Adria Arjona looks radiant as she beams alongside Oscar Isaac for a screening of season two of Star Wars spin-off Andor
Adria Arjona looked radiant as she beamed alongside Oscar Isaac at a screening of the second season of Andor. The actress, 33, who plays Bix Caleen in the Disney+ Star Wars spin-off show, lead the cast in attendance for a screening of upcoming episodes on Wednesday. Adria was seen posing for snaps with Star Wars actor Oscar, who was enlisted as the host of the screening held at the Crosby Street Hotel in New York City. She looked effortlessly stylish in a figure-hugging capped-sleeved black maxi dress featuring a boat neckline and dropped back. The actress paired the simple-yet-elegant dress with black leather stilettos and her brunette locks were left down in natural waves. Other stars in attendance included Swedish acting legend Stellan Skarsgård, 73, who plays Luthen Rael in the series, and Benjamin Bratt, who plays Senator Bail Organa. Andor follows Cassian Andor, a character who first appeared in the 2016 movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The series serves as a prequel to the film in the early days after the Galactic Republic became the Empire. Three episodes of the spin-off are set to be released every Tuesday for the next three weeks. It comes after Adria attended the premiere of season two at the Lightroom in north London last month with her partner Jason Momoa. She looked incredible in a silk one-shoulder green dress courtesy of Saint Laurent and paired the dress with pointed-toe brown pumps and accessorised with a few statement rings. Meanwhile, fellow actor Jason wore a pale pink single-breasted blazer and matching tailored trousers, teamed with a crisp white shirt. Among some of the very first to react to season two of Andor was Jordan King, who put it in his 'top five' shows. He said: 'It is the best TV you will see this year, and cements the show's place in my all-time Top 5. 'It's mature, it's knotty, it's uncompromising, and it's emotional in ways you won't see coming. And *that* arc? Astonishing.' The Observer echoed Jordan and wrote: 'The second season, somehow, eclipses [the first] in an impressive fashion, building a masterful narrative arc that is undeniable in its prescience to the rising fascism around the world.' While The Daily Beast described it as 'thrillingly intricate, suspenseful, tragic and hopeful'. In a gushing review by the Daily Telegraph, Andor was dubbed 'Star Wars' earthiest instalment yet'. Variety went a step further and proclaimed the second season 'cements itself as the gold standard of what modern 'Star Wars' can be.' While Forbes wrote how it was 'brimming with intense action, suspenseful spy games and a tremendous cast of rich characters'. Among some of the very first to react to season two of Andor was Jordan King, who put it in his 'top five' shows Back in 2023, Diego Luna and Stellan Skarsgard looked somber as they filmed intense scenes for the second instalment. Luna who plays Cassian Andor was deep in conversation with Skarsgard, who plays Luthen Rael, as the pair shot the scenes. Other stars in the Faye Marsay, Denise Gough and Andy Serkis.
