What will be Diego Luna’s new series in “Star Wars”? ‘Andor’ opens in August

Just days after the premiere of the first trailer for “Obi-Wan Kenobi”, a series that will reveal what happened to the Jedi after Order 66, “Star Wars” continues its plans to further expand the universe of its stories. . .

The next production on Lucasfilm’s agenda is “Andor”, a series starring Diego Luna that, according to media such as “Screenrant”, will premiere in August 2022.

If this information is confirmed, “Star Wars” fans will have a lot to do in the second half of the year, since the third season of “The Mandalorian” is scheduled for December, while Ahsoka will be released before 2023.

‘Andor’: what about the new ‘Star Wars’ series?

The new “Star Wars” series will be a prequel to the events of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”, the most successful spin-off of the franchise. Therefore, his action will take place between “Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith” and “Star Wars: A New Hope”.

This means that it will be the third series in the epic to be developed during this time, after “Rebels” and “Obi-Wan Kenobi”.

His plot will follow Cassian Andor, a ruthless soldier who leads Rebellion’s efforts to win their first battle against the Galactic Empire.

Fans can watch Rebellion’s hero’s motives for fighting the tyranny of Emperor Palpatine’s government, as well as the darkest moments of the rebel organization.

‘Andor‘: which characters will appear in the series?

It is almost certain that fans will see K-2SO again, an Imperial security droid reprogrammed to serve the Rebel Alliance. In both ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ and comics, this robot was Cassian Andor’s faithful companion.

Another confirmed character for the series is Mon Mothma, the Rebels leader, who will be played again by Irish actress Genevieve O’Reilly.

Mothma, along with various politicians of the Republic, sowed the seeds of revolt almost from the end of the Clone Wars. In the Republic era, he was an important ally of Padmé Amidala.

Senator Bail Organa, though not confirmed, could appear given his importance to the Rebel Alliance, and with him could be a cameraman from Leia Organa, the daughter of Anakin Skywalker.

Saw Gerrera could also play a very important role in ‘Andor’, due to his influence on the guerrillas and his famous extremist attacks against the Empire.
