Andor has never been a show about flashy cameos or Star Wars fan service in a galaxy far, far away. Even so, a familiar face showed up in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Andor season 2, episode𒅌 6 – but he was portrayed by a differe🍎nt actor due to scheduling conflicts.

As creator Tony Gilroy told , the role of Bail Organa didn't go to Jimmy Smits (who had played the Senator in Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, Rogue One, and Obi-Wan Kenobi) but, instead, Benj🦩amin Bratt.

"The scheduling didn’t work out. We really tried hard, but he wasn't available and couldn't make it," Gilroy explained of S⛦mits' absence.

Gilroy added, "Bringing back legacy characters is really complicated. t's very expensive. It's very, who's working when. A lot of effort went into it🌃, but we just couldn't work it out scheduling wise."

Thankfully, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kenn🤪edy stepped in and suggested Bratt (Coco, Law and Order) as the replacement for Smits.

"It was just 🏅a brilliant idea," Gilroy said. "He’s a wonderful human being and really eager and beloved on set and really happy about what he does."

Fittingly for such a politically-charged show, Gilroy even thought two steps ahead when it came to Bail Organa's recast💜ing. Predicting it would (rightly) draw some attention from long-term fans, he opted to quickly slide a quick appearance from the Senator outside of a party with Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly) in this week's batch of episodes so the audience could get the distraction "out of their system."

Gilroy explained: "We don't do many things that are unnecessary, but it's like, ‘Let's get him in herꦑe now so people can discuss it for a week and get it out of their system and then he can come back to really work.' I didn’t want the guy's work to be confused with his introduction."

Andor season 2 is currently streaming on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus.
