Disney+'s Andor proved to be a very pleasant surprise, especially since we all know how the titular freedom fighter's, Diego Luna's Cassian Andor, story ends.
Director/writer Tony Gilroy has previously confirmed that the final episode will conclude moments before we first meet Andor in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and he's now revealed that the last three episodes will cover the three days leading up to the events of the movie.
“The risks this season will take are very different,” he tells Empire. “In every way. Look, man, I’m not trying to make a career here; if anything I’m on the downhill side of a long career. But this is an opportunity. This is 1,500 pages of the most dynamic material in these people’s lives to deal with. We got it right the first time, and you don’t want to let your foot off the gas.”
We may know Cassian's fate, but there are other principal characters viewers have become invested in, including Stellan Skarsgård’s Luthen Rael, who delivered arguably the best monologue in Star Wars history towards the end of the first season.
Rael and Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly) seem to have very different views on how a rebellion should be fought, and it sounds like they may clash during season 2.
“Some of its core ingredients are secrecy and paranoia and lack of trust and betrayal. So, how difficult is it to build a revolution?” questions Gilroy. “And what happens to the original gangsters, as other people get involved?”
