If you haven't seen Andor , one of the best Disney+ Star Wars TV shows , then you no longer have an excuse, as the first three episodes have been made available to stream for free.

The episodes were released on the Disney+ YouTube account yesterday (March
11) and have already amassed thousands of views, with the first episode,
titled 'Kassa' clocking up 100,000 watches at the time of writing.

Fans have been delighted that more people can finally watch one of the best Disney+ shows , with many praising the move on social media. But it's not
just YouTube where Disney is sharing its hit Star Wars series. Watch episodes 1-3 of Andor Season 1 on Disney+ YouTube.

Disney has also added the entire first season of the prequel series to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story to Hulu in the US, which means all 12 episodes of
Andor season 1 are streamable to anyone who doesn't have a Disney+
subscription but is signed up to Hulu.

However, Hulu subscribers will only have a brief window to stream the 30-to-60-minute long episodes, as Disney has said that it will remove them
from the service on April 22.

That's the same day as the premiere of Andor season 2 , with the first three episodes being released on Disney+, so it makes sense that Disney would want
to attract potential new subscribers away from Hulu after hooking them on the show. The critically acclaimed, Emmy-nominated first season of Andor
captivated audiences everywhere.

Why is Disney+ making Andor available for free?

To get more eyeballs on the show, of course. It's essentially a solid
marketing strategy that has worked for a lot of the other best streaming services too. Apple TV+ is known for making the pilot episodes of some of the best Apple TV+ shows available to stream for free.

Even Netflix, which hardly needs much help attracting new subscribers, has employed this tactic, making more than 30 episodes of its documentary shows free on YouTube , as well as recently making its happiest show Pokmon
Concierge more widely accessible.

Fans widely acknowledge Andor as the best Star Wars TV show on Disney+ , with some claiming it's better than popular spin-offs like the animated Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars: The Clone Wars series or even the Goonies- reminiscent Star Wars: Skeleton Crew .

By allowing more people to watch the first season, Disney is hoping that
it'll draw in more fans by the time Andor season 2 is released next month.
That said, taking on multiple subscriptions isn't cheap but handily there's
a limited-time Disney+ deal running in the US right now (details below).

To top it all off, Disney is hosting a live Q&A with the creator of Andor
Tony Gilroy and some of the cast from the second season tomorrow (March 13). You'll be able to tune into the chat from 12pm PT / 3pm ET / 7pm GMT / 5am
AEST on the YouTube channels of Disney+, Star Wars and Hulu.

With so many different ways to stream Andor before its second season debut, I don't doubt that Disney will have another huge streaming hit on its hands.
