Even though Comic-Con is mostly about finding out news from our favorite upcoming titles, the event also provides all sorts of attractions that help visitors dive deep into the universe of the movies, TV shows, and comics they love so much. We might not hear about highly anticipated Disney+ seriesAndorfor a couple more days, but we can certainly get a look at the show’s stunning costume and character design as we walk from one panel to another. The series centers around the transformation of Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) from selfish nihilist to the selfless rebel we all came to know and love inRogue One.
Disney+ decided to put on display the new droid addition to theStar Warsuniverse: B2EMO was introduced earlier this month to theStar Warsfandom and – there’s no other way to put it – it looks like this little droid has been through a lot. The sign next to B2EMO reveals he also goes by “Bee-two” or simply “Bee”, and that B2EMO has been in the Andor family for years working as a groundmech salvage assist unit. The nod to its array of mechanical tools suggests that Bee will become invaluable to Andor’s journey, much like other droids before it.
Also showcased close to B2EMO are the costumes from two of the characters from the series we’re most excited to see: title character Cassian Andor’s longcoat that we’ve seen him wear on the trailer and returning fan-favorite character Mon Mothma’s pale dress. Mon Mothma will be played once again byGenevieve O’Reilly. In the series, the Imperial Senator from Chandrila will put her life in danger as she builds up a rebellion against the deadly forces of the Empire.

Superman: The Dawn of Justice, andAladdin. He also dressed characters from high profile movies such asAmerican Hustle,The Gentlemen, andThe Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.
Andoris helmed byTony Gilroy(The Bourne Ultimatum), who serves as showrunner, writer and executive producer. Gilroy has already revealed that Season 2 of Andor isall mapped out. Aside from Luna and O’Reilly, the series will also see the return ofForest Whitaker(Godfather of Harlem) as Saw Guerrera.
