The final trailer for Star Wars: Andor series was finally released during the recent D23 Expo 2022, and among the highlights in the trailer was one that a lot of longtime Star Wars Animation fans really loved: seeing the Phase II Clone Troopers in live-action.
A lot of Star Wars fans know that the bridge between the Clone Troopers of the Republic and the Galactic Empire’s Stormtroopers. The Star Wars: The Bad Batch animated show has delved deeper into what it meant to see the Republic era end, and the Empire starting to phase clones out in favor of obedient ne’er do wells and other desperate people collected or coerced into Imperial service.
You can check out the final trailer of the Star Wars: Andor series below:
The new Star Wars timeline’s "Reign of the Empire" era (The Bad Batch, Solo, Andor, Star Wars comics) has given us a perspective of seeing the Empire unfold through its earliest days. Phase II Clone Troopers are the epitome of that era: Clone Troopers being repurposed into Imperial service, with the armor that became an iconic Stormtrooper armor we know and love. It is one thing to witness the Clone Troopers all acting in obedience after Palpatine enacted Order 77; it will be even more unnerving to see them acting in live-action as a collective swarm, as the Empire gains hold of more and more key territories in the galaxy far far away.
As Stormtroopers are a big part of Star Wars culture as lightsabers are, getting to see the Phase II Clone Troopers in live-action for a significant time is going to be a very nice expansion on the Star Wars lore. As of now, we just need to wait for the release of the series to see our beloved Clone Troopers back in action.
Star Wars: Andor cast includes Diego Luna, Fiona Shaw, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Stellan Skarsgård, Robert Emms, and Genevieve O'Reilly. The Andor series will be premiering its first three episodes on September 21, exclusively on Disney+.
