Almost 50 years later Star Wars first started with A New Hope, Andor Season 2 is gearing up to tell the true origin story of the Rebel Alliance’s most important location: Yavin 4.

Talking to Empire, Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy reveals that Yavin 4, aka Yavin, will be a centerpiece in the next season. “So let’s tell Yavin’s story“, jokes Gilroy.”No one has dealt with Yavin the way we will.“

Given the fact that the animation Star Wars Rebels series has provided some insight into how Yavin 4 came to play the role it does, there is no doubt that Andor will be building spectacularly from Star Wars story to provide key context for one of the franchise’s most iconic locations.

Andor season 2 premieres on April 22, 2025, on Disney+.

Diego Luna stars as Cassian Andor in Andor, a Disney+ exclusive series set five years before Rogue One. The series follows the titular character as he rises from a humble thief to a revolutionary icon of rebellion against the empire. Cassian, a man trying to stay out of confrontation after the destruction of his world, is thrust into the central conflict as he naturally assumes the role of leader. Andor will explore the flourishing days of the Rebellion and highlight pivotal events from the Star Wars franchise before the construction of the Death Star.
