On April 14th, I was invited by Star Wars to a special sneak peek of Andor Season 2 along with a Q&A event at the El Capitan theater in Hollywood, California. It was a beautiful red-carpet event, and I'm very grateful I got to attend with my husband. Although we have already watched Andor Season 2, and very much enjoyed it, I wanted to ensure I documented this night. I hope you enjoy reading about our experience, browsing the photos, and learning more about our fits.
I styled a simple Dedra bound. She's been one of my favorite characters from the show since Season 1! I found an incredible Andor Shacket from Her Universe for Jason to wear. It's his favorite Star Wars series to-date, so this piece felt fitting!

There were themed treats, beautiful posters, and Cassian's TIE Pilot costume on display which was amazing! It's always a treat to be able to see and appreciate the costume and prop work by the designers up close. It's a totally new experience compared to seeing these pieces on-screen.
While on the red carpet, I spotted Ryan Kiera Armstrong, who plays Fern in Skeleton Crew. We had the opportunity to meet her and tell her how much we enjoyed the show. She was so darling! She was excited to be there celebrating a new Star Wars project.
It's always lovely seeing friends at these events (shoutout to Arakel, Bella, and Christina). The Star Wars community is the best! I even had the chance to see Swagmin (the administrator of the Star Wars account) who gave me a super cute bracelet that says, "Swagmin's BFF". My HEART!
I have no photo of this moment as it happened so fast but I saw Diego Luna as we walked inside the theater. I said “Hi Diego!” and he waved back and said “Hi!”. I was speechless.
As we were walking towards finding our seats, we met Mon Mothma herself, Genevieve O’Reilly, and Kyle Soller, who plays Syril Karn. They were both so incredibly kind to us. Genevieve is so much like Mon Mothma—simply charming! I’ve wanted to meet Genevieve for a while, so this was such a special moment!
The sneak peek shown to us was the first 15 minutes of the first episode of Season 2. But before that, we were shown the most beautiful recap of Season 1. We watched it for a second time last year, but seeing it again was so good, especially on the big screen. After the sneak peek, they played a trailer for Season 2, and there were many audible gasps. The event concluded with a Q&A with Tony Gilroy, Sanne Wohlenberg, and the cast. What a night! But it was about to get even better...
Ready for this? On our way out, I met THE Kathleen Kennedy! I said, “Kathleen, I’ve wanted to meet you for so long to thank you for everything.” She said “You’re welcome.” She was smiling and was very sweet. She asked if we liked what we saw. We both said yes, and then I thanked her again about two more times. I was shaking and got so choked up talking to her. She has given us so much Star Wars to love and share with others. It was such an honor meeting her. I'll never forget it! Thank you to Christina for helping me capture this moment.
