Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is without doubt one of the finest installments from the fashionable period of the Star Wars franchise, and Lucasfilm doubled down on it in one of the simplest ways with the creation of the Disney+ sequence Andor. Created by Tony Gilroy, the present is ready earlier than the occasions of Rogue One and facilities on Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor, and it earned widespread acclaim when it began streaming final fall. One one who has not but seen it, nevertheless, is Rogue One director Gareth Edwards – although to his credit score, he’s been slightly busy in the previous few months.
Edwards defined as a lot final week once I had the chance to interview him at San Diego Comedian-Con. Our dialog was primarily about his work on his new film The Creator – which I realized was closely impressed by the Japanese movie sequence Lone Wolf And Cub – however I requested him for this ideas on Andor on the very finish. The filmmaker defined that he hasn’t been capable of watch the Disney+ sequence but as a result of all of his focus has been on his upcoming movie. Emphasizing that he has not had the possibility to look at something, not to mention the 12-part Star Wars present, Edwards mentioned,
I truthfully have not seen something. I have not seen something. We completed the film final Friday, and I might say that is my first break, however we have come form of straight to Comedian-Con. I have not seen it. The trailer regarded nice. I feel it is in nice palms. I am excited for everyone, you already know what I imply? However no, I am unable to remark.
Principal images for The Creator spanned for nearly the complete first half of final yr, however with a movie just like the sci-fi epic, the work most undoubtedly cease when the manufacturing wraps. As you possibly can inform by the extraordinary trailer for the film, this can be a movie that has required a whole lot of effort on the post-production/VFX entrance, which explains why Gareth Edwards solely simply accomplished it earlier this month.
The Creator, starring John David Washington, Madeleine Yuna Voyles, Gemma Chan, Ken Watanabe, Sturgill Simpson, and Allison Janney shall be in theaters on September 29 – and whereas extra Andor is on the best way, it’s not coming fairly as quickly. A Season 2 has lengthy been confirmed for the Disney+ sequence, with the top of the story anticipated to hyperlink up in its finale with the start of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, however the episodes aren’t anticipated to premiere till the second half of subsequent yr (and the on-going actors and writers strikes aren’t going to allow them to come any faster).
