Star Wars: Andor: Close-up behind the scenes pictures of Cleveleys set as seafront transformed

Cleveleys seafront has undergone a sci-fi makeover in preparation for the filming of Disney's new series Star Wars: Andor.

Production crews understood to be E&E Industries at Pinewood Studios, who have previously been tied to Star Wars, have arrived for eight days of filming for an officially unnamed 12-part series.

Although they have declined to confirm what they are filming for, reports suggest the production could be for Star wars: Andor - an upcoming television series created by Tony Gilroy for Disney+.

Set five years before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the series follows rebel spy Cassian Andor during the formative years of the Rebellion.
