The penultimate episode of Andor's first season was released this week, and the show's second and final season is expected to go into production soon. The series takes place five years before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, so there are some characters from the film who have already appeared in the series. In addition to Cassian Andor , the show also follows Mon Motha , and we've also seen the return of Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera.
"I had a part in Rogue One originally as a fighter pilot," Pow explained."I was involved with the original production in various capacities early on, and then I came in for the reshoots, and all of a sudden, after having a conversation with Tony [Gilroy] about Buddhism, funnily enough, I found that the character of Melshi had been written into some of the stuff in Rogue One and that's how it came about initially...
"You always kind of hope," Pow said about coming back for Andor."So, when I first heard about Andor, I was really optimistic that I might be able to be involved, and yeah, Tony called me up just as I was about [to go on holiday to South America], and he said, 'Hey, go and have fun and we'll catch up when you're back in London.
Is Alan Tudyk's K-2SO Droid in Andor?While one Andor episode did feature a KX unit, Cassian's trusty droid sidekick K-2SO, who was voiced by Alan Tudyk in Rogue One, hasn't appeared on Andor yet. Unfortunately, the show is not expected to feature the beloved droid in Season One, but he could be popping up in the future.
"They're shooting it right now, I'm not in it. But, if it stays on the air, stories keep getting told, I'll end up in there," Tudyk explained.
