ALandoseries was also announced, in addition to the shows we’ve known about for over a year, including theRogue One Prequel Seriesand theObi-Wan Kenobiseries.
TheRogue Onespin-off is officially titledAndor. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy also revealed a sizzle reel for theDisney+ series, which does not contain any footage from the upcoming series. It did, however, feature Diego Luna on set in England. Production just started, so they don’t have any footage to share at the moment, though that will all change in the coming months. Kennedy says that the show will debut in 2022, but she did not announce a premiere date for the series. VFX supervisor Neal Scanlan hinted that the series might re-purpose unused characters and creatures from pastStar Warsprojects that have already been designed.
In addition to Diego Luna,Andorwill also star Alan Tudyk as the droid sidekickK-2S0, along with Stellan Skarsgard, Adria Arjona, Fiona Shaw, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, and Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma. As for the plot, not much is known about the show, except for the obvious fact that it will take place well before the events ofRogue One, which was a box office success. While the sequel trilogy did not satisfy all fans, the spin-off from the series did, or at least it has in the years since it hit theaters.
TheStar Warssequel trilogy proved to be a big success at the box office, despite some negative reactions from critics and long-time fans.The Force Awakenshit theaters in 2015 and quickly grossed over $2 billion globally, whileThe Force Awakensopened in 2017 and made just over $1.3 billion globally.The Rise of Skywalkeropened in theaters in 2019 and made just over $1 billion. The trilogy as a whole was able to earn $4.4 billion globally, which is massive, even with the last two movies earning significantly less thanThe Force Awakens.
Rian Johnson was behind the camera for 2017’sThe Last Jedi, which saw an intense backlash from fans who were not excited to see him mess with the formula. However, opinions on the second installment in the sequel trilogy have started to turn around. A lot of fans now appreciate what Johnson was trying to do, which could end up happening to the trilogy as a whole in a few more years. Regardless, theStar Warsfranchise is still a force to be reckoned with at the box office. you’re able to check out the official announcement and sizzle reel forAndorabove, thanks tothe official Star Wars Twitter account.
