Corruption alert: This story discusses the developments of conspiracy through season 2, episode 6 of “”Andor“Currently flow to Disney+.
Bin Mandason You cannot sit. We are talking by enlargement about his return to the role of Orson Krennic, the villain in the movie “Star Wars” 2016 “2016”Roge one“For the second season of the Lucasfilm’s Prequel” Andor “-which is very mysterious about the experience that continues throughout his home in London while we are talking Hamas.
Mandason recalls: “Tony has just said,” Will it be to return and make some scenes? “Mandson remembers.” What I was like, “Damn yes, definitely.”
Krennic appeared slightly on “Andor” this season, and every time, it was packed with punch. In Episode 1, he secretly meets with the imperial officers to plan to receive Gorman on a rare metal that the emperor requests. (Krennic’s advertised reason is that the metal is necessary to develop a source of renewable energy, but thanks to “Rogue One”, we know that its real job is to manage the creation of the Empire Secret Ultra-Wars weapon, The Death Star). While touring a special exhibition of antiquities during a luxurious party. Krennic mocks ridicule of the nature of the rebellions that everyone around him laugh politely, without realizing that the assistant Luthan, Keyya (Elizabeth Dolo), quietly removes the listening device in the same room.
In both episodes, Krennic emphasizes its authority easily and magic – on the sharp contrast of “Rogue One”, where he undermines it again and again by Grand Moff Tarkin and Darth Vader, which eventually evaporates by the star of death. As he explained in our interview, Mendelson regained the opportunity to explore more about his personality; He also discusses how “Andor” has been depth of his appreciation for “Rogue One”, and his feelings about many historical similarities in the real world in the show, and whether there is any possibility to play the character again.
When was you contacted for the first time about the reactivation of Krennic for “AndOr”?
For a long time, it has not been long after the first season. Tony just said, “Will you be a return and do some scenes?” Which you like, “Damn yes, definitely.” “Michael Clayton” is somewhere in my 25 most love films of all ages. Krennic and the entire “Star Wars” experience was a really good experience for me. But I had no idea how good it is. He took me with a happy surprise.
This seems that it was before you saw season 1?
Yes, yes.
So what is your reaction to the offer, knowing that you will be part of season 2?
Oh, well, “Andor” is such a universe made with brilliant and maturity on this universe. When these super brains decide to treat a species, such as the type of terror or the type of science fiction, it brings a lot to it. Gilroys can do a family to do a truly digestible and enjoyable way.
What did you know about entering the second season?
Tony put this concept, its historical parallel, etc., etc. Then it was one of those things that you really get your scenes. And then – [long, deep laugh] – Then you try and slot the best you can.
Wait, what was this laughter?
Well, the fact that – and I think I remember this correctly – you are not aware of everything that happens. I mean, I’m getting the place they come from, but you go there as she is doing a piece of Jigsaw.
How can you compare what we see from Krennic in the second season of “Andor” in exchange for what we see from it in “Rogue One”?
When we see him in “Rogue One”, we see him at the height of his achievement, but we also see him at a time when the guards of the other empire goes, “This looks good. I think this may be actually my division now.” So it is more stirred for that, as you know, and it is clear that the great secret is that Galin Eerso is the creator of the star of death. Although I will not give up the idea that I was built on the star of death. It is very good.
You see him in a period of more than Halsion period [in “Andor]. This is still climbing a lot. It is the most fruit in this period.
Sorry, it’s “more tired”?
Yes! There is a kind of feeling it revolves around it a little more, and enjoy itself. It has a better time here. He is doing an athlete. It is completely terrifying in a way not in “Rogue One”. Because I think the show is very terrifying. We never took it to this type of place, in an alternative way as we are here. It was never completely old and body in this way.
Krennic meeting in episode 1 with imperial officers, including advertising officials, It has compared To the Nazi planning for the final solution at the Wannse Conference. How much did you look at these types of historical similarities of your performance?
