Showerer Tony Gilroy had to make a lot of Anddor Season 2. He had to fill for nearly five years worth of "Starwells", leading to the events of Rogue One. Most would say Gillroy and the directors they worked with did a great job, as it is one of the best things during the Disney era of Lucasfilm. However, it was not without some perceived stacks, especially the way the canon was played.

One of the most prized episodes of the season, "Welcome to the Rebellion", sees that Cassian (Diego Luna) helps Mont Motma (EVENEVIV O'Rili) escape Korucant after her brazen speech against the Senate Empire after Gorman's massacre. However, the version of These events have already been played in the animated series "Rebels of" War on Starwives "," " Especially the episode of the season 3 "secret burden".

"There is a whole variety of canonical and what is not canonical, but that show is canonical," Gilroy recently explained in an interview with /film Ben Pearson. "It's the over-line to pay attention to." So Gilroy and his team certainly did not ignore the "rebels" in making this story. Instead, they tried to find a way to build it, as they explained:

"I have to admit that when we looked at him, we were like, (hesitant)" Who ". So what are we coming out of that?

In the "secret burden", the crew of the spirits of Hera, Zebm and Ezra are tasked with conveying the Mont Motma away from the imperial control. The key moment of the episode is distinguished by the Mont Motma, giving a great speech to those through the galaxy who want to stand against the empire. Sound known?

Both plays are taking place At the same point in the timeline "War of Starvars". Gilroy wanted to explore Mont Motma's reaction to the Gurman massacre, though in a different way than what was shown in the "rebels". Erkin Semaj, played by Piero Neil-Mee in the Andor 2 season, also appeared in this episode "Rebels". After all, Gilroy and Co used it as connective tissue. Speaking further, the guillers made it clear that he did not like the idea that someone would call this return of events as a reconstruction. He explained:

"There should be another term except Retcon, because we will not really recover, but we will tell you that - that's how, print the legend, not the truth. We will show you the real thing that happened. Everything in the cartoon, however, should be legitimate, it's just what happened.

Gilroy continued: "The thing is, when (Cassian) eventually gets off the truck at Javin, and then Draven said to him," Hey, thanks for doing this "and whatever," she will deliver this great speech and it is better if the golden escapter - she will give a great speech if you want to hear it. " And Diego says, "No, man, I have already heard it talking" (laughs) and he goes.

What ends is happening is that "Welcome to the Rebellion" and "Secret Load" type of game as two halves of the whole now. It's a bit, in Gilroy's own words, "canon kidnapping" gives this great episode "rebels" less weight Because it is more than secondary speech than definitive speech. The one who does not even feel the need to listen to him.

I have to admit that I have a difficult time to get closer to this situation with total objectivity. I hold the "Starwalks War" as some of the best "star warfare" ever. I know many other die fans want it. It's not just for children. So, "canon kidnapping" catches me the wrong way, though I absolutely loved "Welcome to the Rebellion", taken as an isolated episode on television.

My bigger question and the one who surpasses himself is that Gilroy was ready to neglect the canon established to make Andor Season 2. In particular, in particular, He completely neglected the story of the origin of K-2o. "I was upset when I found out that someone in the meantime between" Rogue "and (" Andor ") wrote a story of K-2. And that's like, "No, I'm not paying attention to it," Guillers said in a previous interview. At stake was a comic book released in 2017 entitled "Starwells War: Rogue One-Cassian & K-2so Special" #1

I have no attachment to this specific comic book and I don't think many people do. However, there are comics I love glad, As is the outstanding series "Darth Vedder" in 2015. There are also novels such as "lost stars" and animated shows like the "rebels" I adore. When Disney took over Lucasfilm in 2012, they decided to reset the canon and, from that moment, everything was done. Books, comics, even video games. It was all part of the galaxy tapestry, far away. There lies the point.

While live films and live shows are likely to be always where most fans are repairing their "Starwells War", these are hardcore fans who make it such a profitable Disney company. We buy these comics, read these books and play these video games. We have been told that they think, so we treat them as they think.

No matter how good "Andor" is, it feels like a slippery slope for me to allow the creators to get in and to crack other things on canon just because it is convenient. Framing this to Gilroy as a "real" version of these events makes sense on the one hand. On the other hand, it is frustrating, especially as a fan who cares about these things that Gilroy simply does not want to pay attention.

"Andor" is now striming on Disney+.
