'Andor' Season 1 Recap: What You Need To Remember Before Season 2

Star Wars’ critically acclaimed show Andor is returning for its second and final season on April 22. The series became a surprise hit because it expanded on the effects of the Empire’s rule on real people, leaving lightsabers, prophecies, and the Force aside. Acting as a prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the show focuses on Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor way before his final fight on Scarif. Chronicling his reluctant recruitment, Andor tells the story of Cassian, his family, and other important puzzle pieces essential to the formation of the incipient Rebellion. Here’s what you need to remember from the 12-episode first season to be ready for Season 2.
