The festival takes place roughly near when the series is set to conclude.
Some of the creatives behind the hit Disney+ Star Wars series, Andor, are set to hold a special discussion about the series at this year’s ATX Festival.
What’s Happening:
- ATX Festival has announced special guests that will be coming to the event when it takes place in May, and is sure to have some Star Wars fans ready to be on scene.
- Andor creator/executive producer Tony Gilroy and writer Beau Willimon will join the ATX festival for a discussion about constructing the world of Andor, exploring new corners of the Star Wars universe and more.
- The discussion is perfectly timed, as it will take place near the conclusion of the highly-anticipated second season of the hit Disney+ Star Wars series, which is set to begin on April 22nd.
- The ATX TV Festival is set to take place starting on May 29th through June 1st of this year in Austin, Texas.
- The one-of-a-kind festival experience brings TV fans & industry together to celebrate their favorite moments in TV as one community. The festival also includes opportunities for deep-dives into how favorite shows are made, revisit past favorites, and discover something new at "TV Camp for Grown Ups" in downtown Austin, TX.
- This year, their 14th Season, the festival showcases past, current, and upcoming series through reunions, screenings, intimate Q&As, panel discussions, events, and more. Screenings include never-aired pilots, canceled-too-soon series, current favorites, and world premieres. Panels conversations range from industry deep-dives to fan-focused conversations, along with discussions on TV's responsibility and impact on culture.
- 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.
- This final season will unfold over 12 episodes broken down into four chapters of three episodes each. The first chapter of season 2 will premiere April 22, with subsequent chapters debuting each week, exclusively on Disney+.
- 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.
