“Andor,” the “Star Wars” prequel series following the journey of Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor before he went on a mission to steal plans for the Death Star, will segue perfectly into “Rogue One.”
During a panel on Wednesday as part of the Disney+ presentation at the Television Critics Association Summer Tour, executive producer, creator and showrunner Tony Gilroy broke down exactly how the 24 episodes of the series (split between two seasons of 12 episodes each) cover the five years that lead up to the Felicity Jones-starring film.
“We are covering one year in our first 12 episodes that we completed,” Gilroy said.
