Are you ready for a Star Wars show with no lightsabers, no X-wings, no Jedi nor Sith? In other words, one that is unlike any you’ve ever seen?

The new Andor television series, premiering on Sept 21 on Disney+ Hotstar, takes a whole new perspective on the Star Wars universe, eschewing the fan-pleasing lightsaber duels and epic space battles in favour of a grittier, more on the ground look at the birth of the Rebellion and the growing uprising against the Empire.
