We didn't get a first trailer for the second season of Andor during D23 Brazil over the weekend, but Lucasfilm has now shared the first official footage from the Star Wars series as part of a new promo video highlighting a number of the projects heading to Disney+ next year.

The teaser is only about 10 second long, but it shows the returning Bix Caleen (Adria Arjona) telling Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) that they "need a pilot," and Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård) encouraging Cassian to stop being a solider and become a leader.

We also have a couple of promo stills, one of which features Cassian's former Imperial Droid sidekick K-2SO (voiced by Alan Tudyk).

For many Star Wars fans, Andor is still the best Disney+ show Lucasfilm has produced, and even though we know how Cassian's story ultimately ends (spoiler alert: not well), there's a lot of excitement for is upcoming second season, will reportedly lead directly into the events of Rogue One.

During an appearance at this year's ACE Superhero Comic Con (via The Popverse), Luna shared his enthusiasm for the show's return, while confirming that we will see other characters from Rogue One during season 2.

“I can tell you, Rogue One is coming, so there will be characters there that you will recognize. There will be cool stuff. For those who love Rogue One, this season is going to be very special. And it’s going to be fascinating to go straight to Rogue One after watching this second season, because you will see Rogue One from a different perspective. I promise you that.”

“It’s fantastic,” Luna continued. “The only thing I can tell you is what happens at the end. It’s the world upside down. That’s the only thing you don’t talk about in an interview, but here we all know what the end is. I can tell you one thing, Tony Gilroy is a fantastic writer, and he created amazing characters that we got to meet in Andor season one. It’s going to be a very rich second season, because all those stories matter today. It is a true ensemble piece. It got very complicated in season one, and everything has to get resolved. Every story matters.”

It was initially assumed that Luna was referring to K-2SO, but according to The Playlist, Ben Mendelsohn will also be back as villainous Imperial Officer Orson Krennic.

Director Alonso Ruizpalacios, who will board season 2 along with Ariel Kleiman and Janus Metz, mentioned Mendelsohn's name among some of the actors he was looking forward to working with. He also revealed that he will helm the last three episodes of the 12-episode series.

We don't have many other details, but we have heard that Mendelsohn will likely show up towards the end of the season, which would make sense given the timeframe.

Andor follows thief-turned-rebel spy Cassian Andor during the five years that lead to the events of the two films, exploring how he becomes radicalized against the Galactic Empire and how the wider Rebel Alliance is formed.
