Andor - Rogue One prequel series (Disney+) - Blu-ray Forum

ben6543 · 11-08-2018, 09:06 PM

Iger also announced that Lucasfilm is in development on a second Star Wars live-action series for Disney+ that will go into production next year. The series will follow the adventures of Rebel spy Cassian Andor during the formative years of the Rebellion and prior to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Diego Luna will reprise the role of Andor, which he originated in the 2016 film. “Going back to the Star Wars universe is very special for me,” said Luna. “I have so many memories of the great work we did together and the relationships I made throughout the journey. We have a fantastic adventure ahead of us, and this new exciting format will give us the chance to explore this character more deeply.” The rousing spy thriller will explore tales filled with espionage and daring missions to restore hope to a galaxy in the grip of a ruthless Empire. A release date for the series will be announced at a later date.

Not exactly a character I was dying to see more of, but there was definitely some untapped potential in exploring his moral ambiguity and inner struggle.

And given the timeline, I hope he crosses paths with Jabba so Diego Luna can fulfill his dream:

Characters in Rogue One had about as much personality as a box of corn flakes so no thanks.

Most of these ideas would be better in a big budget standalone movie or trilogy, not some low budget (for Star Wars standards) TV show. One of these might even be what the Weiss/Benioff trilogy is about.

The existence of this show doesn’t prevent any of those from happening.

Ooh, I hope it's a late-night comedy/talk show with guests!

That'd be fine doing shows like this then, if they were actually going to do films like that.

But instead we've got rebels (TFA), more rebels (RO), more rebels (TLJ), a smuggler film featuring rebels (SOLO), a imperial-turned-rebel video game (BF2), 4 tv seasons of Rebels, and now Resistance since the buyout. Plus another rebel movie next year (Ep 9)

I liked RO and Solo, but I am sick to death of Rebels. Where are the Jedi and the Sith, the primary idea Star Wars was built on? You don't even have to do Jedi, but there is so much potential and they insist on doing nothing but the same over and over again.

Ahh, what would a Star Wars thread be without most of the posts consisting of complaints?

Cassian Endor?

How random.

Nothing against Cassian Andor, but I would've thought a Jyn Erso TV series to be developed before his

She's an Oscar-nominee with a busy movie slate, he's apparently not. I think it's that simple.

redxrebellion · 11-08-2018, 11:50 PM

So this will explain how Cassian got a planet named after him?

bferr1972 · 11-09-2018, 12:03 AM

It seems to me that between Rogue One, Rebels and Solo, Lucasfilm is trying to build a world of interconnected storylines set amongst individual cells in the early days of the Rebellion. Although I'm glad to see that they're not abandoning this idea after Solo failed to connect at the box office, I wouldn't mind a central character in a TV series whose fate wasn't already known to us. (That old PT criticism about a lack of dramatic tension because we all know who survives into the OT and who doesn't.)

And if we're going to do Rogue One spin-offs, I wouldn't mind a series about Chirrut Imwe and Baze Malbus.

Still, I'll check this one out nonetheless...

One of the things I loved about Rogue One was it showed the Rebels weren't all squeaky clean white knights. There is a dark underbelly on both sides of war. Cassian definitely shot first when he took out his informant in that alley, without hesitation.

I am all over this and looking forward to it much more than The Madalorian. I love the idea of Cassian spying and interacting with sinister characters in treacherous places.

I think they see more potential to spinning off some of the newer characters than beloved classic characters that people will be more critical of. As for the list of other wants above, I have a feeling a few of those will show up eventually. Patience, you must have patience.
