No, not all Star Wars series follow each other. Although The Mandalorian and its spin-off The Book of Boba Fett were decided to take place after the end of Episode VI (Return of the Jedi), the Obi-Wan Kenobi series began in George Lucas’ trilogy.
Thus, while not directly related to the story of the famous Jedi miniseries, Andor also chose to take place several years before, but also before, the plot of Episode IV (A New Hope). The film Rogue, one of which is a prequel, as it focuses on the past of one of its protagonists: Cassian Andor, played by Diego Luna.
You don’t need to know the entire Star Wars mythology to watch Andor; You just need to know that the Intergalactic Republic gave way to the Empire, whose policy of authoritarian expansion saw the formation of rebel groups here and there in the galaxy.
Formerly a mere mercenary who acted out of self-interest, Andor would be one of the key figures in the rebellion led by Princess Leia Organa a few years later. The series will therefore allow us to understand how the latter gradually took up the cause of the rebels, while we also discover the formation of the Empire from the point of view of the young recruits of the Imperial armies.
You can discover the new Star Wars Andor series exclusively on Disney+ starting September 21!
