Andor’s Kyle Soller & Denise Gough on Creating a Real, Messy Star Wars

With Tony Gilroy’s Andor now streaming on Disney , I recently got to speak with Kyle Soller (Syril Karn) and Denise Gough (Dedra Meero) about making the fantastic Star Wars series. During the interview, they talked about how Andor was not the Star Wars series they expected, how it’s an all-new section of the universe, who they each play, and how much fun it is to play a character you disagree with. Andor is a two-season event that starts five years before the events of Rogue One. The first season will cover a year, while the second season will cover the next four years in 3-episode blocks. Meaning episodes one through three will be year two, episodes four through six is year three, seven through nine is year four, and the final episodes will be year five and the plan is to end episode twelve right before Rogue One starts. The series features the return of Diego Luna as Cassian Andor, Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma and Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera. Newcomers to the series include Stellan
