The following article contains minor spoilers for Andor Season 1, Episode 4, "Aldhani," streaming now on Disney+.
The latest star of Disney+'s live-action Star Wars series Andor has already landed her first action figure.
As part of Hasbro Pulse Con on Oct. 1, Hasbro announced two new Andor-based figures coming to Star Wars: The Vintage Collection -- one featuring Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) himself, and another featuring Vel Sartha (Faye Marsay). This announcement came just three days after Vel made her very first Star Wars appearance in the fourth episode of Andor, titled "Aldhani," on Sept. 28. Both figures are currently available for pre-order, with an approximate expected ship date of May 1, 2023.
Who Is Star Wars' Vel Sartha?
The leader of a rebel group on the planet Aldhani, Vel Sartha is described by the official Star Wars website as being, "above all else," a "survivor." A "rebel operative ever on the move," she is "willing to sacrifice creature comforts, personal relationships, and even her life for her latest mission: to infiltrate the Empire on Aldhani." In Andor Episode 4, Cassian meets Vel after Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård) takes him to Aldhani. Rael is, of course, an ally of Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly), who is herself destined to become the leader of the larger Rebel Alliance.
Andor Season 1 Is Underway on Disney+
Lucasfilm's latest Disney+ original series set within the Star Wars universe, Andor premiered its first three episodes on the platform on Wednesday, Sept. 21, with new episodes arriving on a weekly basis. Andor Season 1 is slated to run for a total of 12 episodes through Wednesday, Nov. 23. The show is set to return for a second season, which will also consist of 12 episodes.
Andor serves as a prequel to the 2016 anthology film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, with the aforementioned Luna reprising his role as Cassian Andor -- before he became a spy for Mon Mothma's Rebel Alliance and met his demise on Scarif as part of Rogue One's ultimately successful bid to steal the Death Star plans from the Galactic Empire. Andor Season 1 takes place five years before the events fo Rogue One, with Season 2 expected to cover the subsequent four years in Cassian's life.
New episodes of Andor drop Wednesdays on Disney+.
