The Andor series picks up five years before the events of Rogue One. At this point Cassian is not yet part of the rebellion. As the trailer shows, however, it doesn’t take long before he finds himself drawn into a conflict vastly larger than himself, fought between the Rebel Alliance and the Empire.
Along with this, Andor is bringing back an exciting Star Wars character: Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly), who appeared in both the prequels and the original trilogy. She also had a brief appearance in Rogue One. The former senator and later rebel leader is located between the lines of good and bad.
