Andor
Warning ! freebooter for Andor instalment 9.Andy Serkis’Andorrole shock audiences given that Serkis had already played Supreme Leader Snoke in theStar Warssequels , but this surprising casting determination imply that other underexposedStar Wars ' actors may revert . Of allAndorcliffhangers so far , the end ofAndorepisode 8 might be the most effectual – and not just because of the narration . Andy Serkis playing an only dissimilar character inAndoris not something audiences were expecting to see , which made the Kino Loy reveal even better . Obviously , Andy Serkis play a brand newStar Warscharacter is exciting by itself , but it also sets up other potentialStar Warsreturns .
WhileSupreme Leader Snokeinitially seemed like a keyStar Warscharacter , the Emperor - eq of this new chapter of the Skywalker Saga , Star Wars : The Last JediandStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalkershowed that Snoke was nothing but a piece of the puzzle in Kylo Ren ’s journeying . In other quarrel , Andy Serkis ’ talent were wasted with such a modest theatrical role in theStar Warssequels . Fortunately , give that Snoke was a fully CG graphic symbol , Andy Serkis ’ expression never appear in theStar Warssequels – thus allowing him to return with what seems to be a more nuanced , groundedStar Warscharacter . That aver , Andy Serkis is not the only role player theStar Warssequels have wasted and that could return in an whole different role .

The Star Wars Sequels Wasted Some Of Its Best Actors
Though theStar Warssequelswere focused from the start on Daisy Ridley ’s Rey , John Boyega ’s Finn , Adam Driver ’s Kylo Ren , and Oscar Isaac ’s Poe Dameron , theStar Warssequel trilogy wasted some of its good thespian in supporting part that did not allow those actors to shine . Three main example are Gwendoline Christie as Captain Phasma , Lupita Nyong’o as Maz Kanata , and Keri Russell as Zorii – all of which had very limited role and whose faces never actually appear in the movies . While CG characters and mysterious baddie in helmets are part ofStar Wars , those three actors were not given a pot to do across the trilogy . Phasma die inThe Last Jedi , Maz ’s role afterStar Wars : The Force Awakenswas lower limit , and Zorii only appear inThe Rise of Skywalker .
Sequel Trilogy Actors In New Roles Is Better Than A Continuation
Andy Serkis ’ restoration toStar Warsas a wholly different lineament inAndorcould start the doorway to otherStar Warssequel trilogy actors to return in an unexpected fashion . More of Gwendoline Christie , Lupita Nyong’o , and Keri Russell inStar Warswill always be a good thing , yetStar Warsdoes not necessarily involve the returns of Phasma , Maz , or Zorii . Should any of those actor return toStar Wars , then something similar toAndor ’s Andy Serkis whirl could work . The fact that Phasma and Zorii wore a helmet all through their briefStar Warsappearances , plus the fact Maz Kanata was a CG graphic symbol in the first two movies and then a marionette inThe ascent of Skywalker , means that all three actor mentioned could act a different character without causing any confusion .
Andy Serkis’Andorcharacteris a reminder of how versatile the actor is , and it proves that theStar Warsuniverse is large enough for an actor to play more than just one theatrical role . If Mark Hamill can play Luke Skywalker and a visual sense of Darth Bane inStar warfare : Clone Wars , then there is really no terminus ad quem regarding recall actors playing different purpose . Hopefully , Andy Serkis ’ Kino Loy will leadStar Warsto revisit actor who were consume in smaller roles .
