The 'Star Wars' series for people who don't like the 'Star Wars' series.

BarcelonaIn the overcrowded universe of the brand's series Star Wars we must distinguish the wheat from the chaff and Andor would be on the list of productions that have managed to do justice to the universe created by George Lucas. Despite its critical success, Disney+ has decided not to drag its feet, and the series will premiere its second and final season this Tuesday. A novelty is that the episodes will not premiere one by one weekly, but will be added to the platform in blocks of three. That is, the first three will premiere this Wednesday and the following three the following week; until completing the 12 episodes that this farewell season will have.

Andor It is a prequel to Rogue One, movie spin-off of Star Wars, which follows Cassian Andor's (Diego Luna) journey to becoming one of the leaders of the rebels against the Empire. The first season ended with Cassian joining Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård), another of the prominent figures of the revolutionary movement. The new season, which covers four years of Cassian's life, will show the events that take place just before the plot of Rogue One.

Diego Luna explained in an interview with Vanity Fair that one of the virtues ofAndor It is a series that can also be enjoyed by people who have not seen any of the films. Star Wars. "I have met several people who have told me: "I am not interested Star Wars and I have never followed him, but I have seen Andor and I like it a lot." And that's because, if you like political dramas, spy series, intrigue... this is a series you can watch and enjoy without needing to be a faithful follower of the series," argues the Mexican actor.

A shortened series

When creator Tony Gilroy conceived the series, he imagined it as a five-season fiction, one for each year until reaching the events of Rogue One. However, it soon became clear that the initial idea was unworkable. "When we started working on the series, we realized it was physically impossible to do this for 15 years. It takes a long time to make each season. Diego would have been too old, and I would have ended up in a box somewhere under the bed," explains Gilroy.

While filming the first season, they decided to restructure the entire series, and Gilroy says he's pleased with the result because he was able to dedicate the entire first season to the year it takes Cassian to decide to join the revolution.
