Star Wars: Andor Leaks Reveal Season 2 Filming In Futuristic Location
Andor, the Disney Plus series, which many fans now consider some of the best Star Wars content, is making some nice progress on its second season, and some leaked shots offer an enticing look at what viewers can expect. Thanks to a filming location in a pretty futuristic-looking locale, the upcoming season already appears to be maintaining the show's impeccable sense of style.
Andor season 2 is set to span a much longer time frame, and according to newly leaked footage, at least part of that lengthy Star Wars story will take place in a truly unique-looking city area. That area is Valencia, Spain, which features a cultural center that looks right out of any number of sci-fi shows or movies. A set of sneaky shots and videos captured by nearby onlookers reveal footage that could easily be in-universe given the setting. But where exactly will these scenes be set?

One source is Twitter user Greyhame, who recently posted several excellent sneak peeks from Valencia. Notably, a squad of Imperial stormtroopers can be seen marching towards the imposing cultural center, inside of which appears to be several dignitaries and rich folk one would expect from such a setting. Another set of images comes from Reddit user untaljordi, who posted them on the Star Wars Leaks subreddit. While less clear than the Twitter counterpart, these photos still provide interesting perspectives.
In the Reddit post, the user speculates that one shot may feature the limousine owned by Genevieve O'Reilly's AOC-inspired senator Mon Mothma, though it's difficult to tell for certain. The Twitter post is more telling, featuring wide views of the Valencia cultural center with clear shots of stormtroopers and others. But the Reddit photos offer a look at both striking buildings seemingly being used for the new season of Andor. Clearly, there's some political aspect to the footage being shot there, but it may not necessarily be just more scenes on the Imperial capital Coruscant.
Some users in the Reddit comments suggest that Valencia is being used for scenes set on Mon Mothma's home planet of Chandrila. It certainly seems to match mentions of the world in various other Star Wars media, and it would make sense as one of several ways to introduce new characters in Andor season 2. The series is, after all, a political one. Granted, its initial draw was the radicalization story of Diego Luna's Cassian Andor before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. However, viewers quickly fell in love with many other characters to the point where Cassian barely featured in a few episodes. Bold move in a show named after him.
Andor is the perfect rebellion story, and a good rebellion needs something powerful to rebel against. As beautiful as Valencia is, it provides the perfect backdrop for the sorts of elites whose oppressive policies inspire the downtrodden to rise up. Here's hoping it's just one of many gorgeous visuals audiences get to enjoy when Andor season 2 finally arrives.
Andor season 1 is available to stream on Disney Plus.
