Coli💝n Trevorrow, wh⛎o was once in line to direct the then-untitled Star Wars 9 before leaving the project, has admitted it's been a "struggle" to watch anything from the series since – but Andor is getting him back on board.

"My son and I have both decided that we are going to watch all of Andor this summer," Trevorrow told . "But I do have to be honest; it has been a struggle for me to engage with anything Star Wars-related just on an emotional lev🌊el. So, to the team that 🍃made Andor, I guess I can say that you're the ones who've finally brought me back in.”

Originally slated to cap off the Star Wars sequel saga with what was set to be called Duel of the Fates, Trevorrow 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:left Star Wars 9 after reported 'creative differences' with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm. J.J. Ab♌rams then took over for Star Wars: The Rise of the Skywalker.

But that wasn't the end of the story. In 2020, a Duel of the Fates script 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:was leaked online. Among the many differences between the canned Star Wars 9 and The Rise of Skywalker, Luke Skywalker was originally planned to 'haunt' Kylo Ren. The Sith Lord, meanwhile, would have lightsaber duels with a spectral Darth Vader and a twin-blade wielding Rey. Trevorrow was keen to point out that, despite suggestions to the contrary, he was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:never going to kill off R2-D2.

Andor has come to an end after two seasons, with the Disney Plus series roundly being heralded as one of the best Star Wars stories ever told. It's currently sitting pretty at 97% on Rotten Tomatoes – just 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:don't expect creator Tony Gilroy to h♛ead back to a galaxy far, 🐻far away anytime soon.
