Andor rises to meet the challenge of telling the story of the Rebellion's early days through the eyes of a man who hasn’t fully come into his own yet. Our review:
Star Wars has never shied away from telling the end of the story long before the beginning is revealed to its fans, and Andor is tasked with telling the origins of a character that audiences have already loved and lost. Six years ago, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story introduced the world to Cassian Andor , a war-torn rebel who had devoted his life to fighting back against the tyrannical rule of the Empire.
The series begins in 5BBY, at a fracture point in the Star Wars timeline. For context, the series is set roughly four years after Obi-Wan Kenobi, and at roughly the same point in history that Saw Gerrera is abandoning Jyn Erso and Ezra Bridger is joining Hera and Kanan aboard the Ghost. Tensions are starting to grow fraught across the galaxy, Imperial sympathizers are leaning into their newfound power, all while the first real flames of rebellion are starting to be stoked.
Across the board, Andor feels like a Star Wars series for a more mature audience. Beyond the intense uneasiness of the geopolitical situation and the elevated stakes, it doesn’t shy away from its inclusion of brothels and romantic interludes that make it clear that these characters engage in intimate relationships.
