Andor season 2 lastly has a correct trailer, however it’s seemingly not all sunshine and rainbows over at Lucasfilm proper now.
It is solely a few months till Andor season 2 debuts on Disney Plus, nearly three after the primary season aired, and the Home of Mouse has lastly elected to grace us all with a correct trailer after just a few teases right here and there. Anybody that is seen the primary season is aware of it has a bit extra of a severe tone to it in comparison with different Star Wars initiatives, with its barely extra politically outspoken leanings (as political as a Disney undertaking can get, anyway). However the trailer for season 2 seems to be leaning a bit extra into an actiony, thrillery type of vibe, set to Steve Earle’s The Revolution Begins Now, which is clearly an acceptable title, although maybe tonally is not fairly the suitable vibe.

It is not a foul trailer, simply an odd one given the entire vibe of Andor as a complete, and I doubt the ultimate factor will really feel so bizarre, however hey, advertising and marketing am I proper! You will in all probability additionally spot Ben Mendelsohn reprising his position as Star Wars: Rogue One’s antagonist Orson Krennic, although it looks like his presence will largely be minimal. It will not be too lengthy till we learn how concerned he’s, because the present is about to premiere on Disney Plus this coming April 22.
Nonetheless, it does sound like Lucasfilm is on some barely shaky floor in the mean time. A report from Puck yesterday claimed that Kathleen Kennedy, who has been the president of Lucasfilm for 13 years now, will likely be stepping down from the position by the top of the 12 months. In reality, Kennedy had apparently deliberate to depart final 12 months, although determined to remain one other 12 months. This comes off the again of an clearly blended observe file – Star Wars hasn’t had a brand new movie entry in nearly six years, and each it and quite a few different initiatives since have had a blended reception.
We all know there is a bunch extra initiatives within the works, like that solo Rey film and a James Mangold directed prequel, however half of Kennedy’s time at Lucasfilm hasn’t fairly captured that film magic the best way the sequence used to. A alternative apparently hasn’t been set but, so we’ll have to attend and see if whichever beginner will get thrusted into the pinnacle set of Star Wars has what it takes.
