WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for the first three episodes of Andor, streaming now on Disney+.
"Shit" has finally hit the Star Wars universe thanks to the three-episode premiere of Andor on Disney+.
Posted to Twitter by various viewers, the clip, which you can see below, comes from "Episode 3." In it, Sergeant Linus Mosk of the Corporate Tactical Forces of Preox-Morlana is in pursuit of Cassian Andor, the show's protagonist. "Shit. We're under siege," the character, who is played by Alex Ferns, says. The event is noteworthy as, generally, Star Wars has avoided using real world swear words, instead substituting in things such as "poodoo" for words like shit.
What Is Andor?
Set prior to the events of 2016's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Andor follows the titular character, who eventually joins the Rebel Alliance against the Galactic Empire. According to showrunner Tony Gilroy, the show will jump ahead a year every three episodes, meaning Season 1 will cover four years of the character's life. Andor has already been greenlit for a second season, which will cover the remainder of the period leading up to Rogue One. Additionally, Diego Luna, who plays Andor, has said the project will be his last adventure in the Star Wars universe.
In Rogue One, Andor joined Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones), Chirrut Imwe (Donnie Yen), K-2SO (Alan Tudyk), Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed) and Baze Malbus (Jiang Wen) that stole the plans for the Death Star from the Empire. While the crew lost their lives in the process, those plans eventually helped the Rebel Alliance destroy the Death Star, their first major victory in the war.
At the time of writing, Andor has met with positive critical reception. Currently, the show holds an 88 percent on Rotten Tomatoes among critics, with the audience score just a little lower at 81 percent. Viewing numbers are not at present available for the show, though will likely be released in the coming weeks.
The first three episodes of Andor are available to stream now on Disney+. The next episode, which will be directed by Susanna White from a script by Dan Gilroy, is set to release on Sept. 28, with subsequent episodes following on Wednesdays.
