"Resistance is absurd" but vital, according to Star Wars' new Andor season 2 trailer

We're getting very close to Rogue One territory in the new trailer for Star Wars series Andor

The Empire is on the move — but one man, at least, is determined that they will not win. It’s time for a different kind of mission… and the second season of Lucasfilm’s acclaimed Andor, as evidenced by the release of a new trailer for the show’s final outing.

The new trailer for the show’s second (and final) season is heavy on the foreboding as the series move ever closer to events in 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story — the Empire is gathering strength, and the Death Star is being constructed in space even as the Rebellion is slowly realizing just what is happening, and wondering how to stop it… if that’s even possible.

Given that Daredevil: Born Again has seemingly provoked a new wave of people checking out the Netflix Daredevil series, it'll be interesting to see if Rogue One viewership on Disney+ will pop after the completion of Andor. If Disney is smart, they'll make a point of repromoting the movie as soon as the show's over. Is it too late to retitle it Rogue One: An Andor Story? 

The second season of Andor sees Diego Luna return in the title role, accompanied by some familiar faces from Rogue One: Ben Mendelsohn, Forest Whitaker, and Alan Tudyk, whose K-2SO can be briefly glimpsed in the new clip.The season begins April 22 on Disney+.
