There are only three episodes left before concluding season 2 ofAndor. Three episodes to reveal Dark Vader and the Emperor Palpatine? The creator of the Star Wars series, Tony Gilroy, had the opportunity to express himself on this possibility.
“” Absolute cinema “,” Peak Star Wars And praise in abundance. It is an understatement to say if season 2 ofAndor is almost unanimous. We already said it in 2022 with the first season: it’s the best series Star Wars to date. We repeated it with the release of new episodes: it definitively buries all the series Star Wars. And the public is widely agree.
A great series, served by huge characters and a tragic story. The three most recent episodes broadcast have included very strong moments. But it was the scenes with my Mothma that struck the most spirits, given what it is led to say, in reaction with the events going on the planet Ghorman.
There are only three episodes left before completing for good the story of Cassian Andor – his destiny is already fixed in the film Snape One. A last narrative arc for the road, so with final adventures, and a question that fans can ask themselves: will there be Dark Vader on the screen, in one way or another, as the final shine?
The suite contains spoilers at the end of season 2 ofAndor.
Will Dark Vader be in Andor ?
For those who hoped to see the sinister dark lord dressed in black, even a moment, you have to make a reason: Dark Vader will not be in the last three episodes of season two ofAndor. It’s Tony Gilroy, the creator ofAndorwho said it a few days ago, selling the wick before time.
In a discussion with the review Rolling Stoneat the end of April, Tony Gilroy admitted that making this character – probably the most iconic of the whole saga Star Wars – has never been in his projects: ” It has never been on the agenda. Writing for Dark Vader is really restrictive. I did it. He doesn’t have much to say ». So you might as well do without it.
Tony Gilroy has already had the opportunity to manipulate such a character, since he was one of the writers of Snape One. However, Palpatine’s right arm is only used with extreme sparing in the film. We only see him twice: during an exchange with director Orson Krennic, who manages the manufacture of the black star, and at the very end of the feature film.
This last scene, memorable, and one of the most successful in the franchise, is also devoid of any dialogue. In the end, the only moment when Vader benefits from a more complex writing is when meeting Krennic. An exchange of a strong courtesy in appearance, but where the Sith Lord crushes his interlocutor with his dark presence.
And Palpatine, then? Absent from Snape Onehe is just as invisible in Andorfor the same reasons. “” It was too large a piece of meat for me to introduce it. It was too heavy to wear. I thought about it at one point, but it was too heavy “Said Tony Gilroy. However, the series alludes there several times, sometimes by citing it directly.
An absence that supports the purpose of the series
Finally, the highest ranking of the galactic empire we see in Andor Is, among the various officers we meet, is certainly Orson Krennic. It is he who will be entitled to a tremendously well written scene, and very well interpreted on the screen, during the last three episodes, scheduled for May 14. We will obviously say nothing before their diffusion.
If fans may have a relative disappointment in the face of the absence of vader and Palpatine, the bias not to summon the usual figures of Star Wars is an idea ultimately welcome, which serves the purpose of the series. This shows very well that the dictatorship of the Empire is also the business of small servile hands, cogs that close the eyes and obey.
This was transcribed on various occasions in the series: the attempted rape of a clandestine by a non-commissioned officer of the Empire; the prospect of a genocide against the inhabitants of Ghorman; The massacre of demonstrators on the central square. All this is decisions coming from the device of the Empire, not of the two usual archetypes of evil, which makes these horrors even even more.
