Critics are loving Andor Season 2 in their reviews

Andor Season 2, released April 22, 2025, on Disney+, has received universally positive reviews from critics.

Julian Lytle of RIOTUS said, “Andor is right now the best Star Wars thing by a long mile, and it feels like the first time they’ve completely succeeded in making something for the fans who grew up in a post-Star Wars world and not just something that works on nostalgia.”

Rodrigo Perez of The Playlist called it “counter-intuitively bold” and “audacious in just how mannered, nuanced, and smaller-scale the narrative is without sacrificing engagement.”

Karl Quinn of The Age said, “Not all the Star Wars spin-offs have justified their existence, but Andor does that and so much more. By the time it ends, it has not only delivered in spades, it has made the entire web of stories feel more coherent, rounded and real.”

Lupe Rodriguez Haas of CineMovie.tv said, “While not built for casual viewers, Andor Season 2 rewards longtime Star Wars fans with a slow but deliberate story that deepens the lore. Gilroy avoids cheap fan service, opting instead for smart, grounded storytelling and morally complex characters.”

Zaki Hasan of the San Francisco Chronicle stated, “Andor challenges what Star Wars can be while honoring what it has always been at its core: a story about hope in dark times.” Matthew Jackson of Looper.com said, “It’s the best Star Wars series by far, a triumph for Lucasfilm, and a masterwork within one of genre’s most venerated franchises.”

Andor Season 2 almost gets a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score
