If it looks like a very long time since Andor premiered, that’s as a result of by TV requirements, it has been. Star Wars followers with a Disney+ subscription took within the first half of Cassian Andor’s prequel story from September-November of 2022, and two and a half years can have handed by the point Season 2 arrives on the 2025 TV schedule. Fortuitously, there’s solely two months to go till the wait concludes, and following the discharge of the primary Andor Season 2 trailer, I additionally surprise if the Star Wars collection will lastly present an essential occasion in Noticed Gerrera’s life that I’ve been questioning about since Forest Whitaker first performed him in Rogue One.
Earlier than I begin discussing my idea, let’s watch the preview for the subsequent batch of Andor episodes on the upcoming Star Wars TV reveals slate, which can chronicle the 4 years between the tip of Season 1 and the place we discover Diego Luna’s character at first of Rogue One:
From the return of Ben Mendelsohn’s Orson Krennic and Alan Tudyk’s Okay-2SO, to spending extra time with Andor mainstays like Stellan Skarsgård’s Luthen Rael and Denise Gough’s Dedra Meero, this trailer teases quite a bit to look ahead to in Season 2. Nonetheless, it was the shot on the high of this text and the scene that concludes the trailer that has me suspecting that Andor goes to indicate how Noticed Gerrera’s lungs have been broken.
You’ll recall that in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Noticed’s armored go well with had a breath masks connected from which he steadily took in supplementary oxygen. Nonetheless, we by no means be taught why he has a lot bother respiratory, and it finally doesn’t actually matter since Noticed was killed on Jedha shortly after reuniting with Jyn Erso. Moreover, in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars: The Dangerous Batch (voiced in these two reveals by Andrew Kishino), Star Wars Rebels, the online game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Andor Season 1, Noticed has no challenge respiratory. So what occurred to his lungs?
For those who look carefully on the finish of the Andor Season 2 trailer, Noticed Gerrera doesn’t have the respiratory masks connected to his garments, however he saying inspiring phrases to somebody sporting a respiratory equipment. If I needed to guess, this episode will see Noticed being uncovered to some sort airborne substance that eats away at his lungs a lot that he’ll by no means have the ability to breathe unassisted once more. That explains why the opposite individual has that equipment on: they have been capable of defend themself in time, Noticed wasn’t.
Assuming I’m right, I’m curious to see when it will happen in Andor Season 2, which premieres April 22. Till then, be happy to maintain your self occupied in a galaxy far, far-off by streaming the Star Wars motion pictures so as or any of the opposite Star Wars TV reveals on Disney+.
