- What to watch before seeing Andor on Disney +?
- Andor | When does the new Star Wars series take place?
Without a Skywalker, a Jedi or even a Baby Yoda to connect with the stories we already know, went arrived with its first three episodes dedicated to introducing new faces, including those of Cassian Andor himself (Diego Luna). The hero appeared in Rogue One: A Star Wars Adventurebut only in this prequel do we really know him.
That’s why it’s very easy to get lost in the new series, even more so if we remember that the franchise is known for its rather cartoonish names. So to help you situate yourself in rebellion and avoid friendly fire, the Canaltech listed the main characters of went to let you settle into the new storyline.
Cassian Andor (Diego Luna)
The big star of the show is actually a figure still on the rise at this point in history. In Thief Onewe know Andor only as a member of the alliance who, after a long time of struggle, already has a hardened soul and sees this whole war in a much more skeptical and less idealized way, also because he understands that even good guys do terrible things.
Only, as the series takes place five years before the film, we follow its entire transformation to this point of disillusionment with the cause. And it’s a very long journey, not least because it begins the plot as a thief and smuggler working on a planet dominated by the Empire. And it is thanks to his ability to move anywhere without being noticed that he attracts the attention of the rebellion.
Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly)
Mon Mothma’s name might go unnoticed by most of the public, but he is a central figure in the whole mythology of the Star Wars. The character first appears in the original trilogy – played by another actress, of course – as one of the leaders of the Rebel Alliance and, over the years, the saga’s films, animations and books have expanded her past and role. her. within the entire world political context of the galaxy.
In went, Mothma is a senator who, despite her role within the imperial government, helps and finances the action of the rebel cells scattered around the planets. She will be a centerpiece of Andor’s transformation into the soldier we already know. Furthermore, she is also largely responsible for creating the Rebel Alliance, which explains why she is being hunted by the Empire.
Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgard)
Luther is an original character of went and who appears in the first episodes of the series as a mysterious influential man who goes to Morlana-One to swap parts, even though we know there is a lot more behind this story. in fact he is a rich and influential man who, along with Mon Mothma, is organizing rebel cells and rising up against the Empire.
So he’s going to be that kind of mentor for the protagonist. It is he who will take Andor out of his ordinary world and take him on the hero’s journey to become one of the greats of the Rebel Alliance. So, rather than being this father figure that the hero doesn’t have, he’ll be the Obi-Wan of the season, albeit far behind.
Bix Caleen (Adria Arjona)
Cassian Andor’s love interest isn’t just a pretty face and the girl to save at the end of the episode. The landfill owner in Morlana-One has her feelings for the hero, but she also has ties to important people, like Luthen himself, which puts her right in the middle of this collision course between the rebel forces and the ‘Empire.
In fact, the story of went he starts walking only because of her and a mequetrefe love triangle that exists there.
Maarva Andor (Fiona Shaw)
The true Andor of all history. Indeed, Maarva is Cassian’s adoptive mother and part of this story is presented in the first episodes of the series. We won’t go into detail to avoid spoilers.
However, it is important to point out that she has always been a survivor – since before the rise of the Empire – and that is what united her path with what her son is protected. And one of the interesting points that the series presents is the parallel it makes between this relationship and the one that Andor will build with Luthen.
Kyle Soller (Syril Karn)
The villain who appears to have come out of the face-matching session promises to be the big thorn in Andor’s side, even if in Morlana-One he’s nothing more than a city guard.
Although he likes to think with all military truculence and has incorporated the warlike discourse of the Empire, he is not part of the government itself, being just a sub-inspector of the local police. However, his ambition to drink this privilege is thwarted by the hero and this pushes him to seek the protagonist at all costs.
Dedra Meero (Denise Gough)
If Soller is just a guard who wants to be for the Empire, Dedra Meero represents that strength and stubbornness tied to the system, which means she is as ruthless and power-hungry as you can imagine.
He is an officer linked to the Imperial Security Bureau, which is nothing more than an intelligence body responsible for monitoring and neutralizing both rebel cells and preventing the onset of uprisings and rebellions in the dominated territories. In other words, he embodies the repression that an authoritarian regime brings.
And it is in the emergence of this figure of Cassian Andor and his influential allies that he sees the opportunity to grow in his career and gain more prestige before the Emperor. Therefore, he will spare no effort to capture – or immediately kill – the hero.
Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker)
Saw Gerrera does not appear in the first few episodes of the series, but we know he will appear soon. Also to be a central figure in this historical moment of Star Wars.
The character is one of the rebel leaders who continues to generate headaches for the Empire. However, contrary to what figures like Mon Mothma and Luthen think, he believes that the rebellion must fight with the same weapons as the enemy, which makes him adopt very radical means in his attacks, which also include terrorist attacks.
This is why his methods are also questioned by the allies.
