Andor’s Season 2 Arc Will Lead to Rogue One Mega Responsibility

Almost everybody liked the primary season of Andor. Simply put, it was an enthralling and participating season of tv, in contrast to something we’d seen earlier than in Star Wars. However, like many issues in Star Wars, we will’t lose sight of the very fact it’s a prequel and, as such, does should construct to sure issues.

In a brand new interview, Andor star Diego Luna talked about the important thing issues his character, Cassian, should study earlier than we first meet him in Rogue One—wright here he’s about to search out out the largest piece of data the Rebellion has ever obtained and is tasked with fixing the issue: getting the plans for the Death Star.

“The responsibility he takes on at the beginning of Rogue One is huge,” Luna instructed Collider. “Imagine what has to happen for someone to say he’s the right person to do it. ‘Cassian Andor is going to be the person we’re going to trust with this.’ There’s a lot for him to discover and a big transformation to come. He’s really far from that. The [Cassian] of episode 12, it’s so far from that, but the spark is there. There’s an awakening and it has happened. Now we need to witness four years of the life of this man.”

Four years which, we all know, are going to be instructed a 12 months at a time in three-episode mini-arcs when season two airs, most likely someday in 2024. That’s how Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy has structured the second, and closing, season: as 4 mini-stories, every with a couple of 12 months in between, ending with Cassian heading to the assembly the place he learns concerning the defection of Bodhi Rook and the Death Star. We can’t wait to see the way it all goes down, and Okay-2SO after all.
