Stellan Skarsgard Praises The Writing On Andor Star Wars Show

Actor Stellan Skarsgard praises the writing on Andor. The upcoming new Star Wars show is still firmly under wraps in terms of the plot. Fans, myself a like assume a spy genre plot given Cassian Andor’s role in the Rogue One movie. However I’d also guess audiences will get to see life under the Empire, and why Cassian makes the decision to join the Rebels in the first place. Andor will star Diego Luna once more as Cassian, but alongside him is Skarsgard who fans will likely most easily associate with his Erik Selvig character from the Avengers movies.
