DISNEY + : New Star Wars series « The Cassian Andor »
- Thread starter septmbrvrywn
- Start date
We don't need movies on every side character from the movies unless they're legitimately interesting? Please don't go that route.
Ob-Wan, fine. Cassian, no.

Wait for what?
I don't find Cassian an interesting character at all. He did absolutely nothing for me in Rogue One.
Wait and see what the show is actually about? Maybe it explores some interesting SW lore and ends up going in a different direction than what we saw in R1. Maybe his character is more interesting. I'm not going to write off an entire show before we even have a shred of an idea of what it's gunna be like.
The talent behind the show is very interesting, but it's very hard to get excited for this character after Rogue One.
Like yea, if the show is good folks mind will change. But again, the character was boring as hell in Rogue One so even with good talent behind the show it's hard to get excited for the character.
can you tell me what other movies about side characters there are?
I think it's better to take a character like this and make a show than one that people already know and love.
Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying I am out on it...just that Cassian Andor as the lead is underwhelming as a baseline.
If this was a show like 'The Mandalorian' where we see the world through a blank slates eyes, I am sold. Kenobi getting a show, makes sense. Beloved character in the 20 year period after ROTS.
Cassian (in the same 20 year time span)? Ehhhhhh.
I dunno, I think a show about the Star Wars equivalent of cloak and dagger resistance against pre-World War II Nazi Germany sounds kinda cool.
I wasn't particularly whelmed by his character in R1 either. Just saying, one thing I've learned is to never write something off until at least having seen it. It could be completely different from what came before. I think he's a good actor and could do interesting things in the right hands.
Not disagreeing with you. I can understand how some people might not like Cassian as a character. I do think that it's interesting that he was one of the few morally grey characters in any of the films and that's worth exploring in a longer narrative. Especially in then espionage/spy genre.
Who cares? Disney already announced that the show is coming and most of the discussion here is about the show. 🤷🏾♂️
I mean, it's not even a synopsis. It's a couple lame details pulled out of an article with no real in formation because there isn't any yet, posted to a fan run twitter account.
There's no way live action Ahsoka isn't happening eventually. Hell, they could even have her in this show. She was a key Rebel operative in the time leading up to Rogue One.
A series NO ONE asked for.
I bet this gets cancelled after 1st sesson.
Hoping this creates a more interesting character than Rogue One did. Would rather have seen Woody Harrelson adventures if we had to pick a character from the side movies.
That said I also don't want to see 'this character as a teen', it's a pretty boring concept to deal with origin stories. Leave some shit to mystery. Reminds me of cheesy shit like Young Indiana Jones, Young Ace Ventura, Young Dumb and Dumber, Young Han Solo...even young Nathan Drake is fairly lame and it rarely turns out more interesting than the source. I usually prefer the opposite where we get a character returning older and maybe changed slightly (obviously not possible for Cassian).
It's a shame because the Luna is genuinley good but the character is dull along with Jyn. Infact almost every character in that movie is more interesting than the two leads.

A Rebel saboteur in the early days of the Rebellion? He said this during Rogue One:
He's basically Kyle Katarn before becoming a Jedi. Honestly I'm pretty excited for this project because most Rebels go about their business with such a happy face. If it keeps the tone of Rogue One then count me in.
