When Ewan McGregor made his surprise appearance at the D23 expo (the largest Disney fan event in the world) in 2019, you would have been forgiven for thinking that every fault line on Earth had started to move. Alan Tudyk has revealed that K-2SO will not be appearing alongside Diego Luna in Andor, but we’re going to take that with a pinch of salt. While we know how Cassian’s story ends, it’s going to be extremely interesting to see how he got to that point, and it’s probably the closest we’re going to get to a Han Solo prequel series, full of swashbuckling action and charismatic quips.
In a move that once again connects the much maligned prequel films to the current canon, Genevieve O’Reilly will be reprising her role as Mon Mothma, having previously appeared in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Alongside Diego Luna (Cassian Andor), several co-stars have been confirmed, including Stellan Skarsgård, Adria Arjona, Fiona Shaw, Denise Gough, and Kyle Soller. While little is known about the show’s plot, production is well underway and it’s set to debut in 2022. First seen in 2016’s Rogue One, Cassian Andor is a charming rebel spy, who sadly saw his end in the arms of Jyn Erso after stealing the all important Death Star plans that would one day take down the superweapon.
