The trailer shows Andor flying a shuttle through explosive spaceship chases. The trailer also offered a look at co-stars Genevieve O'Reilly, Stellan Skarsgård, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough and Kyle Solle.

Fiona Shaw gets the last line of the trailer as her character, Maarva.

"People are standing up," Maarva said. "That's what a reckoning sounds like."

Andor is one of the rebels who rise up against the Empire led by Darth Vader in the original trilogy.

Andor premieres Aug. 31 on Disney+ with two episodes with new episodes weekly on Wednesdays.
