  • The recap and episodes highlight Cassian’s journey and the show’s underlying tensions in the Star Wars galaxy.

Disney has unveiled an impressive Season 1 recap for Andor on YouTube, but there’s more! Not only that, they’ve made available three episodes from this Star Wars series on their platform, allowing viewers to watch them at no cost without needing a Disney+ subscription.

The buzz surrounding Star Wars is stronger than ever, with anticipation soaring for the second season of Andor. Recently, a Season 2 trailer and a Special Look featurette were unveiled to fuel excitement about the upcoming installment of the Rebel Alliance’s saga. As of now, Andor is the only Star Wars project slated for release in 2025, and Lucasfilm is ensuring it receives the attention it deserves. Despite initially being considered a smaller show on Disney+, Andor has earned critical acclaim and become a beloved favorite among fans since its premiere in 2022. It even gained recognition with Emmy nominations, such as Outstanding Drama Series in 2023.

Starting now, you can watch the first three episodes of Season 1 for free on Star Wars’ main YouTube channel – “Kassa”, “That Would Be Me”, and “Reckoning” from the series Andor. It’s refreshing to see Disney-Star Wars showing strength and confidence, especially after the mixed reception of The Acolyte in 2024. With the brand taking a hit, fans have been somewhat disconnected from the franchise, but this year, it seems everyone – casual viewers and long-time fans alike – are finding common ground with a production that has become Star Wars’ flagship streaming show.

In this recap of Season 1, we get a glimpse into Diego Luna’s character Cassian Andor’s evolution since the series began. The comments made by Luthen (Stellan Skarsgard) in the trailer, “We are not who we were when we started,” resonate even more deeply after rewatching these episodes. This sentiment perfectly sums up the main theme of Season 1, as a character with extensive knowledge about changing hearts and minds in this tough galaxy sets the stage. The recap starts with Andor shooting down two Corporate Tactical Forces soldiers, while one pleads for mercy. Throughout the show, this ruthless, survivalist side has been a defining characteristic of Luna’s portrayal. Characters like Vel Sartha (Faye Marsay) have often labeled him as a “mercenary.

In the previews for Season 2, released in the Special Look trailer, fans will see Cassian standing up for his character and history against Luthen, who belittles him by saying “You’re acting like a thief“. However, Cassian retorts strongly, demonstrating his transformation into a true rebel: “I’m acting like a soldier“, indicating the progress he has made. He firmly asserts his loyalty to the rebellion.

“Everything I did. I did for the Rebellion.”

As a dedicated movie enthusiast, I must say that Andor’s recap skillfully redirects our gaze back to the show’s palpable, simmering anxieties. The galaxy of Star Wars is gripped by a tense political atmosphere in Season 1. The inhabitants of Ferix are oppressed under the growing shadow of Imperial control. Mon Mothma, amidst the core of this authoritarian regime, must tread carefully with every word she speaks. Yet, it also highlights how the show’s villains are suffocated by a rigid Imperial bureaucracy, unable to break free from its oppressive grasp.

Disney presents an excellent opportunity for Star Wars enthusiasts who don’t have a streaming subscription to delve into the origins of Cassian and witness the flame that sparked numerous personal upheavals. Make sure to check out the first three episodes of Season 1 on YouTube, which are accessible for viewing immediately.

Andor Season 2 will be streaming on Disney+ on April 22.
