Despite some issues behind the scenes which saw the third act reportedly undergo some huge changes during reshoots, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story remains one of the most well-received movies of the Disney-owned era of Lucasfilm.
While it ended with the deaths of, well, every lead character, Disney+'s Andor has explored Cassian Andor's origin story by picking up with him five years before the events of Rogue One. When the series returns with season 2, we'll race through the next four years of the Rebel's life, meaning a reunion with K-2So is imminent.
That will come when we finally discover how Cassian and Alan Tudyk's reprogrammed Imperial droid met and, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly (via SFFGazette.com), Diego Luna addressed the character's importance to this story.
"What a problem, that droid. He has no filter. He just talks and says everything he's thinking," the actor joked.

Everyone, say it with me now: Fight the Empire!
Against all odds, season 1 of the Disney+ series "Andor" ended up establishing a new standard for the entire "Star Wars" franchise to live up to upon its debut in September 2022. The prequel series to "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" revealed how Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) first rose from a total nobody on a backwater planet to a reckless trafficker of illegal items to, ultimately, a spy in service of the nascent Rebel Alliance. Creator Tony Gilroy's darker, more mature take on the material instantly set it apart from the rest of the series, while the sheer efficiency of the well-written scripts left fans eager to see where this story would take them next. It's been a long, long wait for its next season, but that patience is finally about to pay off.

As part of an as-yet-unpublished interview with The Playlist, Alonso Ruizpalacios — who directed the last three episodes of Andor Season 2 — apparently let slip that he worked on the Star Wars TV series with heavyweight actors like “Stellan Skarsgård, Forest Whitaker, and Ben Mendelsohn.”

Stop me if you’ve heard of this show: it’s a recently released program featuring a romance between two men of differing backgrounds, one serious and straightforward, the other lighthearted and empathetic. It takes place in a period of history generally agreed upon as being unfavorable—or even outwardly hostile—to non-heterosexual relationships. Despite this, the show in question manages to tell a genuine, moving love story, ultimately offering a message of hope through the connection between two of its male characters. Did you assume this show is Max’s Our Flag Means Death? Good guess, but you’re wrong. Granted, Netflix’s limited series Bodies is neither a comedy nor a love story. The bulk of the plot revolves around an unconventional murder mystery, as the same dead body appears in four different time periods. However, romance enters with detective inspector Alfred Hillinghead (Kyle Soller), who, amidst his...

In 2014 and 2015, Vertigo published Si Spencer’s eight-issue graphic novel Bodies, a mind-bending mystery about four police officers from different historical eras who discover the same corpse in the same London location, decades apart. Featuring detectives from the present day, the 1940s, the 1890s and 2053, it’s a complex conspiracy thriller about a very dark future. Originally illustrated by four artists – Dean Ormston, Phil Winslade, Meghan Hetrick and Tula Lotay – each era had its own distinct feel and look.
Spencer, who had also written on other Vertigo titles including Judge Dredd and Books of Magick: Life During Wartime, sadly passed away in February 2021, meaning he wasn’t able to see Paul Tomalin’s eight-part Netflix series adapted from his work. It’s out now, with a sprawling cast of characters including Boiling Point and This Is England’s Stephen Graham, several established actors and a handful of newcomers. Here’s more about them.

Over eight plot-packed hours, Netflix’s time-spanning police drama Bodies never quite falls on its face — high praise for a genre whose convolutions reliably start off entertaining and end up infuriating.
I can’t say Bodies always makes total sense, but it achieves a healthy balance between amusingly ridiculous and just-plain-ridiculous, with its audaciously high-concept narrative consistently elevated by a top-notch cast and strong production values across several time periods. Like Sky Max’s The Lazarus Project, which TNT dropped into domestic obscurity earlier this year, it’s a decently considered dose of mid-intensity time-travel thrills, a satisfying gift for science-fiction fans.
The series begins in the present day with Shahara Hasan (Amaka Okafor), a London detective sergeant, engaging in a foot pursuit in the middle of a far-right rally and stumbling upon a body on Longharvest Lane.

Netflix has unveiled the official full-length trailer for the upcoming series ‘Bodies,’ based on the mind-bending graphic novel by Si Spencer.
Four detectives. Four timelines. One body. When a body – the same body – is found on Longharvest Lane in London’s East End in 1890, 1941, 2023 and 2053, one detective from each period must investigate. As connections are drawn across the decades, the detectives soon discover their investigations are linked, and an enigmatic political leader – Elias Mannix (Stephen Graham) – becomes increasingly central. Did he have a part to play in the murder? Or is something far more sinister at play? To solve the mystery, our four detectives must somehow collaborate and uncover a conspiracy spanning over 150 years.
The episode series is directed by Marco Kreuzpaintner (lead), with further episodes by Haolu Wang with a cast that includes Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Shira Haas, Amaka Okafor, Kyle Soller and Stephen Graham.

