‘Andor’ Episode 8 Review: ‘Narkina 5’

Toby Haynes returns to direct the latest episode of Andor, scripted by Beau Willimon, where the Empire continues to exercise its full power over the galaxy. It is the beginning of yet another three-episode arc after the deviation from that structure that episode 7 gave us last week, and once again, it feels as mostly set-up for what’s to come.

The seventh episode followed the traditional three-act structure, with a beginning, middle, and end, while Narkina 5 is very much the beginning. And yet, the overall cohesiveness of the episode was beautifully achieved, with Willimon still managing to include some set-ups that were later paid off in most of the subplots in the episode, and through masterful editing happening all around. And those cameos too!…

Star Wars Casts Yaddle In Disney+ Show

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

Bryce Dallas Howard has become a mainstay in the Star Wars universe as she continues her impressive career in Hollywood. While she’s best known as an actor for roles in movies like Spider-Man 3, Rocketman, and the Jurassic World trilogy, Lucasfilm has allowed her to expand her resume with credits as a director as the galaxy far, far away moved to Disney+.

Her work on the streaming network has been an overwhelming success for Lucasfilm, starting off with Chapter 4 of The Mandalorian in 2019 as she worked herself into the Star Wars family. She was then brought back to direct Chapter 11 the following year along with an episode of The Book of Boba Fett in 2021, and reports have indicated that she already has more on her plate for the Mandoverse’s future.

And now, Howard also gets the chance to flex her acting chops for the first time with Lucasfilm, as she confirmed in her latest post on social media….

Andor Just Recycled A Last Jedi Scene

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

Andor has captured the attention of Star Wars fans across the world. The latest Disney+ series may not have the same gigantic audience as the likes of Obi-Wan or The Mandalorian, but it’s being hailed critically as the best of the bunch.

It certainly came as a surprise to many, seeing as how the show stars a character who wasn’t even the lead of his debut movie. Yet, he’s now managing to lead some of the best storytelling in the franchise.

While it’s previously been touted that the series is very much telling its own contained story, there have still been plenty of Easter Eggs for fans to uncover. After all, with the show being about the birth of the Rebellion, it’s going to have to connect to some things.

However, now an unexpected connection between the show and a big movie has been revealed—and it involves the polarizing film, The Last Jedi….

Disney Prevents Kennedy From Announcing New Projects

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

It’s no secret that the lack of Star Wars news to come from either Celebration or the D23 Expo has been a major disappointment. The franchise’s television future on Disney+ is relatively clear for the next few years, though the theatrical waters remain murky. Any anticipation for film announcements has been met with Lucasfilm’s trademark secrecy.

Such a tight-lipped approach at Star Wars Celebration was particularly perplexing, given the nature of the event and the lack of positive motion picture developments in recent years. Much of the studio’s main presentation was spent discussing the Willow series and Indiana Jones 5 – a bonus for fans of those properties, but an irritation for people in Jedi cosplay who payed top dollar to attend.

While a more general presentation at D23 is acceptable and unsurprising, the Star Wars segment of Lucasfilm’s time on stage only provided updates for shows that could be done in tweets. The roof was far from blown off the building, and the Star Wars faithful expected nothing less. As head of the company, Kathleen Kennedy naturally draws the most ire for these lackluster episodes… but it may not entirely be her fault…

An Upcoming Andor Betrayal Spoiled?

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

Andor has been quite a surprise for audiences around the world. Cassian Andor, who wasn’t even the lead character of Rogue One, somehow not only has scored his own show but has some fans hailing it as some of the best Star Wars content to date. Yes, even above projects such as The Mandalorian and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Viewers are nothing short of enthralled.

Somehow, the series is already over halfway through its 12-episode first season. Time sure does fly by whilst watching engaging political maneuvering and tension-filled heists.

But what might these last few installments have in store for fans? Well, a new trailer seems to potentially reveal a massive betrayal that may happen before the show’s freshman run is complete…..

Jedi Fallen Order 2 Gets Release Update

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

Earlier this year, fans were treated with the first glimpse at Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts’ Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order followup, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The sequel to 2019’s Star Wars epic has fans itching to get back into control of protagonist Cal Cestis as is “challenged in ways that we haven’t seen” before.

