Empire Magazine’s January 2025 issue looks ahead to the new year, and features Diego Luna, Genevieve O’Reilly and Ben Mendelsohn on the cover in their roles as Cassian Andor, Mon Mothma and Orson Krennic in the second season of Andor.
The subscriber cover is a dark vision of the Death Star looming behind the Rebel Alliance symbol, over the pyramids of Yavin. Illustrated exclusively for Empire by @nadamaktari.
This month’s issue of Empire takes a world-exclusive deep-dive into the long-awaited return of Andor – speaking to Gilroy and his cast on what to expect from the time-hopping second and final season. Inside, we talk to Gilroy, Diego Luna, Genevieve O’Reilly, and Denise Gough about upping the ante for Cassian, Mon Mothma, and the dreaded Dedra Meero as the Rebel fleet grows in power. And we talk to Ben Mendelsohn, because – yes – Rogue One’s sneering Imperial boss Orson Krennic is back, back, back, ready to throw his weight around as the Death Star approaches completion. All that, and we have never-before-seen images, in a major world-first dive at the most exciting show in the galaxy.
Read Empire’s full cover story on Andor Season 2 – speaking to Tony Gilroy, Diego Luna, Genevieve O’Reilly and Ben Mendelsohn on the final chapters of Cassian’s story – in the January 2025 issue, on sale Thursday 21st November. Pre-order a copy online here.
