“We’re in a war. You wanna fight? Or you wanna win?”
The first teaser for the much-anticipated second season of Disney+’s Andor — the critically acclaimed prequel to 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story — has been released, showing Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor more determined than ever to resist the Empire… and the arrival of a figure many fans had been hoping to see in the show before its conclusion. (No, not K-2SO, but he shows up in the trailer as well.)
Yes, your eyes aren’t deceiving you: that’s Ben Mendelsohn’s Orson Krennic surveying the chaos in the new trailer, watching the construction of the Death Star and describing it as a “swell party.” (More than any other Star Wars project, Andor rejoices in characters speaking colloquially using languages and references that don’t feel very ‘Star Wars-ish,’ but still; it’s a line that feels right for Krennic.) He’s one of a number of cast from Rogue One appearing in the show’s second season alongside Luna; also returning are Alan Tudyk and Forest Whitaker, whose Saw Gerrera can also be seen in the teaser.
Tellingly, the new teaser isn’t just glimpses of the cast and crew from the new season; it’s also packed with quotes from critics about how good the first season was, and using language that reaches far beyond the franchise faithful. It feels very much as if Disney+ is realizing that it might have a mainstream hit on its hands, and wants to let everyone know that the show is worth watching, even if Star Wars isn’t normally their thing. Take a look for yourself.
Andor season 2 debuts on Disney+ April 22.
