Star Wars: Forest Whitaker Confirmed To Return In Disney+'s Rogue One Spin-off, Andor

The Star Wars franchise will continue to expand on the small screen due to the arrival of several Disney+ series that will fill in the gaps of the massive Skywalker Saga. One of these shows is Andor. 

Serving as a spinoff from 2016's Rogue One, Andor will showcase the return of Diego Luna's Cassian Andor, and it will be set years before the pivotal mission to steal the Death Star plans from the Empire. The prequel series will feature the origin story of the titular character while also doing a deep dive into the early days of the conflict between the Rebellion and the Darth Vader-led regime. 

Production of Andor is currently underway, with a plethora of leaks showcasing stunning looks at massive sets, spaceships, and the comeback of familiar-looking stormtroopers.  

Alongside Luna, the Rogue One star will be joined by a star-studded cast filled with returning Star Wars actors like Genevieve O'Reilly's Mon Mothma and Duncan Pow's Ruescott Melshi. Now, it looks like another actor from the spinoff will also make a comeback. 

FOREST WHITAKER'S STAR WARS RETURN REVEALED 

Andor star Stellan Skarsgard recently sat down as a guest on local Swedish radio station Sverige Radio to talk about his upcoming debut in the Star Wars franchise. 

During the interview, the actor revealed that he shared “juicy scenes” with Rogue One actor Forest Whitaker while filming the Disney+ series. Whitaker played Saw Gerrera in the Star Wars spinoff. 

Skarsgard pointed out that he shared “at least two good” scenes with Whitaker. 

This was first unearthed by Reddit user aprentize from the Star Wars Leaks subreddit. The interview was conducted in Swedish, thus the responses are translated.
