It is "a mystery-thriller that will take the audience into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark side powers in the final days of the High Republic era." This brief teaser hints at a darker show set within the Star Wars universe.

Alan Tudyk Says That K-2SO Will Not Be In Season 1 Of 'Andor'
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story may be the most universally loved Star Wars film of the Disney era. One of the standout characters in it was K-2SO, an Imperial KX-series security droid who provided some comic relief. Reprogrammed to serve the Rebel Alliance, this droid was portrayed by Alan Tudyk opposite of Diego Luna's Cassian Andor. Back in 2019, we found out that Cassian Andor would be getting his own TV series acting as a prequel to Rogue One. More recently, on Disney Investors Day last month, the title was confirmed to simply be Andor. It has seen delays and is currently slated to hit Disney+ sometime in 2022.

Our hero Kanan Jarrus struggles to hold the lightsaber in his two hands against the barrage of his opponent’s effortless one-handed attacks. It is beautiful. The Inquisitor’s moves flow like a river in contrast with Kanan’s desperate thrashing. “In close quarter fighting, Billaba’s emphasis was always on Form III, which you favor to a ridiculous degree.” Just from the few lightsaber clashes they exchange, the formidable opponent has analyzed our hero, and knows exactly what to do to counter him.

Hot Toys Unveils Amazing Dark Troopers Figures!
If you had told me about five years ago that we would be seeing a live-action version of the Dark Troopers, I am not sure that I would have believed you. These droids were first introduced in the 1995 video game Star Wars: Dark Forces, where they were basically the menacing Terminators within that game. They were very threatening; when I encountered them in the game, I was on the edge of my seat trying not to get killed by them. Other iterations of the Dark Troopers have appeared in other media, such as 2005's Battlefront II video game, and in the animated series Rebels via the DT-series sentry droids. In the case of the latter, I did not find them very menacing, and was disappointed that this seemed like the closest that canon would ever get to trying to replicate the menace of the Dark Troopers.
