Star Wars fans who have already seen any of the new episodes of the second season of Andor, on Disney +, will have come face to face with a recognizable Catalan landscape. The Montserrat mountain range is one more protagonist of this prequel created by Disney within the Star Wars universe.
Specifically, Andor arises as a story prior to Rogue One, one of the short stories derived from George Lucas’s saga that has been better received in recent years.
In the second season of Andor, Montserrat becomes Chandrila in the state of Mothma, where Mon Mothma, a human politician and revolutionary leader and founding member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, hails from.
Andor, Lucasfilm’s Emmy®-nominated thriller, returns this April 23 with this highly anticipated conclusion. The second season is set as the war’s horizon approaches, and Cassian Andor (played by Diego Luna) becomes a key player within the Rebel Alliance.
The series is a prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, where a group of rebels steal the Death Star plans, paving the way for the events of the 1977 classic. Set five years before Rogue One, Andor chronicles Cassian Andor’s transformation from a disinterested cynic to a rebel hero destined to change the course of galactic history.
With Montserrat as one of its new locations, the series reaffirms its commitment to filming in real locations that bring realism to the saga, whose most iconic settings are located in countries such as Tunisia, Norway, or Seville’s Plaza España.
