Cassian Andor - Live-Action Series — Page 5

Take it with a grain of salt but IMDb claims George Lucas is writing two episodes for the show. I’d love for it to be true but they also said Ben Burtt was involved with The Rise of Skywalker and that proved to be false. Here’s hoping though as I’d love see him involved again and more stories from him!

I agree that I’m really excited for Andor, and that’s because we’ve got to see some set pictures and concept art. That’s enough to make me hyped! I’m convinced this will make a really great Star Wars story.

“Last month we reported that Lucasfilm was moving the production of the series to Scotland, specifically to the Cruachan Reservoir, in the Scottish Highlands. Watchtowers and other very Star Wars-y buildings and vehicles are now covering the Cruachan landscape, meaning that filming there is either still happening or about to begin.”

Minor point, but I would just like to point out how nicely the Scottish highlands could pass for a more mountainous region of Dantooine.

Maybe just a pipe dream of mine. 😉

I didn’t even think of that, but it would make a lot of sense for this series to show us Dantooine. Plus, from what I can tell the planet hasn’t really been featured at all in the new canon so they can technically do what ever they want with it.

I would love to finally see the surface of Dantooine as we only saw the planet from space in Rebels, but doesn’t that look like an Imperial turbolaser?

Yes, it looks like the same type of turrets that were on the surface of the DS. I was so focused on the Hoth-type turret that I completely forgot about the other one. Then again, Andor should be a few years before the Rebel Alliance got proper support, i.e. Mon Calamari designed ships, and so forth, so I suppose at this point in canon they simply steal whatever they can get their hands on. I mean even some of the “Rebel ships” from the OT are canonically stripped down or modified Imperial or even Republic era ships; such as the Y-Wings being Clone Wars fighters and the Nebulon-B frigates being decommissioned Imperial vesels. But then again, the Hoth-turrets are probably stolen too, so this “Scottish planet” could simply be an Imperial setting. Though now I really do hope it’s actually Dantooine.

Dantooine was close to being featured in Rogue One, concept art was even done, IIRC.

Seeing as to how The Mandalorian drew some elements from abandoned concepts for the films, (Moff Gideon’s TIE with landing gear was done for TFA, among other things) I could certainly see Andor doing the same. I mean, if the work has already been done for designing the planet, why not use it?
