STAR WARS Spin-Off Now in a Galaxy Not So Far Away
By Movieguide® Contributor
In a galaxy not so far away, STAR WARS spin-off ANDOR premiered on Hulu and YouTube, in addition to its home on Disney+.
On March 13, the show will host a special rewatch event with creator Tony Gilroy, as well as other members of the cast.
According to the Movieguide® review:
The first three episodes of STAR WARS: ANDOR, streaming on Disney Plus, tell how Capt. Andor of the STAR WARS movie ROGUE ONE gets involved with the Rebel Alliance. Andor is a thief living and working in the shadows. He travels to another planet to find his long-lost sister. However, two security guards accost him in an alley. During the fight, he accidentally kills one of them and then shoots the other one, a witness, dead. A young and inexperienced police inspector suspects Andor. He leads a police force to arrest him just when a spy from the Rebel Alliance is trying to recruit Andor.
The first two ANDOR episodes move slowly, but the third is action packed. The acting, art direction and editing are excellent. However, Andor is wanted for murder by the police. Also, the first three episodes have brief foul language, action violence and some innuendo. That said, they do promote an anti-totalitarian viewpoint and some pro-family values regarding Andor’s adoptive mother and missing sister. So, overall, MOVIEGUIDE® advises extreme caution for the first three episodes of STAR WARS: ANDOR.
While Hulu, which is owned by Disney, streams all the available episodes, only a select few are available for free on YouTube. The move comes just before ANDOR Season 2 — also the final season — is set to drop.
Season 2 will consist of 12 episodes, that will air in four batches of three episodes each week on Disney+. beginning April 22.
