The new television series from the “Star Wars” universe, “Andor”, promises a look into the daily lives of the people who eventually become heroes in the ongoing battle in a galaxy far, far away.
“Andor,” which debuts on the Disney+ streaming service on Wednesday, predates the events of the 2016 film “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” The main character is Cassian Andor, played by Diego Luna.
“There has to be action and adventure, like the big sci-fi scope you expect from ‘Star Wars’, but at the same time, we can allow ourselves to be different,” Luna told Reuters.
The 12-episode series aims to answer the question of “what was life like for people to be willing to sacrifice everything for a cause, you know? I don’t think we saw that,” Luna said.
“I don’t think we were in the most intimate lives of people who were having to live under the Empire’s control. What were those dark times, you know? Now let’s understand that,” he added.
“Andor” takes place five years before the events of “Rogue One”, in which Luna’s character sacrifices herself for the greater good. Disney has already ordered a second season that will lead up to the film’s opening moment.
