CASSIAN ANDOR’S DEEP UNDERCOVER MISSIONS FOR THE REBELS
This batch of photos is another prime example of the massive sets that were built for the show, thus further
solidifying earlier reports that
Andor
will be grand
in scale.
While the set photos don’t reveal any plot details, it seems that this is one of the locations that will be used for Cassian’s potential missions for the Rebels.

Given that Cassian is one of the leading intelligence officers of the Alliance, it’s reasonable to assume that he will go undercover in this specific place to gather information that could help them gain an advantage against the Empire.
Special effects artist Neil Scanlan
previously teased that
Andor
will have a vibe similar
to
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back,
and this could hint that Cassian will be involved in dangerous missions that could spell trouble for the titular character.
If this is the case, then it is likely that this new location will be home to intense sequences that will test the mettle of Cassian against the overwhelming forces of the Empire.

Andor
also boasts numerous story opportunities. Given that the show that mirrors
The Empire Strikes Back,
this could hint that it will show some darker sides of the Rebel Alliance as well.
This has the potential to showcase a different take on the Rebels.
Rogue One
managed to tease that the Alliance is not inherently good, and it’s only fitting that
Andor
will continue to explore this side of the group even further.
Andor
is shaping up to be an exciting Star Wars project that could redefine previous elements of the Skywalker Saga like never before.

is set to premiere sometime in 2022 on Disney+.