Survivor debuted with a teaser trailer back at Star Wars Celebration in May and instantly had fans diving into a flurry of questions. Who was in the bacta tank? Why is Cal bearded? Was that the Grand Inquisitor?

But the biggest question of all was when is this next-gen game coming? No official release date has been announced for the title, but rumors (and internal EA documents) have pointed to it hitting store shelves sometime before March 2023. However, the radio silence surrounding the project has gamers around the world worried that the Star Wars epic could be the victim of a delay, something insiders are saying seems unlikely….

Bad Batch Season 2 Poster Shows…

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

New Star Wars: Bad Batch Season 2 Poster Shows Off 5 Main Characters

Even though Andor‘s 12-episode first season has passed its halfway point, Lucasfilm has more Empire-period storytelling waiting in the wings. Premiering on Disney+ on January 4, 2023, is Season 2 of Star Wars: The Bad Batch which is expected to continue exploring the state of the galaxy post-Order 66.

Apart from it being animated, The Bad Batch stands apart from both Andor and Obi-Wan Kenobi in that its cast is made up of clones. While Season 1 focused on how an experimental squad of clones dealt with the aftermath of Revenge of the Sith and the young, female clone, Omega, the trailer for Season 2 not only teased Emperor Palpatine and Commander Cody but a new design for Clone Force 99.

Now, just a few months out from The Bad Batch‘s sophomore season, a new poster is offering a better look at the cast’s new threads….

Lucasfilm Loses Senior Exec

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

Lucasfilm has released a substantial amount of Star Wars series exclusively on Disney+ since The Mandalorian began streaming in 2019. In that time, shows such as The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi have seen a massive amount of success on the streaming platform.

In the coming years, the Disney+ release schedule will be even more packed, as nearly a dozen series are confirmed to be released. However, many fans have had complaints about the film side of the franchise, which has been completely bare since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker.

Disney and Lucasfilm have had plans to keep the galaxy far, far away on the big screen, but that journey has been rocky up to this point.

The first movie to follow the end of the Skywalker Saga was supposed to be Rogue Squadron, which was going to be directed by Patty Jenkins and would’ve released in December 2023. The film was announced all the way back in 2020 but never seemed to have any real developments until it was scrapped from Disney’s release schedule in September.

With the future of Star Wars films still up in the air, a Lucasfilm Senior Executive, Michelle Rejwan, has recently stepped down from her position, adding to the uncertainty that lies ahead….

Andor Trailer Spoils Return

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

When an Andor series was first announced, many fans were confused. What could a show about Cassian Andor from Rogue One be about? After all, he wasn’t even the lead character of that film.

To everyone’s surprise, the series has already been a hit with critics, with many already hailing it as some of the best content from the franchise on Disney+.

Yet, Cassian’s story is still missing one fan-favorite aspect: K2SO. The droid was first introduced in Rogue One and was voiced by Alan Tudyk—however, he has yet to show up. This isn’t too surprising since it was previously confirmed by the actor himself that he wouldn’t be in the series’ first season.

With that said, it hasn’t stopped the most recent episode from blatantly teasing the droid’s eventual involvement….

Ahsoka Gets Exciting Filming Update

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

The upcoming Star Wars series Ahsoka will carry forth the story of the Togruta ex-Jedi, presumably as she continues her search for Ezra Bridger.

Along for the ride is none other than Sabine Wren, seemingly making Ahsoka as much of a Star Wars Rebels sequel as it is a standalone project. Actress Natasha Liu Bordizzo will bring the colorful Mandalorian warrior to life alongside Rosario Dawson’s take on the title character.

The show began production earlier this year with a targeted release date set for sometime in 2023, and it seems Bordizzo has very recently fulfilled her commitments to the Disney+ series….

Data Reveals Andor’s Audience Struggles

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

Andor may feature a familiar character from a familiar Star Wars story, but Lucasfilm’s latest series for Disney+ is unlike any other fans have seen on the streamer thus far.

In addition to its 12-episode seasons with time jumps, Andor stands apart in that it’s more for adults than kids in both its content and complexity and is not a continuation of Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau’s ongoing Mando-Verse.

