How didCassian Andor becomethe brash , rogueish leaderwho helped steal the Death Star plansand ultimately demolish the Empire ? Next week , we set about to find out and it sounds likeit’ll be deserving the wait .
Andor is thelatest Star Wars show coming to Disney+and it ’s set year before the events ofRogue One : A Star Wars Story . In it , we ’ll meet Cassian ( Diego Luna ) at a more puzzling time in his life . He ’s a man without a role . A human who knows what he wants , but not how to get it . And so , through a serial publication of encounters , he ’ll find himself on a path to becoming the Rebel leader who perished , victorious , in the coat of arms of Jyn Erso .
The 12 - instalment first season of Andor begin next hebdomad , on September 21 , but fellow member of the press were give access to the first four installment for editorial design and the societal media trade stoppage on those reactions just lift . Below , you ’ll seea plenty of unlike reaction to the show , which at the very least , seems like it will be very dissimilar from the mythology , cameo - heavy show fans have become used to . Whether or not hoi polloi consider that a salutary thing , remains to be seen .

I ’ve seen 4 episode of#Andorand it ’s very unlike from the rest of modern Star Wars , for better & bad .
The first 2 episodes did n’t grab me : Too matter of fact , too gloomy stakes . But 3 - 4 paid them off incredibly well . Now , I ’m all in , but it takes time to settle in its hooks.pic.twitter.com/TxrB243kmN

The steady tensity filled build of#Andorgets right down to a personal tale of diaspora . Diego Luna shines as a subsister on the fringe who finds himself implemental to the first of the rebellion hammer by the disenfranchisement of the Empire , like so many others ready to arise

StarWars#Andoris very , VERY , good . The output character and playacting is off the charts . feel like a " prestige " drama within the galaxy far , far away . emphatically the most " adult " Star Wars narrative so far , with more subtle earthly concern - construction & dim burning story . It rules . Hard.pic.twitter.com/4PjqkoZ56Y

.#Andoris perfectly beautiful . The writing , motion-picture photography , medicine , & acting were phenomenal . There were even moments of hilarity so it did n’t feel like dread ( the feeling of the empire & location ) . Think Mandalorian levels . It was so salutary . The direction was just 🔥 🔥 🔥

Andoris unlike any@starwarsstory that we ’ve ever seen before.@diegoluna_is at the centre of a sensational & severe world in upheaval . It ’s gritty , mature , and the most intelligent and well - informed tarradiddle we ’ve had to date . Tony Gilroy is a genius.pic.twitter.com/pfZwlmZ0HD

If you care Rogue One for all the ways it was n’t a distinctive Star Wars movie , then you ’ll probably like#Andorfor many of the same reasons . It ’s a slow - burn mark character dramatic event . Diego Luna is excellent and after the first four instalment , I ’m emotional to see where it give out next.pic.twitter.com/iWquehxxVe

Andoris a dark and game undercover agent thriller that provides fans w/ a position of the#StarWarsuniverse . The first four episode are populated with fertile and complex characters like Andor and Bux , and has resonating themes that reflect upon the world we live in today . It ’s so goodpic.twitter.com/xWOP8p12Ra

Andoris THAT Star Wars show ! A by design paced , superimposed , spy story . It ’s more focussed on quality exploration than any hasty action sequence . It might be too dissimilar for some , but I ’m loving the change of rate , tone , and feel . It ’s unlike anything I ’ve get word in Star Wars.pic.twitter.com/faVnj10Taw

I watched Andor ’s first four episode weeks ago , but it ’s been burn into my mastermind . The first two episodes are slooooow , to the point where I questioned if it feel like Star Wars . Then the third instalment blew my idea , and I was accost for the fourth.#Andorpic.twitter.com / T0v1G53iKF

Cassian#Andoris a very , very different sort of Star Wars protagonist . Shifty . A bunco creative person . A liar . And it makes the show all the good . Diego Luna and Stellan Skarsgård just toss off whenever they ’re on screen together .

Andorfeels like#StarWarsin the best ways , and like something completely unlike in the best ways , too . It ’s rarified for such a well - known franchise to superintend something that feels brand novel , but I call back this show pulls it off .

I ’ve seen the first 4 episode of#Andorand it ’s probably the most fledged and nuanced@starwarsproject made so far . cleverly write , beautifully scoot & confidently move , it ooze retro - futurism of the late ‘ 70s and rocks a marvelously data-based scotch from@NicholasBritell.pic.twitter.com/uHj3qrV0Vi

Tonally , visually , sonically , if I did n’t know#Andorwas a Star Wars show , I would have thought it was a completely new , grownup sci - fi drama . That ’s a good thing ( maybe a great thing ) that pay off on the promise of allow other creators to play in the sandbox . Promising start.pic.twitter.com/9iocYIxf69
