Star Wars: Andor (April 22, 2025)

[a-dev]

Back to the Future is the only IP as yet untarnished by ill-advised, cash-in sequels, prequels and reboots. And I'm sure it's only a matter of time. I wonder how long after Robert Zemeckis dies will they wait before announcing the new multi-picture deal with the full slate of tie-ins and merchandise across all platforms. I'm sure they hope he dies before Christopher Lloyd does so they can get him and Fox in it to hand off to the new diverse cast.

As for Star Wars, my engagement is now limited to the occasional Hasbro TVC toy for the OT. I'm currently looking forward to getting the Haslab Cantina.

Well I hate the music choice, that's like playin "Single Ladies" by Beyonce over a Lord of the Rings trailer .

I agree. It’s a good trailer, but the music is an odd choice.

I wonder if this is them trying to pander to the general audience. Since the first season didn’t do amazing viewership numbers.

But it ruins the whole vibe of the trailer imo. Need someone to recut it with proper Star Wars music.

If they wanted more viewers they could've ditched dour Cassian and called the second season, Erso.

Hype!
Never imagined Steve Earle Music with Star Wars, and even more surprising, enjoying the perfectly anachronistic fit. Yet here we are.
The Revolution Starts Now!



Who called Andor, to be saving Star Wars.

Great trailer if you mute the audio. Please God let Hot Toys share it.

This looks incredible. And for a trailer? I think the music works. They're also playing with the zeitgeist, obviously.

Awesome trailer

Looks like Tarkin is back too? Anyone else catch a glimpse?

I hope so. That would be a chance to have a Hot Toys 2.0.

Am sure they did that just to create chatter. Disney is pretty desperate these days for any word of mouth.

I had no idea they were releasing 3 episodes a week for 4 weeks!

Maybe they are trying out a hybrid weekly/binge format.

I think it's due to the accelerated storyline. Each 3 episode arc covers a year in the 4 year lead up to Rogue One.

Man Cassian went through it and then went out like a boss.

 

[Buttmunch]

That’s a smart move doing them in chunks like that. They’re essentially giving us 4 new Star Wars movies and breaking them up into 30-60 minute chunks each week wouldn’t have the same impact as getting the full arc story at once. Hopefully that also means we’ll have something new on the horizon at Celebration or else it’s going to be a long dry spell before the Mando movie.

Great. Now I'm picturing Aragorn, Legolas & Gimli in leotards and high heels as backup dancers in her video just like that SNL skit. Thanks for that lol...

I assume HT will announce Andor figures during SW Celebration, which is being held right before the show premieres.
