We’re All Capable OF BEING PART OF A Revolution

Star Wars fans are about to delve deep into the history of one of the franchise’s most interesting rebel heroes! With Andor, which releases this month on Disney+ Hotstar, we go back to Cassian Andor, whom we first met in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the standalone film in the franchise from 2016.

In the film, Cassian was deeply entrenched in the rebel uprising, and, while we do know what ultimately happens to his character, it was clear that there was so much going on with him before he reached that stage. Set five years before the events of Rogue One, Andor is the prequel to that story, set in the formative years of the Rebellion and focusing entirely on Andor’s journey to discovering the difference he can make.
