In a recent interview Andor actress Adria Arjona says she thinks Season 2 is better than Season 1 of the series. Of course we still have no release date for Season 2 when we can make up our own minds. However, the idea that Season 2 could be better than Season 1 is intoxicating. In my mind, and that of many Star Wars fans (not all) Andor was the best Star Wars live-action project since probably Return of the Jedi.
Arjona spoke with THR recently and it was in this interview she sets the hype for Andor season 2.
“Oh man, when I read season one, I pinched myself, and when I started reading season two, I was like, ‘[Tony Gilroy] can’t outdo [season one].’ I was again like, ‘It’s not going to be as good.’ But it’s fucking better. It’s so much better. It is,” Arjona insists. “What he has crafted and created is mind-blowing, and I can’t believe I got to be a part of it. He’s so talented, and he really outdid himself for season two.”

I so cannot wait to see what happens to some of these characters in Season 2. Some have fates we know, others are a mystery.
Arjona also had praise personally for Andor creator/showrunner Tony Gilroy.
“I have Tony Gilroy on speed dial. I don’t think that man gets bothered by anybody else but me. I’m like, “Hey, Tony, do you think I should do this? Hey, Tony, how are you?” And he’s like, “You’re calling again?” (Laughs.) I just have so much respect for him. He’s so talented, and he really outdid himself for season two.”
Sounds good to me. Sadly I’m convinced this will be the last time Tony Gilroy works in the Star Wars universe, or at least for a long time. If it was up to me I’d give him the keys to tell more stories. I just don’t think that’s what Gilroy himself wants to do.
