While the images are blurry, the outlet pointed out that a potential stand-off appears to be taking place, but it’s hard to say if the titular character is involved.

THE LOOMING PRESENCE OF THE EMPIRE IN THE SERIES
While it’s already confirmed that the Empire will be involved in a major way in
Andor
, these photos should serve as a primer for things to come for the series. Given that the show is set before
Rogue One
and
A New Hope
, it makes sense for the stormtroopers to have a much larger presence, and this could spell trouble for Cassian and his allies.

Based on the show’s premise,
Andor
creates the perfect opportunity to showcase the harsh treatment of the Empire to the galaxy while also featuring the process of how the Rebel Alliance slowly becomes the beacon of hope for those individuals that are being oppressed.
The stand-off that is being teased in the set photos might include Cassian in some form, and it’s possible that this could be the starting point of the character’s fight against the Empire.
On the flip side, this could end up being only a random encounter from a different character altogether, and the sequence could be used to establish the Empire’s dominance in the galaxy (as evidenced by Stormtroopers simply observing the whole ordeal).

Whatever the case,
Andor
has the potential to enrich the Skywalker Saga by telling untold stories, and it will be interesting to see how it will unfold.
Andor
will premiere on Disney+ sometime in 2022.
