It only takes watching the first teaser for “Andor” to know that the latest “Star Wars” series is very, very different than the other Disney+ releases from the galaxy far, far away.

With Star Wars: Andor coming out in September of this year fans have been waiting very patiently for Cassian Andor to appear back on screen after his debut in Rouge One: A Star Wars Story. For those of you who are not aware of who Cassian Andor is, he is one of if not the best spy the Rebel Alliance has and is one of Senator Bail Organa’s and Mon Monthma’s favorite Rebel operatives. In the clip below Cassian Andor is talking to a client as Andor is selling the man stolen Imperial goods. As they are in the middle of a transaction the man asks Cassian Andor how he got these goods as Andor brushes the question off he replies by saying “You just walk in like you belong.” The clip is said to be from the three-episode premiere set to release on September 21st.

Four long years after it was initially announced, “Andor,” the Disney+ series and prequel to “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” is nearly upon us. Created and showrun by Academy Award-nominated writer/director Tony Gilroy (“Michael Clayton,” “The Bourne Legacy”)—the filmmaker credited with rescuing ‘Rogue One’ after he came on board to write and direct major reshoots and then overseeing the post-production process— the series debuts in September, but we’ve been fortunate to get a little taste.

Tony Gilroy didn’t want to make a prequel to “Rogue One.” The 2016 “Star Wars” feature, which Gilroy co-wrote, is itself a prequel, detailing how a ragged crew of rebels, led by spy Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), steal the plans to the Death Star. They succeed, but (spoiler alert!) they all sacrifice their lives doing so — an uncharacteristically dour ending for a “Star Wars” endeavor. The production was also infamously troubled, with Gilroy, who wrote four “Bourne” movies and directed “Michael Clayton,” stepping in to helm extensive reshoots in place of director Gareth Edwards. When the result was a massive hit, grossing just over $1 billion worldwide, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy was eager do more “Star Wars” movies with Gilroy.

Four years ago, Academy Award-nominated writer/director Tony Gilroy (“Michael Clayton,” “The Bourne Legacy”) had an idea. It was two years after the release of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”—a film Gilroy joined in the middle of making to assist and then came on board to write and direct major reshoots and then oversee the post-production process.

John Boyega is opening up about his experience with Star Wars.

Star Wars animated shows have driven the franchise very far for many years. The Clone Wars brings in a now fan-favorite character Ashoka Tano, Rebels leading the way for Kenobi and the Fallen Order series, and the most recent is Star Wars: The Bad Batch.

Even though you can trace John Boyega’s real Hollywood breakout back to his role in “Attack the Block,” it wasn’t until he showed up in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” that the actor became a household name. And it’s because Boyega is a fine actor and is one of the best parts of the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy, that fans were shocked and saddened to see his role as Finn keep diminishing with each new film.

Ewan McGregor knows Star Wars fans very well from the rough criticism he got from the prequel movies to the newfound love of the fans that grew up with those movies. One thing McGregor has always said is that Star Wars leaks are bad for the community.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi’s Return – check it out below.Set to be released on September 8 as part of Disney+ Day, the documentary charts Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen’s return as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker respectively for the first time since 2005 film Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge Of The Sith.A synopsis reads: “This insightful documentary from Lucasfilm and Supper Club explores the return of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to the screen – and Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen to their respective classic roles.

Ewan McGregor appears to be responding to Mark Ruffalo‘s recent comments about Star Wars.

It seems that Ewan McGregor is firing back at Mark Ruffalo after he recently dissed “Star Wars” while praising the MCU. 

In late 2019 a new Star Wars game was released called Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Fallen Order was a dark soul-type single-player story-based game made by EA studios that took place after the events of the Clone Wars. It had the players take control of Cal Kestis, a Jedi padawan who survived the dreaded order 66.

Earlier this year it was announced that Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (also known as KOTOR) was getting a complete remake. Fans were overjoyed with the news as most played the original growing up and now they can relive it as an adult and with better graphics. Recently it was announced that KOTOR was in serious trouble, so serious that the game had to be delayed indefinitely.

A few months ago we got a cinematic trailer for the sequel Jedi: Fallen Order with the new title of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. With Fallen Order being one of the best Star Wars games to come out in a while Jedi Survivor has a lot to live up to not feel like a repeat of its predecessor.

“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” is headed back to Imax theaters this month — six years after the film’s initial release. But this time, it’ll come with a first look at Disney and Lucasfilm’s next streaming series, the “Rogue One” prequel “Andor.”“Rogue One” tells the story of just how the rebellion came into possession of the Empire’s plans for the Death Star in “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope,” thanks to two rebels known as Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) and Cassian Andor (Diego Luna).

Marvel Cinematic Universe and called out Star Wars for being repetitive.The actor responded to criticism that there could be too many Marvel films and television shows, saying it’s “not something I worry about.”“I understand that these things run their course and then something else comes along,” Ruffalo said of the Marvel franchise in an interview with Metro.“But the thing Marvel has done well is that, inside the MCU, just as they do with comic books, they let a director or an actor sort of recreate each piece to their own style, their likeness. Marvel generally lets them bring that to the material.”Ruffalo went on to name the Star Wars franchise as an example of another project that he believes doesn’t have the same originality.“If you watch a Star Wars, you’re pretty much going to get the same version of Star Wars each time,” Ruffalo said.“It might have a little bit of humour.

Mark Ruffalo doesn’t think there’s too much Marvel content in the world today because he says MCU projects are unique whereas the “Star Wars” franchise — which, like Marvel, is often accused of creating too much content — produces films and TV shows that are pretty much the same each time.

“She-Hulk: Attorney At Law” premieres on Disney+ next week, and it’s the latest of almost a dozen MCU series to hit the streamer in less than two years. It begs the question: is Marvel releasing too much content? MCU mainstay Mark Ruffalo doesn’t think so and even took a dig at the rival “Star Wars” universe to explain why.

Zack Sharf Are there too many Marvel movies and TV shows? “Lost” and “Watchmen” showrunner Damon Lindelof recently said he’d like to see fewer Marvel movies made so that “each one that [comes] out [feels] a little bit more special,” but Marvel stalwart Mark Ruffalo isn’t too concerned. The actor is reprising his role of Bruce Banner in “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” one of nearly a dozen MCU TV series that have launched on Disney+ in less than two years. Ruffalo doesn’t think Marvel’s output needs to be capped.“It’s not something I worry about,” Ruffalo said when asked by Metro.co.uk if there too much Marvel content.

Back in 2020, Oscar Isaac gave the “Star Wars” universe a great kiss-off when he quipped that he wouldn’t do any other films set in a galaxy far, far away “unless I need another house or something.” He was just as blunt about “Star Wars” on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival last year, too. When asked why he wanted to star in Paul Schrader‘s “The Card Counter,” he replied, “I’ve been in green-screen space land for quite a few years and I was desperate to do a character study.” Enough said, Mr.

Zack Sharf Oscar Isaac appears to have changed his course when it comes to a possible return to “Star Wars.” The actor played fan-favorite Poe Dameron in the most recent “Star Wars” trilogy with Daisy Ridley’s Rey and John Boyega’s Finn, but he ended his run burnt out and doubtful that he’d ever return for more. However, Isaac recently said during a SiriusXM interview that he’s “so open” to more “Star Wars” as long as “there was a great story and a great director.”“I don’t know.
