Why series’ star wars

We will have to wait until next year to see “Star Wars” to go back to the big screen, but the galaxy is far back to television this month when “Andor” arrives at Disney+. Diego Luna returns as Cassian andor to end what he started in Rogue One back in 2016 (and, more precisely, what he started in 2022 when he made his first show’s first season). For many fans and critics, “Andor” is the best of the fact that “Star Wars” could offer on television today. Given this, the creator of the show Tony Gilro attributed his existence some other than Baby Yoda, he is a grogu.

In a recent interview with EmpireGilro discussed “Andor” season 2 ahead of its premiere at Disney+ at the end of this month. During the conversation, Hillo explained that the “Mandalors”, which was the first show of “Star Wars” in live actions, helped to pave the way for other serials, such as “Andor” to exist:

“Mandalorian’s success has given us a platform to jump off. Don’t think seriously we don’t know it.”

In case you forget Yoda’s baby was presented at the end of the first episode “Mandalorian”. Long before he received the official name, his presence staged the show for success because she offered an instant intrigue (and mercy) to go with Mandai Padro Pascal. It was the perfect scenario of Yin and Yang. “Mandalorsky”, “overall can not be more different from the” Andar “. But this served as a proof of the concept, ensuring that” star wars “in live actions can exist on a large -scale scale made for the TV.

“We were protected up to the line,” Gilro added. “(President Lucasfilm) Katie (Kennedy) defended us. Lucasfilm defended us. Bob Iger defended us. The audience defended us.

In Disney and Lucasfilm, there was a lot, starting with the “Mandalora”, which took place in 2019. Paming became the dominant force in the media. At the same time, the studios understand that endlessly streaming is not a great long-term business strategy. Meanwhile, we didn’t have a new movie “Star Wars” Ever since Skywalker has arrived in December 2019.

This should change in 2026, when “Mandalor and Grog” fall into the theater. Indeed, director John Fauro brings the titular characters from the world broadcast to the big screen next to you, which illustrates how successful the Mandalors became. Gilro, speaking further, explained that some fans are trying to choose the parties between such “Andor” and “Mandalorian”. In his mind, however, it is a shame:

“The Internet, (people) are trying to keep a wedge between us all the time, and (John) Faur and (Dave) Philoni. It’s awful people say; it’s scary. True, we don’t have a show without them. They gave us a muscle.”

“Star Wars” can and should consist of different flavors for different fans. There is no reason why we can’t have things like Skelette -Ekipage and Andor. This is a great galaxy, and there should be a place for different types of stories. “Mandalors” was just the beginning; It didn’t have to be a template for each show that follows.

How “Andor” 2 season, this is one of the most expensive “star wars”, if -made. It also complete the series, despite the fact that it was initially a five -season plan. “No one will ever start the show again, and shoot practically, and there are resources and protection to do something like this,” Gilro added.

Premiere of the 2nd season “Andor” on April 2, 2025 on Disney+.
