Andor season 2 lastly has a correct trailer, nevertheless it’s seemingly not all sunshine and rainbows over at Lucasfilm proper now.
It is solely a few months till Andor season 2 debuts on Disney Plus, virtually three after the primary season aired, and the Home of Mouse has lastly elected to grace us all with a correct trailer after a number of teases right here and there. Anybody that is seen the primary season is aware of it has a bit extra of a critical tone to it in comparison with different Star Wars initiatives, with its barely extra politically outspoken leanings (as political as a Disney venture can get, anyway). However the trailer for season 2 seems to be leaning a bit extra into an actiony, thrillery sort of vibe, set to Steve Earle’s The Revolution Begins Now, which is clearly an applicable title, although maybe tonally is not fairly the fitting vibe.

It isn’t a nasty trailer, simply an odd one given the entire vibe of Andor as an entire, and I doubt the ultimate factor will really feel so bizarre, however hey, advertising am I proper! You will in all probability additionally spot Ben Mendelsohn reprising his position as Star Wars: Rogue One’s antagonist Orson Krennic, although it looks like his presence will principally be minimal. It will not be too lengthy till we learn how concerned he’s, because the present is ready to premiere on Disney Plus this coming April 22.
Nonetheless, it does sound like Lucasfilm is on some barely shaky floor in the intervening time. A report from Puck yesterday claimed that Kathleen Kennedy, who has been the president of Lucasfilm for 13 years now, shall be stepping down from the position by the top of the yr. In actual fact, Kennedy had apparently deliberate to go away final yr, although determined to remain one other yr. This comes off the again of an clearly combined observe file – Star Wars hasn’t had a brand new movie entry in virtually six years, and each it and a variety of different initiatives since have had a combined reception.
We all know there is a bunch extra initiatives within the works, like that solo Rey film and a James Mangold directed prequel, however half of Kennedy’s time at Lucasfilm hasn’t fairly captured that film magic the way in which the collection used to. A alternative apparently hasn’t been set but, so we’ll have to attend and see if whichever beginner will get thrusted into the pinnacle set of Star Wars has what it takes.
