How to watch Andor on Disney Plus: Stream Episodes 1-3 of the new Star Wars show

How to watch Andor: The Star Wars Rogue One spin-off hits Disney Plus this week with a three-episode premiere. Here’s how you can stream the new Star Wars show.

Cassian Andor was among the heroes of Rogue One, the prequel to Episode IV, arguably the best Star Wars movie since Disney bought out Lucasfilm. Now he’s getting his own prequel.

The show will focus on Captain Andor’s exploits in the early days of the rebellion against the Empire, prior to the events of Rogue One, when he is paired with heroine Jyn Erso to embark on the quest to steal the Death Star plans.

Diego Luna will reprise his role for the 12-episodes of Andor Season 1. Here’s how you can enjoy Andor on Disney Plus, starting with this week’s premiere.

When can you stream Andor on Disney Plus?

Disney is serving up a treat with a three-episode premiere for the latest Star Wars event. You can begin streaming episodes 1, 2, and 3 on Wednesday September 21. Each episode will become available at midnight Pacific Time in the United States, which is 8:00am UK time.

Episode 4 will drop a week later at the same time, and so-forth, for the remainder of the 12-episode series. Thankfully, Disney opts for the weekly release schedule, rather than the Netflix-style dump ’em all.

To watch Andor, you will need a Disney Plus subscription. Disney Plus costs £7.99 a month or £79.90 for 12 months access.

The series brings forward the tale of the burgeoning rebellion against the Empire and how people and planets became involved. It’s an era filled with danger, deception and intrigue where Cassian will embark on the path that is destined to turn him into a rebel hero.”
