The show’s second season debuted Tuesday to high praise from critics and viewers, many of whom commented on the plot’s relevance to current events.

But “Andor” has been a much-needed hit for the “Star Wars” universe. The first season of the Diego Luna-starring series (a prequel to the popular 2016 film “Rogue One”) generated critical acclaim and was nominated for Outstanding Drama Series at the 2023 Emmys. It returned for its second and final season on April 22.
