Tony Gilroy is set to return to the galaxy far, far away for Disney+'s upcoming Cassian Andor show.

The Bourne Legacy filmmaker, who co-wrote Gareth Edwards' Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and was then brought on to helm the extensive reshoots (although many consider him to be the film's ghost director) for the 2016 Star Wars movie, will now pen the pilot script and direct an undisclosed number of episodes of the prequel series.

Plot details are still under wraps, but we do know that the show will focus on the early days of Andor (Diego Luna) and his droid sidekick K-2SO (Alan Tudyk) before they joined the Rebellion.

The Americans producer Stephen Schiff will serve as showrunner on the untitled series, which is one of three live-action projects Lucasfilm is developing for Disney+, along with The Mandalorian and an Obi-Wan Kenobi series starring Ewan McGregor.

@regularmovieguy -



Could you please give us your reasoning why this show, "Sounds Pretty Whack"?

Or should we assume that this comment was just another, "someone's douche'y comment due too their hyper sensitive feelings"?

Cassian Andor was a boring character...this show just sounds like content filler.

Chill out, bro 😂

@regularmovieguy - I have a pretty strong personal bias against prequels, especially ones that aims to focus on a cryptic character's origins, so yeah, whack is a word I would choose.

It's a shame, though, since I really like Luna and thought Andor had potential. I may end up liking this show a lot more than I did Rogue One by just ignoring the movie even exists.

I love spy movies. I love spy shows. Putting a spy show in the Star Wars universe easily gets my eyeballs and my wallet.

I hope they add Jimmy Smits as Bail Organa.

Would be nice to see Saw Gerrera or Rebels characters.

On the one hand it's set in one of the rare acceptable-for-me time periods and features Alan Tudyk.

On the other hand it's a prequel-prequel centered around a character I vaguely liked during his one appearance and now remember basically nothing about except his final fate.

They'd need a Black Widow calibre supporting cast to even get me curious.

I trust the guy, but they should really make this about the rebellion instead of Andor and K2SOs time before

Why this guy? He was just there most of the time. The actor is good but the character was nothing. Why not a show on someone likes young Dooku or prebot Grievous.
