“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” is headed back to Imax theaters this month — six years after the film’s initial release. But this time, it’ll come with a first look at Disney and Lucasfilm’s next streaming series, the “Rogue One” prequel “Andor.”“Rogue One” tells the story of just how the rebellion came into possession of the Empire’s plans for the Death Star in “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope,” thanks to two rebels known as Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) and Cassian Andor (Diego Luna).

Despite a fandom that has shown to be toxic at the mention of diversity and inclusivity, “Star Wars” has always had a political undercurrent throughout the franchise. I mean, it’s really about Rebels fighting against an evil Empire, huh? Remember those overt political in the prequels? Sure, there are laser sword fights and space battles for those who just want that, but “Star Wars” has a long track record of trying to be a socially-conscious, political franchise.
