Andor might be all about hiding in the shadows, sneaking past surveillance, and dismantling empires—but right now, the show is stepping into the spotlight. That’s right: the critically acclaimed Star Wars series is officially in the running at the National Television Awards (NTA) in the UK.
So if you’ve ever shouted “This is peak Star Wars!” while watching Mon Mothma out-politic her enemies or Luthen Rael monologue like he’s in a Shakespearean tragedy set in space, this is your moment. Time to put your mouse where your mouth is and vote.
Wait, What Are the National Television Awards?
The NTAs are one of the UK’s most beloved viewer-voted awards shows. Think of them as the BAFTAs’ cooler, less posh cousin—the one who actually asks what people at home are watching and loving. Unlike awards voted on by committees in dark rooms with expensive coffee, the NTAs are decided by the public.
Translation? Andor winning isn’t just about critical acclaim—it’s about people showing up. And that’s where you come in.
What Makes Andor a Strong Contender?
Let’s start with the basics: Andor isn’t your typical Star Wars project. There are no lightsabers. No Force ghost cameos. No Skywalkers awkwardly looking out over a desert. It’s a slow-burn thriller filled with paranoia, politics, and morally messy characters. In other words, it’s Star Wars for adults who like their sci-fi with a bit more intrigue and a lot less pew-pew.
From Diego Luna’s grounded performance as Cassian Andor to Stellan Skarsgård’s now-iconic “I burn my life to make a sunrise” monologue, the show has delivered Emmy-worthy acting and some of the most compelling writing in the entire Star Wars franchise.
And now, it’s time for UK audiences to help make sure the series gets the mainstream recognition it deserves.
Where to Vote for Andor (And How Easy It Is)
If you’re in the UK—or have access to a UK VPN and a healthy sense of galactic mischief—you can cast your vote at the official National Television Awards website:
The voting process is free, takes just a few clicks, and no droid ID verification required. Just scroll through the categories, find Andor in the “Returning Drama” or relevant section (category listings can vary), tick that box, and submit. Done and dusted.
You don’t even need to wear a cape like Luthen—but hey, no one’s stopping you.
Why It Matters
Let’s not sugarcoat it—awards matter. They get shows renewed. They bring in new audiences. They convince executives that complex storytelling is worth the investment.
Andor winning at the NTAs wouldn’t just be a victory for one series—it would be a statement. A message that the galaxy far, far away doesn’t need to lean on nostalgia to be compelling. That spy thrillers, political scheming, and emotionally grounded narratives belong right alongside lightsaber duels and Wookiee roars.
Plus, let’s be real: the look on Tony Gilroy’s face if Andor takes home an award voted on by the public? Worth it.
Final Thoughts: It’s Time to Rebel (With a Vote)
This is your call to action. Not to steal data tapes from the Empire, but to cast a vote for a show that dared to do something different in a franchise full of legacy stories. Andor has already made history with its critical reception and record-breaking ratings—now it’s time to give it a shiny trophy to match.
So charge up your datapad, click the link, and make your voice heard. Because rebellions aren’t built on hope alone—they’re built on action.
