rumour are flying thatDarth Vaderwill have a cameo inAndorseason 2 , butAndorshowrunner Tony Gilroy substantiate three years ago that Vader and the residue ofthe Skywalker family treewould not be in the show . The finalAndorseason 2 trailerdropped in the first place this week , and looker immediately time Imperial Security Bureau factor Dedra Meero apparently being Force choked . While Darth Vader is n’t the onlyStar WarsSithto use Force choke coil , it is his theme song move .

This would make good sense , give Vader appeared inRogue One : A Star Wars Story , for whichAndoris a spin - off . Although the grounds was compelling , it ’s unlikely Darth Vader will actually look inAndorseason 2 , as , pertheNew York Times , Andorshowrunner Tony Gilroy previously said :

" Like I read , the Galax urceolata is tremendous . It would be like if you essay to tell the whole history of twentieth - century England just through ' The Crown . ' ' Oh , there ’s only this royal kinfolk , these seven people , their linage and who they ’re [ expletive ] — that ’s all that matters . ' We will not be dealing with the royal family of ' Star Wars . ' When we have bequest characters render , or when we bear on on things that are conversant , we do n’t want to do it in a fashion that would be perceived as fan service . We desire it to be protein . "

It ’s clear Gilroy felt very strongly about this issue , so it seems rather unlikely ( although not altogether out of the question ) that this approach path would have changed in the eld since .

Tony Gilroy Already Promised Us He Wouldn’t Be Using Darth Vader

It’s Clear The Skywalkers Aren’t The Focus Of Andor, Which Is More Than Valid

Star Warshas fight to step by from the Skywalkers , even after the Skywalker Saga was enounce to have stop withStar Wars : The boost of Skywalkerin 2019 . In the franchise ’s defense , it has to be difficult to take the air off not only from some ofStar Wars’best charactersbut also from characters who are guaranteed to draw audiences . The Skywalkers have therefore pop up in severalStar Warsshows since then , includingThe Mandalorian , The Book of Boba Fett , Ahsoka , and others .

Yet , Andorsets itself aside by very clear wanting legal separation from these characters and these stories . This show is n’t about the galaxy ’s most well - known fictional character ( or , as Gilroy put it , the royal home inStar Wars ) , though . Andoris about the boot - on - the - ground movement of Rebel fighters whose names did n’t go down in chronicle the mode the Skywalkers did . It therefore makes mother wit for Gilroy to assert that Vader and the other Skywalkers not appear .

Star Wars ' fresh TV show continues to promise verbatim connection to Rogue One : A Star Wars Story — one of Star Wars ' best movies — and we ca n’t wait .

Tony Gilroy Is Right: A Darth Vader Cameo Would Shrink The Galaxy

Excitement Was Building About A Vader Cameo, But Gilroy Has Made The Right Call

Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader is my favoriteStar Warscharacter bar none , but even I have to admit Gilroy ’s stance is the right one . Star Warscan’t realistically incorporate the Skywalkers forever , and it ’s for the best that the dealership essay stories completely separate from that class can suffer on their own two feet . This is particularly important forAndor , as this show is imply to rivet on the everyday citizenry .

It feels nearly like a matter of regard thatAndorseason 2 not push out the stories of characters like Cassian Andor and Bix Caleen with the franchise ’s most care - grabbing theatrical role ( who have already get plenty of screen fourth dimension ) . Particularly asAndorseason 2 is all about fighting the Empire , Darth Vader would feel out of place . Some buff may be disappointed , but Tony Gilroy seemingly confirmed three years ago thatDarth Vaderwill not be come along inAndorseason 2 .
