Andor: Watch the gritty first trailer for new Star Wars spin-off

The first proper trailer for upcoming Disney+ and Lucasfilm series Andor is here – and it already looks pretty damn great.

The 12-episode Star Wars spin-off – set before the events of Rogue One – will seemingly show a whole new political side to our favourite galaxy far, far away, with this first two-and-a-half-minute look getting straight into the nitty gritty.

A brief description of Andor reveals how main character Cassian Andor (hence the title) will be discovering ‘the difference he can make’ in the series, with it all set to bring ‘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.’

Watch the new trailer below:

The first three episodes of Andor – which stars Diego Luna reprising his role as Cassian, plus the likes of Genevieve O’Reilly, Stellan Skarsgård, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller and Fiona Shaw – will premiere on Disney+ on September 21.
