![]() Insistent on doing everything by the book even when his superiors tell him to knock it off, Karn finds himself escalating and ending up in awkward situations. More welcome levity comes with the villainous Karn, who is like an evil version of Star Trek: Lower Decks‘ Boimler. The accidental comedy of K-2SO is sorely missed. One seems to have heightened empathy powers, while the rest seem like interchangeable, shouty humans. Sadly, this new group proves even more boring than the Rogue One team. Unlike Rogue One, viewers know Cassian will survive because they’ve seen the end of his story. Andor himself, meanwhile, finds himself part of a group of seven on an outpost world planning a heist. The fourth episode is where Mon Mothma comes in, and we make a welcome return to Coruscant, as the narrative diverges. RELATED: Andor Did Not Use The Mandalorian’s StageCraft Meanwhile, in parallel flashbacks, the story of how he left his rainforest-like home world, Kenari, unfolds. In the present day, small-time thief Andor, looking for an escape route from the dead bodies, gets recruited into the larger Rebellion. To the extent that this show has humor, it’s a very downbeat, deadpan, British style. That it looks like a really rainy version of Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge doesn’t seem like a coincidence, especially when one tourist complains about the price of parking, and the mere notion that he’s being charged money just to come and buy more stuff. This part of the story largely takes place on the planet Ferrix, which seems a sort of fascist shopping mall/swap meet.

The bottom line of the timing is that it’s the height of the Empire. There are also shout outs to events on Mimban, Arvala 6, Scarif, and other familiar locales. For hardcore fans, it’s one of many small references to piece together. ![]() Internally, they wouldn’t know they’re that far away from the first big Rebel victory seen in Rogue One. For the characters onscreen, this means little. The year is BBY5 - five years before the Battle of Yavin - and this is the first time a live-action Star Wars has canonized that dating system onscreen.

He’s on a mission to find a lost family member, but it goes awry, leaving people dead in his wake. The opening of the first episode feels more like a Blade Runner TV show than Star Wars, with Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) walking the rain-soaked streets of commerce planet Morlana One’s red-light district, passing window-posing hookers of all species. ![]()
