The second season of Andor is probably more eagerly awaited than anything else in the Star Wars universe. And it is in this that the main villain from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will appear again and play an important role. You can watch the film again on TV today.
That’s what Rogue One is about, one of the best Star Wars movies ever
We get it here with the first Spin-off from the Star Wars universe that doesn’t belong to any of the three Skywalker trilogies. But it forms an important link between the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars. Accordingly, you can experience the transition between the original and the prequel trilogy here.
The Jedi Knights are more or less extinct at this time and their order has been destroyed. The Empire is taking over one region of the universe after another, but fortunately resistance is emerging. Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) and Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) are part of this resistance. The rebellion is preparing to to steal the plans for the first Death Star.

RogueOne
Rogue One’s main villain will soon become important again in the Star Wars series Andor
Rogue One is what Andor is leading up to. Accordingly, it makes a lot of sense that Ben Mendelsohn will also appear as Orson Krennic from Rogue One in the second season. After all, the foundation for the construction of the ultimate weapon was already laid in the grandiose first season and we now know from an interview that this is what will happen.
What exactly the villain is up to, how he is connected to the construction of the first Death Star and what is actually going on with Jyn Erso’s father Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen) is something you can see on TV tonight. It’s definitely worth a look: Even if Rogue One doesn’t quite reach the class of Andor, the spin-off is still lots of fun and offers lots of exciting drama.
Speaking of drama: It won’t be long now before another time-honored franchise celebrates a revival of a special kind. In just three days, the end of humanity begins on Netflix when one of the greatest sci-fi series ever returns as a series.
