Andor Official "Andor" Series Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

Honestly I expected them to be called "Cassian Andor" and "Kenobi" respectively. I was a little surprised to see "Obi-Wan Kenobi" as a show title.

 

I just hope he's allowed to touch him.

 

The forest moon of Andor.

 

They are going to have to do some deaging with Cassian. Even during Rogue One, while is character was 26yrs old, he could pass for someone older.

And Andor takes place several years before Rogue One.

 

I don't think the real life age matters much (or him looking a few years older here, for that matter). Something like that certainly doesn't affect my enjoyment taking Better Call Saul as a prequel to Breaking Bad, and all of the BCS actors are a lot older than the characters they are playing at this point (and are starting to look older in BCS than in BrBa). Age is very, shall we say, slippery in The Mandalorian as well. Compare Din and Boba, who were children as the Clone Wars raged, to Bo-Katan who was an adult. I'm not going to be bothered if Diego Luna looks a bit older in Andor than he did in Rogue One. There are so many other things they can put that money towards that would be bound to affect my enjoyment of the series a whole lot more.

 

I wonder if that fella that he murders in Rogue One will be in it. It's gonna be weird for Disney to have a show about a dude being radicalised.

 

He was already “radical” when he was a child

 

This is one of the shows in most excited about. After seeing the sizzle reel it only increased that excitement.

I hope they do go down the route of making this show very gritty and exploring the darker side of the rebellion following on from the lines in Rogue One about being saboteurs and assassins.

Anything that blurs the lines between the simple good vs evil of the empire vs the rebellion will always be a winner for me

 

Maybe if the cassian andor series does become successful we could get spin off tv shows based on it like what is happening with the mandalorian.

 

I have a feeling this is going to be some of the highest-quality Star Wars we’ve ever seen.

 

And let’s also hope more high quality of the rest of the 9 Star Wars projects to become a hit so after those are done more and more Star Wars tv shows and movies to also become quality

 

Will this finally be the first live action Star War to not show a lightsaber? Or will there be another gratuitous Sith appearance?

 

Also a lightsaber didn’t appear in the Ewok movies

 

Tivik. I would love to see more of him. Daniel Mays is a fantastic actor. I've been a fan of his since the show "Outcasts" and was really excited to see him get a role in Star Wars, even though it was very short lived.

 

Nothing in Rogue One says he's that age so I doubt it'd even come up unless they would go as far as making it a story point. It's one thing to have someone in their mid-30's be mid-20's but trying to pass off 40 as half that is too much for a regular role like this.

It depends when the series is supposed to be set (some mention it's about 5 years prior). It doesn't have to be some distinct time anyway. Just a few years before R1 is plenty of room to play in if the series is supposed to go several seasons.

It's far more interesting for the character to be a teenage during the Clone Wars anyway.

That's Hollywood stroke. Obviously everyone from John Knoll to Gareth Edwards and all the other writers had a hand in Rogue One of which this is a distinct prequel. At the same time of course it's all based on what Lucas had already created so it all comes back to him anyway.

It's exactly in line with the kind of thing he likes to do. Bourne, Beirut and his other work which deals with the ethical dilemma's of characters. It also is smart business because he can do this for a time then line up other projects that he has a more personal connection to.

 

We know he’s been in this fight since he was 6 years old. Whatever that would imply

 

I've always thought it meant that his family were Separatists and he's been fighting the corrupt government since before it became the Empire. It seems like that is pretty much his canon story. Which means that he could, at most, be 28 years old.

 

Melshi. We need Melshi to make a appearance. (Doesn't need to be related to RO).

Do NOT give Disney these ideas.....

 

Disney Buried Jar Jar. He appeared once in the new canon

 

Considering they were filming in London, I think there's a good chance Daniel Mays and Duncan Pow (Sgt. Melshi) might appear.

Talking of de-aging, Forrest Whitaker coming back would be great if unlikely.

 

Oh, I basically count on that. Forrest has done Saw in Rebels and Fallen Order. The character shows up all over the place and he has a very useful role to play in terms of setting up the line that Cassian and his morally grey ilk won't cross.

And there's actually a sort of missing plot thread regarding Saw and Geonosis, that starts in Rebels, and then later, so far offscreen, he gets bombed with anti-Geonosian insecticide that causes him to need the breathing gear.

 

I think this is one the shows i'm most excited for. Can't wait for more early rebellion.

 

Why do I keep seeing rumors Doctor Aphra will appear in this?
