It\u2019s been a whole year since the first chapter<\/a> of\u00a0Andor\u2018s second and final season released. There are plenty of amazing moments<\/a> to look back on\u2014that TIE Avenger theft, Dedra and Syril being weird little domestic freaks<\/a>, and of course, Mon Mothma deliriously cutting a rug<\/a> on the dancefloor. But as always,\u00a0Andor leaves us thinking and asking a lot of questions, even now. And right now, there\u2019s really only one big one on our minds.<\/p>\n

Where the\u00a0hell is that Blu-ray?<\/p>\n

This week, Disney physical media collectors were alarmed to learn<\/a> that part of the dramatic job cuts<\/a> at the House of Mouse recently have led to a consolidation that completely wiped out Disney\u2019s home release publicity team. While discs will still be printed, of course\u2014the layoffs mean that Disney\u2019s theatrical publicity teams will now handle home release promotion as well\u2014it was enough to spook people, especially for a company as notorious as Disney about keeping things locked up in its \u201cvault\u201d for so long, and especially with the ephemerality of streaming<\/a> meaning that shows can be punted off a platform with little warning, leaving no way to watch them legally in the process.<\/p>\n

That probably won\u2019t happen to\u00a0Andor, at least. The backlash would be furious, for starters, given the show\u2019s critical acclaim, and Disney has enough things to be yelled at about lately. There\u2019s also the precedent of the first season already being out on Blu-ray as well, and the studio has slowly but surely been trying to complete its physical releases of its Marvel and\u00a0Star Wars shows at least. But it took Disney just five months from the end of Andor\u2018s first season<\/a> to announce and release<\/a> it on Blu-ray, whereas, thanks to the more truncated release of season two, we\u2019re 11 months on<\/a> from season two\u2019s conclusion with not even an announcement in sight. So it\u2019s understandable that people might be a little anxious about Disney rolling out the physical release!<\/p>\n

But even beyond the fact that we\u2019ve been waiting and are getting impatient about owning some of the best Star Wars around without needing a subscription fee, Andor\u00a0season two deserves to be seen in the best format it can be seen in. And while Disney+ is perfectly cromulent in that regard, it is certainly not the best format for a show that just looks as gorgeous as\u00a0Andor does. Outclassing many of its sister\u00a0Star Wars shows visually and even managing to give some of its cinematic counterparts a run for their money, season two especially is some of the best-shot and -directed Star Wars\u00a0we\u2019ve ever gotten.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s yearning to be available on formats that can put their best visual foot forward, so we can pause and rewind and pore over all those stunning locations and designs, from the white sheen of the Senate exterior to the dense jungles of Yavin IV to the horrific chaos on Ghorman. It needs reams of behind-the-scenes bonuses to show us what it took to bring it all together and tie a bow on Andor at large. It demands a very pretty steelbook covered in art of, presumably, Diego Luna doing something extremely cool. But above all, it\u2019s vitally important that we at least get the chance to have\u00a0all of\u00a0Andor in a format that does not leave it to the whims of streaming media\u2019s threatening impermanence.<\/p>\n

If we could wish for anything this close to\u00a0Star Wars Day, it\u2019d be to have this.<\/p>\n
