Andor
2022–2025 Star Wars television series
Andor, also known as Star Wars: Andor or Andor: A Star Wars Story, is an American television series created by Tony Gilroy for the streaming service Disney+. It is part of the Star Wars franchise and a prequel to the anthology film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), itself a prequel to the original 1977 Star Wars film. The series follows an ensemble cast primarily centered upon thief-turned-rebel spy Cassian Andor during the five formative years leading up to the events of the two films, exploring Andor's radicalization against the Galactic Empire as well as the formation of the wider Rebel Alliance.
Diego Luna reprises his role as Cassian Andor from Rogue One and serves as an executive producer. The series also stars Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Stellan Skarsgård, Fiona Shaw, Genevieve O'Reilly, Denise Gough, Faye Marsay, Varada Sethu, Elizabeth Dulau, and Benjamin Bratt, with Ben Mendelsohn and Alan Tudyk reprising their roles from Rogue One. Lucasfilm announced the series in 2018, with Luna attached and Stephen Schiff as showrunner. Schiff was replaced by Rogue One co-writer Gilroy as creator and showrunner in April 2020. Filming took place at Pinewood Studios in London and on location around the UK, with Neal Scanlan returning from Rogue One to provide practical effects. The first season, covering the year of Andor's life during which he becomes a revolutionary, was filmed from November 2020 to September 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The second season covers the next four years and ends where the events of Rogue One begin; it was filmed from November 2022 to February 2024, delayed due to the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes.

Why this record matters
“Andor” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Andor, Star and Wars provides the most credible route into that argument.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q60462338. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2016, 1977, 2018 and 2020.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
