Up top, the streamer announcedplans for 10 new Star Wars shows, but it didn’t take long for the details to start pouring in.
In addition to revealing anew series for Ahsokaand the return ofAnakin in theObi-Wanseries, Lucasfilm revealed that the long-developed Rogue One prequel series will be called Andor, it’s got an incredible ensemble cast, and it’s officially started filming, which means they were also able to trot out the first footage.

And even though we may know his character meets a grim fate in the film, as the actor promises in the teaser, “There’s tons of possibilities to explore, it is the building of a revolution.”
But I’ve really been burying the lead here because they also announced some new castmembers andohmygodFiona Shawis going to be inStar Wars, and that is the kind of “hell yes” good news we need in these trying times.
