Each of the three episodes in season 2 of Andor is the equivalent of a year, with the final shot going directly into the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

“The quality of the program is very high. Directors work in blocks of three episodes, so we did four blocks [in Season 1] three episodes each. [For Season 2] we looked and said, ‘Wow, it would be really fun if we came back, and used each block to represent a year,'” Gilroy said. the kingdomback in July.

As mentioned above, creator Gilroy made that clear Andor season 2 will head to Yavin, the jungle moon that served as the Rebel Alliance’s base of operations in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The jungle moon Yavin IV also appeared in the 2016 film Rogue One, serving as a prequel to A New Hope, where the Death Star was destroyed. Going into season 2, Andor will likely continue to work alongside the Rebels, and act as a guide to memorable locations and events within the massive Star Wars franchise.
