News Star Wars Andor anticipation thread

I’m so looking forward to seeing this series!

Forthwith!

Hopefully they get Jimmy Smits for an occasional appearance.

Anybody know if he's doing anything that could keep him from appearing? He definitely seems like a pretty good possibility for appearances.

He had a show on NBC this past fall that has been all but canceled, so his schedule looks open.

 

[JD]

Oh right, I forgot about Bluff City Law. I actually watched the first two or three episodes of that, and I thought it was pretty good. I just ended up getting side tracked and then forgot all about it.

It's being rumored that both Jimmy Smits (Bail Organa) and Alistair Petrie (General Draven) will be reprising their characters for this series. But so far it's just coming from sites repeating with other sites have published, no legitimate sources yet.

I hope that Jimmy Smits shows up, I love him in the West Wing, ROTS and RO

I hope Smits shows up too. He was funny in Brooklyn 99 too.

Adria Arjona to co-star. This is the first I've heard of her. She does have a few credits but nothing I've seen her in, but I will probably see her in Morbius.

I don't remember her in Pacific Rim: Uprising, but I did like in Emerald City.
Is this the first we heard about the other cast members mentioned in the article?

Nope. Scroll through the previous page in the thread.

Just read that earlier. Liked her in Good Omens, Emerald City and the other things I've seen with her in

 

[JD]

Oh, right, I forgot she was in Good Omens, she was great in that.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Wait, she was Anathema? Okay, I take it back, I saw her in Good Omens and like her very much.

Yep. That was the role I remembered her from (Though I'd seen her in Pacific Rim 2 first - I'd forgotten she was in that).

Tony Gilroy stepping back as director but will remain as executive producer and showrunner.

[JD]

I can understand not wanting or not being able to travel right now, so it makes sense to go with someone who's in the area. I'd definitely take that over having the show delayed until Gilroy is able to get to England.

Diego Luna has confirmed on Jimmy Kimmel that he is currently in London for production of the Cassian Andor series.

Nice to see these shows finally starting to ramp up.

 

[maneth]

I'm really looking forward to this one. Cassian Andor is a fascinating character and to me he's the most charismatic SW guy since Han in the OT. I'm looking forward to learning more about his past.

In London? Does that mean that they're building a new volume, or just that they they're rebuilding the Yavin base set, I wonder.

I mean at this point I'd be surprised if they don't have multiple volumes up and running by the end of the year, but I guess i assumed it'd be easier to build them all in the states.
