Andor
Andorshowrunner Tony Gilroy has hinted at " legacy character " recasts in season 2 . The first time of year ofAndorwas unlike anything else inStar war , shun Easter testis in favor of character arcs . ButAndorseason 2takes a very different glide slope , because it is move to a part of the timeline that ’s much more well - established . We already know the show will end immediately beforeRogue One : A Star Wars Story , with Diego Luna ’s Cassian Andor leave Yavin 4 for the fateful mission that will unveil the cosmos of the Death Star .
talk toTHR , Tony Gilroy let in he hoped to populate the Rebel nucleotide with conversant characters - butthey had to forego some cameo and even recast . " Legacy characters are really crafty to get back , " Gilroy explained . " They ’re very , very expensive . A heap of time , their schedule do n’t work out . There ’s probably a duo citizenry that we need to have in Yavin at the end , who are in the beginning of Rogue , but we just could n’t get them because they were meddling . "
Why Andor Has Struggled With Some Cameos
Gilroy ’s point is one that is often overlooked . The maincast ofAndorare contracted for the show , meaning the negotiations are over . Legacy doer are under no such contract , the cameo need to be negotiated , andthere is a higher likelihood of scheduling struggle if they are working on other show . The bigger the name , the high-pitched the demand , and the more likely there are go to be problems - and that sounds to have need at least one recast .
Gilroy cautions viewers against expecting some of the bragging , more well - established characters , too . harmonize toAndor ’s Almighty , he never experienced any pressure to add them . " On the creative side , I will never have an experience like this ever again , " he continued . " It ’s just amazing that they trust us , and they backed our play all the way through . "
Our Take On Andor Season 2’s Prospective Recasts
No doubtAndor ’s scripts were subtly rewritten based on availability , but it sounds as though at least one character was too significant to be written out , meaning a recast was necessary . This is quite surprising , givenLucasfilm has often expressed resistance to recasts ; bosses have often pick the poor box office performance ofSolo : A Star Wars Storyon its Han Solo recast , which seems like something of an simplism . This has even led to implausibly expensive CGI body - look-alike being used to incorporate Mark Hamill ’s Luke Skywalker intoThe Mandalorianera shows .
It ’s possibleStar Warsis finally start to acknowledge the elementary fact that recasts are sometimes necessary . If so , this opens up some tremendous tale possibilities go forward , potentially leave some legacy characters the hazard to shine ever brighter . Andorseason 2 look as though it could be something of a trend - typesetter .
