Who would’ve thought that “Andor,” a prequel/spinoff collection to a prequel film with as many highly-publicized points behind the scenes like “Rogue One,” would grow to be the very best factor this franchise ever made since Disney took over? (If anybody needed to barely nudge Rian Johnson’s “The Final Jedi” into first place as a substitute, I would not argue!) However for a collection that managed to keep away from all of the pitfalls that different “Star Wars” reveals have fallen prey to over time — particularly by remaining a self-contained story that relied on nice writing over cramming in Easter eggs and cameos — the concept season 2 of “Andor” will draw extra connections to preexisting materials we have all seen earlier than is likely to be sufficient to ship up crimson flags amongst sure followers.
Effectively, fortunately the sturdy observe document established by Tony Gilroy signifies that viewers can most likely breathe straightforward it doesn’t matter what comes subsequent. Keep in mind, season 1 introduced in a recurring character like Forest Whitaker’s Noticed Gerrera with out making it really feel like an indulgent cameo for the sake of 1, all whereas crafting an unexpectedly compelling subplot revolving round Genevieve O’Reilly’s Mon Mothma, of all individuals. If Gilroy and his writers can do the identical with, I do not know, the robotic Ok-2S0 (which voice actor Alan Tudyk beforehand talked about might be on the desk finally) or perhaps even Mads Mikkelsen’s Oppenheimer-like scientist Galen Erso, I will personally by no means cease singing the praises of “Andor.”
Who would you wish to see pop up in season 2 of “Andor”? For higher or worse, you will have loads of time to think about the chances. The premiere is prone to drop someday in 2025.
