel, who is her cousin, and encourages her to keep a low profile while maintaining the façade of a rich and politically uninvolved young woman. Mothma and Kolma continue working to covertly gather funds for rebel activities. An older member of Cassian's prison work crew named Ulaf is euthanized by a prison medic when he suffers a stroke and can no longer work effectively. The medic reveals to Cassian and Kino that a prisoner who had completed his sentence was accidentally sent to work on a different level instead of being released, and the prison guards killed all of the prisoners on that level in an attempt to cover up the mistake. Cassian and Kino realize that they will never be released, convincing Kino to help plan an escape.
1010"One Way Out"Toby HaynesBeau WillimonNovember 9, 2022 (2022-11-09)
Cassian and Kino reveal their escape plan to the rest of their shift. Cassian breaks a bathroom water pipe, flooding the work room and shorting out the electrified floor. When the guards enter with a new prisoner, replacing Ulaf, the prisoners overpower the guards and escape from the room. They begin freeing other floors of the prison while Cassian encourages Kino to speak to everyone using the prison's intercom system. Kino's speech helps motivate all of the prisoners to escape, but he chooses not to leave with them because he cannot swim. Cassian and another prisoner, Melshi, reach land together. Kolma organizes for Mothma to meet Davo Sculdun, a shady businessman who offers financial help in return for arranging a meeting between her daughter and his son, an initial step towards marriage in their Chandrilan culture. ISB supervisor and secret informant Lonni Jung meets with Luthen to tell him that the ISB is aware of Kreegyr's plan. Luthen chooses not to tell Kreegyr so as not to reveal that he has an ISB source and makes Lonni understand the need for sacrifice to defeat the Empire.
1111"Daughter of Ferrix"Benjamin CaronTony GilroyNovember 16, 2022 (2022-11-16)
Maarva dies and the citizens of Ferrix begin planning her funeral. Meero encourages this in the hopes that Cassian will attend. Karn learns about the funeral plans from Mosk and decides to attend himself. Luthen again visits Gerrera, who has decided at the last moment to assist Kreegyr's attack on Spellhaus. Luthen advises against this, revealing that the ISB knows about the impending assault and Kreegyr is being sacrificed to protect Luthen's ISB source. Gerrera is surprised, but agrees that this is an appropriate tactic during a time of war. While returning to Coruscant, Luthen is captured by an Imperial patrol but is able to escape their tractor beam and destroy several TIE fighters using his advanced ship. With help from some local fishermen who dislike what the prison has done to the Narkina 5 ecosystem, Cassian and Melshi escape from the planet and travel to Niamos. Cassian recovers his belongings, including Nemik's manifesto, and then attempts to contact Maarva. Learning of her death, Cassian parts ways with Melshi; the latter intends to publicly expose the Empire's unjust prison system.
1212"Rix Road"Benjamin CaronTony GilroyNovember 23, 2022 (2022-11-23)
Mothma accuses her husband of gambling away their money, knowing her driver will report this to the ISB. She then organizes a meeting between her daughter and Sculdun's son, securing the funding. The ISB stop Kreegyr's attack but leave no prisoners, angering Meero who wanted to question them about the wider rebellion. She plans to capture Cassian during Maarva's funeral while Luthen plans to kill him. At the funeral, B2EMO displays a recording of Maarva who rallies the citizens of Ferrix to fight the Empire. During the ensuing riot, Cassian rescues Bix from the hotel while Karn saves Meero from attackers. Meeting B2EMO, Brasso, and several others at a ship, Cassian convinces them to take Bix and get to safety, promising to find them. Cassian then confronts Luthen on his own ship. Knowing that Luthen is there to assassinate him, Cassian offers Luthen the choice to either kill him or take him in as a now-committed rebel, and Luthen smiles in response. In a post-credits scene, the machine parts produced by the Narkina 5 prisoners are used in the construction of an Imperial superweapon.

