Andor ‘s main actor has opened up around the end of the Star Wars TV show after two seasons Diego Luna is relieved that the Rogue One Prequel series was not canceled It was to initially run for five seasons
Diego Luna believes that it is the right decision on the part of Disney to allow Andor To end after two seasons rather than one.
Chattering with Techradar before Andor Season 2 debuts on Disney+, Luna expressed the satisfaction and relief over the opportunity to tell “the story we would” in Rogue One Prequel series. In fact, Luna was happy that Disney gave him, Showrunner Tony Gilroy, and the rest of the role crew and the crew of the chance to pack his story rather than cancel the show after a single season.
Luna’s concerns about the Star Wars TV series ending before its time is not unfounded. In spite of the critical recognition and price nominations Andor The first season was met with it is no secret that its development was a costly endeavor.
Originally, Andor should run for five seasons, with its last rate that led directly into the events of Rogue One However, according to a report published by Forbes last December, it is estimated that the price of creating its first two seasons was an astronomical $ 645 million.

With Disney -De cutting costs everywhere under Bob Iger’s second stint as CEO, Andor ‘s five-season plan should never be realized.
Fortunately, under development on one of the best Disney+ Shows’ first season, Gilroy had a “good idea”, according to Luna, to condense four seasons worth of character arches and wider storytelling to another season that included 12 episodes.
It is a format that Gilroy discussed with me before Season 1’s release in August 2022, where the series lead author calls them “very sexy” time jump that would portray a single, yet important event in each of the four years leading up to the start of Rogue One . Each period of 12 months will span three episodes per day.
“From the start [of this show]We knew what we wanted to do, “Luna told me.” Structurally, the plan changed because we soon realized that we could not commit to five seasons. It takes a lot of energy, time and money to make one because each season takes two and a half years of our lives.
“But while we were shooting season one, Tony had this big idea of pushing four seasons into one and essentially making four chapters.
“I also think that today in long format storytelling and TV generally, many shows start without knowing where or when to end. But from beginning to finish we told the story we would tell and that’s a beautiful thing to do.”
