One series coming to a living room or laptop near you very soon is Lucasfilm’s Andor. The original series is sure to be a hit with Star Wars fans as it follows Cassian Andor’s journey in an all-new perspective we have not seen before within the Star Wars universe.
The first three episodes of Andor will be released in a special premiere event on Disney+, with the series containing a total of 24 episodes. Theme park reporter Scott Gustin noted that during today’s Lucasfilm panel at D23, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy specified that the series will be released in two parts with 12 episodes each, and that the final 12 episodes are currently finishing up production.
