My Mothma (Geneviève O’Reilly) and her husband Perrin (Alastair Mackenzie) were on his way to a party in episode 6 of AndorThis is the second season when they saw a familiar face when they left. But this familiar face was not so familiar Star Wars fans. At least not in the context of Star Wars. This is because a major franchise character has been resumed for the new series.
The Senator Bail Organa was referenced for the first time in the very first Star Wars film when A new hope was released in 1977. Senator Organa was blown up with mitits with the rest of Alderaan by the death star, while Grand Moff Tarkin caused the adopted daughter of Organa to show it … while her true father, Dark Vader, was held. We were finally able to meet the deposit on the screen in the film prequel Clone attackwith a veteran The law And NYPD Blue actor Jimmy Smites living in the role. Smits continued to play organna in the Revenge of the Sith And Snape One Films also in 2022 Kenobi Obi-Wan Streaming series and Star Wars: The strength was unleashed Video game.
However, when the deposit arose for this brief Andor Conversing scene with my and Perrin, it was not Jimmy Smites playing the hero of the rebellion, but a new face (but recognizable) – Benjamin Bratt. The redesign was certainly surprising, especially since Smites played the role in the film on which the prequel series Andor is based, Snape One. So why has Smits not yet portray the wise senator? According to Creator Tony Gilroy, It was just a question of logistics.
“We couldn’t work,” said Gilroy Entertainment every week. “Planning did not work. We really tried hard, but it was not available and could not get there.”
This is one of the problems that can arise when you try to use characters previously established in suites, prequelles and fallout. “Bringing back the inherited characters is really complicated,” notes Gilroy. “It’s very expensive. It is very, who works when. A lot of efforts went there, but we just couldn’t resolve it in wise planning.”

Once they couldn’t land, the team Andor had to go to plan B – a plan developed by the president of Lucasfilm Kathleen Kennedy. “Kathy had the idea of Benjamin,” reveals Gilroy. “It was just a brilliant idea. He is a wonderful human being and really impatient and loved on the set and really happy with what he does. ”
THE Andor The Creator knew that a lot of attention would be paid to the overhaul, so he developed the idea of putting this introduction into a brief aperitif before serving the main dish later. “I put it in episode 6 arbitrarily so that people will eliminate the conversation until the following week, when it really starts to work.”
Gilroy continues: “This is one of those situations where I want to do something simple. We are not doing a lot of things that are not necessary, but it’s like:” Let’s go here now so that people can discuss it for a week and get it out of their system, then he can come back to really work. “I didn’t want the guy’s work to be confused with his introduction.”
And now that the introduction has been made, we can see what the new organa of the surety has in its Senate SPiffy sleeves.
