The series, a spinoff of Gareth Edwards' acclaimed film Rogue One, follows its titular character, chronicling his rise as a rebellious hero.
Andor episode 7 on Disney+ is much awaited by fans
The previous episode of Andor majorly focused on the group's much-anticipated heist. Several pivotal moments that could potentially change the course of the narrative unfolded in the episode, including the death of Nemik and Skeen. The episode ends with the cunning Rael, who subtly begins to celebrate after finding out about the epic heist.
The episode was noted for its stunning visuals, relentless direction, and strong writing as it further explored the main characters' motives, backgrounds, and conflicts. Several critics and viewers consider it one of the series' best episodes.
According to Star Wars News Net, the upcoming episode is expected to be a standalone episode, as per showrunner Tony Gilroy. It'll deviate from the current storyline. It also seems to be a self-contained story, although specific details about the plot are being kept under tight wraps. As per a host of reports, the episode might focus on Andor's past, but nothing has been confirmed.
The upcoming episode is directed by Benjamin Caron and written by Stephen Schiff. With just six more episodes, fans can look forward to several thrilling and crucial events in the show as the story heads closer to its third arc.
