Picking up a year after the events in the first season, the thief-turned-spy Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) continues hurtling through the galaxy, from one mission to the next, as his handler Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgard) continues to scheme of ways to disrupt the operations of the Galactic Empire and unite all the different factions of rebels into a single alliance.
Rather than directly invade the planet, Krennic puts Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) supervisor Dedra Meero (Denise Gough) in charge of manufacturing a complex scheme that eventually leads to a planet-wide genocide.
Gilroy leverages the smaller moving components – some almost never mentioned or talked about in prior Star Wars media – to work the bigger machinations of the plot, such as the ISB and Dedra’s use of the media to spread propaganda and maintain control of the “Empire good, rebel bad” narrative, and the Empire’s – or Krennic’s – plan to use false flag operations to take over Ghorman.
As Andor is the prequel to 2016’s Rogue One, which itself was a prequel to 1977’s Star Wars, even the most casual viewer would know how this story plays out, yet Gilroy does not allow this narrative awareness to hinder the particular journey his characters have to take.
Free from the shackles of obsessing over the Skywalker family, flashy lightsabers or Force-powered nonsensical gymnastics, Gilroy successfully introduces new ways to tell a Star Wars story with both seasons of Andor and the franchise is all the better for it.
Andor’s second season is streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.
