“It was a gift of a role, to be honest,” reveals Andy Serkis about portraying the charismatic inmate-turned-revolutionary Kino Loy in “Andor.” For our recent webchat he adds that, “the series as a whole, I adored, but then I adored “Rogue One.” When you’re working with someone like Tony Gilroy,” he says, “he is a man who has a lot to say about the world that we live in,” adding, “Tony is one of those writers who just hits the bullseye with character. He just knows the turns and the levels and the layers.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

“Andor” is a strong contender to crack the Emmy Best Drama Series lineup this year, earning favorable reviews and awards buzz after its Disney Plus premiere last fall. But is there room on the nominees list for two ‘Star Wars’ shows, with the sophisticated sci-fi noir competing against “The Mandalorian,” its comrade from a galaxy far, far away? That show’s third season (currently streaming weekly) is in the hunt for a third consecutive nomination in the top category after its breakthrough in 2020 and follow-up nomination in 2021.
“The Mandalorian” became the third space-set drama ever nominated in Best Drama Series after “Star Trek: The Next Generation” three decades ago in 1994 and the original “Star Trek” almost three decades before that in 1967 and 1968. There’s a real possibility that “Andor” will be the fourth.

This post contains spoilers for "Andor" episode 11.
Rebel middleman Luthel Rael (Stellan Skarsgård) has been goated since he was first introduced on "Andor." Luthen has served as the catalyst for Cassian Andor's (Diego Luna) journey as an emerging rebel, as he helped facilitate his escape on Ferrix and his involvement in the Aldhani heist.
Episode 10 of the show featured quite the profound monologue by Luthen, who spoke about the sacrifices one has to make for the greater good. "I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I will never see," he lamented, as he has to make difficult choices for the sake of the rebellion. Episode 11 continues to prove that Luthen Rael is as badass as it gets, and the man never fails to steal every scene he's in.
The show's previous episode set the stage for the Empire ambushing Anto Kreegyr and his men, which Luthen...

This Star Wars: Andor article contains spoilers.
Andor Episode 5
Just at the very end of Andor episode 5, “The Axe Forgets,” Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård) and his assistant on Coruscant, Kleya (Elizabeth Dulau), have a brief discussion about the future of the Rebellion. Luthen is clearly worried that Cassian’s job on the planet Aldhani is going to go south, while Kleya makes it clear that she believes everything is going to work out, one way or another. “It’ll all be over this time tomorrow,” Kleya says. Luthen retorts with, “Or it will just be starting.” If Andor episode 4 was all about dropping us into new environments, then episode 5 is clearly the calm before the storm. But, at this point, the overarching promise of the series seems torn between the two perspectives floated at the end of this episode: This is either just getting started, or it’s not.