This year is no different, so you can expect your 2023 autumn TV watchlist to include some compelling original dramas, from true crime shows covering some of the UK’s most shocking cases to enthralling depictions of real-life events, from the arrival of the Windrush generation to the Covid-19 pandemic.

"You're not the first detective to discover this body..." Netflix has unveiled an intriguing first teaser trailer for a mysterious new crime series titled Bodies, arriving for streaming on Netflix sometime soon - it's set to debut in October this fall. Not to be confused with the horror comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies from last year - this one also has plenty of dead bodies to deal with, too, but only one Bodies in the title. Four detectives, living in four different eras, find the body of the same murder victim in London's Whitechapel. They soon come to realise their investigations have them central to a mysterious conspiracy spanning over a 150 years. It's set in 1819, 1941, 2023, and even 2053 in the near future. "As the mind-scrambling pulsewave plagues the last survivors of a terrifying techno-apocalypse, the amnesiac young woman known only as Maplewood can barely understand the body she's discovered." The series stars Shira Haas,...

“Madness,” one leading transatlantic agent messaged yesterday as it dawned that the historic SAG-AFTRA strike would likely be going ahead.
Indeed, contract negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP broke off last night and the guild’s national board will meet this morning U.S. time to formally approve the launch of a strike. As we reported, it will be the first actors’ strike since 1980 and the first time that actors and writers have been on strike at the same time since 1960, when Ronald Reagan was president of the Screen Actors Guild.

While the premiere “Andor” Season 2 remains just over a year away, it’s safe to say it’s easily the most hyped series in the “Star Wars” Disney+ upcoming lineup. Yup, more so than “Ahsoka” or “The Acolyte,” or more episodes of “The Mandalorian.” And fans already know a little about what they should expect in new episodes of “Andor.” For one, Season 2 runs twelve episodes, with a time jump in the narrative every three episodes.

Crime dramas can sit on a pretty broad spectrum: some are campy, cosy and even comfortingly formulaic, whereas others make you need to sleep with the light on. The one guarantee is that in the UK at least, there’s such an appetite for detectives and crime stories that TV will never run out of new cases to solve.
We’ve already had some top examples in 2023, from the Happy Valley and Endeavour finales to the excellent Belfast-based Blue Lights, but there are plenty more fresh crime dramas on the way, from police procedurals to true crime and murder mysteries. See what’s coming up below.

“It was a gift of a role, to be honest,” reveals Andy Serkis about portraying the charismatic inmate-turned-revolutionary Kino Loy in “Andor.” For our recent webchat he adds that, “the series as a whole, I adored, but then I adored “Rogue One.” When you’re working with someone like Tony Gilroy,” he says, “he is a man who has a lot to say about the world that we live in,” adding, “Tony is one of those writers who just hits the bullseye with character. He just knows the turns and the levels and the layers.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

Denise Gough has done enough television to know that sometimes what you read in a script doesn’t always make it to the screen. And even after filming was completed, Gough thought that could be the case with the “Star Wars” prequel series, “Andor.” What the two-time Olivier Award winner wasn’t banking on was that Tony Gilroy was running the show.

This year's "Star Wars Celebration" has officially kicked off, with Lucasfilm's Studio Showcase opening the highly-anticipated event with exciting details about the second season of "Andor." Tony Gilroy's gritty, grounded take on "Star Wars" has a second season in the works, which is aiming for an estimated August 2024 premiere date, per Gilroy himself, who revealed the news during the event's opening panel:
"We started shooting in November [2022]. We're about halfway through. We're going to shoot through August [2023]. We're on the exact schedule. Finish in August, spend another year on post. I suppose we'll come out the following August."
Apart from Gilroy, the entire cast of "Andor" graced the stage during the segment, including the adorable droid B2EMO, who stuttered out a "Hello London! I am so v-v-v-very pleased to meet you all." Diego Luna, who plays the titular rebel spy in "Andor," talked about how happy he is to return to London,...

Luscasfilm unveiled its first look at Season 2 of its Disney+ series “Andor” on Friday as part of the Star Wars Celebration fan convention in London.
The 12-episode first season of “Andor,” created and executive produced by “Rogue One” co-writer Tony Gilroy, debuted in September to wide acclaim for its sprawling, ground-level depiction of the formation of the Rebel Alliance. Set five years before the events of “Rogue One,” the first season tracks a year in the life of Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) as he transforms from a cynical, small-time criminal into a man ready to join the fight against the Galactic Empire.
Gilroy explained on Friday that the team is working as quickly as possible to get Season 2 done. Shooting began in November and is expected to wrap in August. The creator predicted the show will hit Disney+ in August 2024.
“If you know your ending, it really helps,” said Gilroy.

