New Set Photos From ‘Andor’ Season 2 Show Familiar Location and Aliens
The Greenham Airbase was used as a location for Star Wars filming when scenes for The Force Awakens were filmed there in 2014 — it was the Resistance’s base on D’Qar. So it’s not surprising to see film crews gathering around the abandoned silos again, possibly filming some Rebel-related scenes for Andor season 2. The Greenham Common is located in the township of Newbury in Berkshire, England.
The local news website Newbury Today reported the event featuring video footage showing a Gigoran pacing back and forth!
This is most likely Moroff, who we’ve seen briefly in Rogue One and Andor Season 1. Also in one of the photos we can spot the back of the head of another familiar alien – the Tognath Two Tubes, who also appeared in the mentioned projects.
It was also reported that a crew member confirmed they were filming a television series, but they wouldn’t reveal any other details. This only fits with the production timeline for Andor‘s second and final season.
While Greenham Common could be doubling for D’Qar once again (we saw the Resistance using old Rebel bases in the sequels), maybe they’re just using the location to help create the Yavin IV base, which was already confirmed to be part of Andor season 2.
It was confirmed by Tony Gilroy at Star Wars Celebration Europe earlier this month that filming for the second season of Andor began in November 2022 and would be completed around August this year, with a release on Disney Plus set for roughly a year later, during the second half of 2024.
