Will Star Wars: Andor live up to the hype?

As we head into the final quarter of 2022, the world’s biggest entertainment franchises are going head to head. HBO struck first with Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, and then Amazon followed up with The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. So it was only a matter of time before Disney got involved.

Just as well for them then that they have one of the most lucrative licenses of all time at their disposal. From 21st September onwards, the latest series from a ‘Galaxy Far Far Away’ will be released on the Disney+ streaming platform. That’s right, we’re talking about Star Wars: Andor. Let’s face it, the huge Star Wars fanbase has been more than a little disappointed with the franchise’s most recent episodes, but the dramatic Andor trailer has nevertheless captured their imagination. Lucasfilm had announced an Andor spin-off series as far back as 2018.
