ANDOR Star Diego Luna Teases Possible Theatrical Release For Season 2
It would be pretty cool if Star Wars fans get to see some episodes of Andor Season 2 in theaters on the big screen, and it sounds like there’s a chance that might happen.
During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, series star Diego Luna says he thinks that the series might come to theaters fro a fun event that would see Andor Season 2 lead right into Rogue One.
When asked about the probability of that, Luna said: "It's high…. It's very high." If Lucasfilm and Disney decided to do something like this, there’s no doubt that fans would show up to watch it.
Luna went on to say: "I'm sure someone from Lucasfilm and Disney will give us the opportunity to watch Season 2 and then go straight to watch the film on a big screen with tons of popcorn and friends around."
Luna also talked about how the series will change the way how we see Rogue One, saying: "I think people watching Rogue One, after watching season 2, are going to see a different film.
“Everything will be signified differently knowing what had to happen for K-2 to be there," Luna added. "It's going to make you witness the journey of Rogue One in a different way, I think. And not just with K-2, but with many other characters. I think it'll be really cool."
The second season will conclude the series and take us through the years of Cassian Andor's journey as a spy for The Rebellion and how he tracked down the secret of The Death Star's construction.
Creator Tony Gilroy explained how the story will play out in the final season of the series saying: “When we come back later, it’ll be literally like a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And then, we’ll jump a year, and then it’ll be, like, four or five days, and then we’ll jump a year, and then there’ll be another four or five days, and then we jump a year, and be another four or five days.”
Every three episodes in Andor Season 2 will cover one year's worth of story, and when previously talking about what we can expect from the series, he explains that it explores the stresses, heartbreak, and triumphs of the growing rebellion.
He added: "Think about the revolution, and think about it from Luthen Rael's point of view, and Saw Gerrera's point of view, and Mon Mothma's point of view.”
He continued: “They've started off as original gangsters in this thing, and it's underground, and it's secret, and it's small, and it's isolated, and contained. In four years, it's going to go big. Think about any restaurant that you knew that started off as a coffee shop, think about any startup company.
“What happens? Things get very complicated. If your stock and trade of your business is paranoia, and secrecy, and betrayal, and heavy consequences, expanding your business is really difficult."
Gilroy went on to say: "Then think about it from the Imperial side and they are getting very, very close to a very important energy project. People may have heard of it. It's an energy project.
“I guess that's not a surprise, but I think you'll see the wear and tear, you'll see all the stresses, all the heartbreak, and all the triumph of the 20 or 30 people that we're carrying forward, with Cassian at the center.
“You'll see those people stumble forward into a very complicated bit of chaos and history that we will pay attention to.”
He went on to say: "We're gonna work the calendar. There are events on our calendar and you know what they are, some of them, and they're very important, and we will play those out."
There’s still no word on when Andor Season 2 will drop on Disney+.
