“Star Wars” hasn’t stopped being reluctant to leave the Skywalkers behind. There is no way. To show Luke’s appearance in “The Mandalorian”, his role in “The Book of Boba Fett” or, directly, the entire “Obi-Wan Kenobi” series; nostalgia mixed with (unfounded) fear of not being able to launch new characters that fascinate fans, has kept our favorite distant galaxy mired in absurd inbreeding.
This insistence on the Skywalkers is already difficult for many to digest, not only because there is no one who believes that in said universe there is a lack of other holders of the Force with a lot or more chatter, but because the Mandalorian embodied by Pedro Pascal has amply demonstrated that the novelties can involve as many or more mythical characters. Tony Gilroy, creator of “Andor” and screenwriter of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”, is one of those who can no longer cope with the playoffs of legacy characters, therefore, in his series, such appearances (if they occur) will not be focused from the point of view of “fan service”. He told Variety, comparing Anakin, Luke, Leia and company to a “royal family” around which everything revolves, approach that is not to your liking.
“I wanted ‘Andor’ to be based on real people because ‘Star Wars’ built its entire brand around what it essentially is: a real family. And it’s been awesome! But there are a billion other beings in the galaxy. plumbers and beauticians Journalists How are their lives? The revolution is affecting them as much as the others. Why not use the “Star Wars” canon as a basis for telling absolutely realistic, passionate and dramatic stories? We will never bet on fan service … [Si incluimos a algún personaje mítico] it will never be with a cynical approach. [Si lo hacemos será porque] it had to be there. It will always be chicha, never a candy”.
a dark past
In keeping with this reality that affects Gilroy, Diego Luna adds, in statements to ScreenRant, that his character’s past also contributes its grain of sand to a structure full of difficulties. Luna speaks of a past “dark and difficult” when he brushes his role in the series, which underlines that the germ of rebellion derives from a very intense suffering. “‘Rogue One’ is an event movie, and now it’s time to dig deeper to find out who this character was. Who cares, what happened in his childhood, what strengths he has, what weaknesses he has and what do you carry on your shoulders? In ‘Rogue One’ there was already a dark, difficult past, now let’s find out in what sense”.
* ‘Andor’, a ‘Star Wars’ series designed as a prequel to ‘Rogue One’, will debut September 21 on Disney +.
