The Mandalorian has set the bar so high for the other Disney+ series. If this Cassian Andor series is on the same level, then the activities of a Rebel spy could be very interesting. I love Rogue One. I’m anticipating this show more than anything currently announced, even the Obi-Wan series.
Agreed. RO is my favourite of the new Disney era SW movies, and I love the idea of making a show during the height of the Empire’s reign and getting to see the Rebel alliance at its early stages. I loved Filoni’s Rebels, but I love the idea of a darker and more gritty live-action counter-piece. I also feel that all the talk of it being a RO “prequel” is mostly just to put it in context for the casual fans, so I trust that it will be more than just a Cassian Andor origin story (though I’m on board for that part as well), but also a deep dive into the grittier side of the Rebels Alliance.
I’m also really intrigued to read that Stellan Skarsgård is in it. I wonder if he’ll play a bad guy role similar to Werner Herzog in The Mandalorian.
