Cassian Andor Live-Action Series Announced | StarWars.com

sleemo:

Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger announced today that Lucasfilm is in development on a second Star Wars live-action series for Disney+, the Company’s new direct-to-consumer streaming service. 

The series, which will go into production next year, follows the adventures of rebel spy Cassian Andor during the formative years of the Rebellion and prior to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Diego Luna will reprise the role of Andor. “Going back to the Star Wars universe is very special for me,” said Luna. “I have so many memories of the great work we did together and the relationships I made throughout the journey. We have a fantastic adventure ahead of us, and this new exciting format will give us the chance to explore this character more deeply.”

The rousing spy thriller will explore tales filled with espionage and daring missions to restore hope to a galaxy in the grip of a ruthless Empire. A release date for the series has not yet been announced.

So the Clone Wars was 100% trash between these two idiots.

I made that sketch a WILE ago, and never got around to color it. I’m really trying to practice those values without using ref and other skills between commissions (and during them as well!) This was fun to do, and I’m pretty happy with how this turned out, anatomy issues aside.

Either way, these two deserve each other, with their stupid sass and insufferable love/hate. 😂

I watched the Cinemasins review of the Last Jedi recently and their only gripe about the Rey and Kylo dynamic was that they went through all that development just to team up once and be enemies again. And I suppose the answer to that is they won’t just be “enemies” again, at least not in the same way they were after TFA. No storyteller worth their salt would spend 1/3 of a trilogy developing a dynamic for a cheap gotcha twist or to make some Don’t Trust the Evil Men statement.

Yeah. There are things about TLJ that feel anticlimatic and frustrating and the way the reylo dynamic pivots after the Supremacy and seemingly reverts to square one is probably the biggest. But I trust it’s frustrating only because it’s the second act of a trilogy and we don’t have the full picture yet. Rian himself all but spelled it, that he wanted to end the movie in a place where Rey and Kylo are still enemies but “complicated enemies”. Meaning there is no way back to where they used to be before getting so entangled with each other. They got under each other skin and that can’t be undone. And the fact that they’re still on opposite sides of this war hurts all the more, and the stakes are higher this way than they would be if they still were plain enemies, higher than they would be if it were the two of them against the world. 

We’ve said it a million times but, if TLJ had ended with them on good terms, things wouldn’t bode so well for them in epIX. But luckily it’s the opposite.
