Star Wars loves to take its time with its storytelling. Pretty much everything, from the film trilogies to the book series to the comics, is organized in chapters so fans have to come back to see what happens next. When the franchise made a major shift to television with Star Wars: The Clone Wars, this was continued through multi-episode arcs, a structure common in anime but not often seen in Western television.
When Star Wars TV shifted to live-action with The Mandalorian, this structure was more or less abandoned for more traditional one-episode adventures with greater, season-long arcs. But with Andor, the Clone Wars structure returned, and Season 2 will highlight it with a release schedule unlike anything we’ve seen before.
