Great news, we’re well under a year from the release of The Art of Star Wars: Andor (The Complete Series) by author Phil Szostak, and that means we’re getting both seasons of the show in one volume, penned by the writer of the excellent The Art of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, The Art of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and season one and season two volumes of The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian. Interestingly, Szostak’s bio also mentions his work on the oft-spoken of Star Wars: 1313, but for now let’s get excited for another sift through the sublime silt that made Andor such an essential and gripping story to follow for those incredible 24 episodes.

The Art of Star Wars: Andor (The Complete Series) gives readers an exclusive inside look at the production art, visual development, concept art, creature designs and FX, graphics, props, and more that went into creating the Tony Gilroy helmed Disney+ series.
Through extensive interviews with Gilroy, star Diego Luna, and the talented Lucasfilm visualists, author Phil Szostak documents every step of Andor’s production from discussions following the initial release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story up through post-production on the final episodes of season two.
With deep dives into the locations that defined the series, including Kenari, Ferrix, Aldhani, Narkina 5, Mina-Rau, Ghorman, and Yavin 4, among many others, this essential volume celebrates the legacy of all twenty-four critically acclaimed episodes and the hurdles the filmmakers, cast, and crew had to overcome to bring their vision to life.
Every facet and detail of the Rebellion and Empire’s inner workings and the day-to-day existence within the world of Star Wars that Andor lovingly depicted are explored in great detail along with reflections on the series overall and its espionage roots and political relevance. The lived-in, battered costumes, ships, and locales that are so crucial to the DNA of Star Wars are on full display in this volume alongside the elegant formalism of the Galactic Senate and Coruscant.
Every piece of concept art—from ISB uniforms to Ferrix workwear to sleek speeders to the sterile prison cells of Narkina 5—has a tactility that leaps off the page. Cassian Andor’s journey from thief to spy to rebel to martyr, and the stories of his allies, uneasy partnerships, Imperial schemes, and galactic revolution took audiences on an emotionally resonant adventure and The Art of Star Wars: Andor spotlights the exceptional work that made it all possible.
Stay tuned as always, as we’ll be reviewing the ever-loving heck out of this, and if you’re in any way interested in the making of Andor, keep checking back for updates regarding the footage filmed by All The Cool Stuff at last months AndMore event in Fordingbridge, and also stay alert for news of future events.
