“Andor” showrunner Tony Gilroy revealed that the series will run over a five-year period, with the first season of 12 episodes, counting the first.
The revelation was given in an interview with empirewhere Gilroy also informed that the second season, already confirmed and which will also have 12 episodes, will tell the remaining four years of the story, offering the plot in which the beloved film “Rogue One” begins.
“The reach of the series is really huge,” Gilroy explains, speaking to Star Wars Celebration after the trailer’s debut. “The directors work in blocks of three episodes, so we made four blocks [na primeira temporada] of three episodes each “. After that, things changed in the second season.
“We looked at it and said, ‘Wow, it would be really interesting if we went back and used each block to represent a year. Let’s get one year closer with each block. From a narrative point of view, it’s really exciting to be able to work on something where you do Friday, Saturday and Sunday and then skip a year. “
With a very broad reach, ranging from within the Rebellion to the Empire, Andor – played by Diego Luna – is the central point of the narrative of this story, which will be more character-centric according to the actor. “‘Rogue One’ is more about an event than the characters’ true journey,” said Luna. “It’s great to start one where it’s not about where to end, but how did we get there?”
In addition to Diego Luna, “Andor” will see the return of Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma and the arrival of Stellan Skarsgård, who will play the new character Luthen.
“Andor” will premiere on August 31 on Disney +.