Instead, Andor is a product of Rogue One writer Tony Gilroy, and the first production to forgo The Volume and StageCraft for on-set locations.

But even though it differs from the likes of The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian, audience response to these differences has been overwhelmingly positive. In fact, many already consider Andor one of the best Star Wars series to date.

However, while the Diego Luna-led series appears to be winning with fans and critics, it appears to be struggling in terms of audience demand.

How Andor’s Demand Compares to Other Disney+ Star Wars Series

According to Parrot Analytics’ Brandon Katz, data suggests that, despite Andor‘s success with fans and critics, audience demand for the series has been significantly lower than other Star Wars Disney+ series at relative points in their releases, including The Book of Boba Fett:

“The most disappointing trend I’ve come across recently is how audience demand for Andor is overwhelmingly lower than The Mandalorian S1-2, The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi despite the fact that it is easily the best Star Wars series BY FAR.”

Katz’s claim of how the demand for Andor is “overwhelmingly lower” than Lucasfilm’s other Star Wars series when they were airing can be seen in the graph below…

How Andor’ Will Break Season 1’s Formula

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

With half of the first season available to the world, Andor has quickly become one of the most pleasant Star Wars surprises. Lauded by fans for its mature approach and exceptional writing, Tony Gilroy’s series is setting the bar higher for all live-action content to come.

Part of the show’s appeal has been the breaking of new ground with the exploration of various original characters, made possible by a familiar story structure. Fans of The Clone Wars are well accustomed to the arc formula, which devoted three or four episodes to tell a larger, interconnected narrative. Andor has done so similarly, having focused the first three episodes on Ferrix and the subsequent arc on the Aldhani heist.

It’s a format that’s largely here to stay – particularly with Season 2, which will devote an arc per year in the Star Wars timeline leading directly into Rogue One. But there will be a slight shake-up before this approach becomes permanent. While discussing the remainder of the series, Gilroy indicated that the forthcoming episode will stand on its own….

Andor Season 2’s Crossovers Teased By Cast

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

Andor has been packed with one of the biggest Star Wars ensemble casts ever put to screen, with characters new and old tagging along for the Rebel adventure. Sitting at the heart of it is Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor, exploring his Rogue One hero years before joining the Rebel Alliance as he evades the wrath of the Empire.

At the crux of the mission to arrest Andor is Kyle Soller’s Syril Karn, a Deputy Inspector working for Preox-Morlana under the Empire. He may be the one with his heart set on hunting down Andor right now, but he isn’t the only Imperial in the picture, with Denise Gough’s Dedra Meero also trying to climb the ranks.

Between the two Empire stories, Cassian’s own travels across the galaxy, flashbacks to his youth, and the inception of the Rebel Alliance, Andor has plenty of stories working separately and simultaneously. Now, two of the series’ villainous stars have opened up about how they will all connect in the future….

Disney Confirms 10 Actors For Tales Of The Jedi

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

In just over two weeks, Lucasfilm Animation will return with a new Star Wars project in Tales of the Jedi. A series of six anthology shorts, Dave Filoni wrote the stories to kill time during flights to Los Angeles for the production of The Mandalorian; with the beautiful animation work being done for The Bad Batch, the Man in the Cowboy Hat had to get his hands on more of that medium himself.

Officially revealed at Star Wars Celebration in May, Tales of the Jedi will dedicate three episodes each to two figures who strayed from the Jedi path: Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku. A trailer shared at the event and now available to view online features the leads alongside other Star Wars icons, like Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu, and Darth Sidious.

For a generation of fans, every Saturday morning saw these heroes and villains appear on TV screens in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. While the journeys of Ahsoka and Dooku in that era were largely believed complete, the anthology series will delve into more of what the characters’ lives were like before and after the war. As part of Lucasfilm Animation’s latest effort, an ensemble of voice actors are returning for their roles….

Unsurprising Actor Reportedly Cast For Ahsoka

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

She’s no Jedi. But she’s also not the only star of her 2023 Disney+ series, Ahsoka.

When Rosario Dawson brought Ahsoka Tano into live-action in The Mandalorian, her mission was made clear: she’s on the hunt for Grand Admiral Thrawn and likely Ezra Bridger as well.

