This past Monday, Disney headed to Mexico City as part of its promotional tour for the new second season of the Disney+ Original series, “Andor: A Star Wars Story”.

The second season of “Andor” takes place as the horizon of war draws near and Cassian becomes a key player in the Rebel Alliance. Everyone will be tested and, as the stakes rise, the betrayals, sacrifices and conflicting agendas will become profound. Rife with political intrigue and danger, the series is a prequel to “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” which portrayed a heroic band of rebels who steal the plans to the Empire’s weapon of mass destruction—The Death Star—setting the stage for the events of the original 1977 film. “Andor” sets the clock back five years from the events of “Rogue One” to tell the story of the film’s hero, Cassian Andor, and his transformation from disinterested, cynical nobody into a rebel hero on his way to an epic destiny.  

Stars Diego Luna and Genevieve O’Reilly participated in a Q&A and walked the red carpet before attending the exclusive screening of “Andor” Season 2- Episode 4 at the Antara Cinemex in Mexico City.   The director of the final three episodes, Alonso Ruizpalacios, was also in attendance at the event.       

The two stars met with the Los Diablos Rojos Baseball Team, where each was gifted a personalised jersey. Then Luna, to the delight of fans, stepped up to the mound and threw the first pitch.

Here are some photos from this event:

“Andor” Season 2 stars Diego Luna, Stellan Skarsgård, Genevieve O’Reilly, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Alan Tudyk, Faye Marsay, Varada Sethu, Elizabeth Dulau, with Ben Mendelsohn and Forest Whitaker.
