Andor is an American television series created by Tony Gilroy for the streaming service Disney+. While still a part of the universe, Andor will be something different. Here we provide a list of things you should remember before watching Andor, lest you have some expectations in mind.





What is Andor?

It is a prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, in which Diego played Cassian Andor. Spoiler alert, Cassian dies in Rogue One, and thus Andor has to be a prequel. Speaking of it, Tony Gilroy, the executive producer, said Cassian sacrificed himself for the galaxy.
They will be focusing on the reason behind his choice.

Cassian’s life coverage

The first season will show a year of Cassian’s life, five years before the scenes of Rogue One. The viewers will be surprised and forced to wonder how the Cassian they see in Andor chose to sacrifice himself.

With five years left for the Battle of Yavin, the Empire will expand, as the ultimate weapon is about to be complete.
