New ‘Star Wars: Andor’ Spot Takes on the Empire
New spots for Star Wars: Andor keep pouring in as Disney and Lucasfilm ramp up marketing for next week’s series premiere.
This action-packed preview, which arrived via the show’s Twitter account, might be one of the most exciting yet despite its 30-second runtime. Watch it below:

This spot is all about our heroes taking the fight to the Empire and how the bad guys start to notice “an organized rebel effort.” While other previews have felt more personal and focused on each character, this one sells the increasing scale of the conflict we all know from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and A New Hope.
The most interesting seconds of footage may be those offering brief new looks at clone troopers (probably early on in the show or via flashbacks) and stormtroopers — the latter haven’t had much of a presence in the promotional material. Moreover, we get some new dialogue stating Cassian Andor’s numerous skills and how he can cause real trouble for the Empire, which is exactly what Stellan Skarsgård’s Luthen Rael is looking for. And finally, we get a handful of a new action shots, including a speeder bike chase, a sabotage of sorts, and three TIE fighters flying (one of them appears to be piloted by Cassian) as massive destruction takes place all around them.
We’re quite close to the three-episode premiere of Andor on September 21, and new spots aren’t the only material reminding audiences of what’s coming in the new live-action Star Wars show. New clips as well as extensive interviews are also hyping up what might be a really special addition to Star Wars history.
