Lucasfilm and Disney may not have brought a huge amount of news for Star Wars Day 2021, but diehards know the franchise is hard at work bringing new content for release in the next couple of years. This week alone, fans have enjoyed the debut episode of
Star Wars’ next animated series
The Bad Batch
while getting excited for the start of production for
Ewan McGregor’s
Obi-Wan Kenobi
limited series
.
Cameras are also rolling for Diego Luna’s
Andor
series, which will explore a new story set
about five years before the events of
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
. Plot details are expectedly being kept under wraps for now,
although early looks at the project
tease new locations and characters that haven’t seen much screen time throughout the saga to date.

A new sneak peak at this series confirms some of these introductions after a similar leak just the other day.

Luna and the trooper are seen in front of a beach and the ocean in the last two shots. This looks like the two could be in character here, although it’s unclear what’s taking place in the scene.
A SMALL TEASE FOR THE NEXT DISNEY+ ADVENTURE
It’s difficult to pin down exactly what’s happening in this scene with Cassian Andor and the Shoretroopers, although the clones’ return should be an exciting addition to this solo series. Luna and these newer soldiers first interacted with each other about five years ago in
Rogue One
, and with this show being set before that movie, it will be interesting to find out how they come into play for this adventure.

These new photos combined with earlier looks showcasing a massive intergalactic town in a separate location tease the massive scale Lucasfilm is utilizing for Cassian’s first story on his own. The titular hero will be expanding on his experience with the Rebel Alliance, and it’s becoming clear that the studio is holding nothing back in making sure the character gets his due shine before his story in
Rogue One
.
Andor
is currently filming and will release on Disney+ sometime in 2022.
