Tony Gilroy, creator of the “Andor” series, derived from the “Star Wars” universe, assured that the second part of the story will follow the path that Cassian Andor travels to become a leader and the human reasons that will lead him to fight.
Cassian Andor’s commitment to the rebellion is no longer in question, he is ready to fight. Now the series will be more about how do you become a leader? And how do you sustain your energy in the face of so much pain and defeat?” Gilroy told EFE.
The recordings of the second and final season of the Disney+ series, prequel to the film “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” (2016), began the same week that the first installment came to an end on the streaming platform.

“The more you understand what the characters go through, the more powerful the emotion they generate in the audience, and as the story progresses, the connection to their problems and their questions deepens,” the author explained.

«I never say, ‘I’m going to do something political, or something that will make you cry’, I don’t work like that, I let the story come and I trust my instincts like when you trust the wind and you’re in a boat. Circumstances are going to throw me where I have to go, “she assured.
In the second season, “Andor” led him to ask himself certain questions that he believes could well be applied to the reality of human coexistence and teamwork.
