At Star Wars Celebration 2022, the Oscar nominated filmmaker spoke to The Nerds of Color and said the extremely anticipated Disney Plus original collection introduces a version of Cassian that's the general opposite of his Rogue One counterpart.
"We’re starting [Cassian] about as far away from the guy at the end of [Rogue One] as you could possibly have," Tony said. "And the first season is about the one year in his life — five years earlier — and it’s an odyssey for him."
He added, "It’s an odyssey, a political awakening for him, it’s an emotional awakening for him. He goes through an incredible amount of things, he’s a different person at the end of the year than he started at. And then in the second half, it’s watching that be put in play."
New episodes of Andor premiere Wednesdays on Disney Plus.