“Andor” is a strong contender to crack the Emmy Best Drama Series lineup this year, earning favorable reviews and awards buzz after its Disney Plus premiere last fall. But is there room on the nominees list for two ‘Star Wars’ shows, with the sophisticated sci-fi noir competing against “The Mandalorian,” its comrade from a galaxy far, far away? That show’s third season (currently streaming weekly) is in the hunt for a third consecutive nomination in the top category after its breakthrough in 2020 and follow-up nomination in 2021.
“The Mandalorian” became the third space-set drama ever nominated in Best Drama Series after “Star Trek: The Next Generation” three decades ago in 1994 and the original “Star Trek” almost three decades before that in 1967 and 1968. There’s a real possibility that “Andor” will be the fourth.

This post contains spoilers for the latest episode of "The Mandalorian."
Talk about a change of pace. After easing viewers back into the flow of things during its first two episodes of the new season, episode 3 of "The Mandalorian" season 3 begins innocently enough with an extended aerial battle between Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin and Katee Sackhoff's Bo-Katan and a fleet of Tie Interceptors. But then it does something altogether unlike "The Mandalorian" as we've come to know it over the years. We suddenly shift gears completely and proceed to spend the bulk of the hour without any of our usual heroes. In fact, we follow one of the earliest antagonists established in the series: the sinister Dr. Penn Pershing (Omid Abtahi), one of the main architects behind Moff Gideon's (Giancarlo Esposito) attempts to kidnap and experiment on little Grogu.
If such a dramatic change in perspective and setting wasn't jarring enough,...

For two decades, the SAG Awards all but ignored science fiction on TV. There were exceptions, of course — the ensembles of “3rd Rock From the Sun,” “The X-Files” and “Lost” were all nominated, and John Lithgow, Kristen Johnston, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson earned individual recognition. It wasn’t until the 2016 SAG Awards — when the first seasons of “Westworld” and “Stranger Things” both earned nominations for their ensembles and their respective stars Thandie Newton, Millie Bobby Brown and Winona Ryder — that the guild began to regularly consider sci-fi performances as worthy of recognition alongside other series.
Even then, however, nominated shows “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Lovecraft Country” and “Squid Game” sit on the fringes of what most people even consider to be science fiction. This year, the SAG Awards have the opportunity to nominate ensembles and performances on multiple shows that sit enthusiastically at sci-fi’s center.

“I love ‘Star Wars,’ I’ve watched ‘Star Wars’ for my whole life,” reveals Diego Luna, the star of the latest and most critically acclaimed live action “Star Wars” project since the film it presages, the 2016 spin-off “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” For our recent webchat he adds about the thrill of being a part of this universe, “now I have kids I’m glad there’s room for new things, for something different to this universe and I am happy to be part of that.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

Major spoilers ahead for the "Andor" season finale.
Syril (Kyle Soller) and Dedra (Denise Gough) are the ickiest couple to exist in a Star Wars project, and that includes Luke and Leia after the audience learned that they were related. This particular "Andor" ship is horrifying. Dedra is a cold-blooded bureaucrat in the Isb who cares about nothing but order and putting down the rebels. Syril is an order-obsessed toady who is clearly stalking her as a substitute for his monster of an overbearing mother (Kathryn Hunter). He admires her to the point of devotion. Yes, they both worship order, but the idea of a relationship between them is horrifying.
... So why do we want them to kiss already?
I can practically feel you shuddering over the internet, but you know it's true. In the final episode of "Andor" season 1, Dedra is caught up in the Ferrix riot during Maarva's...

It would be fun to be a fly on the wall at Lucasfilm as they discuss the performance of “Andor” Season 1. Without a doubt, the “Star Wars” series is the most critically acclaimed show Lucasfilm has released on Disney+. However, it doesn’t appear that viewership is really on par with some of the other “Star Wars” series. Or any of them really.

"He is a new kind of hero for a new age. His name is Andor." This is where that ol' phrase "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" makes sense - a long time ago in 1975, a Star Wars series aired on television. Ha ha. A YouTube channel created this glorious fan-made TV intro for the Andor series replicating the 70s TV intro style. It's kind of amazing! Set five years before the events of Rogue One, the series follows rebel spy Cassian Andor during the formative years of the Rebellion. It's showrun and created by writer Tony Gilroy. Diego Luna returns as Andor, with a cast featuring Stellan Skarsgård, Adria Arjona, Fiona Shaw, Denise Gough, Kyle Soller, as well as Genevieve O'Reilly as Mon Mothma; plus Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera. "It's 1975. A New Hope won't be released for another two years, and George Lucas is...
