Auf den Spuren von Andor: Eine Tour zu den Star Wars Drehorten in London - PewPewPew - PewPewPew

Mein Co-Host Matthias, mit dem ich Andor in Gänze im PewCast begleiten durfte, war vor Kurzem in London zugegen und ließ es sich nicht nehmen, die Drehorte dieser großartigen Serie zu besuchen. Hier kommen Liebe für Star Wars, Architektur und Fotografie in einer wundervollen Tour zusammen, die es wirklich geben sollte. Ich darf sie mit euch hier schon vorab teilen.

Welcome to the Andor Cinematic Walking Tour in London!

(In black and white, of course – for maximum brutalist impact.)

We begin at Canary Wharf, for a bit of Rogue One nostalgia. This is where the garrison is deployed… or should be. If you watch closely, you might even spot one way out. That’s what I call foreshadowing. Well played, Mr. Gilroy.

Before we know it, Scarif transforms into Coruscant, and we find ourselves standing in front of the gates of the ISB – the Imperial Security Bureau. A perfect moment to remember the most toxic ship of the series: Dedra Meero and Syril Karn. Two lovebirds in a fascist world – or was it two fascists in a… lovebird world? Who am I to judge?

Next, we move on to Lloyd’s of London, the ideal spot to hatch a conspiracy. Luthen is already waiting there, somewhere between the pipes, lifts, and staircases – and he’s ready to burn his life to make a sunrise he’ll never see.

Our next stop is Guildhall, where we breathe in a bit of that Ghorman air, before losing ourselves in the dark corridors of the Barbican. Kleya knows every corner of this concrete labyrinth. And if we’re lucky, we might even spot Bix and Cassian blowing something up on their way to their hidden safehouse.

For the grand finale, we arrive at the site of what is arguably the most iconic Coruscant shot in Andor: the Brunswick Centre. Technically, we’re not allowed in there – but hey, this is the Rebellion, and we have no time for rules.
