Andor, the acclaimed thriller, returns for its long-awaited conclusion. The twelve episodes of Season Two will carry the story of Cassian Andor and the emerging rebel alliance over the climactic four years that lead to the discovery of The Death Star and the events of Rogue One.
Season One followed Cassian's reluctant journey from cynical nobody to revolutionary volunteer. Andor Season Two will see him transform from soldier to leader to hero on the way to his epic destiny. From the very first scene, Cassian's story has activated an ever-widening ensemble of allies and enemies. Season Two will see these relationships intensify as the horizon of galactic war draws near. Everyone will be tested and, as the stakes rise, the betrayals, sacrifices and conflicting agendas will become profound. Who will live to see their dream realized? Who will realize what that dream cost?
Andor Season Two stars Diego Luna as Cassian Andor, Adria Arjona as Bix Caleen, Genevieve O'Reilly as Mon Mothma, Denise Gough as Dedra Meero, Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera, Stellan Skarsgård as Luthen Rael, Alan Tudyk as K-2SO, Kyle Soller as Syril Karn, Faye Marsay as Vel Sartha, and Ben Mendelsohn as Orson Krennic.

The Tarkin, or the Tarkin Project, was an Imperial superweapon modeled in principle after the first Death Star battle station and named in honor of the late Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin. The Tarkin combined the first Death Star's offensive capabilities in the form of a planet-destroying ionic cannon superlaser with a defensive shield generator and a set of engines. Imperial engineer Bevel Lemelisk designed the Tarkin, at the behest of Emperor Palpatine following the Death Star's destruction at the Battle of Yavin, as a prototype weapons testbed for the construction of the Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer, a massive warship armed with a ship-mounted superlaser. With technological refinements, the Tarkin improved upon the mistakes learned from the first Death Star, including the absence of the single design flaw—an exposed thermal exhaust port—that proved to be the original battlestation's undoing, in the name of the development of a second Death Star, built concurrently with the Tarkin.
The Empire secretly began constructing the Tarkin in the Patriim system, above the garrison planet Hockaleg, under the supervision of Admiral Nod Warfield. In 3 ABY, following the Battle of Hoth, Imperial Grand Admiral Martio Batch requisitioned the Tarkin's destructive superlaser to smash the planet Aeten II—the only ever offensive application of the Tarkin superweapon—releasing millions of the planet's deeply buried stygium crystals into space, which Batch gathered to recreate the stygium screen cloaking device for his TIE Phantom development project.
Once learning of the Tarkin's existence shortly thereafter, the Rebel Alliance dispatched an elite commando team consisting of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa, the Wookiee Chewbacca, and the droids C-3PO and R2-D2—the only Rebels to have been aboard the first Death Star and survived—to the Patriim system to infiltrate the Tarkin and destroy the superweapon from within before it could be completed. Despite the presence of the Dark Lord Darth Vader and a traitorous group of the superweapon's commanding officers, who sought to both kill Vader and stop the Rebel saboteurs, Organa drew upon a recollection of the original Death Star's technical schematics to rewire the Tarkin's superlaser firing mechanism to fire on itself. The Tarkin later self-destructed upon activation of the sabotaged superlaser in a failed attempt to obliterate the Rebels as they fled from the battlestation. (Read more…)