I did not search for it outside an approximate idea. I mean, I am relatively good in a good period of World War II. I think the reformulation device you intend to do in one way or another is something we see again and again. There is a more clear historical example, but I am very sensitive to the internal safety of the piece’s capabilities to be so explicit to point to one place or another. But I believe that for any audience that has an allergy to that, they will see that he repeats himself in history, it seems endless.
How did you feel you to explore a different dimension of krennic? In “Rogue One”, he is rarely the most important person in the room, and he is always on the back foot – while “AndOr”, it’s completely the opposite.
It was very satisfactory. It was something of my request, but I think it could have been this way anyway. As I say, it was good to play as a clear master in this field. It was more fun to do.
In Episode 6, we see Krennic in social position with civilians such as Mon Mothma and Luthen Rael. How was that to shoot?
I think that took a little longer to find a groove, because I and GeneView did not spend any time on the screen together, but [our characters] They knew each other for a very long time. Stelin’s character is clear that I have nothing to do with each other, unlike this type of ship passing by at night. But it was fun, as he wandered with the tension that was taking place there, of course, what is already happening on the other side of the room.
You seem to have photographed a lot of Krennic conversation while the scene moves to Kleya in an attempt to remove the listening device?
Yes, this is correct. We were aware of the time we were shooting, and that many of them are the things that occur in the background, etc., etc. There is more dialogue that relates to more irony and vitality than its type of suffering and its ridiculous and anti -privileged type, the extent of its absence, how it is designed, etc., etc. He is completely aware of the hand he holds, and the extent of its undermining. One’s hair as if we were shooting for several days, as you do when there are a lot of people talking about many different angles.
Did you watch “Rogue One” to prepare?
Oh, no, no, no, no. It is just the scenes and the situation that is already directing to explore it in different circumstances. Nothing is special in my efforts unlike, I do not know, some of some kind, position or not.
I ask because I wonder if “Andor” has reformulated Krennic or any part of “Rogue One” for you?
I think it adds a huge amount of gravity to “Rogue One” – and “Rogue One” king A lot of gravity. But “Andor” takes this and cubes. I mean, I watched the first movie in the cinema. I was eight years old or something like that, and I heard [makes a sound of a starship flying] Come above me, and my head was detonated. All my flakes were immediately. When we were talking about “Rogue One”, I think it is important to all of us that we have honored what it means to us and what we did to us. Until I know we have kicked a goal [with “Andor”].
I mean, it’s incredibly developed, right? But it is still very easy to digest. Now, I will refrain from comparing the most comparison, but great writing does it. It is accessible to those who sit in the forefront in the old theater, and who sits back – for children, for adults. I don’t know how to do it. I am an inventor of the Australian world of cinema and television from nearly 40 years. So the presence of an coming horse is something you can. This is the thing. I am on a horse. Not me. It is like, “Wow, see this amazing creature.”
Is there anything else you want to know? I know that I have reservations in certain areas. I go lightly, and I know this is not necessarily satisfactory for copying. Is there anything you want to return to?
You may be the first person to ask me that. I was curious about something else: Tony Gelry was clear that this offer would have always been directed directly to “Rogue One”. We all know what is happening to Crinick in this movie.
Well, we He thinks We do. [Bursts into laughter.] Please continue. I just try to talk to Bob Egger there – just send a small message to Bob.
This was in fact I was trying to reach it. It seems that watching “Andor”, it seems that there may be more to explore this character if it is not apparently blurred by the death star.
One of the deep pathological things is to make people start classifying it, as you know, in the hierarchy of the villain. Me me was previously the medium manager of the empire. It is not necessarily the most attractive CV for the villain. But the amount of meat that Tony put on the bones, I think the intrigues that occur inside the empire – struggle with power, this type of things – can be great to end. I mean, see, the simple truth of the issue is with the latest applications of artificial intelligence, who knows? To reformulate James Bond, never decrease again.
