Andor Writer reveals that Emperor Palpatine could have appeared in the original 5 -seasons plan

If Andor He had remained with his original five -seasons plan, the fans could eventually see the same emperor Palpatine leaving the shade. According to the writer Dan GilroyTHE Star Wars The series in the end would bring the villain.

In an interview with Apart Script, Gilroy admitted that he did not think about it until he asked us, but then revealed how naturally the story could have leaned on the world of the emperor.

“Really, in reality, this moment is the best that really thought about it. So what else would we have explored? Oh my God, where would we have gone? I mean, I can’t imagine more than five years that we would not have shown the emperor at that point.

He continued:

“I think we would get closer to that world. I think we would have gone, as, we are really getting a good sense of the opposition forces here, but we go more deeply to power at the moment, the rooms of power.

“I think we would go deeper in the halls of power and would have explored it. It would have been the natural way of going, I think, its progression.”

While both seasons dig deep into the empire machine, neither Palpatine nor Darth Vader ever present themselves. Showrunner Tony Gilroy He previously explained why Vader was never on the table, saying:

“No, he has never been to my agenda. Writing for Darth Vader is really limiting. I did it. He doesn’t have much to say.”

Of course, Vader did his iconic return Rogue Onewhile the influence of Palpatine is felt in both Andor AND Rogue One Even if he never appears on the screen.

With the series closed with season 2, we will never know in which appetite of live Palpatine Andor It would seem. However, knowing that it was a possibility makes me ask how deeply in the imperial machine he could have gone.
