With little less than a month to go until Andor‘s return, Lucasfilm has released a new trailer for its second and final season, teasing the grand sacrifices to come in the name of Star Wars‘ fight against the Empire.
If the first trailer for the season struck a more rock n’ roll tone for its feelings of revolution, this second trailer is much more in line with the vibes people expect from Andor. Punctuated by the dramatic, blaring tone of Star Wars‘ iconic Imperial klaxon, there’s high drama, high stakes, and a lot of questioning of just what Imperial and Rebel alike are willing to sacrifice in the name of the brewing war to come.
The trailer largely expounds on things we saw and spotted in the first—more Rogue One action as Saw’s partisans begin to flourish and Krennic’s plans for the Death Star become clearer and clearer, the show’s depiction of the fundamental turning point in the Rebellion’s formation, the Ghorman Massacre, and even a bit more of Mon Mothma’s return to Chandrila for Leida’s wedding.
But a much stronger theme this time is the Imperial’s own fight back against the growing insurgency—the pressure that places on both sides as tensions get higher and higher. We get haunting shots of Imperial carriers and capital ships in the skies, Stormtroopers running around, and a snifter more of what Dedra and Syril alike are going to be up to this season. It’s all good stuff, and even if we know where it’s all going, seeing how Tony Gilroy and his team fit the pieces together is shaping up to look like something rather special.
Andor returns to Disney+ April 22, releasing in three-episode installments across four weeks.
