Speaking of droids, Andor’s partner-in-crime from Rogue One, K-2SO, will not be returning in the first season, but the former enforcer droid’s voice actor, Alan Tudyk, has said that discussions have taken place about him being in the second season.Īnother character that may return at some point in the show, although we’ve had no confirmation as of yet, is Alderaan Senator Bail Organa (Jimmy Smits) – a Rebel leader alongside Mon Mothma and the adoptive parent of Princess Leia. We can expect lots of cantankerous fun from Bee-Two. Lucasfilm have revealed a new droid (opens in new tab), B2EMO (Bee-Two, or just Bee, for short), who is described as an “old and weary groundmech salvage assist unit.” Bee-Two’s body is scarred and bashed up, and we see the droid briefly in the trailer trundling through what looks like a devastated city or base.

In the trailer we also see actor Anton Lesser (Qyburn from Game of Thrones) playing a high-ranking Imperial officer dressed in a white uniform. Other actors taking part include Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller and veteran Irish actress Fiona Shaw, who we see at the end of the trailer telling someone off-camera “that’s the sound of a reckoning.” Like Luna and O’Reilly, Forest Whitaker also returns from Rogue One playing his character Saw Gerrera, and he will have at least one scene with Luthen, according to Skarsgård. Stellan Skarsgård (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Avengers, Dune) is playing a character called Luthen, who in the trailer appears as though he may be a Rebel leader and a possible associate of Andor’s.

Joining him is Genevieve O’Reilly, playing senator and secret Rebel leader Mon Mothma. Mexican actor Diego Luna returns in the title role, having previously played Cassian Andor in Rogue One.
