The Thousand Faces of Cassian Andor

Almost three after the massive success of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in 2016– and several failed iterations of a Rogue One spinoff series about the characters of Cassian Andor and K-2SO– Hollywood script doctor Tony Gilroy had finally decided to write his friend Kathleen Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm, a long-overdue letter; one that took the experiment that he, Gareth Edwards, and the cast and crew of Rogue One had started years ago to the next level. It wasn’t just his pitch for what a Cassian Andor series should be all about; it was Gilroy’s manifesto, framing the Star Wars Galaxy as the backdrop for a story about a revolutionary in-the-making, set upon a collision-course with history, destiny, and the unrelenting forces of oppression.

The Myth That Rogue One Shattered

At its conception in 1977, Star Wars was effectively a blend of mythology, history, and George Lucas’s favorite movies– a combination that would more or less persist through the rest of Lucas’s saga. But by the time of Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm, and pre-production on the first Star Wars spin-off film began, a new team of Star Wars creatives– led by director Gareth Edwards and writer Gary Whitta– would shake the storytelling foundations of the series in unprecedented fashion. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story would not only tell the story of the Rebel spies who stole the secret plans to the Death Star, but boldly ask the question: what if you removed the myth from Star Wars?

The Mandalorian: A Gunslinger’s Odyssey

Mandalorians have been a cornerstone of the Star Wars canon all the way since Boba Fett’s introduction in 1980 with The Empire Strikes Back. But it wasn’t until 2017, amidst the Sequel Trilogy to George Lucas’s Star Wars Saga, when Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy hired filmmaker and Clone Wars cast alum Jon Favreau to direct the first live-action Star Wars series for Disney Plus, that Mandalorians would come to define Star Wars for a whole new generation. Joined by Dave Filoni, and inspired by the gunfighters of the western, the ronins of samurai flicks, medieval knight-errants, and Boba Fett himself, Favreau alchemized a space western like none before it. A battle of order and chaos at the silver-plated heart of a wandering gunslinger, The Mandalorian.

The Invisible Wounds of The Bad Batch

From the ashes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars comes The Bad Batch: a show about the post-Clone Wars transition into ‘the dark times’ of the Star Wars galaxy through the lens of experimental clone fighters Clone Force 99. Following in the footsteps of George Lucas’s original Star Wars, Lead Writer Jennifer Corbett and Supervising Director Brad Rau use the show’s first season to weave a reflection on the American veteran experience and what ultimately becomes of a society that’s been absolved of compassionate leadership.

Star Wars Rebels: A Prophecy of Hope

Before The Bad Batch, and before even the final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Dave Filoni and Lucasfilm Animation produced Star Wars Rebels, a 3D animated tv series depicting the origin story of the legendary Rebel Alliance, and the first major project of the Disney Lucasfilm era. Though Rebels began its production in 2013 on the heels of layoffs, budget cuts, an accelerated development period, and the delicate expectations of the Star Wars community, it would eventually inspire a new generation of fans, and leave a new etching in the legacy of George Lucas’s Star Wars mythology: a prophecy of hope. This is an analysis of that prophecy, and all the work that went into bringing it to life.

The Legacy of Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Part 3)

On March 11th, 2013, The Clone Wars was cancelled, leaving many of its stories untold, and their futures uncertain. In spite of this, Dave Filoni and Lucasfilm Animation endeavored to deliver as many of those stories as possible, even up to the recent final season of the show. This is the conclusion of the 12 year story of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