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]
Rogue One co-writer Tony Gilroy returned from the film to serve as showrunner for the prequel series Andor

A spy thriller prequel series to the Star Wars spin-off film Rogue One (2016), focused on Diego Luna's character Cassian Andor, was revealed in November 2018.[15] Tony Gilroy, who was credited as a co-writer on Rogue One and oversaw extensive reshoots for the film, was set to write the first episode, direct multiple episodes,[16] and serve as showrunner by April 2020.[17] Six weeks of pre-production took place in the United Kingdom by then, but this was halted and production on the series delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[18][19] Pre-production began again by that September ahead of a planned filming start the next month. Gilroy, who is based in New York, chose not to travel to the UK for production due to the pandemic and was unable to direct the first episode. The UK-based Toby Haynes, who was already "high on the list" of potential directors for the series, was hired to direct the first three episodes. Gilroy remained executive producer and showrunner.[20] Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy announced the series' title, Andor, in December 2020. Luna was revealed to be executive producing the series, which was set to consist of 12 episodes.[21][22] Sanne Wohlenberg and Michelle Rejwan were also executive producers.[23] In February 2021, Ben Caron and Susanna White were set as additional directors for the season.[24]

Writing

[edit]

In addition to Gilroy and Schiff, writers for the season include Beau Willimon and Gilroy's brother Dan.[17][25] The season begins five years before Rogue One and tells one year of Andor's story when he first becomes a revolutionary,[26][7] with Gilroy approaching the season as if it was the first half of a novel.[7] He stated, "This guy gave his life for the galaxy, right? I mean, he consciously, soberly, without vanity or recognition, sacrificed himself. Who does that?" Gilroy wanted to explore that idea in the season, beginning with Andor "being really revolution-averse, and cynical, and lost, and kind of a mess". The season shows the destruction of Andor's homeworld when he was a boy, and then is based on Andor's adopted planet which becomes radicalized against the Empire.[1] Gilroy wanted to expand upon Andor's backstory, and had used a dialogue said by him in Rogue One, "I’ve been in this fight since I was six years old!", as a starting point. In the development process, Gilroy had labelled it "The Education of Cassian Andor". From there, he had created the planet Kenari as his childhood home, which he had lived in with other children and no adult supervision. Gilroy had compared it to being a "Lord of the Flies-like tribe", with Andor's separation from the tribe also serving as an introduction to Maarva and Clem Andor, desiring to introduce the audience to the Ferrix culture early on as the writing team had spent time creating its social structure. Towards the beginning, he had described Maarva as loving Andor "as much as she could possibly love him", though in the beginning of the series, she had been disappointed by the direction of Andor's life. As the series had progressed, Gilroy wanted to develop the emotional connection between them.[27] After starting with Andor's story in the first three episodes, the fourth begins to expand the scope of the series to include the rest of its large ensemble cast, such as Rebel leader Mon Mothma whose path will cross with Andor's in the second season.[7]

Casting

[edit]

Diego Luna was confirmed to be reprising his role as Cassian Andor from Rogue One with the series' announcement in November 2018.[15] In April 2019, Alan Tudyk was set to reprise his Rogue One role of K-2SO.[28] A year later, Stellan Skarsgård, Kyle Soller, Genevieve O'Reilly, and Denise Gough joined the cast. O'Reilly reprises her role of Mon Mothma from Rogue One and other Star Wars media.[29][17] Adria Arjona joined in August 2020,[30] and Fiona Shaw was added to the cast by that December.[21] Tudyk was not included in an official cast list then, and confirmed a month later that he would no longer be appearing in the season following changes to the story.[31]

The season has over 200 named cast members and over 6,000 extras.[22] In June 2021, Skarsgård revealed that Forest Whitaker was reprising his role as Saw Gerrera from Rogue One.[32] Also reprising roles from Rogue One are Duncan Pow as Ruescott Melshi and Aidan Cook as Benthic "Two Tubes".[4] Malcolm Sinclair portrays Wullf Yularen, a background character played by Robert Clarke in the original Star Wars film (1977) who was voiced by Tom Kane in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008–2020).[33] Andy Serkis, who portrayed Supreme Leader Snoke in the Star Wars sequel trilogy films (2015–2019), appears in the new role of Kino Loy.[12]

Design

[edit]

Luke Hull served as production designer on the season,[34] and described it as "very cinematic".[22] Neal Scanlan provided the creature and droid effects after doing the same for all of Disney's Star Wars films, including Rogue One.[35] He said his team was treating the series the same as they did the films,[22] and due to Gilroy's involvement the series would fit within the same "pocket of [Star Wars] history" as Rogue One with a "slightly harder edge" than other Star Wars projects.[35] Scanlan added that unused creatures developed for the films could be brought back for the season,[36] alongside newly created creatures.[22]

Filming

[edit]

