Calling all rebel spies, Coastal House Media have some new intel on the next major Star Wars story.
Today at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022, Lucasfilm’s Studio Showcase revealed that Andor, the upcoming Disney+ series, will start streaming on August 31, 2022. In addition, a new teaser trailer for the series made its debut, featuring the titular hero in action, as well as glimpses of the Empire and much more. Check it out below.
The “Andor” series will explore a new perspective from the Star Wars galaxy, focusing on Cassian Andor’s journey to discover the difference he can make. The series brings forward the tale of the burgeoning rebellion against the Empire and how people and planets became involved. It’s an era filled with danger, deception and intrigue where Cassian will embark on the path that is destined to turn him into a rebel hero.
Lucasfilm also released a striking Andor poster.

REVIEW:
I know what you’re all thinking, why didn’t I go to see this in the cinema? I didn’t, life got in the way. So, I’ve finally been able to settled down and watch it on Now TV. And what a movie!! It ties in so well with the ‘Star Wars’ franchise while still being a stand alone story. The introduction to the main character is intense, but vital to the storyline. The story is constantly driving forward, there are no slow parts, yet it perfectly tells the story. ‘Rogue One,’ has everything in it. It’ll make you laugh, cry, be sad then happy. There are plenty of “Oh no” moments, as well as “Ahh” moments. The cast of ‘Rogue One’ has chemistry and play off each other well. This movie is definitely a must watch if you haven’t seen it yet. So what are you playing at? Give it a chance, you might be pleasantly surprised. Until next time folks!!
Lucasfilm and Disney Pictures have announced a new Star Wars trilogy in the works. The company has entrusted Episode VIII Director Rian Johnson to helm the story. The New trilogy will not follow the Skywalker family and will take us an entirely new direction in Star Wars lore. Some have speculated we will see stories revolving around the old republic. Others believe we will see the return of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan. A Star Wars television series is also expected to be launched by the end of 2019.
“We all loved working with Rian on ‘The Last Jedi,’” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. “He’s a creative force, and watching him craft ‘The Last Jedi’ from start to finish was one of the great joys of my career. Rian will do amazing things with the blank canvas of this new trilogy.”

Rian Johnson and his long time partner Ram Bergman reciprocated their feelings about working with Lucasfilm and Disney:
“We had the time of our lives collaborating with Lucasfilm and Disney on ‘The Last Jedi,’ ” Johnson and Bergman said in a joint statement. “ ‘Star Wars’ is the greatest modern mythology and we feel very lucky to have contributed to it. We can’t wait to continue with this new series of films.”
