The book has officially closed the two -season saga of Andor, but we are not even approximate to be prepared to continue. The second season is likely to go down as One of the bravest experiments in all "Starwell War", And much of it is due to the original characters that creator Tony Gilroy introduced them to the franchise. In a franchise more obsessed than ever with nostalgia and hereditary characters, I'm not sure Everyone It could be expected to come out of Andor with a healthy gratitude to people like Bix Calin (Adria Aryona), Dedra Meero (Dennis Goff) or Cyril Carn (Kyle Soller).

However, of all of them, maybe no one stole the show to a greater degree than Stellan Scarsgard's Lutan Rael. The mysterious and extremely ruthless operative has brought a whole new taste to the rebellion of our favorite galaxy away, away. Not only did he play an intensified role in the introduction of Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) in the fight against the Galactic Empire, but he basically created the framework for the entire rebel alliance while it was. Canonically, it's not an exaggeration to say that not another person - yes, garlic skywalker and all his friends - he was more responsible for the ultimate defeat of the Empire than Luten.

Making such a tinted and complex person from scratch requires a lot of hard work, as it turns out. Gilroy recently sat down with /movie Ben Pearson for a detailed interviewwhere he referred to the attention of the details involved in the adoption of Luten to life. In the second half of season 2, We actually get a look at the backstews of the Luten and the origin (Tied to that of his tireless assistant Kleia, played by Elizabeth Dulau). According to Gilroy, this was done only after he assured Scarsgard that he would avoid a particularly boring trophy:

"I think when Stellan came for the first time and he wanted to know what my plan was, I know I had some detailed backsters for him. And they were too complicated. He said," Let's not fix now. " He said, 'Only promise me one thing: that it would not be revenge (against the empire). He did not want to be revenge as his motivation.

If there is one job "Andor" has great pain to show them, it is that everyone has their own reasons to join the rebellion. As we meet all kinds of revolutionaries with deep and personal reasons to hate the Empire, Cassian himself gradually channels his anger against the imperial machine in a real struggle for freedom. (And, even then, It takes a Bix's heart decision to leave To finally devote himself entirely to the cause.) In that light, it makes the perfect sense that Tony Gilroy and Stellan Scarsgard would like to come up with a much more interesting motivation from the revenge to lead Luten to go to the extreme lengths they make. But backstow is only half the battle.

Another place in his interview with the film, Gilroy addressed where the inspiration for Luten and his unique chaos brand came from. On the one hand, the character deals with acquiring funding, finding personal fighters and other practical things. On the other hand, he strongly believes in allows fascist governments to put their boot on the throat of the masses essentially forcing even the most comfortable citizens to join the fight. As Gilroy explains, this comes out directly from history books and includes a multitude of figures, from American hero Benjamin Franklin to the Communist Revolutionary Mao Cedong:

"(Luten) is not modeled on any specific person, but every rebellion and revolution have all the people who think of the material you need. “Who are the people linking people?

You have it there. Our full interview with Gilroy is worth reading in fullFor those hungry for more. Maybe "Andor" was really about the revolutionaries we made on the road.