Filming began in London at the end of November 2020,[37][38] with the production based at Pinewood Studios.[39][40] The season was filmed under the working title Pilgrim,[39] with Toby Haynes,[20] Ben Caron, and Susanna White directing.[24] Jonathan Freeman and Adriano Goldman served as cinematographers.[41][42] The season was previously reported to be beginning filming in 2019,[15] and then June 2020,[41] but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[19] Both UK and U.S. COVID-19 protocols were followed on set, including daily temperature checks and tests for COVID-19 three times a week.[40] Filming at Pinewood Studios was expected to end in July 2021.[40]

By late January 2021, a large village set had been built on the grounds of a former quarry in Little Marlow, Buckinghamshire, not far from Pinewood Studios. Filming was expected to take place there until April.[43] Filming in April also took place at the Coryton Refinery in Corringham, Essex.[44] Several days of filming happened in Cleveleys on the Fylde Coast of Lancashire in early May, with the town's promenade and beach area dressed as an alien location,[39] followed by another several days filming in the disused Winspit quarry in Dorset.[45][46] Second unit and location filming began for at least a week at the end of May in Black Park, a country park in Buckinghamshire near Pinewood Studios which was also used for filming Disney's Star Wars films.[47][48] By the end of May, main production on Pilgrim had moved to Glen Tilt in Perthshire, Scotland, and was expected to continue there until late June.[49][50] Around 500 crewmembers travelled to Oban, Scotland, for filming at the nearby Cruachan Dam. This started by June 18, with sets built around the dam and filming also happening in its tunnels.[51][52] From June 22 to 24, filming took place at Middle Peak Quarry near Wirksworth, Derbyshire.[53][54] Production was expected to wrap in mid-2021,[55] and Luna confirmed that it had finished by September 27.[56]

Music

[edit]

Gilroy contacted Nicholas Britell about composing for the series in 2020, before filming began so he could compose source music that would be played on set. Gilroy and Britell, who are neighbors in Manhattan, first met for the project in August 2020. Kennedy and Gilroy wanted the series to have a unique sound, and Britell said it would be "orchestral-plus" with a "wide range of sounds" including some that he had created. He added that the large scope of the series meant that "every episode has new demands, new music, and new ideas. It's important that as the story evolves, the music should evolve too."[57] Britell was publicly revealed to be the series' composer in February 2022,[58] and was still working on it that May when he said they had been "working nonstop for months, actually years, at this point". Recording was underway by then at AIR Lyndhurst studios in London, with a full orchestra. Britell was unable to travel to London due to the pandemic, but had a team in place there that also worked with him on other television series.[57]

Marketing

[edit]

A sizzle reel featuring behind-the-scenes footage of pre-production and filming was released during Disney's Investors Day presentation in December 2020, when the series' title and cast was officially announced by Kennedy.[21][22] Gilroy, Luna, and O'Reilly promoted the series at Star Wars Celebration in May 2022 where they revealed the first teaser trailer.[26][59] It was also released online, and The Hollywood Reporter's Aaron Couch said it showed the "gritty side" of the Star Wars universe.[60] Daniel Chin of The Ringer felt the series had a unique identity within the franchise, with a darker tone, and said the teaser "paints a picture of the formative years of the rebellion against the Empire".[61] Ryan Scott from /Film said the teaser gave the "most comprehensive view at the show up to this point". He said the series could explore the morality behind the rebels, writing that while they are usually seen as heroes there is also "much gray area in there to be explored".[62] Writing for CNET, Sean Keane felt the trailer did not give much away but gave an "intriguing taste of the show's espionage tone".[63]

Luna promoted the series and debuted a full trailer on Good Morning America on August 1.[64] Hattie Lindert from The A.V. Club highlighted the action scenes in the trailer and noted Gilroy's experience with the action-focused Bourne franchise, saying, "In addition to the epic scale and darker tone, the series also promises intense fight scenes created with limited green screen use".[65] The Hollywood Reporter's James Hibberd enjoyed Cassian's increased screen-time in the trailer compared to the teaser and felt the series was a "welcome scenic change" from the previous Star Wars series.[66] At CNN, Scottie Andrew said it "reveals a bit more about Andor's evolution from common thief to galactic martyr".[67] Luna and Kennedy promoted the series at Disney's D23 convention in September and revealed a final trailer,[68] which Keane said "paints a pretty grim setup for revolutionary fighter Cassian Andor and his pals, as fighting the Empire... looks like a one-way ticket to death".[69] Collider's Rachel Leishman said the trailer gave a better look at the rebels and was excited for the series' portrayal of the Empire.[70]
