Disney has used a few different tactics to promote Andor<\/a> <\/em>ahead of the debut of its second season. There was an upbeat trailer<\/a> and a free release of some first season episodes on YouTube<\/a>. But it seems like the strategy its settled on just before release is one of doomed heroism, which is a perfect fit for the only Star Wars show to get the Rebel Alliance right.<\/p>\n

The trailer itself is fairly light on plot details, but it does include the important things. For instance, we see all the rebels from season 1 are still kicking, and we know that they are indeed looking into the Death Star more directly this time around \u2014 just like the end of season 1 hinted at. We also get a look at Krennic<\/a> (Ben Mendelsohn, returning to his Rogue One<\/em> role), one of the Death Star\u2019s principle architects.<\/p>\n

More importantly than the trailer\u2019s plot, however, is its overall tone, which matches Andor <\/em>season 1\u2019s perfectly. We get appearances from Cassian himself (Diego Luna), Luthen Rael<\/a> (Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd), Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker), and more, all giving their best speeches about the importance of the Rebel\u2019s mission, and acknowledgements of how even success for their team will mean death. It\u2019s all right in line with the solemnness of the first season, and a good indication that we\u2019re once again in for some excellent television.<\/p>\n

The fact is, the Rebellion in Star Wars has often gotten the short end of the narrative stick. They mostly have their act together in A New Hope<\/em> \u2014 even if they have to get saved by Luke \u2014 but by the time we get to the end of Return of the Jedi<\/em>, they\u2019re in a bit of disarray. Then the sequel trilogy shows us that apparently they\u2019re totally inept at governing and mostly let the Empire stick around in the form of the First Order, making us wonder what we were rooting for in the first place.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Andor<\/em>\u2019s first season (and now hopefully its second) exists to show us that somewhere in the Rebellion was a group of people who understood perfectly what they were fighting for, and would do anything in their power to rid the galaxy of fascism \u2014 even if it all resulted in Palpatine returning somehow anyway. But regardless of the not-so-great conclusion to the Rebels\u2019 story in the rest of the series, at least Andor <\/em>season 2 seems to be closing this chapter out with dignity.<\/p>\n

Andor <\/em>season 2 is set for release on Disney Plus starting on April 22. <\/p>\n
