When Disney announced Andor, a sprawling prequel-to-the-prequel about Cassian Andor’s adventures before Rogue One, it had a lot going for it. Tony Gilroy, the mastermind behind reshoots for Rogue One, a two-season deal of 12 episodes each, a cast of returning actors like Diego Luna and Genevieve O’Reilly, and new faces like Stellan Skarsgard and Fiona Show were all promising highlights.
The series was still seen as risky, as a small-scale Star Wars story with no Jedi or Sith was the opposite of what the franchise is known for. But Andor was a critical darling that racked up eight Emmy nominations, and now, ahead of its second season, Tony Gilroy has revealed something unique about Season 2 that promises even more greatness on the horizon.