Since it’s confirmed that Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren would be joining the Disney+ cast, it appears that Dave Filoni’s Ahsoka is shaping up to be a Star Wars: Rebels live-action reunion. But ever since Dawson’s Ahsoka namedropped Thrawn, the question has been who Lucasfilm will cast to play the iconic antagonist.

Despite the fact Ahsoka is currently filming, Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni kept Thrawn’s casting under wraps throughout Star Wars Celebration and the D23 Expo.

But now, a new rumor just may have the answer….

Did Star Wars: Andor Just Tease A Major Jedi Cameo?

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

Leading up to Andor‘s three-episode debut, the Star Wars fan base was expecting the series to be a stand-alone story in more ways than one.

In addition to being a spin-off and a prequel to 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, where audiences already know the fate of its primary character, Andor was seen as a passion project by showrunner Tony Gilroy.

Now, even though Gilroy penned Rogue One, he isn’t as deep into the Star Wars lore as Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, nor was Andor intended to be a continuation of their Mando-Verse.

Therefore, few fans were expecting Skywalker connections or the presence of a Jedi. In fact, it was up for debate as to whether Vader would have a role or even ignite his saber.

But as Andor continues to impress fans and critics with its brilliant subtlety and quality, the show has surprised the same with its Jedi references and potential connections.  …

Russian Doll co-creator Leslye Headland will serve as showrunner of the series. In addition, The Acolyte is being described as an action thriller with martial arts elements and it is said to be female-centric.

While a release date has not been set in stone, behind-the-scenes photos from The Acolyte revealed that the Star Wars series is beginning preparations for its production.

Christian Bale Has 1 Star Wars Role In Mind

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

Christian Bale is back in the public eye thanks to his run with Marvel Studios in July 2022, where he played the villainous Gorr the God Butcher in Thor: Love and Thunder. He became one of the highlights of a film that was largely seen as a critical disappointment, getting the chance to deliver a terrifying performance opposite Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman’s Gods of Thunder.

Bale is also highly praised for his performance on the DC side of things, with his run as Bruce Wayne in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy still earning acclaim a decade after it concluded.

Even for everything Bale has accomplished in his career, one franchise he hasn’t yet joined is Lucasfilm and Disney’s Star Wars saga, which continues to expand on Disney+ while its theatrical return is still some time away. Recently, Bale looked at the idea of joining the galaxy far, far away, although the role he would want to play isn’t exactly the one that most fans would expect from the Oscar-winner….

First Look At Star Wars: Skeleton Crew

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

The Mandalorian caused a major shift in Lucasfilm’s Star Wars strategy. No longer were movies its focus—now all eyes were on Disney+. Of course, there was Pedro Pascal’s Mando, with both The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi following. Ahsoka and The Acolyte are also on the way. Among all of these upcoming offerings, however, is one that was a surprise to many: Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.

The series stars Jude Law, alongside three other kid actors (Ravi Cabot-Conyers and Kryiana Kratter rumored to be amongst them) and is created by both Jon Watts and Chris Ford. The entire idea of the show was pitched to Jon Favreau by Jon Watts during the production of Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The only plot information known to the wider world is that it will take place around the same timeline as The Mandalorian and follow a group of kids lost in the galaxy, trying to make their way back home.

There’s only been one proper look at the series, which was thanks was a single photo from D23 that didn’t reveal all too much. Now, thanks to a video from the set, fans have a new peek behind the curtain….

Disney+ Boss Gets Candid About Show Cancellations

Here’s the latest from: The Direct – Star Wars

Disney+ has been experiencing incredible success ever since its launch in 2019, and this was mostly due to the influx of content from Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed that streaming for the studio is “100 percent the future,” which was further proven by the consistent arrival of small screen projects, such as Loki and Moon Knight. However, one discussion point that fans have been talking about is the renewal chances of these shows.

So far, Marvel series like Loki, I Am Groot, and What If…? have received second-season orders while The Mandalorian and Andor have multiple Disney+ slates under their bag, to begin with.

This leads to rampant speculation on whether other shows, such as Ms. Marvel and Moon Knight will receive a Season 2. Some have theorized that they would be canceled in favor of big-screen appearances.

Now, a Disney+ executive has addressed this matter….
