Andor Trailer Breakdown: 11 Biggest Story Reveals & Star Wars Easter Eggs
The latest trailer for the Star Wars show Andor is filled with Easter eggs and references to the birth of the Rebel Alliance. While the first wave of Star Wars Disney+ TV series explored the galaxy after Return of the Jedi, the current batch seems focused on a far more sinister era: the Dark Times of the Empire's reign, between the prequels and the original trilogy. Andor specifically features the return of Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), a spy who's drawn into the birth of the Rebel Alliance.
Star Wars has always been political, and George Lucas essentially saw the Rebels as terrorists, basing them on the Viet Cong. They were a ground-level insurgency, battling desperately against a massive Imperial war machine. There was always a sense of «David and Goliath» to the action, perfectly symbolized by a last X-Wing fighter diving in to attack a Death Star like a shepherd boy tossing pebbles at a giant. Viewed from that light, Andor promises to be the story of how the insurgency began, and no doubt it will shine a light on the Imperial atrocities that led so many to risk their lives opposing the Empire. The more Palpatine tightened his grip on the galaxy, the more resistance grew.

Lucasfilm's latest Andor trailer presents the Disney+ TV show as a spiritual successor to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which introduced the title character. Viewers will have to wait a little longer than expected to return to the Dark Times, though, because Andor has been pushed back to September 21 (meaning it no longer clashes with Marvel's She-Hulk). Still, this definitely looks to be worth the wait. Here are all the major takeaways from the Andor trailer.
