It appears Cassian Andor is rolling in cash while others from the franchise are still pinching pennies. Disney has recently revealed the total spending for its highly acclaimed Star Wars series, Andor. While the spending is still within its budget, the total cost – $705.5 million – after an additional expense of $60.5 million ahead of the second season debut, exceeds that of any movie in the franchise (via Forbes).

With the reboot of the franchise with The Force Awakens (budget $447 million), the Mouse House cashed $2.1 billion. The follow-up, The Last Jedi ($300 million) saw the earnings plummet to $1.4 billion at the box office. The third installment, The Rise of Skywalker, dragged the earnings even further down to $1.1 billion.
Likewise, Disney spawned several series in the franchise, which didn’t have much success among the audience.
Ever since the Mouse acquired Lucasfilm, Andor has remained one of the very few Star Wars projects that is both commercially and critically successful. The first season, released in 2022, had an impressive 96% RT score. The second season, arriving after a long wait of three years, once again took the fans by storm, sitting at a 97% RT score.
The series met its destined conclusion this May with no plans to return. Andor Season 1 and Season 2 are currently available to stream on Disney.
