In a somewhat surprising revelation, StarWars.com today announced the impending production of a Cassian Andor live-action TV series. With Diego Luna reprising his Rogue One role as Andor, the 'rousing spy thriller' is set to "explore tales filled with espionage and daring missions to restore hope to a galaxy in the grip of a ruthless Empire".
While a Cassian-centric show may not be the series we thought we needed, I'm somewhat excited about the possibilities it presents - specifically, the cameos it might provide. Perhaps we'll see Andor first encounter his ascerbic droid companion, K-2SO. Or maybe we'll get to see a little more of Mon Mothma and Bail Organa's exploits in the period leading up to Rogue One. There's even the chance - however unlikely it may be - that we could see the crew of the Ghost briefly make a life-action appearance.
While no release date has yet been announced, the series will air exclusively on Disney's new direct-to-consumer streaming service, Disney+. Stay tuned for more details as they're inevitably announced!
